They need to focus on takeout and not phone orders. Keep it simple! Music is awesome

The haddock sandwich and fries had absolutely no taste, my husband asked for two cheeseburgers with no bun and when we got home it was two plain burgers, no pickles Lettuce or tomato and they forgot the cheese. Visiting from NY very disappointed in the food and price for it.

Been here many times. Fried clams are good, but not the best I've had. They have early bird specials, and small or large servings.

We've eaten there every year since we moved to Biddeford. This year the food was different. Taste was OK. We both had the Haddock plates.

Nice view but the place needs to educate there employees. This place did not pay attention to detail when ordering the food. The manager never came over to apologize on the order that could of put my girlfriend in the Hospital. The fact that I stressed it several times and did not listen. FAILURE

I'm from Québec, and when I was young, me and my family used to come eat here everytime we came to Old Orchard. In the past 9 years, I came twice with my girlfriend and we always had a wonderful experience. Now, like a lot of other reviewers mentioned, there is no more table service, and the menu quality has been reduced. I paid 40$ for a salad with lobster, expecting something good for that price. What I got instead was a sad excuse of a salad with 5-6 small, dry, tasteless pieces of lobster. The new management should be ashamed of having wasted such an iconic restaurant.

We have always loved this restaurant but this was our first time back since 2018. They have changed their format for ordering and it doesn’t work! I ordered the baked haddock with mashed potatoes and coleslaw. It all came out in take out dishes and honestly the haddock tasted like a frozen dinner, I had to send back my mashed potatoes bc they were cold. The prices are indicative of a nice restaurant but honestly I felt ripped off by the whole experience!.it used to be a wonderful dinings experience and now it’s just an overpriced take out. It’s hard to write this review as this place has always been our favourite go to while staying in Maine, but it needs to be said!

What the hell did you do to the clam cakes? They are thinner than angel hair spaghetti and harder than a hockey puck. Don't destroy the name for the best clamcakes around, bring back the old ones. Sincerely a forever local.
Dear Huot's Today, Saturday, 9/2/2023, I had the best grilled chicken sandwich ever. It was greatly generous in size, had fresh vegetables & tender roll & condiments, & was cooked to perfection. Cole slaw was also tasty & crunchy. We think the prices are modest considering portion size & quality. Thank you, Huot's, for a great lunch & for being there keeping on! Peggy Blood Saco, ME

Nice view terrible place. The employee who took the order did not pay attention to my girlfriends Allergies after 4 times I stressed make sure it's the GF Lobster. She brings it out on a bun with fries. The Manager never came over to apologize. They replaced the order and it was awefull she came home feeling sick. They probably just took off the Bun and put on another plate. This place is a FAIL

I've been here twice over the past couple years. The food is awful & overpriced. Its basically all fried and somehow dry & soggy at the same time. I dont believe for a second the seafood is fresh, it tastes like it came from Sysco or US foods. And standing in line for 45 minutes to order is truly an unpleasant experience.

Love the atmosphere, the food was very good the only thing that would make it better is if they had some cocktail waitresses.
