Service with a smile; we really enjoy the scallops, zuchini, sweet potato fries and fried mushrooms. Sister is on a diet; and says the baked scallops dinner and baked haddock dinner were good as well. Nothing fancy - picnic tables, but turnover is great and the food is tasty.

Based on the reviews, we scheduled this into our plans for dinner en route to Freeport, Maine. The atmosphere is non existent. This is a clean but very austere restaurant with no table service. You must wait in line and order at the window. The tables and chairs are basic and soda is self service. I ordered the small whole... More

Even though the restaurant was sold to a new owner a few years ago, the fried seafood is as good as ever. And, the barbecued ribs are the best you will ever eat. Everything is quickly fried in oil which is constantly being changed so the fried seafood is golden brown and never greasy. Our favorites are the fried clams... More

Thank you Lynn for this wonderful review. Ribs, haddock, clams and slaw are our favorites too. The fried beans are a good good addition, let me give you a sample the next time we see you. Sincerely, Teresa Andreoli and Chris Kohler More

We were visiting family in Portsmouth, NH, so flew into Portland. After seeing all of the listings for chain restaurants, this one (on Trip Advisor) stood out as a good place to stop for dinner on the way to Portsmouth. We left Atlanta and 90 degree heat, but landed in Portland with 58 degrees and raining. Even in this dreadful... More

My family has been going to this no-nonsense seafood restaurant for 17 years. Don't be fooled. This is not a fancy night out..checkered table cloths, line up to order and closing at 8pm. But you will never forget the quality of the food or how clean the place is. Clam roll and crab roll are great and get the fish... More

If you're going to be in Maine... and you're going to eat fried seafood... go where the locals go! The Seafood Center is one of those special places, just off the "beaten tourist path," that delivers exactly what you've been looking for. As you step through the door, it's a step back in time... to hand-made picnic tables covered in... More

I had the fried scallops and baked haddock sandwich for my most recent visit. Let's face it, sometimes we all just crave that traditional fried seafood dish. The scallops were fresh - juicy and sweet inside, and crispy and delicate on the outside (probably right off of the local boats). I'm glad that the waiter reminded me that the fry... More

Wonderful, fresh seafood at a fabulous price! Casual atmosphere, ample portions, kid friendly and plenty of choices for folks who don't like seafood! I had scallops--amazing! And delicious homemade ice cream in fantastic flavors at their ice cream stand next door. Well worth the trip!
