An insult to Maine! Chef careless. Â Trying to sell a 6oz lobster tail for 1lb. Â If you are a seafood expert, you will know a pound lobster tail when you see one! Â Lobster bisque watery; coleslaw days old, calamari fried with freezer burn, .microwaved greasy-garlic rolls.bread old.... A total shame....seems chef stopped caring.
Review Source:Went for lunch after my bike ride. Ordered their lunch platter. Tried just 4 pieces of the fried stuff, paid the bill then left. I thought you can eat anything when you're starving. Not this time. Not coming back.
Gave it 1 star coz the place really looks like a seafood restaurant. Wish I could just make my own food and eat inside.
confused
the lobster and belly (Ipswich) clams were great ( and cheap); excellent clam chowder!
the "kids" thought the hamburger and the quesadilla were "not tasty"
service was very good by waitress
cook was sneaky - asked not to put anything on burger , he did but then wiped it off and hoped daughter would not taste; we sent it back
would we go back?, probably but for the Maine seafood specials only
Negative 1 star rating. Fort Myers most shiteous seafood restaurant.
Awhile back my husband and I we're contemplating what to do for Valentines day, 16 years of marriage and 3 kids later. Hey I know.... what about the little seafood spot down the road? Great idea!
NOT.
Walked into this place that claims to be Maine's Best, by the way I'm from New England. Chaos, maybe 12 tables seated with 4 waitresses...really! Our waitress was late in coming, and when she did show up, she was so nervous, very jumpy, she made my nerves go immediately, not what you want in a dining experience, even if you go to Wendy's.
Placed an appetizer order ahi tuna. One of my favorites. A train wreck of an appetizer was placed on our table. An obviously frozen, vac sealed piece of tuna was on the plate, in whole. Served with LaChoy, are you kidding me, LA' CHOY sauce! Not to mention the wasabi was a watered down plop pile.
Dinner............................if you made it this far. Just go somewhere else. If you don't, myself and the rest oft the reviewers on this page reserve the right to say, I told you so.
Run from this one!
crushingly disappointing. Â If you are going to call a place "Maine's Best Seafood" your lobster roll shouldn't be 50% fake KRAB!!! Â Its as if the owner thinks he/she is going to sneak it by you. Â If you couldn't tell the difference you'd probably be at Red Lobster anyways.
Run for the non-existent hills!!
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwe... the WORST
This is the WORST place I've eaten, seafood or not. The fish (taste & texture) like freezer burn, the baked sweet potato was the size of a gold ball, and wait staff... well you had to WAIT for the wait staff. And it's not inexpensive.
With so many options for seafood, go elsewhere! Or save $18 bucks and get a $2 fish fillet at Mickey D's, it's more tasty and a more pleasing experience. Maine's is a poor attampt to mimic a New England lobster shack with a casual motif, but has expensive and lousy food. I was fooled once, never to return!
I love this place. Â They've got huge tanks in the back room where they keep a huge amount of lobsters. Â If you ask, you can take a tour. Â
The place, way back in the day, used to be a super cheap place to get lobster, clams, etc. Â Now, they're not as cheap, but this place is still the cheapest place around. Â It's seriously out of the way, but it's usually worth it. Â
They don't do anything fancy, and unless you like seafood, don't bother coming here. Â But they do the classics to perfection, steamed or broiled lobster. Â Littleneck clams. Â baked potatoes.
They've even got a 3 lb lobster for like $30, and I've actually come close to finishing it the one time a friend insisted on ordering it for me.....
It's a fun place. Â Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty because seafood is flying everywhere, and you'll be up to your elbows in lobster juice, assuming you know how to eat one.
It's a fun place.
