You order and pay for your food at the front register, and then they bring everything out for you, and bus the tables for you at the end. We had the 6 ounce hot lobster roll with butter, which was excellent but pricey. The service is extremely friendly and solicitous.

The ambience is quite brilliant. That dozens of picnic tables are long lined up on a pier over an inlet where the ocean tide runs far in and out. The restaurant is known for its lobster, clams, oysters, mussels, chowder, and side dishes. One of us got fish and chips. Two of us each had a dozen oysters. One got a mussels. We got corn on the cob, coleslaw, and fries as side dishes. when we arrived, the tide had just started moving out down the river. By the time we were done eating, the tide was a good 4 feet lower, and that was fun to watch. most of the order takers and servers appear to be high school and college aged. Their moods or light and cheery. The food was all excellent. The price is were reasonable, for example, each medium sized shocked oyster was two dollars on the half shell come on a bed of ice. Really, the only issue we had was that our side dishes were not delivered to our table until we reminded one of the servers. And that was no big deal. One of the great things about this place is that BYOB is encouraged, and many people brought a small cooler of beer or chilled wine. We brought plenty of local beers and a couple of cans of premixed cocktails. We all agreed that the experience was pretty amazing personally because none of us really knew how to crack open a lobster properly and get all of the meat, so we watched other local people go through their lobster routine. This is not a dress up kind of place. It was more of a wonderful hole in the wall. I would go back again in a heartbeat.

I really wanted to love this place, but I didn't…read more The ambiance is so cool, and the service is great. Employees were lovely and everything was clean and beautiful. I love the byob vibe, big bench tables, and sitting on the water to enjoy some local seafood. But the food just didn't hit the mark for me. I got a lobster roll, but was really underwhelmed. It came on a cold, untoasted/buttered hamburger bun straight from a bag. The lobster tasted ok, but the whole emsemble was very dry and lacked flavor. Friends who got the whole lobster loved it, and I sampled a friend's coconut shrimp and it was divine. Fries and corn were good, and the clam chowder wasn't bad either! I guess I just ordered the wrong menu item, but considering how much it cost, and that they move so many of them, this was pretty disappointing.

Got here on a Monday afternoon at about 3PM; it was not busy at that time (they close at 4PM). Despite this, parking spots were limited. The interior was quaint. Sat at the patio area. Got the house special which was regular lobster roll and a cup of clam chowder. Service was good. Before ordering the house special, they offered to a sample of the chowder. The chowder is not the usual creamy style but it was flavorful. The lobster roll was good. It was fresh and was served on toasted buttered roll with lettuce, pickle, and chips. For dessert, the blueberry pie was good too. It went well with the ice cream. Would give this a 4/5. Though the food was good, it was not cheap.

There are almost panoramic views of the water and they catch lobsters right on the own dock. I would return for the ambiance and service, but not necessarily the food. We ordered a poke bowl and a bowl of clam chowder. The poke bowl was very fresh and had lots of fish and veggies, which were tasty. I really like that they added seaweed salad. The only thing is that it was VERY salty due to an excess of sauce. Next time I would order the sauce on the side. Our clam chowder was average, and tasted more like potato soup than actual clam chowder. I definitely wish they included more clam chunks as well. Overall the menu was pretty basic and had nothing beyond what every New England seafood restaurant has to offer, with food quality slightly below average.

This food truck serves beachgoers as well as hotel guests. The onsite parking is very limited and tight. There are picnic tables in front of the food truck and decent view of the ocean. While driving along the coast, I stopped by The Wharf 24 for lunch. I ordered the Wharf and Turf ($24) which was 1 lobster taco, 1 carne asada taco, tortilla chips & salsa and cold drink (can of Diet Coke). The lobster taco had tender pieces of cold lobster meat, carrot slaw, & crema dressing on a soft blue corn tortilla. The carne asada taco had seasoned pieces of grilled steak, cotja cheese, onions, cilantro, crema sauce on a soft blue corn tortilla. The tortilla chips were crunchy and the chipotle salsa was medium spicy. With the Diet Coke to wash things down, it was a solid good lunch near the beach.

Perfect spot to eat seafood and enjoy the sights of the Nuble Lighthouse!…read more Lucky I was able to visit before they closed for the season. 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.

Stopped by on our way through town…read more The service was good and the view was nice, but the food was mediocre at best. The lobster bisque was the worse we ever had. Not sure why they have a lightly fried option. Lightly fried equals fully fried. Don't be fooled. The lightly fried chicken tenders were very dark. The lightly fried fish was standardly fried. The clam chowder was ok, but we've had much better. Don't fall for the tourist trap.

My sister, who lives in Wells, sent us here on our first day. My Mom really wanted some chowder…read more Initial Service was super fast. We ordered Mozarella sticks that were pretty good. My Mom ordered a cup of chowder, thank goodness she didn't order the bowl because she said it was absolutely awful. To be fair, their menu does explain how theirs is different from typical chowder. My Mom said it was really watery and had no flavor. Luckily she also ordered some shrimp, whichi took a while to come out but were great. I ordered the chicken breast plain sandwich with no tomatoes, fried, and a side Caesar salad with blue cheese dressing. They brought it out with the tomato, good thing I am not allergic to tomatoes. The sandwich was great, tons of chicken and it wasn't too dry. I learned about "buckie" rolls and that they are soft and break easily. I ended up eating my chicken with a fork!! I needed more dressing and the server didn't bring in a timely fashion, the lettuce being wilted by the time she brought it. The pickle on the plate was good, but the fries were just OK. We were able to get a window seat in the bar, which made for a nice start to our Maine vacation. I would come here again, and would probably order the same thing. My mom, however, would probably not!!
