They need to bring back the yellow awnings . The gray bring down the whole town center. Stopped in for appetizers. Had the chicken spring rolls. Excellent. Very fun atmosphere. Didn't like the drinks...very strong. But based on the spring rolls looking forward to returning for a meal. read more

Good food and great bartender, Marissa , made a perfect afternoon at the downstairs bar!!

Enjoyed the pizza and cocktails. Will return when we visit Ogunquit again. Service was good.

We happened upon this place during a family trip in early December. The bartender was warm and welcoming and the atmosphere was divine. Had a drink while waiting for dinner, checked out the piano bar which was legit and hopping, and sat for dinner earlier than quoted! The food was amazing, stellar service, and super fun vibe! I would say this is a must go to place, especially if the piano bar is open! read more

Had a surprise 50th for my wife at the Tiki bar on Sunday. I cannot say enough about the staff at The Front Porch. They are amazing! When ordering the food, they were very helpful and made great suggestions- everyone raved about how good it was. Bartenders were fabulous! Thank you Scottie and staff for making a fun and memorable event! Dianna & Erica read more

Drank here only. Service by the harried servers upstairs was very good. Drinks were reasonable, a bit watered down if a mixed drink. Generally pretty loud after 8 pm, entertainment is variable according to the pianist playing. Generally an amiable crowd, some dancing. Definitely a true Ogunquit landmark. Note - for those who have orthopedic issues, the piano is on the second floor about 20 steps to navigate. Notably, a security person escorts folks down the stairs, a nice and caring touch. Having recovered from my recent knee replacement, it was an unexpected, comforting gesture. read more

What a fun place! Whether you want a chill vibe in the dining room, a fun bar vibe in the lounge, or an incredible musical experience in the piano bar - TFP has it all! They just launched a new delicious menu - try the spinach artichoke dip or one of the flatbreads. And the service couldn't be better - the waiters and bartenders are the absolute best! read more

Absolutely delicious. The meal was excellent. Nothing better than Maine lobster! The staff was friendly and everything was fresh and flavorful! read more

Came here for dinner. The host wrote down our number incorrectly. We didn't realize until we followed up after our "availability time". We spoke with Chris (a host) was INCREDIBLY rude and admitted they made a mistake and said we had to now wait after they "already called us". Chris the entire time defensive, unprofessional and didn't own up to THEIR mistake. It honestly set the stage for an awful experience. I have nothing positive to say as I think the entrance of a restaurant sets the stage for the ENTIRE EXPERIENCE. read more

Fun place! Great ambiance and service. Must place to stop in Ogunquit. Upstairs bar and piano bar is busy. Downstairs quiet bar with great service. read more

This is a nice cozy spot with upstairs entertainment. The wait staff is very good. The food was excellent. I ordered the fried haddock which was gluten-free and nicely done not too greasy. The fish was nice and fresh. I had a side order of green beans that were yummy. read more

Great food and ambiance and the piano bar is much fun! Cocktails are also worth a stop!

Love the Front Porch! Upstairs is so much fun! Food and music! However this last Saturday early the music was loud and the singer was not great. We were in the back and it was only after 20 minutes that we realized it was a female singer. She is adorable but no voice. She does get the room singing. Also it is no longer a "gay" bar which is a wonderful thing. I know it is a mixed review but I think they can step up the talent. read more

This place is perfect for a quick bite, a full sit down dinner, or drinks upstairs at the piano bar. The seasonal salads and fried chicken sandwich are a must but if you go here and don't get the double fried chicken wings you are missing out. The drinks are strong and staff is friendly, don't visit Ogunquit without stopping here. read more

Even though the food is very average here, I'm giving this place a three mostly based on service. First of all, we were told over the phone that there'd be a table for our party of 8 at 8:30, but to try to come early. We ended up waiting 20 minutes for a table which can be a bit of a disappointment to begin. Finally we were seated, but outside, so we couldn't even enjoy the piano playing, which is what this place is famous for. And while the piano was played, it was accompanied by sub par vocals that we basically just raised our eyebrows at the whole meal but also f*cking loved, because the dude playing was just so spirited!!! And we LOVED our server Matt - he was attentive, helpful, and knew what the fuck was UPPPPP. Do you see how this review leaves me confused? Because there were some things I loved about this place, but other things I just didn't. As for the drinks, Matt tooootally caught our drift, so when some of us requested less simple syrup in our drinks and spicy twists on cocktails, he was like sure, sure, sure, I've got you, of course. Also love that this place is stocked with Casamgios repesado tequila. Niiiiice. I got pretty drunk from my drinks (2, jic you were wondering, because Matt hooked me up - even referring to me as "Casamigos") and ended up enjoying the evening with my best friend. Also, V and Justin wanted Tito's soda with less soda more Tito's, and Matt made sure the bartender came through. The food though, was just very average. My poke bowl was good! It just tasted like a very average poke bowl. But I did like that it included sushi rice rather than regular rice. I ordered the tuna add on, as suggested by Matt, and it was weird because I think this seared tuna was seared for too long. I want to taste seared tuna as if it's mostly raw, but just has a nice little crust. This tuna was thicker and not necessarily treated the way Gordon Ramsay would treat seared tuna. The apps - bang bang shrimp - less bang more lettuce. They pack these babies up on top of a big bed of shredded stuff, so you think there is absolutely so much bang bang to be had, but really there isn't. The calamari was good but I don't get the shaved Parmesan cheese thing. It's almost like they just assumed we'd be irked by the vocals of the piano player by this point and in need of something happy, like cheese. Cheese makes everyone happy, but it doesn't go with calamari. I liked the spicy mayo dip it came with though. The Shishito peppers were undercooked. Nick got a few crunchies, and Sash got some spicies, even though Shishitos really aren't supposed to be spicy. I didn't even try the sauce it came with because I was basically discouraged by my table mates. The wings were actually pretty good, but not many came on the plate and I got a fatty one which I hate - also mostly drumsticks instead of wings (Sasha calls them flats) and I'm less enthused about drumsticks mostly because of the fatty areas near the head that I'm not interested in noshing on. So be it, this is the place for a fun night with friends but maybe not a gourmet, farm to table meal. On to Portland for that! read more

What's not to like? Great people, great music and awesome food!! You can't get better people and ambiance

We went here during quarantine takeout but it was awesome! Matt and John were both super friendly, great about wearing their masks/gloves and staying far away and being as contact free as possible. The drink I had-the birdcage was SO good! It was refreshing but you could still taste the vodka -hate when I have to question if their is booze in a drink and I didn't here while it was still super tasty! We also got the bang bang shrimp which was somewhat vanilla-y but in a really good way! Lots of shrimp for the price and really good. read more

What a fun place!! The pianists are amazing!! Drinks are a little overpriced, in my opinion: We paid $65 for 5 drinks, which were basic cocktails. The apps are DELICIOUS! Again, a little overpriced, especially for the amount you get. I think it was $10 for a small portion of basic sweet potato fries. Their mushroom app only has 5 baby Bella mushrooms stuff with something. YUM!! But again, a little overpriced for my taste. read more

Steaks here are ok. For the price it seems like you're more paying the extra to eat a steak in a tourist town. The quality wasn't bad I just wasn't like oh wow this is so good or anything. The curds were phenomenal. Thoroughly enjoyed those. Everyone enjoyed their drinks. The frozen ones were quite good as well. read more

This place has a great ambience with very accommodating and friendly service. I ordered the pan seared salmon and my husband ordered the short ribs with tomato sauce. The servers allowed us to enjoy a couple glasses of wine and sangria while anticipation built for our scrumptious meal. It was so good so worth the wait! read more

Nice place for drinks and dinner. We mainly came here for drinks and an appetizer. They have upper and lower seating; they usually have events/live music on the upper level. There's a bar upstairs as well. No parking as such around the restaurant. Got the bourbon and curaçao drink which wasn't that great although the burning up drink was spicy and good. Also got the margherita flat bread which was alright, didn't like the crust very much. Overall good place to stop by in Ogunquit. We happened to hear the music upstairs and stopped by for a bit, she was actually quite good and they have a very very small dance floor in front of the stage. read more

This is a mix review. We are a large group (11) and they were able to seat us at two tables near each other 7/4 with different servers. I was at the larger table. The staff was friendly and provided us with what we needed. The menu options were nice and everyone was able to find something they liked. Even the drinks were a hit. We were seated about 6:15 and our show was at 8:00 so no problem. The larger table noticed the other table already had bread. They had ordered so we we followed suit. And enjoyed our conversation and I bounced from table to table. Well only turned around. So the food arrives at the large table and we start eating. Food was very good though the plate choices for some of the food was interesting. A small sales in a narrow piece of slate was odd and slippery. Anyway we asked for our check knowing we would need to go soon after eating. That's when we realized the table of 4 was still waiting for their food. The manager arrived his first response was you should have told someone you had a show to go to. Which my friend shared the larger table and two tables around them ordered afterwards and were almost finished eating. Finally the food arrived and the manger took just $15 off the total bill to divide amongst the four at the table. Three of the four had the special and one had pasta. The larger group left to hold seats and the rest joined about 15 mins later. Not a great customer experience. Which out shadowed the food and start of our evening. read more

We only came for the piano bar on a saturday night, but we had a great time! The piano player was really good and the crowd was super enthusiastic.

What happened to this restaurant?! We were not finished with our appetizer and the entrees arrived! We ordered a bottle of Rose and it was warm!! This was our go to restaurant for so many years and we left so disappointed to tonight. and it was my birthday 7-22. read more

Had a mediocre meal, the waitress was friendly, but I was asked by the manager as I was still having my beverage if I was done because she had other guests waiting. I was shoved into the corner seat out of the way, I have been coming here for years and this is the first time I've experienced this from here. I'll make sure people know that the revenue is more important than the customer. very rude manager. read more

We had a great time at The Front Porch last night. Went there for after dinner drinks and singing and it didn't disappoint. We were lucky to score a table and I'm glad for that because it was a busy place. Our waitress was fabulous and very attentive. The cocktails were right on point. I had their signature frozen cosmo and the expresso martini, both hit the spot. We liked that the piano players switched at 9, some of the patriotic and gospel songs were great but dropped the energy of the room. A new pianist came on and played a lot of great covers and was able to save the crowd. Ordered the blueberry pie for my friends birthday and the waitress stayed and sang with us. The kitchen is open late, so I ordered some nachos pretty late and they were tasty. Big portion easily shared with the whole table. Overall this was a great experience. read more

Ate there last night, but too tired and full to review. We started with the blueberry goat cheese. Very blueberry in a way that if you like blueberries you will enjoy (we did). Came with not enough pieces of bread for the amount of cheese, but our waitress noted we were almost out and offered to bring more. I had the baked haddock. What I expected to be a potato purée accompanying was more of heavy cream sauce. It was very good, but very rich. Haddock itself was a nice piece of fish, well cooked, but the star of the plate was the 6(!) large, shrimp *stuffed* ravioli that accompanied. With the cream sauce they were incredible. I think the raviolis can be added to any meal. DO IT! My wife had the ban mi flatbread which I sampled. Very nice flavor and good size as an entree. With the exception of the jalapeños having a bit too much kick for her and needing to be picked out, it was perfect. Other tips: if you are driving, drop a member of your party off to get on the wait list. Also, if you can't find parking on street or near the bank, there is a private lot that was charging a flat $10 till 9pm around the corner on beach a 5 minute walk away. read more

Sorry, we can't say if the food or the beverage was worth the pretentious greeting my wife and I received from the doorman/bouncer last night because we left. We had thought we could grab a post dinner night cap there however when we approached this employee we were greeted with "can I help you?" There was no "welcome, two for dinner?" Or maybe "would you like a seat at the bar?", nope. The "can I help you" phrase made us feel like we were somewhere we didn't belong and needed directions or maybe we just didn't look the patrons he would've picked to sit and enjoy what they may of had to offer. Unfortunately for The Front Porch, more aptly named "The Phony Porch" they will never see a penny of our discretionary spend. Save the embarrassment and walk on by pick another porch, there are many to choose from. read more

Stay far away. The upstairs is the live music section and we attempted to get a drink but there was no room which is fine but staff should not let more people up if there's nowhere to go. The real reason I'm writing this is that the person who "runs" the upstairs security of front porch literally assaulted my partner. There is a stairwell with apparently a rules system that is beyond me but only one side is to go up and one side is to go down. The "bouncer" is blocking the side to go down so when we inevitably have to leave we try to use the other path since he's blocking the appropriate one and he SHOVES his arm into my partners chest saying hold up like we're stealing or robbing the place. Rude and absolutely absurd. Do better. read more

This is a review of the Front Porch Piano Bar which is upstairs over the restaurant. This place SUCKS. I have been dragged here with friends for drinks after a day at the beach for years. When you get inside the place is FREEZING as all the AC"s are blowing snow. Inside all the old gay men are screaming (opps I meant singing) old show tunes over a electronic piano. Its so loud in there I nearly have a freak out. They used to smoke in there which made the torture far worse. The decor? OMG it has not been redecorated in like 50 years. I always manage to escape to the Main St Bar across the street for some salvation. read more

The Front Porch has an elegant yet casual vibe about it. The restaurant has two floors - downstairs to the left is a bar area and to the right is a lovely dining room, with a beautiful tree decorated in white lights. Upstairs you will find the piano bar with additional dining seating. The food at The Front Porch is absolutely delicious! From the complimentary warm bread and soft butter to the entrees, everything was perfect. We started our meal with the chicken spring rolls. They were a nice size spring roll, with a heaping portion of chicken and veggies which were held together with a thick, breaded wrap. I had the seasonal flatbread special, which was a garlic chive aioli, prosciutto, asparagus, and cheeses. The asparagus was super fresh and really made the flatbread pop with flavor. My husband ordered the $15.00 mac and cheese, and it was totally worth it! It was unlike any other traditional mac and cheese you've ever had. It was unique with a smokey, campfire flavor with every bite. He wouldn't stop raving about it! Our waitress was very friendly and even recommended the amazing mac and cheese. We are sure glad she did! I'd recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. Just an FYI - they don't have any high chairs if you need one. read more

Upstairs bar - older man with semi glassss is an asshole. Rude. I just bought a $15 drink plus tip. I stepped aside to let others order - no other place for me to stand.
