Ordered two sandwiches, bakery items and coffees. Left for the beach- and when we went to eat- wasn't our order at all.... Called twice to let them know- but didn't answer- as their line said too busy- sorry. Fine- we came back in the morning and explained that we got a Cuban and a bagel/ cream cheese instead of our sandwich and açaí bowl with extra items- he said about $30... but bc it was the day before they couldn't do anything about it. Frustrating- esp bc I offered to pay for what we got yesterday- just give me what I ordered... but that wasn't an option. We had planned to order egg sandwiches today- so - dumb us did that... Thank goodness we checked before we left - they totally gave us the wrong order !! Okay place - not sure they can handle the business...and definitely not customer thoughtful. We won't be back.

The service was quick and waitstaff very pleasant. The only downside is the noise from the street and the occasional train that screams past the open back door. If you're tired of carnival food and want an excellent meal in OOB I highly recommend this place.

Okayyyyy Big Daddy's!…read more I ordered the Peach Bacon Glaze Burger with lots of cheese and caramelized onions, cooked medium, and BABYYYY... ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! First of all, this burger was HUGE! I could only eat half and once I was FULL. The combination of the sweet peach bacon glaze, melty cheese, caramelized onions and that perfectly cooked burger was EVERYTHING. This was definitely the star of the meal. I also ordered the Jalapeño Hush Puppies. Now, those? Not really my thing. I didn't care too much for them, but thankfully the burger more than made up for it. I sat at the bar because it was pretty busy, and even with the crowd, customer service was AMAZING. Everybody was friendly and attentive. The ambience is cool. Definitely gives bar/pub vibes, and while the inside is on the smaller side, it still works for a casual date night, drinks and a good meal. Bathrooms were clean too, which is always a plus! And one thing I can say about Big Daddy's is that the food is consistently good. This isn't my first time having a great meal here, and it won't be my last. Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY! Would I order that burger again? BABY, I wouldn't even need to look at the menu! Overall: Great food, great service, cool atmosphere and consistent quality. Definitely worth a stop when you're in Old Orchard Beach!

Food was tasty! Drinks were refreshing! The view was amazing. We have gone back several times!read more

A tempura fried lobster roll? Yes please!…read more I am a Connecticut-style lobster roll guy through and through, so I was skeptical at The Shack's departure from one of the traditional lobster roll styles. If you are a die hard lobster roll purist... or a curmudgeon, then you should maybe skip the fried lobster roll. However, if you don't mind mixing things up and are down for neat experiences, then I would recommend trying it. Between Boston and Maine, my wife and I tried about a dozen lobster rolls on this trip (don't judge! we shared a roll from each of the places we tried lol) and this tempura lobster roll was one of the more enjoyable ones. If we went to Old Orchard Beach again, I would make my wife order her own next time, so I could enjoy the full roll by myself. haha

My family and I ordered Bua Thai through DoorDash and overall, the food was delicious!…read more I had the Rama Chicken with a medium spice level, and it was spot on...just the right amount of heat and a generous portion of tender chicken. My fiancé ordered the Garlic Chicken with mild spice, but his dish came out much spicier than expected. Not sure if there was a mix-up, but it definitely packed more heat than "mild." My future sister-in-law and brother-in-law both got Pad See Ew with chicken; one with no spice and one mild. They both enjoyed it! My future brother-in-law thought it was a little too saucy compared to what he's used to, but my future sister-in-law liked it that way, so it seems to come down to preference. We also shared the Bua Thai Rolls appetizer, which was absolutely delicious.. crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Since this was a DoorDash order, we can't comment on in-person service, but from a takeout standpoint, the food arrived fresh, hot, and tasty. We'll definitely be ordering again when we vacation in the area !

I've ordered from Bua Thai several times over the years, always with good results, but the food I…read moreordered for my birthday last night was the worst Thai food I've ever had. It has to come from Sysco or another food conglomerate, everything tasted like it went from the freezer into the microwave. The worst part were the crab rangoons, which were so sweet that they hurt my teeth. I've never tasted anything so strange, it tasted like cream cheese frosting from a carrot cake. I'll try them again some day, but it will be awhile before I take my chances again. I'll stick with Trader Joe's frozen foods for now, they actually have flavor.

We were originally going to go to another restaurant, Bell Buoy or something or other and they were closed. Their loss! Came to Joseph's By the Sea and the staff were welcoming and hospitable. Sat upstairs outside and had the best dinner ever. Very happy with the bread basket for $4. Tasty and nice to nibble on with a delicious plain butter as well as an olive butter. Then ordered the large portion Caesar salad. Lovely, my boyfriend and I shared it. Ordered the lobster for market price. They were out of the 1 1/4 pound one, but had the 1 3/4 pound one which was a little more expensive, but worth it. It was fresh and quite far for the price at a restaurant. Boyfriend had the "Best of Both Worlds" (not pictured) he eats too fast! 4 ounce filet mignon and 4 ounces of lobster meat. Served with same sides that I had with the lobster dish. Also a chimichurri sauce. It really doesn't need it. Ask for it on the side if you're iffy about it. A great dessert menu, but we were full. I actually asked for more bread and the olive butter to go! Very clean restaurant. Another nice touch is the hand washing station near the bathroom. Thank you, JBTS. Our regards from Washington, DC.

From the Lobster…read moreTacos with crispy wontons, to the Maison pasta loaded with shrimp, scallops, salmon, mussels, sun dried tomatoes, spinach and that garlic herb cream... WHEW! I ordered extra cream sauce. There was a decent amount of seafood too. Chef Dakota makes me want to hop in the car and take that two hour drive JUST for that pasta. It was THAT good! And listen, even the Caesar Salad was top tier. They did not come to play. My Hubby had the Fish & Chips and absolutely loved his meal too. The food was excellent, but the experience was just as good. Service was amazing, the bathrooms were clean, and the inside was CHIC, intimate and romantic. It was the perfect atmosphere for our restaurant date night. Joseph's has that elevated coastal feel without feeling stuffy, and you can tell they take the whole dining experience seriously. They've been serving Old Orchard Beach for decades and have a strong focus on fresh, locally sourced seafood. DO NOT have the disappointment of showing up without a table. MAKE A RESERVATION! Would I drive two hours again for that pasta? ABSOLUTELY.

There's several tables in front so you can enjoy the food right there if you'd rather not get it to go. It's got a really nice feel for how small it is- I think the small white picket fence out front adds a nice touch. I had the $15 lobster roll from the pier the day before and while it got the job done, Johnny Shucks is well worth the extra money for full claws and all around fresh, juicy, hot meat! I also got a glass of wine for $5 and it was a generous pour, washed down the roll perfectly! The clam chowder is flavorful as well, a little on the thinner side but served piping hot. Service was very fast, so you can get back to the beach in no time. Don't pass this one up! @azfitfoodfun

The ambiance sucked. No ac at all and it's been out for weeks supposedly. Way too loud and there's no air flow. There's no flow at all and the sound collects in one area, i couldn't even think it was so damn loud. The wait staff was horrid. Only good service was the hostess.
