This was a total surprise! Her seafood was phenomenal and the fried mushrooms were exceptional! The mashed potatoes had amazing flavor! Stop by and have some clams or meatloaf and tell her that "Idaho" sent ya! Absolutely fantastic! read more

Good old Down East comfort food! Seafood Chowder is enough to satisfy your fish,clam, scallop and lobster desires, add the potatoes and cream, yum. Local and out of Townes sharing a meal in old Barb's dining room. The broiled seafood plate was equally fresh and tasty combo. I hear the owner is considering a new life so good luck and may Barb be spirit carry on. read more

Ordered the haddock dinner and received a HUGE piece of fish battered in just the right amount. The garden salad was generous and beautifully arranged. Their homemade blue cheese salad dressing was incredible with big chunks of blue cheese. The crowning touch was warm Forest Pie (perfect crust with strawberry rhubarb, apple, raspberry and cherry filling.) Very homey clean place with friendly and efficient staff. I felt like a local! read more

We were passing thru and saw Just Barb's - which turned out to be the perfect choice for dinner. We shared the "Seafood Sampler," a huge dish more than enough for two people. The fish was fresh, tasty, and perfectly cooked; the batter was light and tasty. We stay away from places that mess up perfectly innocent fish with sauces and weird seasoning - we want our fish to taste fresh and unadulterated. They had a good choice of wine and beer and low prices, and the service was A+. read more

Just Barb's seafood chowder and desserts are delicious. Service is home town perfect. Ambience is kitschy nautical. A bit pricey, but overall one of the best (and only) places to dine in Stockton Springs. read more

Barb got a divorce and changed it from Bob and Barb's to Just Barb's. Barb is gone as is another Barb by UT the menu is the same. Nicely fried seafood is featured, but they have chicken and steak etc if you like. The scallops were especially good. Sweet coleslaw was nice and fries are fine. A hole belly clams are recommended. Service is VERY friendly, quick, willing, and accurate. Decor is plain but clean. We ate well and left happy read more

Let me say upfront--reserve your prime rib ahead of time. That being said, it's worth the phone call. If you are expecting fine dining, temper your expectations. The indoor dining area is not fancy and offers a great view of the service area and restroom, and features nothing but a life sized pirate statue in the way of ambiance, but no one is going there for ambiance or the service. We're all there for the food. The two of us had prime rib which was indeed delicious and a huge pirtion. The salads were beautifully put together on chilled plates and not just a random handful of bagged spring mix. What a nice surprise. Our waitress was boisterous with other tables and ignored our order, bringing water instead of the soft drinks, and neglecting to bring our vegetable until we questioned her about it. The meal was well cooked and beyond fantastic. It offset the lackluster service. We didn't order dessert, but looking around at other dessert orders, we made a mental note to get the strawberry shortcake next time. By the way, the leftovers are plentiful and still yummy. read more

Best fried clams ever! They have great sandwiches and wraps. I have school friends that come from the coast of CA and love their food. Eat inside or outside you will never leave hungry. Staff is always very nice and patient. Come and try it for yourself you will be pleasant surprised. read more

I love this place and a great one for locals. No frills, goid food, reasonable prices and friendly staff. Hard to find these days...

YOU MUST EAT HERE Undoubtedly the best meal ever. Shrimp extremely tasty & tender. Onion rings to die for. Batter was light & not greasy. And the blueberry pie!! Loaded with fresh blueberries with perfect amount of sweetness. The crust was light & flaky. Never had better. Can't wait to return. read more

Just Barb's - Fried shrimp basket. Best meal ever!!! - Seafood Near Me - Stockton Springs, Maine

The fish & chips were best we've ever had! What an unexpected delight. Groovy diner like atmosphere, fantastic waitresses/cook/manager Jinane (so- sorry!). Definitely highly recommended. We will return without a doubt. read more

What it lacks in Ambiance, it more than makes up for with the food ! The Prime Rib on Fridays is delicious too !

First off the food was excellent; we expected prime rib but by the time we got seated and waited on, it was no longer available. Prime rib starts at 5 we arrived at 5:45. So we opted for scallop plates. The wait staff was completely stressed out, and overall it was chaotic inside as they had two big parties at tables outside too and people waiting for both take out and seats in a tiny space. I found out if you knew to call for the prime rib they'd save it for you when you arrived at a table, or you could pick it up for take out. Those who got prime rib said it was excellent. The staff couldn't have been nicer; but it was a learning curve for these vacationers... read more

Food was very good (fish + chips, fried clams, onion rings) served hot. Service was fast and friendly. Prices good. Onion rings were the best we have ever had anywhere. Small but Very clean and well maintained with lovely potted flowers outside. read more

Just Average. Stopped here for breakfast on the way out to the park and it was fine. Wife liked her omelet and my breakfast was just okay. Potatoes were awful. You could do worse if you're hungry and just need to fill your stomach. Portions are ample. read more

Just Barb's is not a place to go for white tablecloths and wine, however it is clean and comfortable. The food is usually quite good but the meal on Monday was definitely a miss. Three of our party ordered clam baskets and compared to the usual the food was quite disappointing. I am not sure if it is because someone in the party asked for extra crispy fries and someone took offense, I m not sure. The plates arrived with what I feel were reduced proportions, (both clams and fries) over cooked tasteless fries and the clams as well were overdone. Definitely not even close to the clams and fries we have had in the past. The service was good as it usually is there although it could not make up for the disappointment in the food. So disappointed we skipped desert - did not want to take a chance. read more

I am so sorry to write this review but we had dinner here tonight and I felt kind of weird leaving and the second I got home I'm bent over stomach ache about to cry and stomach making weird noises and let's just say it didn't get prettier after that. I hope this is an isolated incident but I won't be back to try again. read more

My husband and I are visiting Maine to spend time with some friends. En route to their house, we stopped at Just Barb's for lunch. Our server highly recommended the fried clams. My husband took her advice and ordered them, and he was so glad he did! He says they were the best fried clams he's ever eaten in his life! I had the seafood chowder, and it was absolutely delicious. Our server was kind, friendly, and knowledgeable, and the chef even came out to greet us. We loved our visit to Just Barb's and will definitely return there if we get an opportunity! read more

Was there on a recent vacation and enjoyed several meals there. Service and food was excellent.

So a neighbor kept telling us the clams were the best. The menu claimed "best in New England". My companion had the fried clam appetizers and said they were good, but not as good as other places---too much dough he proferred. He did comment the cold beer in a frosted glass was the best he's had in a while. Oh yes, he also devoured the yeast bread delivered warm to the table. I chose the haddock sandwich and it was fabulous!! Flaky and warm inside a nice Hun with a touch of tartar sauce. The fountain soda was lacking (diet coke)~so I drank the other half of the beer above. We didn't have room for dessert. Place was busy on a Thursday at lunch. I saw a lobster roll and it looked good, and the dinner portions looked huge. Worth a try for a nice local spot! read more

Breakfast food is very good and you get good portions for the price. Small diner vibe, crowded seating and we were lucky they were not busy. Wait staff was busy but attentive. read more

Stopped in to pickup some snacks for takeout. When we were around town some of the locals mentioned this spot as one of their go-to spots. There were only a few people dining in at the time so they were really fast putting our order in. I had a blueberry milkshake (yum!) and cheese sticks. My husband had a lobster roll with fries. He liked the lobster roll, and the fries were really delicious. Would definitely return here and try some other things if we are in the area again. . read more

The haddock Reuben sandwich was absolutely delicious. Would recommend this place for a place to eat.

An absolute gem that has been here for years! I've dined at some of the finest restaurants in the US, and I'd still rather eat here :) Good service among the pandemic, excellent portions, fresh, tasty seafood, and fair prices. Truly the best seafood along Route 1. Try some blueberry iced tea and fried Native Maine Shrimp. The non-seafood cuisine is very good, if you're a land-lubber, too. I miss going here with my grandmother (even when she used to get Liver & Onions). Breakfast, lunch, or dinner - just go to Just Barb's! read more

Visiting from California and stopped in for dinner on our way back to Stockton Springs after a 5 mile hike in Acadia! We were craving burgers but wanted to try their seafood too, so we had two burgers and the shrimp app, which is a plate of fried shrimp. Everything totally hit the spot! The shrimp was excellent and the burgers were nothing fancy but really good, as were the fries. The menu has a wide range of items from lots of seafood to pork chops, chicken fingers, Alfredo, and more. The inside has a casual diner feel and the service was incredible. Can definitely recommend for a laid back meal in the area! read more

Delicious food! Had the homemade clam chowder (best I've ever had!) and sweet potato fries. My mom had the haddock chowder and onion rings which were also delicious. Will definitely be returning. read more

No. I'm sorry. I couldn't get over the absolutely bland meal that resembled cafeteria food. The scrambled eggs were scrambled into tiny bits, I couldn't even pick them up with my fork (even if I had wanted to eat them). Cold, cold, cold in just about every aspect. I don't understand how owners can expect success without quality. read more

Very friendly waitress! And waiter! Food was very fresh and delicious! Haddock chowder was loaded with fish and the haddock Reuben was yummy. Service was great and we would return another time. Our friend from florida bought a t shirt as his mom was barb!!! read more

Service was great but the food was very disappointing. We went especially for the prime rib; however, I did not see any mention that you have to 'reserve' your prime rib in advance. I did notice that there was a huge disparity in the size of portions for regular customers as opposed to others. The regular customers had portions of about two inches thick and the others were served portions closer to 1/2 inch. Since I was not 'allowed' to have prime rib I ordered the ribeye. It was only about 1/4 inch thick, extremely tough, no flavor, dry, and the most gristle I have probably ever had in a steak. For $33.00 it was definitely not worth it. Our waitress was the nicest person ever, but the older lady working was very rude to anyone that she did not take care of. Very disappointing for something we were really looking forward to having to be told no that all the prime rib was reserved. We also made sure we went there at about 5:00 PM as I know restaurants only cook so much prime rib but we've never experienced having to reserve our food a week in advance. They really need to treat all customers the same. The disparity in portions is a huge red flag. We will not be returning. read more

We loved this little place. Stopped by for dinner outside on our way to our rental in Searsport from a day on Mt. Desert Island with our 11 & 13 year old children. My daughter said the fried chicken was the best (and teens are PICKY lol)... I had the haddock chowder and it was delicious. The service was very friendly and the place was cute and casual. I'd definitely go back. read more
