From out of state, this restaurant came highly recommended--and it absolutely lived up to the hype! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with friendly service, and the restaurant was exceptionally clean. The food was outstanding! I ordered the deep-sea scallops and the haddock chowder, and both were absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, and everything was cooked perfectly. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal. Definitely a 5-star experience! read more

We stopped in here for a late lunch the other day. The service was friendly and the restaurant was very clean. We ordered our food at the counter and waited a shirt time for the food. We ordered a chicken basket, a haddock and chicken combo basket, a small onion rings and a cup of seafood chowder. We enjoyed all of it! We honestly ordered more food than we could eat but it was very good. If you like fried seafood this will not disappoint. It wasn't greasy at all and everything was cooked perfectly. read more

You will find this unassuming seafood restaurant in the back of a strip mall off center street. Service was quick, friendly and knowledgeable. Not many people dining in on a Wednesday but it has the feel of a take out joint, so that Might be why. ( there is a small dining area with several tables and a few booths. I chose a lighter portion of a fried seafood combo. Drinks are available in a cooler ( no ice... ah, well) . The seafood was cooked perfectly, fish melted in your mouth, whole belly clams were flavorful and the crisp batter was a delight. Tartar sauce is served in a squeeze bottle and it didn't disappoint. Might order without fries next time as they seemed unnecessary next to the lovely variety of seafood. Craving a fried combo? Give them a try read more

We've tried this restaurant twice and both times we've found it to be very greasy and bland The only good thing was the friendly staff

Great service, freshly cooked and nice portions . Basically a hidden gem . I'll definitely come back !

The food was absolutely amazing -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented! Our waitress, Mary, was fantastic -- friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back! read more

Tried for the first time! Counter server was very nice I ordered whole belly claims w/onion rings. Food was very good & fresh. Atmosphere is very unassuming & plain. Give it a try!. read more

Back in Maine for a visit and needed my lobsta roll fix and KP's did not disappoint. Great Rings too. Whole staff was very friendly and the spot was clean as a whistle! read more

great place to go if you're jonesing for fried seafood or chicken. Tucked away in a shopping plaza.

They only have white chicken breast which is not my favorite for fried chicken meals. But the nuggets/tenders and other food is excellent and served to order and hot . For me, definitely a take out spot. read more

Great chicken! Had a craving and gave KP's a shot. Now, I'm looking forward to going back and trying some more of their menu offerings. Great food and friendly service. Keep up the good work. read more

If you are someone who enjoys the Old Orchard style fried foods you get at and around the pier then this is the place for you. They are located just inside the same strip mall as Roak the Flourist. They have about a dozen or so tables but you can watch them as they prepare and cook your food. The staff is very friendly and they have earned several food awards and been recognized by the city for their success. I love the clam strip latter. When taken to go it comes in a good size box piled high with clam strips, a dinner roll, lots of french fries, and the sauces to go with it all. You have to have an appetite to finish a single basket serving. Their chicken finger platter is good as well. All in all this place is a great stop if you want your fried food or sea food fix for a quick and on-the-go experience. I would highly recommend you try it out. read more

Eww. you'll regret spending here. $28 for a small lobster roll and onion rings. The people were nice but the food tells another story. read more

KP's Place - a fork and knife in a paper bag - Seafood Near Me - Auburn, Maine

Pretty good food but the menu doesn't reflect the price. Mixed seafood basket was advertised as 15.99 but the price was 21.00 dollars apiece for 2 baskets.grand total was over 42.00 we got plenty though as opposed to a restaurant the seafood was juicy and delicious read more

Passing by today and thought" it has been awhile" so I stopped in and grabbed one of my old favorites mixed seafood . The clams looked and tasted like they were refried from a batch done earlier in the week. Nearly burned. The shrimp and scallops not as bad but also seemed to be leftovers from another day. The haddock may have been fresh but my tastbuds were screaming at me from the abuse of the other trash that I had put on them that I can't be sure. Hoping this is not the norm that KP's has become. I'll read reviews before revisiting again. read more

What a great place to eat! We did take out for a late lunch and it was amazing. Hands down the best selection of fried food around. You won't be disappointed! read more

Had the scallop dinner, it was good although scallops were slightly undercooked. I wanted coleslaw but learned it didnt come with the dinner (basket). Had a cold and dried out dinner roll instead of slaw included, would rather see them include the coleslaw. Anyway bought a side of slow for a dollar something. Cant beat the base price of the basket though. Just wish they had the ocean with tables behind them. Went there instead of the annual trip to ocean, still in need of ocean things (smells, seagulls, etc). But yes I would return for another scallop dinner read more

ABSOLUTELY outstanding seafood. And crazy fast ! Especially for how busy they can be on the weekends. And the staff is very friendly too. Just can't recommend them enough. Had the seafood combo a couple of times now and have never been disappointed. Always so very good. Definitely check them out ! Support your locally owned businesses! read more

My guilty pleasure: fried food. While visiting, I wanted to try out how the local Mainers do it. I got the 1/2 shrimp and Haddock. It was less oily than expected, which is a huge plus. The serving is generous. Employees are nice and friendly. All in all, great food with less of the guilt. read more

KP's Place - Haddock and shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Auburn, Maine

Always hot and the freshest fried chicken in town! Can't be the price on that family meal anywhere else in the State!

I was in Auburn for a conference and the desk clerk said there was only one place to go for a lobster roll- KP's. I wasn't the only one in my party who wanted Maine lobster. Several had the roll. It was VERY tasty. A quarter-pound of lobster on a perfectly toasted roll. Simply and expertly done. I also had their clam chowder. Perfect. Others in my party had the Haddock Sandwich and the Maine Shrimp plate. Smiles all around! KP's is the real deal. If I'm ever back in Auburn I will be returning for sure. read more

KP's Place - Lobster roll! Yum yum. - Seafood Near Me - Auburn, Maine

I wanted to like this place, but there was not much redeeming quality to the fish and chips I ordered. Maybe it was because I walked in 30 minutes before their closing, but whatever the reason might be, the fries were seriously overcooked and hard. They were possibly some leftovers from earlier that were reheated. Needless to say, haddock pieces were dry and lacked flavor. In Maine, you can do a whole lot better. read more

Great food, good fair price, friendly service. We try to stop hear everytime we come to Maine.

Food is always fresh and made to order. Absolutely top shelf and the people are amazing. The owner is onsite and cooking all the time. This is a must stop! I regularly go out of my way to grab some soup, lobster roll, clams and/or chicken! The grilled haddock sandwich is amazing! read more

I am pleased to give another review to KP they have expanded and I doing very well the place is been clean and the food is excellent I love it when a place can turn around they always make you feel welcome and we're glad to have them back in the rotation read more

Not the best customer service but not the worst Amazing Fried food highly recommend if your in the area. read more

Was looking for a new place to have seafood . Had read many good reviews here and on Facebook. So we decided to give it a go . We got there at about 5 pm . You walk in , take a menu order at the counter . Dine in or takeout . Woman at counter was friendly . Only one couple in the whole place . We should have turned around and walked but we didn't . The place seemed clean . We both ordered the seafood basket . We ordered it with onion rings for $1.25 extra . I was nervous about going when I found out the used frozen pre made French fries but I normally get onion rings so not a big deal I thought . While our order is being fried , you can hear and see the cook coughing and coughing and coughing . I'm hoping it's not all over my food . Gross . By the way the kitchen is right where you eat . You can see and hear everything and I mean everything . So the pleasant woman brought the food to the table on a tray which had the baskets , tarter sauce , 2 small dishes which had a plastic container for the tarter sauce and one square of butter . I could not find the roll so I went to the counter and asked about the missing rolls . She said they were under the food in the basket . I thought that was very strange . Plenty of room on the tray . I have never seen such a thing . So by the time I got to the roll it was all greasy . It's used as a filler to give you less food . Most of our baskets was tiny shrimp . A few finger like haddock , which at first I could not identify . I have never seen haddock like that ! I think it was frozen and cut and breaded then fried . The clams were flavorless and the breading was falling off. I've never seen that either . The seafood was flavorless and I'd question the freshness . To all the people who have written that this is the best seafood they have ever eaten , where the heck have you been eating ? This is my opinion and my own experience . Maybe your will be different ‍ read more

Food is fast and tasty. The bathroom was gross. And all seating tables dirty. 4 workers and we were the only customers. No excuse for such a dirty dining area and bathroom. I don't think we will come here again. read more

My go-to for fried chicken. They have mastered how to make the batter sweet and salty. The chicken is also moist and not dry. It's consistent every time and the standard to which I hold chicken fingers to. I can't comment on the rest of the menu because I can't help but get the same thing. read more

Fabulously fresh food. Basic it fresh. Best fried clams I've ever had! The place is great! read more

KP's Place - Large, fresh friend clams! :) - Seafood Near Me - Auburn, Maine

I got the shrimp basket and it was huge. The shrimp were good, but the fries were very bland - no seasoning at all. The big problem is they only gave me one small container of tartar sauce, not nearly enough for all the shrimp. They gave me four packets of ketchup, and I didn't even ask for that. I would have preferred the roll in a separate container from the fried food, and maybe some butter would have been nice...And apparently they don't understand the concept of curbside pickup cause I still had to go inside to get the food even though I specifically asked if they did curbside pickup. And when I went inside almost no one was wearing a mask, including the gentleman doing the cooking - made me nervous. read more

Found this little gem tucked away in a shopping plaza. The food was fresh, delicious and supplied in great portions! The prices were also very reasonable. The tomato was a little It soggy but it's almost January so that's understandable. I was impressed that a grilled fish option was available although next time I may ask for extra blackening seasonings on the haddock sandwich. The staff was very friendly, we will def be back! read more

We love KPs!! The staff are friendly and accommodating. The food is delicious and always fresh!

this place by far has the worst tasting fries i have ever eaten their seafood had no taste at all and the breading was falling off they should re think their fries not sure where they get them but i have had better fries from walmart, read more

Simple food. Excellent price. Huge portion. Lots of take home. Quiet at mid afternoon

Found the review on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Have to say the meal was very good with prices being very reasonable. Portion size was fantastic. I ordered the seafood combo basket and my son the shrimp basket. Both were outstanding and could have made two meals for each of us. Will definitely come again if in the area. read more

Favorite place for fish and chips! Very Friendly staff, clean environment all together, and amazing food.

Ordered 2 of the chicken baskets. What a mess. It was chunks of chicken thrown in a box. Also subbed in onion rings for fries. I saw them take the onion rings out of a freezer. The bag wasn't tied so they were all white and clearly freezer burned. No taste to the onion rings and I wasn't surprised because that's freezer burned food tastes like. The chicken was bland, tasteless and overcooked. KFC does a better job at chicken than this place and it costs much less!. Never again! read more

Simply the best fried seafood in the L/A area! We've only actually ordered from here once but will definitely be ordering again soon!

Great food, good price, and friendly people. Haddock chowder, fried chicken, lobster rolls are amazing. I have not tried everything but doubt there is anything less than perfectly made. read more
