Huot's Seafood Restaurant

Huot’s is a wonderful, family friendly establishment, with great service and delicious food. Their menu has a good variety of items on it. I highly recommend the lobster rolls and the clam cakes. They also have gluten free options on the menu as well, which feels very inclusive for those with dietary restrictions or allergies. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. They also have live music occasionally in the outdoor seating area, which is always a nice touch. I’ve been going there for years now, and I can truly say it’s one of my favorite restaurants in Maine.

Our favorite summer spot for seafood, live music, and smelling the salt air! The outdoor area out back is perfect for families with lots of picnic tables, games for kids, and even an ice cream truck! The food can be pricey but the portions are generous and food is still reasonably priced compared to other summer season options. My favorites are the clam cakes and onion rings. The staff are always really friendly and helpful- we’ve never had a negative experience. Walking (rock-hopping) out onto the jetty at sunset is highly recommended- perfect for getting a family selfie…just go easy on the rum buckets.

Love this place! Great food, friendly and very helpful staff, live entertainment, indoor AND outdoor bar, and they even have cornhole! I had the Lobster roll and I highly recommend it. Large prices of lobster and claw meat right on top! Some places have their lobster mashed up too much but here it was perfect and tasted amazing. Can't say enough about the staff as they were friendly and very attentive. We never felt like we were "waiting too long". Will be going back for sure!

My family goes to Huot’s a few times a summer and it’s typically a delicious experience. We were disappointed last night. My wife and I both ordered the baked haddock dinner. The portion was huge but we didn’t like the dry crumb topping. We thought it was lacking in flavor. Not enough seasoning and no butter. It was pretty dry. The French fries were luke warm and limp. At $25.00 per meal we expected better. We think it was just a sub par night for the chef. We love the outdoor picnic table atmosphere and the live music. We will go back and will expect better next time. We hope you read this Jon, Ian, Alan, and Robbie. More seasoning on the baked haddock and the fries have to be hot, crunchy, and a touch of salt. Homemade tartar sauce would be preferred.

Let me preface this by saying we've been coming to Huots for 25years. The past few years have been hit or miss with quality of food but decided to try the local spot again this year. We ordered fried whole clams and butterfly shrimp three days ago and both were great! Good portions and taste. Tonight we ordered the same two, clams and shrimp, and the $22 clams were pitiful. The portion was tiny, I think maybe 5 or 6 small clams. Very disappointed. We will definitely consider going elsewhere next time. A shame.

Don’t waste your time at this restaurant. Got two lobster rolls and each roll had very minimal lobster meat. I have no problem paying for fresh seafood but, this is clearly a business that is taking advantage of hard working people. The clam chowder I received only had one clam with the rest being broth and potatoes. This was a terrible and most disappointing. Sad to see things like this but hey I got mirrors I look into everyday.

Fried clams (most expensive thing on their menu) were inedible. Rubbery and tasted slightly rancid. Only ate 2 from the whole plate tossed the rest. Fried shrimp and onion rings were good. Coleslaw was 50/50 mix of brown and fresh cabbage. It's sad to see an iconic place like Huot's take such a downward turn.

It was my first time eating at Huot's, it was no nonsense experience. It consists of a typical summer shack by the ocean menu. Order at the window, take it to go or eat in. My family and I chose to eat in. I ordered the fried haddock sandwich it came with lettuce tomato, onion, and pickle with cheese, served on a brioche bun. tt was probably close to a half a pound of haddock lightly breaded which is what I like not greasy at all fresh and tasty. My mom ordered fried clams she got a nice portion, once again not overly breaded or greasy, and I must say they were some of the biggest whole belly clams I've ever had (Yes I did sneak some). My daughter got the lobster roll, she had a choice of Maine style, hot buttered. She chose the standard Maine lobster roll with mayo, it was a nice portion of chunky lobster I'd say definitely over 1/4 lb of lobster meat which seems to be the standard for a lobster roll. The crinkle cut fries were nice and crispy. The condiment area is self-serve and they don't cheap out on tartar sauce (I think it's even homemade) which is important to me as I love tartar sauce with my fries as well, hopefully people don't abuse. The people were extremely nice and they really cared how her experience went. I will definitely be going back when I pay a visit to my family in Saco.
