Had a great experience at Freeport Oyster Bar. The oysters were incredibly fresh, and I tried their Pepper-tini cocktail which was amazing with them. If you like a good dirty martini, you'll love this drink--it has that same savory, briny vibe but with a really fun twist. Perfect pairing with the oysters and a great spot overall. read more

Delicious oysters and grilled cheese with bacon. Borderline inedible cheese plate. Beautiful atmosphere. No one greeted us, and we stood for a while before seating ourselves. Wage fee added to the bill and tip still expected. Restaurant owners need to bake these BS fees into the actual menu. read more

Freeport Oyster Bar - Oysters - Seafood Near Me - Freeport, Maine

First time here and we really enjoyed the food and the vibe. It's all about oysters at an oyster bar, of course, so let's start there: they were delish, and we chose among a agreeable variety and wound up with a dozen ($36) briny, thick, succulent oysters. Add in some beers and a wonderfully spicy, overflowing Bloody Mary and we came away smiling. We ate outdoors under cover in the rear; very comfy and quiet. Inside it's very cozy and the vibe seems lively. Good service (thanks Rachel) and a good experience. read more

Outstanding oysters and noms! The Freeport Oyster Bar is an unassuming little place tucked just behind the Freeport Historical Society. There is plenty of parking in the many lots that are smattered around the popular LL Bean destination. They oysters are shucked as you order them, they come with lemon, and mignonette sauce, we tried ours with a side of kelp relish (not for me cause it was a lil spicy but my nephew was all about it). Oysters are briny served over ice, lots of liquid still in the shell for slurping fun. They also have other things to go with your oysters like soups, salads, snacks like popcorn and smoked salmon dip. They have something on the menu called Tinned Fish Plate - I'm going back soon to try that cause tinned fish is up my alley. Add lobster rolls and hot dogs to the list of yums! This is a place for locals and tourists alike. The night we went there were some local fishermen/lobster men buying drinks for everyone at the bar - but you have to ring the bell first! You'll see the bell.... The bar tender was on her game, we tried their rotating mocktail, and I tried the Ruby Slipper just because of it's name. Service was fast, friendly, and busy. The inside is like the hull of a ship, think nautical theme, exposed beams, old warm wood that looks like it was salvaged from the sea. I highly recommend if you're in Freeport, have some cold beers, some fresh LOCAL oysters and that's the way life should be. read more

We stopped here to fuel for shopping at the outlets. It was a great casual spot with oysters, sandwiches, shareables, and soups! Service was quick and prices were fair:) read more

Only one waitress was working, so there was a wait, but it was all well worth it! Had the clam chowder soup with sourdough bread, along with a half dozen fresh oysters. The chowder was really, really good, and the clams tasted like they were fresh. They served 2 kinds of oysters, which were delicious with just lemon. Washed down with draft beer (Allagash). Waitress was frazzled but still very friendly. The place was neat and tidy, with most of the seating at the bar. Would come again, if I'm ever in the area. read more

7/4/25 Went in as the doors opened at noon on the Fourth- the only one to sit at 'The Shuckers' Bar' (which I recommend). The three shuckers were engaging, friendly, until the tourist crowd rapidly filled the place and the oyster orders swamped the shuckers. They are good, however and very very few shell bits were left. The restaurant feels new, fresh, inviting. I had six bombazines, cultivated in Brunswick, ME and six Besos Del Mar (Spanish for kisses of the sea). The bombazines were thick, filled a deep cup, were meaty yet soft, and crushed easily with the tongue against the roof of the mouth; creamy, slightly sweet, slightly salty, with a sweet finish like a German Spaetlese. Sublime ; required no help from the mignonette or lemon slice. I found the Besos Del Mar slightly harsh and off-putting, also briney and with a taste vastly improved with a half-teaspoon of mignonette or a few drops of lemon. Both species were fresh, full, filling the cup, as the photos illustrate. I will be back here, frequently! read more

I've been to Freeport plenty of times but have never stopped in here before! I'm from the area, but had a few friends visiting from out of town and they insisted that we find somewhere to get some chowder. The restaurant is very cozy (not too many tables for indoor seating), but luckily we didn't have to wait long as a party was leaving just as we arrived. The service was very quick and the waitress was attentive to our table. I ordered the Winter Kale Salad, which was really fresh and delicious! I wasn't too hungry so this was perfect. My brother ordered the grilled cheese, and my friends ordered the clam chowder. All of it arrived warm and was perfect for a chilly day. I will definitely be going again next time I'm in Freeport and will recommend to anyone visiting! read more

This was stop #1 for fresh oysters after visiting LL Bean (we went to Linda Bean's later). We were able to get right in at a small table for 2. It's not a very large place & the tables are close together so it's a bit cramped in there. They were also hosting a fundraiser in the entryway so that added to the crowding. Our waitress was knowledgeable & helped us choose what type of oysters we wanted. We went with a full dozen, but one half was from one part of ME & the other half from another part of ME. I cannot recollect clearly what the waitress told us, but they did have slightly different tastes. They also had a unique relish they make in house which was pretty good with the oysters! Another young man brought our oysters out to us & explained what each dip was. He was very enthusiastic about it & seemed to enjoy reviewing our order. We thought that was above & beyond. They also brought us a small pitcher of water & we needed it after all the walking around we had done. We were in & out. Seems like a trendy place for younger to middle-aged people. Everyone was in a great mood & the atmosphere was upbeat. read more

This is a great place for drinks, oysters and apps. Their kelp margarita, while not a heavy or big pour, is unique and delicious. It's a great place to go for a date or alone up to the bar for soup, salad and beer. Not somewhere that I'd go with picky kids or if you're looking for a substantially filling meal. Service has always been great. read more

From the waitstaff to the friendly gentleman who prepared our oysters, this restaurant was a great experience. We got to sample kelp relish and tried two different types of oysters. The cocktails were great too, they a bacon fat infused old fashioned that was excellent. read more

Walked from LL Bean to find dinner. During the off season it was hard to find a place open. My goal was to east as much and variety of lobster as I could in my 4 days in Maine., Found this place and went in. A few locals who were finishing up and then staff. It is a cute little place. A few seats and bar seating. I bet the summer is a great time here when the doors are open and there is seating on the grassy area out back/front. My server/bartender was great. We talked the whole time I was in there. She was heading on a trip to Mexico to meet some friends and surf. She recommended the Lobster BLT. I would have never thought of lobster on a BLT but it was so good. The lobster was tender and the bacon was so crispy. The right amount of lettuce and tomatoes rounded out the sandwich. There was just the right amount of mayo and I did not have to also for more. Both pieces of my sandwich were spread with mayo as a sandwich should be. Fresh kettle chips and house-made pickles were served with the sandwich. 10/10 for food and conversation. I know it has be a few months but I think her name was Sam or maybe Chris. Than you for the great service and treating an out of town we like family when I came in. read more

Sarah our server was great. Kelp margarita was light and refreshing. Scallop crudo was larger than expected. Oysters were the cleanest I've ever had and so good. Mussel toast was a pleasant surprise-I really liked the lemon aioli. Would get all again. read more

Great cozy spot! Kate made a stupid good Bloody Mary. Oysters were fresh as heck. Kelp relish was bangin. Super nice staff

Everything about this place is perfect. If you can only have one meal in New England in your lifetime, have it here. Location: in the heart of Freeport, steps away from LL Bean flagship, and dozens of other shops. Vibe: Chill, simple but clean decor. Drinks: amazing selection including multiple nonalcoholic beer selections Food: Epic. The oysters, clam chowder, and Lobster Rolls are among the best I've had anywhere in my lifetime. Service was attentive but unrushed. Wound up eating here 3 times over 4 days. read more

To those oyster fanatics among us that love the briny cocktail sized little shells of joy - they'll grow up for your pleasure and ready to serve after time spent playing in cool water habitats. I prefer when they grow in the rich cool waters of Prince Edward Island or Seattle - Effinghams and Quillocines and now Islesboros finest - look and see - my man's pointing it out on the map. I'll add in the specific varietals once I conjure up my notes - a life of random unorganized loose papers constantly floating around me, it's no way to live, I assure you. This fine gentleman in the photograph is Bossman's son - Bossman is a biologist - a big hearted big smile big fella that enjoys talking with the patrons, his presence makes everything merry. Bossman's son (name to be added later, my apologies, it's contingent upon discovery of my damn notes - uugh, I'm so pissed at myself, I hand wrote 1.5 pages when I got home) was teaching a new recruit proper shucking technique. Scoop in a light semi circle, don't stick, jab, scoop and lift - I added that part - shucked a few myself for pay and pleasure. Long Island and Connecticut - where Blue Points reign supreme - never much cared at any high level for those, they're too chunky, so are Beaver Tails, just with prettier shells and gulfs can remain there with the Exxon Valdez - no anti environmental comment there - I just like big money sinking to the bottom depths, being swallowed up and decaying and making beautiful fish hotels, musta been the fishbowl wreckage I kept buying from Portland Discounts - the pirate, the gold - the doomed diver with the bronze forward window pumpkin globe on his head. Did I mention that I filed my receipt record and my notes therein? It's because I can't find them now - still - three hours later having struck up the search party again.. but this receipt aggression shall not stand man, I shall not stand by and allow my particulars to just drift on by to nowheresville.

Limited menu, not many options. My family of 4 came here after shopping, seated right away. We ordered oysters, lobster roll, lobster grilled cheese, and clam chowders. Oysters were good, got a few pieces of shell but that's to be expected. Lobster roll and lobster grilled cheese: fresh and yummy Clam chowders: I didn't get to try, the kids ate it up. Only comes in 1 size equivalent to a cup. If you want to pair it with bread it's an additional $4. Come here on my if you want a light meal, portions are small. We would only come here again as a last option. read more

on the plus side, pleasant environment, pleasant staff. the food was pretty good ( not fantastic) but served in ridiculous portions. $16 for clam chowder. it was a six ounce cup. $32 for a clam melt that was opened faced. we spent $78 plus a tip and stopped to get a pizza on the way home read more

Lobster roll great, lots of meat and the bread was fantastic. Featured local draft beer. Small place a definite must!

The Freeport Oyster Bar is new in town since the last time I visited. We stopped in on a chilly evening and ended up with a dozen oysters on the halfshell and a cheese board over probably a 3 hour period. All were incredibly fresh and super good. This spot is awesome! We spent a lot of time talking to people around and behind the bar and really just had a great evening. I'm looking forward to going back the next time we're in town. read more

All of the food was great. Adding kelp (powdered, flaked, pickled) to a lot of the dishes was really unique. The local raw oysters were perfect, Old Bay popcorn awesome, charcuterie and pickled veg were high quality. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Mains - Greek farro salad "excellent", FOB dog, Classic and Seasonal grilled cheeses were all full flavored and great. Very good prices on beer. The space itself had a lot of character. Great bars, which takes up a lot of the place. We went early on a Tuesday so we were seated right away. I could see there being a wait often at high times. Highly recommend. read more
