    Seafood menu
    Rick C.

    Beautiful location on the water. I enjoyed the steamers and had a great 1.5 pound lobster. This place has a great craft beer selection. Would unreservedly return here.

    What a view!

    What a delightful place. We came upon this gem of a place while searching for dinner on the water. The cocktails were luscious and the seafood divine. They even have Adirondack chairs to sit in after dining and gaze out at the water! Just go!! You'll not regret it

    No idea on the food, service or ambiance. I called the restaurant asked if they allowed dogs, yes we do but we don't take reservations no problem we left early after an hour drive we were dogs aren't allowed, terrific a busy Saturday in Maine which is why I called ahead and asked? There was no way we were getting in anywhere else, extremely disappointed in Hobbs and they way they handled this, worse part is that the food is subpar, the clam chowder is very sandy and butter just floats on top , and the service they rave about, I've never seen it, always have to ask for everything from bread to silverware to drinks. A big no for me and my family here on out.

    Fried clams and fries (a little monochromatic!)

    My husband and I had a large meal for brunch. Later in the afternoon we decided we needed a "snack". Hobbs Harborside had been recommended by a few people so we went there. We were told how fabulous the menu was and how special everything is. We really just wanted fried clams! To get them, we ended up ordering an entree that included fried clams, fries, and coleslaw and we shared it. Everything was very average - including the menu. It may as well have been a Red Lobster. The clams were cooked well and our server, Jessica, was friendly, and our view was nice. Our table looked over the water on a sunny fall day - it was pretty. We just really didn't think there was anything special, but it wasn't bad either.

    Swordfish

    We arrived at 4:30, the place was already very busy. We put our name in for a table and went outside and enjoyed the live music, and a few cocktails. We got seated at a dinner table about 5:15pm. We ordered the scallops wrapped in bacon, which are listed as gluten-free, later to find out that they fry them in the same fryer as all the other seafood with breadcrumb, so they are not gluten-free. My swordfish was excellent as was my wife's salmon. Both delicious. There was six of us in total and the server did a very good job.

    Lunch at Hobbs Harborside in Wells, Maine beside the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Preserve

    This was a great find, while out exploring Wells, Maine. Clean, friendly fast service, with an awesome view of the harbor. They brought out fresh dinner rolls, with honey butter, to start. My husband had the Seafood Sampler, which included haddock, sea scallops and stuffed shrimp broiled with a butter crumb topping. His sides included Brussel Spouts, and his choice of Coleslaw...all very good. I had the Fish 'n Chips, which were also good. This was a nice place, with lots of locals eating here. I recommend it.

    I loved sitting outside soaking in the view.. My drink was average.. a little too sweet like a fake syrup taste... My waitress was a doll! The fried shrimp were good!

    Malcolm was the best server ever!! Fast service and frequent check in Delicious Food!! Wonderful clam chowder Beautiful surroundings! Our new Wells go to!

    View from the bar, sunsets are wondefful.

    Wonderful experience. Best seafood in the area. We go there as often as we can. Order the trifecta wings, they were a great starter.

    Back patio overlooking Wells, Harbor

    We stopped by to watch a local musician perform on the outside patio, then grabbed a bite to eat. We were promptly met inside the door, and handed a buzzer for our wait for a table. In the meantime, we strolled onto the back patio area that overlooks Wells Harbor, to watch Paul Chase Jr play his acoustic guitar and sing (). There's a lovely view of Wells Harbor from the patio, and lots of bird life to see. After Pauls performance, we went inside to eat. The dining room was pretty full, and a little loud because of a low ceiling. Service was good, food was average quality. My wife and daughter both enjoyed their shrimp scampi ($ 27.00), and my haddock dinner was ok, nothing special. I ordered the "small" dinner ($24.00), which came with some French fries and coleslaw slaw. The piece of fish was small and thin, and the fries were just barely warm, with no flavor except for salt on them. I finished the fish, but only ate 1/4 of the fries. The girls both ordered High Noons to drink, and I had a glass of local draft beer. Dinner with one drink each cost $130.00 with the tip included.

    Lobster roll and fries today's special

    Off the beaten path and we loved it! Having come to this area for years, we have our favorite…read morestops. We try to visit them all, but this trip was different. One of our favorite stops had closed due to seasonal hours, so we decided to hit some other locals places. We were thrilled when we found the Fisherman's Catch last year and decided to go back again this year. We were seated right away and served not too long after. The staff is friendly and attentive. The upscale shack-like atmosphere is on point. We love their lobster paper towel holders that are suspended from the ceiling. I can say that the seating inside is comfortable but I have not been able to try the outdoor seating. So far we have tried the scallops, clam strips, fish sandwich, clam chowder, the fries, the coleslaw, and I'm sure I've forgotten something else. We have been very pleased with everything. When visiting in-season, it's best to get to the restaurant before 5pm. Parking fills up and the line can get long. In late October or early November it is much easier to get a table. Try this place once and I can guarantee you'll be planning a return trip.

    First, thank you for staying open into the off season!!…read more I just happened across Fisherman's Catch and what a treat it was. I had the whole lobster (1.25lbs) and fried whole belly clams. The meal was absolutely delicious. The service and people were super nice, that includes the server Ani and the kitchen staff. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean and fresh. I'm excited to return here some day. What a great meal.
