Sorry spinnakers I was a disappointed in your clam strips. Not hot and taste like they are precooked/frozen. Cole slaw is dry and tasteless. Staff was very friendly, nice and helpful. Too many other places to choose from then to settle. read more

Spinnakers - Half pint clam strips, cole slaw - Seafood Near Me - Wells, Maine

Lobster is fresh and that's all the good I can say it's ridiculously overpriced. So much so that I had dinner in kennebunkport had 3 drinks and a lobster dinner and it was cheaper than a lobster roll lunch here. Never will go again. $85 dollars is insane for lunch! read more

They have amazing gluten free fried seafood! I've been twice and both times have gotten the fried clam strips. Fries are absolutely delicious as well. The staff is super friendly and the space to eat both inside and outside is really nice. read more

Spinnakers - Gluten free fried clam strip platter - Seafood Near Me - Wells, Maine

Such a cute place, so clean inside and out. The service was awesome and the employees were so very friendly. Very family friendly. Food was excellent and so fresh. Highly recommend! read more

The young women taking orders, serving and tidying up after customers who use the roadside picnic table are all helpful and charming. However, the food is overpriced. $12 for a basic green salad with maybe three grape tomatoes and four cucumber slices alongside a smattering of greens and a tablespoon of grated carrots The New England House (cater-corner) serves a large garden salad for $8. Go there instead. read more

Super fast service and the lobster roll was packed with fresh lobster. A tiny bit pricey but for the amount of lobster in the roll probably not awful. $35/roll with butter no fries or sides. It is a roll with the lobster nothing else as far as toppings. read more

I use to love Jake's so I gave this place a try. I cant eat seafood but my niece wanted haddock. I got the chicken fingers. They were not good. Definitely came out of the freezer and it tastes it. Fries were good. When it said hand cut I thought they were fresh but they weren't. Onion rings were beer battered and all you could taste was the beer. I wouldnt have gotten them if I knew they were beer battered. So most of my food ended in the trash. My niece liked her haddock but that was it. Her fried ended up in the trash. I did like the blueberry corn bread but it was out of place. The staff was great. Very friendly and sweet. I know I wont be back. I like fresh food not frozen. read more

See all

Okay, I was a big fan of Jake's that used to be at this location, but I went in open minded and wanted to like this place. I was very disappointed. As others have said this place is overpriced for what they are providing. I went there with two others and we ordered clam strips and whole fried clams. Very expensive, and very bland. For what they are charging I would have to compare this place to Bob's Clam Hut in Kittery (Awesome place!!!) where you pay for what you get. These guys cannot even come close for the money. $25 for a fried clam basket with fries and they can't even make their own tartar sauce. It comes with Kens Tartar sauce. The clams had no flavor although the fries were kinda good. Toss the blueberry cornbread, it doesn't belong. read more

Stopped in for our first stop while on vacation for summer 2018 and there was a gasp that it was not Jakes. Decided to stay and check it out. They spruced up the place inside. We had clam rolls , cheeseburger, clam chowder and a large fry to check it out. Everything was great. The same level of quality if not better which was the case for the French Fries which were easily better. Best in the area. Only disappointment was that they no longer sell blueberry pie. That can easily be corrected and I hope will be. Try it , you'll like it if not love it !!!! read more

It one of our favorite places to order take out fish and chips with their hand cut fries, and bring it to the beach down the road. The fish always taste fresh and the fries always tasty. The staff is incredibly friendly and very prompt with filling orders. read more

I stayed very close to Spinnakers for a week. Tried to go several times but they're closed Mondays and Tuesdays and then for several other days a week they close at at 7PM. This seems very early to me, and it prevented us from going there and spending money. Not sure if these are post-labor day hours or what. All I know is, in the past Jake's got a lot of my vacation dollars because they were reliably open til 9pm. On the day we managed to go there, we had the lobster poutine which was very good. Excellent fries, lots of lobster meat and cheese curds. The "gravy" seems to be sort of like lobster bisque. Really good! I wish we had been able to go another time to try more of their food. Maybe next year. read more

Wow. The staff was so great and accommodating they have a great outdoor patio you can sit at that is cleaned and sanitized constantly. We had 4 burgers onion rings and fries. Great spot for lunch. read more

Yes, yes and more yes! Gluten free folks rejoice. GF fried clams and fried haddock, perfectly prepared. Dedicated fryer. IPA GF beer to wash it down. Very friendly service with a caring manager (owner?). We sat in the outdoor patio, in the shade, and savored this awesome find. read more

Great lobster roll, overflowing w/ nice cold Maine lobster, served straight up w/ a side of melted butter, or a surprisingly delicious lemon aioli. The whole belly calms were on point too! Nice big dining room w/ outdoor seating as well. Owners are super friendly and welcoming. Really hope they have great success. We will definitely be back for more anytime we're up that way. read more

This was a great little restaurant, and they had a wonderful selection of fried gluten-free items. Delicious food, warm hospitality. If you're looking for a very good GF clam chowder or fried clams (gluten free or otherwise) be sure to stop in here. read more

Used to be good. Highly overrated. Market price for lobster varies according to the client. Paid $38.00 for a small lobster roll. $30.00 for poutine. Excellent restaurants nearby were very less expensive! read more

Came at dinner time on a Sunday. Wanted to try the lobster roll, but the $35 price tag was a bit too steep for my budget. Settled on the crab cake platter. They were tasty, and the portions were generous. Hubby's burger was huge, and plenty of fries for us both! We had leftovers to take with us. Inside seating was comfortable, very clean. The staff were all smiling and helpful. read more

I originally headed to another seafood place for lunch but alas they were closed. So down the street I drove and downs this great place. The staff was polite pleasant and well informed. The restaurant seating area both inside and out was clean- inside was immaculate! The food was great! I would recommend Spinnakers to anyone seeking seafood in the Wells/Ogunquit area. Stop in, spend some time and appreciate the fast but good food! read more

Spinnakers is everything I could want in a seafood spot. Comfortable, nice, and delicious-- seafood done simply, but done perfectly!

Tried Spinnaker based on recommendation of a lovely lady that recently cared for my aunt. She reported she stayed in Ogunquit and loved the food. Everything was perfect. The place appears to be very popular with the locals so you automatically know the food is good. The place was clean and they had two nice family sized bathrooms with is great when you bring the kiddos. The food is prepared fresh so you may have to wait but it is worth it. I met the owner who was very friendly and welcoming. Whether you order a lobster roll or hot dog you won't be disappointed. The lobster was delicious. I used the butter on my roll however I also used the delicious lemon aioli sauce as a dip for my fries read more

Gluten-free fried seafood!! So delicious! Those in our party who eat gluten enjoyed the gluten version as well. Nice outdoor patio and dog friendly. read more

My favorite crab roll and our go to lunch spot in Ogunquit! We enjoyed Jakes and enjoy Spinnakers just as much. Only downside is that they close without notice sometimes. read more

Very good lobster roll! Loads of tender lobster meat on a buttered roll!!Have choice of 3 dressings, lemon aioli, Cajun spice aioli or warm butter. I chose warm butter, delish!! $22.95 read more

Sarah and crew made our curbside take away order memorable starting with the phone in order process straight through personable interaction at the delivery window, and then as a bonus gave us directions to seaside dining when no outside patio dining with yet available. Sarah Went above and beyond Did I mention the food was tremendous, quantity was impressive and quality was out of this world. read more

Been here a few times and every time have been satisfied. Staff is very nice and helpful, food is quick and decently priced.Every time so far I've gotten the fried clam strip basket and I keep forgetting to try something else because the strips are just frozen, from a bag most likely, definitely not fresh but are good enough to hit the spot ( I prefer fresh). French fries are always really good . read more

Fresh food fast. They are constantly cleaning the dining area and the food is good. Love that they have a takeout window.

This used to be the old Jake's. No idea why they changed the name after all these years. I would not recommend sitting there to eat your food but an absolute must try if you want take out. We love the turkey clubs, blt's, and burgers. Their fries are excellent! I would definitely recommend it as a take out place. read more

Some of the best fried shrimp I've ever had! Baked scallops & onion rings are also my favorites. I only wish they had more baked or grilled options available, along with a wider selection of salads, as the Summer Salad left something to be desired. However, I know most are coming to enjoy the fried seafood anyway (I certainly did!). Easy ordering process in COVID times with the walk up window. read more

I have to start off by saying that I miss Jakes, and only stopped by here because I thought they might be similar. What I loved about Jakes was the fried shrimp dinner. I might add that I only like small popcorn like shrimp (that's my personal like) and these new shrimp are HUGE. not a fan. So over priced for small like portions. Boyfriend got the chicken sandwich and it was very small as well. Whole restaurant looks just like Jakes but IT IS NOT! Huge disappointment. It's hard when you have something to compare too.... Others might like the sea food. read more

As A Wells resident I finally tried Spinnakers. I have to say I was very impressed. Had been to Jakes a few times but was not happy. We had the sea scallops and whole clams and they did not disappoint. I'm not really a big French fry person but they were so tasty. They put Mikes to shame. Very friendly workers and they kept the outside seating impeccably clean and sanitized. Can't wait to go back... A+++++ read more

Extremely friendly staff. Fresh and hot sea food.. nice cold beer need to try the spinnaker beer. Nice touch with blueberry corn bread..

Hot dog Luke warm clams chewy. Not what it's cracked up to be. We won't be back unfortunately there are many better places to go

High quality food and Very accommodating for allergy needs. We love it. Would love some more variety on menu (tacos or sandwiches) but otherwise we are fans read more

This is our go to for seafood takeout. The food is great and the service impeccable! We have been so impressed with the attention to detail when we have placed our orders and the outside seating is clean and organized. Try the fried haddock and lobster roll. You won't be disappointed read more

Everything was excellent! We loved the food and the service was incredible. They made sure to accommodate dietary restriction. Will definitely come back. read more

This had been Jake's seafood... A favorite of mine. Had a clam boat for $30.00. Generous portion and the clams were clean but bland. I've never not finished a clam boat but this time I didn't just not tasty enough. Fries were skin on but also bland. Not sure why the blueberry cake was included... Seems an odd add on. Definitely in the needs work catagory. read more

Absolutely wonderful! Very clean! Great staff! Fabulous gluten free / dairy free food!

We dream of eating here all year long! We would eat every meal there if we could. Everything is cooked fresh and their ability to create delicious gluten free fried seafood is off the charts. Best we have had anywhere! Their burgers I feel are their secret sauce. Most lean towards the seafood, and one day we leaned the other way and wooooooweeeee we were in burger heaven. Simple. Straight forward ingredients and a perfect burger. Hand cut fries always a classy touch. Customer services is wonderful, you feel like family; always greeted w a smile, helpful, kind humans work there. Always clean. Spinnakers we have left for the season and hope to return very soon!!! Your food gave us so much joy during a pandemic. Thank you for all you have given to the community. (Sorry took no photos due to the drool coming from my mouth and the heavenly escape the food provided, nothing left to capture!) - Ohio! read more

This restaurant was amazing ! There were so many items on the menu . My personal favorite were the scallops they were delicious. The lobster rolls were the most over stuffed rolls I have ever seen the lobster meat was fresh,sweet and delicious. The restaurant is adorable inside and out and very clean . There is a nice sitting area and outside sitting and great ice cream flavors. We will definitely be back . read more

Stopped here by chance for lunch. My husband had the haddock basket and I had a burger and onion rings. The haddock was a very large portion (yes, ~$18 but much larger than I've seen at other places). My burger was good, fresh produce and not greasy. I really liked the beer battered onion rings - they had great flavor. The staff were nice and the place was very clean. We sat outside and they even had staff coming by a few times while we were there to clean the tables. read more
