We wandered in for lunch today. Friendly service. Tasty food (and they have the "good ice" in their drinks). And an amazing view right on the beach. Exactly what I wanted for lunch in a beach town. read more

Splash Bar & Grill - View from the table - New American Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

We were looking forward to the delicious wild blueberry pancakes we enjoyed last year, but it seems ownership or management may have changed. The pancakes this time were only okay; nowhere near the generous, pile-high stacks we remembered. Also, please keep change on hand for cash payments. And when customers are simply buying a self-serve coffee, a tip shouldn't be expected. We're not sure what shifted, but overall it was a disappointing experience. Breakfast was just "eh". Can't beat the view. read more

Really disappointing breakfast. My food came out burnt to the point that it was basically inedible, and the home fries tasted old and were strangely spicy. I also ordered coffee and was surprised that the only option they had was half-and-half, no milk or non-dairy alternatives at all. For a breakfast place, I would expect the food to be fresh and properly cooked and at least a couple of basic options for coffee. Unfortunately, I left very disappointed and would not return. read more

The Cubano was completely flavorless, the fries were soggy. The chowder was very runny and had a lot of filler. The chicken sandwich has breading that completely fell off before you even bit into it and was a pain to cut. The service was absolutely terrible, our waiter was doing his side work instead of tending to his tables. The environment was nice but that's pretty easy cause it's on the beach. 1/5 don't go here read more

RIP to another great meal. They used to have amazing Huckleberry blueberry pancakes. Well the old chef left and new one started; now more pancakes with far less blueberries and now they're to doughy. The server Ariana was very nice and view is beautiful. Why can't people just leave a good thing alone. read more

August 9 2026 first day of our vacation to ogunquit beach and we went into Splash, we were a little early and there were two women who seemed very irritated that we were there. We were treated very rude. It was so weird and uncomfortable that we actually left. We will not be back. We headed to the rose cove. Service was amazing and also the food. read more

don't leave your wallet there! because they close before sundown and the hotel next to them doesnt have a key

Everything about the place is wonderful, but the food this year has evolved and is so amazing. I had the grilled brat - so delicious. Also the mudslides are top notch! read more

Splash Bar & Grill is RIGHT on the beach, and for that reason alone, they get a five star review. After a mediocre breakfast and poor service at the breakfast restaurant at our hotel, we decided to try someplace else and were excited to find someplace right on the beach in the Splash Cafe! And better still, there wasn't a wait! The food was and service were fine... a step up from the previous day... but our overall experience was fantastic due to location. They have booze as well and I'm still kicking myself for not ordering a Bloody Mary, haha. But if you're looking for a place to eat breakfast in Ogunquit... you have to experience this beachfront location. read more

Lovely server! Had the blueberry pancake breakfast which was delicious! However it comes with a 2 ounce syrup and if you want an additional one it's $4.00! Personally if you're going to charge $19.00 for a pancake breakfast you could spring for another 2 ounce syrup! read more

We had lunch today and it was horrible! Caesar salad was taken off the bill because the waitress realized how bad it was. The lobster salad was terrible. Slimy chewy claws and was charged $38. Would nit recommend. read more

Drinks were delicious and food was melt in your mouth good! Had the Rum Punch and Splash Burger. Our bartender was super friendly and fast. read more

Splash Bar & Grill - Rum punch - New American Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

Gorgeous view of ocean. Wonderful waitress who was very attentive. Fun drinks. Food was fresh.

No gluten free options besides a side of bacon. The bacon was okay. The view is perfect. The servers are usually nice too.

We're staying in the Norsemen and in our second day we wanted to cut down on the driving and just enjoy the beach and ocean after a day of sight seeing. The food was good and what you'd expect from a seashore spot. We had our fill of fried seafood from other places, and just wanted to have something reliable. Service was fabulous, and quick! Next time we'll try the seafood! read more

Location is great, nice view. Food is awful. Ordered fried whole clams that were just batter with clam piece, there wasn't a whole clams in the basket. read more

Some fingers foods right out by the ocean with a beer? Can't go wrong there. View was great. Service was okay. Not a bad place. read more

Great place to eat if you're enjoying a day at the beach, they have live music and good service.

Wonderful view, friendly service and a great breakfast. We had blueberry pancakes, eggs, sausage and homefries. Eggs were perfect over easy and the pancakes were lovely. And the view can't be beat, even on a chilly day in September. Great start to vacation. read more

I never met a restaurant on the maine Sea Coast that I didn't like. Chalk this up to another one. Food was absolutely delicious. The service was impeccable. Our server was walking around with a carafe of coffee permanently attached to her hand and was always there at a moment's notice. read more

Splash Bar & Grill - Ham scramble. Yummy to the 10th power - New American Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

We chose splash as it overlooks the ocean. Rainy day, not overly busy. This is an older, no frills establishment. Ordered whole clam basket- they were breaded more than is my preference and not the sweetness that I like- they were ok. Hubs had a burger it was fine. What made this place special for us, was our server. I believe her name was Shannon. She made us feel like guests in her home- she checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed,, was friendly & personable and even helped us find trolley information. She is a gem read more

I have been going to Splash for easily 25 years as my aunt has owned a cottage in Ogunquit, ME since 1987. It is one of the few spots in Ogunquit with a traditional bar and certainly one of the very few with a view of the ocean. It's very touristy since it sits right on Ogunquit Beach so they seem to never have drink or food specials (at least price wise) because they probably don't have to. I like to go for a beer and maybe a bowl of chowder and look out at the ocean. If you in Ogunquit you need to swing by! read more

Splash Bar & Grill - New American Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

Soggy old oil tasting fries and overpriced hot dogs (though the buns were griddled perfectly). Good choice for being right next to the beach to stave off hangry kids! read more

Whatever you do, don't order from here unless you are starving and just want an overpriced burger or hot dog. My friends and I are visiting for two days and loved our daily beach time. At lunch we were excited to find a restaurant so conveniently located by the beach. We figured the lobster roll was a safe choice as we are in Maine afterall. Sadly we were super disappointed. It was an expensive lobster roll yet was nothing more than a boiled lobster with no sauce served in a hot dog bun. I literally wanted to either throw up or cry. We threw away our meal after a few bites and drove to Perkins cove for some real food at another restaurant instead. read more

I'm between a 3 and a 4 here since the food is basic but decent. We stopped here after a day in the beach to share some appetizers before a walk and dinner. We ordered onion rings, sweet potato fries, and fried pickles. The fried pickles were thinly sliced and battered which I liked as I've had fried pickles which were overly battered and greasy. These ones had just enough batter that the taste of the pickles shone through. The onion rings also had just the right amount of batter so you could actually taste the onion. The sweet potato fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the side. My friend and I also split a pitcher of Belfast Bay Lobster Ale which was $19 but could split four ways so pretty reasonable. I'd visit again if I were really in need of a snack as some of the other customers' fish dishes looked pretty tasty. The decor inside isn't great so I'd try to sit outside and get the beach view if possible. read more

Cute restaurant right on the beach. Great service, great food and even better drinks.

We've been going here for years (like every day of our vacation every year) and we were so happy to find they stayed open after COVID but honestly have no idea what happened when we got our food. We ordered two lobster rolls (and at $51 you want them to be amazing) but they had very little lobster and no mayo on them. When we asked our waiter if we could get some mayo she said it was under the lettuce and sure enough it was. We were shocked. It was the most bizarre lobster rolls we've ever had. We also needed some more mayonnaise as the roll soaked up most of it. The meat on my roll was very chewy and almost undercooked. We don't know what happened. It used to be such a great mid day breach break and now it's really gone down hill. read more

Wow, went here for both breakfast and lunch (it is attached to The Norseman resort). Breakfast was basic eggs and such, no frills but good. But lunch was in another league. I had a clam strip roll that was incredible! Hot, lightly fried clam strips in a buttered grilled roll. Fries were crisp and fresh. For the price, this was a bargain as they were real, fresh clam strips and a heaping portion to boot. Can't wait to go back! read more

Loved the strong mimosa! Plain pancakes were a little bland but I'm with they'd be better with the blueberries! Very filling but delicious. Scrambled eggs were good as well. I highly recommend based on how many people come in and out tourists and residents alike. read more

Delicious fish and chips. The service was tremendous. Even better Rum Punch. I'll definitely be back.

We went to Splash restaurant on our last trip to Ogunquit in 2017. The proximity to the beach was awesome. For our most recent trip, the hours had changed due to COVID. My wife also had to wait in a line fir 20 minutes and another 30 minutes to get food. The fish tacos weren't as good as I remembered from my last trip. Tacos are much better at Rose Cove Cafe. read more

Wow ... we have walked by this place so many times without stopping because it looked like a tourist trap. Usually places that sell soft serve in one window and have plastic tables and chairs with sit down service on the other side aren't worth the gamble. However, one sunny day we wanted to sit and people watch ON the beach and decided to grab lunch here instead. The view from the tables against the rail is great ... you can see the waves and the sand and watch the people walking onto the beach, which is great entertainment. The food was actually damn good! I was surprised. I ordered fried clams and the girl had a salad with salmon. While it wasn't the best fried clam dinner I have ever had ... I have to admit that I enjoyed it and the prices were very, very reasonable. (as in, one of the cheaper places we went to in Ogunquit) The drinks were a bit weak. We had Pina Coladas and after the second one realized that we could keep going at $10 a pop and not catch a buzz after 3 or 4. Also, the drinks weren't frozen ... it's weird to drink a Pina Colada on the beach and have it be lukewarm mix with a few ice cubes in it. My girl has a food allergy, though and the waitress couldn't be more helpful in making sure that her meal was not contaminated. Honestly, this was a place we just spur of the moment decided to stop into and it ended up being one of the most fun meals of our trip. It's kind of 'Jersey Shore-ish' in a blue collar sort of way ... but the casual no-frills atmosphere was fine because it is the only restaurant almost ON the beach. The only thing that would make it better is if it wasn't so dark inside ... even sitting right against the rail, it felt like eating in a garage. Still ... you won't find a better people watching place than this. The waitstaff is overworked but capable and the food is good and the prices can't be beat for a beach town. read more

Its a fun place to stop in for a bite to eat, The food is very basic but decent. Good drinks and nice snacky foods to match Great view !!! read more

Staff was very rude and ignorant. Very overpriced. Will never visit this place again. No friendliness at all.

We only had the steamers here, so I can't comment on anything else. The steamers were so good, we ordered 2 plates! Our server was very attentive and friendly. Great place to people watch on the beach. The drinks are a little overpriced, but being from Boston, I'm used to the prices. read more

Absolutely terrible experience. My friend and I just dined here and really enjoyed the first part of our meal - steamers, cocktails, and a great view. We had a sweet server, who was replaced by a wretched woman midmeal. Our new server copped an attitude from the start. When my friend ordered a second greyhound, she replied "we don't have those." A vodka and grapefruit was fine to order, however. My lobster roll had an overpowering bleach smell. I thought it was just in my head and tried to politely eat it, but my friend could smell it across the table. She asked the server to take it back to the kitchen and get me another. The server huffed off, and returned a few minutes later to throw my same bleach-reeking roll in front of me. She claimed the kitchen had all smelled it and not found anything wrong. (gross, how many noses were in my food?). My friend nicely suggested that maybe some bleach-based cleaning product might have gotten mixed in, and maybe they'd want to check that before serving it to anyone else. The server then stormed off and came back with the manager, who claimed that there were no bleach containing products on site. Umm, gross. My friend and I have both worked in restaurants for years, and I'd hate to see the condition of that kitchen with no bleach! The manager refused to comp the lobster roll because "nothing's wrong." Nice customer service. We mentioned the incident to my friend's dad that night, who's owned a lobster restaurant for thirty years, and he told us that lobster emits a bleachy smell when it's gone bad. ::vomits:: (note: I wrote this review on 9/3/09 but apparently it never posted) read more

Good view. Other than that very low end food. We ate breakfast and were super disappointed. Great waitress but not sure how a restaurant like this can survive with so much competition. Dont waste your money here! read more

There are so many good things about Splash. The location is prime. Right on the beach. I always have lunch here. Nicki, who bartends on Wed-Fri, is awesome and makes great drinks. Plus, she is really nice. Everything I ever ordered there was surprisingly REALLY good for just a little joint. Their tuna is great, very good lobster rolls. I like their Onion Rings, their Fish Sandwich, Steamers...and believe it or not, I had an awesome grilled ham & cheese there also. Not to be missed if you are spending the day on the beach and want a bite to eat or a cocktail! read more

Beautiful views, friendly waitress. Stopped for a frozen drink. Got a strawberry daiquiri...tasted aweful. Not the refreshing drink I was going for. I can't speak for the food as we strictly stopped for a drink. Very disappointing! read more

We've vacationed in Ogunquit every September for many years. Every time we visit we eat lunch at Splash nearly every day. The food is not exceptional but it's good and appropriate for the type of place this is. It's served on paper plates. Mixed drinks are usually pretty good and they usually have some nice local beers on tap. What makes Splash so special is the service and location. The servers, particularly April and Candy (who remember us from year to year!) take such good care of us whenever we're there that all seems right in the world. Seriously, this is how we want to feel when we're on vacation! Sitting at the edge of the ocean, sipping on a nice drink and having some tasty food makes us happy. Could we get better food at one of the restaurants up on Route 1? Who cares? Splash isn't cheap, though of course it depends on what you eat and drink. Somehow lunch always runs us $60-$80. But nobody said happiness was cheap. In fact I remember they said "money can't buy happiness" which I don't even think is true. I don't know what Splash is like during the busy summer months and I don't want to find out. That's why we visit in September. :) read more
