The lobster roll meal was $20. For $20 you get a hotdog bun with dry lobster meat no lettuce no mayo nothing. McDonald’s does a better job and there are national conglomerate. Living right down the road and watching the recent renovations take place, I was really excited. The service was marginal at best. We sat down with in five minutes but we did over 20 to be served, and there is no drink menu! Can’t understand how the parking lot is full every single night. Simply disappointed.
Chowda was ok but not much fish
We have tried to order take out from Bobs multiple times since their remodel and every single time, they say that they are “too busy”. Their customer service is seriously the worst that I have ever experienced, I would highly not recommend.
Expensive and long waiting times but food is excellent
Great time here, great grilled oyster app and Fish n chips dinner, large new taproom!
I was very impressed with the changes! I had the pan seared scallops with onion rings and green beans, all were perfect.
eat, drink, and love local ♡
Seafood is fresh and well selected - customer service is meh
Great lunch! Shark bites were delicious. I got grilled chicken sandwich ( bacon, bbq sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion) and coleslaw. Ate every bite! Very good. My friend got fried shrimp and a salad and she said she loved it. She has been here a few times since it reopened and highly recommended. It was my 1st time back since the remodel and I am very impressed!! Thank you.
Excellent!
Had a really good meal there...service was wonderful. Thank you we will be back.
Excellent food with good service, but the restaurant is small so go early!
On par with the best lobster rolls I've had. a ton of meat, just enough mayonnaise, and a perfectly toasted bun. The fried whole belly clams tasted like they were in the ocean that morning. Loved the whole meal from start to finish.
Love the new digs!!!!
Food was excellent and so was the sevice
Wonderful, kind, attentive servers & staff. Food amazing. The outdoor patio and cheesecake put the entire evening over the top!
Best seafood, always was even before the renovation. Everything comes out great. haddock is the best you will ever eat! Little bit of a wait to sit now but that's because everyone realized it's so good well worth it!
Lobster Roll was packed. Good service, no waiting and reasonable prices.
Confusing set up with no guidance as to where to sit or order. There’s not signage saying order here, take out, or wait to be seated. We walked around aimlessly until a staff member told us where we sit and order. To top it off, one of the staff was very rude and patronizing about my service dog. He was confrontational as I tried to explain ADA laws since he didn’t seem to understand them. Had it not been a family members birthday I would have left.
This is the best seafood in the Windham area. After labor day will undergo renovations and seating should be much improved
I find it disappointing that Bob’s Seafood in Windham is unable to handle a simple to go order, especially during the off season. Perhaps it would be a wise decision to hire more kitchen help to handle your expanded restaurant. Being bigger doesn’t always mean things will be better, particularly when you can’t even handle a to go order anymore. Once the tourists arrive, your staff will really be in over their heads unless the owner comes up with a better plan to handle the larger crowds.
They recently remodeled and it looks great. It's also not too loud but still pretty hopping. They also have take out.
Food was great make sure you go way beforw close or the cashier gives you attitude.
Good food and great service. Please try the dessert. They r great also
Scallops were great!
Good food. Had to wait an hour plus.
Staff were excellent and we're very helpful. Food was the best.
Friendly knowlegable people
We had the four combo: hattock, shrimp, calamari, and crab cake with a 1lb of steamers. The fish was so fresh. Shrimp was so juicy and buttery. The calamari and crab cake was very crispy. The steamers were also good and fresh. Overall, everything was good. The service was nice and friendly. My family is a very picky seafood eater and this restaurant satisfies everyone even my older son who doesn’t like seafood.
New taproom, not impressed, PRICY like NYC, quickly got a booth but waited a half hour to get an app, a few local craft beers on tap $9 for a pint!?! $22 lobster roll was only med size without much flavor. Service was good, atmosphere meh.
My first time there was definitely a disappointment. I will, however give it a second shot at some point. The selection of both the food and alcoholic drinks is limited, which should not necessarily be a bad thing. But, with the selection limited, you expect awesome quality. It is not awesome, by any stretch of the imagination. My lobster and clams were definitely overcooked and the onion rings were mushy. They did have a sign stating they wanted to hire a cook. Maybe that was the problem. I will wait for that sign to disappear and then try again.
All new bar and dining room, costs a lot but excellent seafood
The fresh seafood market is great. The restaurant food and staff was awesome as well! Some of the best fried clams. Hubby thought the N.E. Ruben was the out of this world!
Excellent I'd give it 5 stars. They go out of their way for their customers.
it's a great place and the food is great however the wait time is long and it's a little bit expensive
Nice atmosphere the seafood chowder was okay but not a lot of seafood in it and the clam chowder was like eating a bowl of paste
The restaurant was nice, good food and relaxed place, the fish market didnt have much at all, and some stuff they get is frozen not fresh.
Excellent food and service!
What I had I really liked. Fresh steamers, great chowder and few clam cakes. Next time I'm in the area I'll definitely check them out again. We're used to good seafood in southern RI so I'm giving it a 4 star for now. It's very good but not quite WOW
OMG! The fish is so fresh and cooked so deliciously. My personal favorites and the baked stuffed haddock and the no belly fried clams cooked in crumbs. They have become quite the hotspot in Windham, New addition of a cocktail lounge is quite upscale for the area and food is served there as well.
Since the expansion, prices went up, portions went down.
Service was good . Had fried clams and scallops. They were fair. There are places with better food. Wouldn't go there again for dinner
I love the new look and the tap room. The seafood was fresh and delicious. Wait staff was attentive. Great place for seafood .
Great very nice people.
We ate at the bar which appeared to be new. Sports bar like ... lobster roll was solid but not great. Clam strips well they were clam strips. Good choice of beers on tap. Maybe we chose our meals wrong but expected more from a seafood restaurant close to the coast good Maine. Nothing specific to complain about though. Service was very friendly and not slow. Maybe they deserve 3 and 1/2 Stars.
2 hrs I will nerver get back worst experience we've had ever at a resturant
Great
Bob's seafood is a very good restaurant ! His standards for Quality, Freshness & klenlyness is way beyond an A rating he deserves a AA rating. Whether your eating in or taking out you will be completely satisfied with his products. A new Dinning room & tap room have been added to expand his volume of customer's. The parking lot was also expanded to handle the overflow of patrons looking to dine in or just picking up some seafood to cook at home ! Enjoy !
Great lobster roll
Haven't been here since they just reopened
Great restaurant A must stop every summer were on vacation in Maine. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and a great menu selection. Fast and friendly atmosphere. If your in Windham Maine you have to check them out.
Food was great.
Really good fried haddock
Just tried out the new Tap Room addition at Bob's Sea Food. Wow! Fantastic on all points! Great New Place to have fresh Seafood! 5 Stars!!
The food was spectacular, even if it was a bit as slow coming out and generous portions!! We will be back
Newly remodeled!! Loved the new Taproom!
Walked into the place and was ignored....way too busy! From what I saw..it's basically a bar room! No quite the place to enjoy a seafood platter. Plus.... it was a one hour and twenty minute wait...ridiculous.
Delicious food. The renovations came out great.
Was very pleased with our visit. Love the new Taproom. The atmosphere was great, food delicious, good service. Prices not cheap, but about the same as other seafood places. Would definitely go again!
Great food and a great staff. Met the owner who was working hard to seat our large party in a comfortable spot. His wife waited on us and was super friendly. A great experience.
two times this week we called to place a takeout order both times we were told an hour and a half before they could even put the order in! Saturday night called at 705pm they said they could not put the order in before 8:45pm. Today we called at 415pm and they said they could not even put the ticket thru until 545pm. Are you kidding me? Do you think you are the only seafood place left in Maine or something. We used to spend a lot with you, never again will we call, Best of luck with that kind of customer service. Don't waste your call and take your business to someone that cares about you and your money.
Large seafood plate was small. Clams were small and shrimp were as well. Tasted fine but for the high cost expected better
Delicious food. I’d recommend it to everyone.
This place has been here for years. Great fresh fish, daily specials, and fresh fish and lobsters available for purchase. They also ship lobsters in the U.S. Have an outdoor seating area for summer. Right now, they are closed for renovations. It's going to be BIGGER. Also, usually open all winter long, yay!
The food and service were great
The all new Bob's Seafood and Taproom is very nice. Great local Maine craft beers to go with Bob's fresh and tasty seafood dishes!
Food was not good flavor very bland
A good family owned business and the food is great.
Friendly service. Good value.
Great food, great beer choices. Steamers were the best I ever had. Outside patio with live music on occasion.
Great food. Little pricey. Had to wait 45 minutes to receive our food. The business has greatly expanded but they seem unprepared for their popularity.
Good service and great portion and food.
Great as ever and always.
Good service good food .
Love Bob's Seafood. It was always a great quality food place and a bit casual. Fun pace to go, went often, but picnic tables casual. Over the winter they expanded and vastly improved their facilities. They now have table service, table out, a bar, and the same great food!! WIN WIN WIN!!
Excellent service and excellent food!
Good food good prices
My wife and I were trying to find a private / semi-romantic place for dinner on a family trip to Maine. When I called to see if we needed reservations, the person that answered the phone just said "hello" (should have been my first clue...), but we tried anyway. It's more of a place to buy seafood for the house with a snack bar added on. We didn't stay.
We’ve been three times in 10 days. All our friends and family love the outdoor seating. Fire pit is a nice touch. Food awesome
Good selection, ample servings, fresh seafood, waitstaff very upbeat and accommodating. Will return soon.
Nice outdoor patio seating. Microbrew beers were a bit pricey however...$9 for a pint. Ask before you order. Service was super friendly and quick. I would go back.
Brittany our waitress was the best part of our meal. She should replace the manager as he should realize you don't tick off the locals who carry you through. Disappointed at best for the rest. As a local we have been to Bob's several times and were ALWAYS satisfied with their food and price. We decided to try it since the remodel. We paid a hefty price for 4 meals that we could have gotten at Hannaford for a quarter of the cost. As a local this sir is NOT a shrimp! Or a seafood plater! Priced for "people from away.. is even insulting to them"! This is not representative of what Maine has to offer for seafood!
What can I say? Great food, decent prices and wonderful service. Very happy to see this business growing in 2019! This is our on and off season place to be for great seafood. Service is always quick and even if you have to wait for a table it's well worth it. My favorites include scallops, shrimp and haddock fried with hand cut fries. In a state with hundreds and possibly thousands of seafood restaurants this one holds one of my top picks Anyplace and Anytime! Keep up the great work!
Best seafood in Maine!!!!!!! Service Awesome food awesome everything was AWESOME!!!!!!
Bob's was terrific! I've gone three times since coming to Maine a month ago and we had really great waitresses 2/3 times but the food is always special. Tough not to spend a lot of money, that may just be a personal tendency though, but it's a great spot. They also have to different spaces to eat and both provide very distinct but enjoyable atmospheres
Have gone here for years. They just did a huge upgrade. Try the seafood chowder or anything else for that matter. Family owned a great people.
We ate on the patio, loved the atmosphere! Server was friendly, efficient and accommodating. Our appetizer of calamari was great. Guys had beer, ladies had cocktails. Our meals were very good. Can't wait to go back!
Great fish
Bob's has done a fine job a increasing its seating capacity and offering a sportsbar atmosphere. What hasn't happened yet is straightening out his kitchen. The pave is either seriously under staffed or badly organized. We are Windham residents and visited Bob's last week. The place was busy but not packed. After being seated we placed our meal order that included appetizers. The appetizers showed up 50 minutes after the order was placed (the waitress kept apologizing for the delay) and the meal came out 20 minutes later. Simply unacceptable given the type of food being served at this place - fish and other seafood takes minutes to prepare, so what's going on in the kitchen? While we waited for our meals 4 tables emptied before being served, just completely frustrated over the poor service. This level of service might be acceptable from a higher end scratch kitchen with exotic menus - even at that 70 minutes for a meal is a pretty big stretch. But not from a place like this. Unfortunately the tourist traffic and the lack of options for seafood on 302 is going to mask the underlying problems in the kitchen. Let's see what happens to the summer volume as word gets around that you need to dedicate 2 hours for lunch when choosing Bob's Seafood. GOOD LUCK!
Food was delicious
Great Fried haddock & fries. Excellent service
Love this place. I just happened to be driving by with my family, we stopped in and had the freshest seafood I've ever eaten. Apparently this is a family run Place, the owner, I think his name might have been Derek, although not sure, either way if he wasn't the owner, he was one of the most dedicated employees I've ever met in my life. You could just tell that he truly cared that we were having a good experience. Wish there were more businesses like this. This place will now be a must stop anytime we are driving through town.
Fantastic food and worth the price.
Hubby's favorite thing is a good crabroll. He was very happy. I suddenly craved a red hot dog. It was a 2fer. With the best fries ever! Toasted buns and grilled. Delicious. Only neg. was a buck charged for a tablespoon of diced onion.
Great food, service is mostly good (they seemed under staffed & under trained). We kept going back because it’s close to home, the food is delicious & my child loves the haddock nuggets. Unfortunately after today, I’m not sure we will be back. This restaurant seats ppl on a first come first serve basis. Which means they don’t wait for a smaller table to get up for a smaller party. You get whatever opens up & fits your party size. We have gone & only 2 people were able to get a large corner booth. Today we were going to get that corner booth. After keeping our 4 year old occupied while waiting for over 20 minutes. A party, larger than ours (by 2 ppl) walks in as our table is being cleared. The hostess gave our table to the party. They walked in & got the table we patiently waited for. There was a high top finishing up that this larger party could have waited for, as we did & easily fit at. It’s not ideal for us to have a high top with a 4 year old, so we didn’t wait for that table. Not to mention, we shouldn’t have had to. Very disappointed guys!
Clean, updated,great food.
Good food. Friendly staff. Crowded place though
Great food and service
Excellent fish and chips. Basket if you want a smaller portion. It's truly excellent.
Great food. Ok prices. Pretty noisy
Food was excellent! We sat in the new taproom. In the past you could bring beer or wine, now they have a full service bar.
The fried clams and fried haddock were good, but the fries were undercooked, like the oil wasn't hot enough.
Bob's is the best place to go for authentic Maine seafood in the area. Great people, great place!
Definitely the place to go for fresh seafood and awesome french fries.
Nice fried seafood
My Lobster was amazing!
Bob's has great fried seafood. Eating there is better than take out. The food gets soggy when you take it out. The taproom is very nice. It does get real busy however. So be prepared to wait. If your after lobster there are many places on 302 that can boil a lobster. However no one around can beat their fried seafood.
We enjoyed the seafood. Not my favorite but spot but overall it was a good experience.
The house salmon salad was so tasty and mpre than enough for two
Awesome place for seafood
We came in with a large group, they didn't break a sweat in regards to accommodating us, the staff was above and beyond our expectations and we were seating in relative little time. However, the wait to get what we ordered was a bit longer then we had hoped, understandable on a busy day but it felt like they were having a bit of trouble getting the orders made and out to tables regardless but this was my one and only time here so I really cannot say this is the norm. Enough to take notice and drop a five star review to a four, sorry. That being said, hands down, the best Ahi Tuna Steak Sandwich I have ever had! Seriously guys, you nailed it! Also, a huge plus was they had Downeast Aloha Friday on tap!!!
Awesome
Newly remodeled to accommodate their business this restaurant has fresh seafood at competitive prices. Everything is cooked to order so when it is busy there is a bit of a wait but it is well worth it.
The lobster roll was not worth the price and the French fries were cold.
Ordered the fried haddock dinner, which came with a generous portion of haddock, fries, coleslaw and a roll. Also ordered fried scallops to share. Food was fresh, hot and plentiful. Small dining area very casual, handicap accessible if assisted through doors. Plenty of parking, easy on and off from Route 302 in North Windham.
Not sure this review is fair as I'm visiting from Maryland where seafood is king and our seafood markets are fully stocked with the seas bounties. I went in seeking three things; lobster meat, fresh shrimp, and fresh scallops. I was only able to get the lobster, and some frozen tiger shrimp farmed in Vietnam and no scallops. Although I was told some scallops may come in later around 4pm or tomorrow. The store associate was very polite and the place was neat and orderly it just didn't have much of what I needed.
Really good seafood but staff needs to be more personal
Great food and great prices. Haddock chowder was delicious. Might not be a single vegetable on the menu and the wait may be 45 minutes.
Great place.Was fantastic and generous portions The new restaurant is very inviting and the food was fantastic and generous portions. I had the fried haddock dinner and it was sweet tasting and the batter was light and airy.
Great fried seafood, lite and not at all greasy. Good beer selection.
Our waitress was good. The wait was 1.5 hours AFTER being seated and ordering. The
Tried the Tap Room. It was nicely decorated not junky at all. The waitress was very respectful and checked with us several times to insure all our needs were met. Didn't feel rushed to leave. Food was good. Will go again.
We love ordering takeout from here! Best seafood! This time we decided to eat there. We went early on a Saturday night to try to avoid the long wait. We went around 5:00 and had to wait half of an hour. After waiting, we sat down, ordered and our food cake very quickly. It tasted amazing just like it always does!
Decent beer selection, good seafood and nice outdoor area
Friendly staff, fresh food, quick and easy. I like to buy sushi grade tuna and cut it into sashimi at home.
Offers a variety of both cooked and uncooked seafood for sale. Small relaxed dinner if you opt to have a meal there. Seafood for sale is good but a little pricey.
Great food and service.
FRESH SEAFOOD! Delicious food, reasonable prices, great service.
My favorite place for seafood when in town. Lobster rolls are great. Haddock nuggets, fried clams, fried scallops are all exceptional!
Comfortable atmosphere, good service!
Excellent jalapeno crab rangoon, good agmosphere.
Excellent lobster roll
A big remodeling! New menu, a big Tap room. Food was better then ever. Table service. Check it out!
Foodservice and food. AC set to low(cold)
Beautiful new area but too PRICEY yikes
Fish Reuben was delicious, grilled oysters tasty.
This is our favorite place to get seafood! We have been going here for years. Always fresh and delicious. Love the family owned feel and the service is always super friendly. Definitely recommend to everyone!
We've been supporting this business ever since they first opened their doors. They were primarily a fish market with a few picnic tables in a small indoor dining area and an outdoor deck. We were thrilled to experience the new renovations including the Tap Room for the first time this season. We'll be back!
THE BEST FRESH SEAFOOD AROUND!
Great food. Love the new tap room
We waited 2 hours for our food and the lobster wasn’t even hot when I got it.
Great food and service.
Love the location, ocean view and food.
Best lobster dinner in Maine
Nice addition
Great chowder
Food was excellent.
I love eating here with my friends and family. Its a small place with fresh seafood. There's not much seating inside, but they have a huge deck that is nice during the warm months. They have great food from Haddock to Steamers to fresh lobster that's swimming live there in a cement pool. Try it and return for more.
I'm not much of a seafood eater but it was very well cooked in the waiting staff was incredible
First experience at Bob's seafood was excellent! The staff is so nice they helped me choose between a huge menu, on which everything seemed so delicious. The food was excellent, quick service. Don't expect a chic ambiance, it's more like a classic dinner. I loved it!
Great food, beer & service! Looking forward to our next visit
Bob's does seafood right. One of my friends ordered the lobster roll and commented that " they're not stingy with the lobster!" Indeed, the roll was overflowing with lightly dressed chunks. My haddock sandwich was a delicately breaded piece of fresh fish. The fries here are served hot and unsalted. Good cole slaw.
The same great seafood and a few new items on the menu now served with your favorite adult beverages in a newly expanded and updated space.
Bob's Seafood I give 5 stars. This place is clean and their staff is friendly and helpful. Bob's Seafood has a good menu to choose from. This is a nice place to eat.
Good food
Delicious!
Bob's Seafood was good. We eat in different restaurants every day. The only complaint we had was the charge for every cup of coffee. We are usually charged for one which covers refills. Our bill was an extra charge of $12.50. The waitress says she should have told us. Food was good.
Great food
