They serve various size of lobsters as well as cook them for you. However they do not provide place to eat or utensils so they function more as a market than a restaurant. They have sort of a parking lot where you can park. There are few works on the back hanging around and 2 younger staff that take care of orders. Lobster has quite few size options and some explanations for terms they use. We weren't sure what to get but figure we wanted larger size lobsters. SLX which is the largest ones were $14 per pound. They can also let you pick them live as well but we chose 2 lb ones. They charge $1.5 to boil but it's a-lot of work to boil properly so it's worth it. We waited about 20-25minutes or so and they also chilled it so that we can take it home to eat. Luckily we had ice box with some ice packs so it kept the lobster fresh until getting home. Once we got home we opened the bag to eat the lobster. It's a huge lobster with large claws. We got a large bowl and separate plate to eat. It was a massive task to crack the claws as one of the claw was huge and very tough. We ended up using a hammer and dull knife to crack them open. The meat was tender and sweet. One of the best maine lobster we had. Overall the place provides fresh maine lobster for good price. Only issue is that they don't serve it so you will need to plan to take it home and have tools to crack them open. They also only take cash. If i were to come back i would give them a call a head of time to have the lobster prepared to go and pick them up which seems to be what other people were doing.

Full bar and mocktails. And apps to start us off. Just sit and enjoy the view. Yes you are in the street to occasionally a big truck goes by but with the right company who cares. You see the ocean and smell the salt air. Menu is good. Vegan options and of course seafood. It's up there on price both worth it. Indoor and outdoor seating and I believe they bought the building next door with a balcony area but not 100% sure. The food was great and a lot on the plate. The tacos only come with tacos. No fries or rice or side something. Was a bit disappointed but in the end it was ok. Large portions of fish and chips. And did I mention the view. Street parking is available but can be a challenge. Do you know how to parallel park? You might need to park down the road a bit and walk but you can't go wrong with a walk on the beach before or after your meal.

If you're looking for a good drink with great views, Stones Throw won't disappoint. They have a…read morerooftop bar (open Friday evenings and all day on Saturday/Sunday), it's just located - quite discreetly - next door to the restaurant itself. The same food and drink is served there, but you'll need to communicate that with the host at the restaurant (there was some pushback from the rooftop bar staff when we came about them not being able to seat us because the host needed to make that decision and then tell them; whereas the host at the restaurant told us to just go on over). + The drink I had was good: I got a blackberry sour that was refreshing. If we had had more time, I would have also tried the painkillah' with a rum floater. And, honestly, the mocktails sounded great too! Also, their glassware is lovvvveeellly, make sure you pay attention to that! + They've got vegan options: While we didn't order food, I would have loved to have tried the vegan "crabby" cakes with cilantro aioli! -/+ The views are not unbroken: while you'll be able to take in panoramic views of the ocean, they're disrupted by an abundance of black power lines (this is not true if you're sitting in the restaurant, but you will have loads of people lingering on the sidewalk next to you waiting to be seated). Expect it to be VERY busy in the summer! I see myself returning here when it's a wee bit quieter.

I was a little hesitant to eat here as the reviews are all over the place. But my relative picked…read moreit so we had lunch here. We ate upstairs for the great view of the beach and the ocean. They had a lunch special which included a lobster and corn on the Cobb for $25. I thought this was very reasonable. The lobster was soft shell so it was very easy to break apart. I thought the lobster tasted great. Overall, a good meal at a very reasonable price.

Best to make a reservation. . .sometimes they may close early if it's not too busy. Amazing host and waitresses on staff. . .everyone was friendly. Could tell there were a lot of locals dining based on the table conversations. There were even some playing cards at the bar. Clam chowder is a must! Ordered the baked fish and scallops with crumbly topping I couldn't finish because the fish portion was so big. Wish they did half sizes so I could make room for desert. Price difference between small plates and regular plates makes you want to order the regular plate. Ordered their version of Long Island iced tea that tasted watered down. Would definitely eat hear again and ask for a tub of chowdah.

The clam chowder was ok, but we've had much better. Don't fall for the tourist trap.

We have event driven from New Hampshire to Kittery wioth th expressed purpose of eating fresh seaford. Unfortunately, during our last two visits, the food quality has significantly declined. While we initially hoped the first instance was just an isolated off-night, our experience last evening confirmed that the quality is no longer what we have accustomed ourselves to over the decades. Regrettably, given the cost of dining out and the importance of food quality, we will no longer be including Bob's in our travel plans. We are truly sorry to make this decision after so many years of loyal patronage.

When it was finally our turn to enter the establishment, we were directed right to the counter to place our order. I wasn't quite ready as I was expecting table service, but I can roll with it... just felt a little awkward having to scan the menu so quickly. It was a bit odd to see 5 vacant tables when the line was 15 people out the door, but okay... again, they must have a system. Order came out shortly, no issues. Food was great! Deducted 1 Star because the bathroom was pretty sub par and didn't have a mirror. Great place to take a break and take in some local seafood in Perkins Cove.

The lobster role was underwhelming, but maybe not their fault because if you wait in a long line you expect over the top taste.
