Chilaquiles
Charles L.

We had a great breakfast here! Our family stopped by on our summer vacation. We lined up, ordered up the counter, sat down. The food came right away. We had a delicious avocado on toast, a really nice omelette with fresh eggs, and a delicious Chilaquiles with an incredible Salsa Roja. Good service, clean and bright, fairly crowded in the morning.

A quaint beach side restaurant in the heart of Old Orchard Beach. The facility is well lit, beachy bright, and welcoming. The staff was outgoing with explaining what was available and how it was prepared. The food was freshly made and delicious. The food...oh the food.... Where do I start?!! The French Toast was to die for! Perfectly cooked, flavored amazing with a touch of vanilla, and sweetness. It doesn't get much better than this.... It's like they sprinkled this delightful entree was dipped in the happy teas of a unicorn and hit with a coat of fairy dust! The American breakfast perfectly cooked and seasoned amazingly. The eggs (over medium) bleed the nectar of god when they were pricked and tasted amazing when toasted into the home fries!! 10/10!! Make the stop to Paloma's if you make it to OPB!!!

The Chilaquiles. I added shredded chicken, an extra egg, a side of hash browns and a Cold Brew coffee.

Good Stuff. Brunch menu. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Good service and tasty stuff!

Avocado mash & salmon & pears on sourdough toast.

Enjoyed not one but two breakfasts here! Loved the Nutella and berries pancakes the first day - so fluffy and good! Then the avocado mash & salmon toast the next day, with a pancake on the side. The toast includes thin slices of pear for a perfect combo of savory & sweet. Don't sleep on the fresh-squeezed mandarin juice - it's truly fresh-squeezed & delicious! Service was wonderful, too, even when busy.

Food was amazing! Service was good, beautifully decorated. Me and my boyfriend are tourists for the weekend but glad we ended up here !

We went out in search of breakfast this place had plenty of open seating, guess we know why. First off let me say when I am on vacation in a vacation town I want to be pampered and waited on. Not at this place. Order at the counter, pour your own coffee and refills. Food was pretty much normal and greasy, nothing really to write home to mom about. Kind of bland, but hey you will not have to wait to get seated so there is that.

Came in 30 minutes to close, restaurants close early here on Mondays and in off season. Make sure…read moreyou check the hours for the restaurants close by. 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.

Listen... Joseph's by the Sea was AMAZING! 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.

My husband and I split an order of hush puppies and the risotto with lobster, scallops and shrimp!…read more Out of this world delicious! Very friendly staff!

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!

Barely present staff. 90 minutes for food with no update. Parts of the order missing. Mediocre food…read morewhen we got it. This is a seat yourself place so good luck getting anyone's attention. When we finally did, it was almost 90 minutes before our food came. We got an appetizer but were never offered extra plates or a "how's it going" or refills until the food arrived. The waitress left as fast as she could. The drink order was messed up, and we were MINUTES AWAY from putting $20 on the table and leaving. When the food did arrive, part of the order was missing because "it went to someone else." WTF? Also, as an insult to injury, the menu has items listed as gluten free. We have a symptomatic celiac with us and when we mention one person needed to be gluten free the waitress kinda said "uh ok" which wasn't confidence inspiring. And clearly there is cross contact because our family member doesn't feel good after ordering simple nachos (marked GF). Look, restaurants are hard, I know. But maybe this place used to be good? Why was it so packed? The food that we did end up getting was mediocre, like it all came from US Foods or Sysco. Other than the lobster presumably. But everything was your basic "throw it in a fryer" type stuff you get anywhere else. I haven't left a zero percent tip in 20 years, but tonight, they earned it.

To much money. Lobster roll $46.00 higher than New York City prices!!…read more Poor service very got my wine!! Up change of $5.00 for salad was not told for a few pieces of lettuce and two cherry tomato. So little lobster it was a joke. Fish tacos were all vegetables. no water view. Paper plates. Must be making a lot of money for the worst place I ever ate in Maine

The Caprese appetizer was insanely good. The haddock fingers were excellent. The ambiance is what pushes it over the top.

There's something telling about a place the moment you walk in, and here, it isn't subtle. You're…read moremet with the lingering scent of beer soaked into the floor from nights that were clearly busier than anyone could properly manage. Now, most people would interpret that as neglect. But that's not quite right. It's evidence. Evidence that this is a place that has been tested, repeatedly, and continues to operate under pressure. And strangely enough, that inspires a certain confidence. You know, almost immediately, the drinks are going to be done properly. I ordered something simple. chicken fingers with buffalo sauce and bleu cheese. Nothing remarkable, and that's precisely the point. They weren't trying to reinvent anything. They were just... competent. And competence, especially in an environment that borders on chaos, is not trivial. It's reliability. It's order, holding its ground. The service reflected that same tension. Reese, the bartender, was clearly under strain. busy to the point where most people would start to fracture, but she didn't. She held the line. And if you've spent enough time in this industry, you know that's not easy to do. There's something almost admirable about watching someone maintain composure when everything around them is loud, demanding, and slightly out of control. And that's really the essence of the place. It's loud... almost aggressively so. Packed. Borderline unruly. At one point, there was a couple engaged in what was clearly a volatile argument... infidelity, perhaps? but the noise swallowed the details. It didn't matter. The specifics were irrelevant. What you were witnessing was raw human behavior, unfiltered, playing out in real time. And oddly enough, it fit perfectly. This is not a place for quiet reflection or carefully structured conversation. It's a place where order and chaos collide and neither one fully wins. But if you're the kind of person who can tolerate that, or even enjoy it... there's something undeniably compelling about it. If you want quiet, look elsewhere. But if you're willing to step into something louder, messier, and far more alive, then this place offers exactly that. It's not refined. It's not restrained. It's something closer to a modern day bacchanal. And for better or worse, that's the point.
