Surf 6

The best part of my meal was the pickle. Save your money and go somewhere else. Tourist trap. Ordered the drink special mojito, it was pure sugar and watered down vodka. Yummo. For lunch, I ordered the spring salad mix and asked for red onion, tomatoes, and carrots to be put on top, just like the garden salad they offer. I was told absolutely no substitutions allowed. Do not go here if you have special dietary needs. Instead I chose the haddock sandwich, and asked for lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Completely reasonable request for a sandwich. Instead they brought out a fried hockey puck of very fishy tasting «haddock», and the saddest piece of lettuce I have ever laid eyes on. No tomato or red onion allowed.
I paid $ 20.50 to be able to use the bathroom and eat a pickle.

Ended up going here only for drinks since all other Unilocal reviews trashed their food. We ended up getting 4 drinks which totaled $ 60. Overpriced drinks and awful slow service. Ended up asking why their margaritas were $ 15/​each when their menu clearly states $ 9/​each. Ended up paying to avoid further confrontation — will not return.

Good Food, Great Service. Scallops and all the other seafood good. Service is quick and cheerful. Steak is good, drinks are plentiful and Finally a place in Maine that serves Coke products. Sat a party of fourteen within 10 minutes. Great place to grab a bite.

Came just for appetizers and drinks at about 2pm. Immediately were sat on the deck overlooking the ocean, which was nice. We had calamari and a New England clam chowder. The calamari was small and pricey, but good. The chowder was huge, a little pricey, but very good. It could have been hotter, but the flavor made up for it. Our server was very nice and attentive. Drinks were ice cold! Liked it just fine for a drink/​snack spot.

Everything we ordered was in no way «fresh seafood». You can tell it was all frozen food tossed in a fryer. It was gross. The tank with the lobsters had the same size lobsters you get at my local grocery store in the middle of Massachusetts, for a quarter of the price. I assumed a restaurant, claiming to have the freshness seafood food, right on the beach in Maine, would have better seafood then a grocery store in Worcester, MA. I was very disappointed to have this as my first stop on our vacation. The building and decorating was fun and the back deck over looking the beach and. ocean was very nice, but the bathrooms where out dated and thinks. like the handle to the sink or the lock on the stall where broken. I get the weather is not so nice to keep thing pristine, but a little efforts in keeping up with things would go a long way. I mean with the prices they charge for a clam strip dinner or a appetizer of lobster cakes, you think there would be enough money to fix up the building, because they sure as he’ll are not using the money to buy the freshness seafood. Not interested in going back.
Oh and the service is absent. She took our order, we waited for ever for our food, and then did not see her until way after we where done eating.and.She gave us the check. She never came back, we left the money and left. And their signature Surf 6 cocktail, is nothing more then a Malibu bay breeze, that cost $ 10. Not worth the money.

Better review this year. Excellent scollops and coleslaw. Great view. Come for cocktails!

Believe me, this may have been the worst meal I have ever been served at a restaurant. Went here with friends and all of the entrees we ordered were absolutely awful!!! The prime rib was way overcooked and sent back. The scallops tasted like eating cardboard with absolutely no flavor at all and the baked haddock was just as bad! The only positive thing I can say is, 25% was taken off the bill because everyone was so dissatisfied with their meals. Never again!

Spent our 1^st anniversary, here! Food was just fine, and the view was GREAT! Outdoor, at night, on the ocean! Love Old Orchard Beach! Come August, we will be celebrating our 10^th anniversary!

Overpriced and food was terrible! Waitress did not serve everyone at the table at the same. Service was also non-​existent. Had the steamed lobster dinner: was expecting the Maine staple to include corn, baked potato, etc… Instead, we received a dried out lobster, cole slaw and some soggy fries. Save your money and go to a lobster pound instead!!!

The calamari was greasy and it was 12 $ for a small plate and the fried claims were not very good and you have to pay 5 dollars to park

Will not go back…
I ordered their broiled haddock — it was dried out and seemed old. Wife ordered scallops — they were sandy, small, and probably the worst ones either of us had this year. The kid’s meals we so-​so, but you’d hope they could cook a hot dog and spaghetti.
Lastly, for the amount of money we paid, I just expected so much more… I wouldn’t advise anyone to go here…

My cousin and her fiancé got food poisoning. Enough said.

Really disappointed right now. I’ve been coming to Old Orchard Beach with my daughters for 15 years and Surf 6 has always been a favorite. Gray atmosphere and pretty good food. I’m guessing there’s new ownership. The menu is skinnyed down and the food is, frankly, awful. Everything we had was clearly frozen and dumped into a fryer. Limp clam strips, lame haddock and canned clam chowder. I’m giving two stars only because our waitress was a doll and the band on the deck was good.
Sadly, we’re gonna have to find a new beach bar.

The food is great and the service is great. The employees are very nice and the service is fast. But can get busy

Bad just… bad
Walk across the street to the myst restaurant
Services and food is great !!!

Solid destination for reliably good food, great atmosphere, great view and excellent staff/​service. Of the numerous restaurants near the pier, this is our favorite. Reasonably priced selection — from lobster rolls to burgers, we have never been disappointed. We like their lobster rolls better than the nearby Myst restaurant, which uses a large hoagie roll — making it too bready. Surf 6 uses a New England hotdog roll, which let’s u enjoy the lobster more IMO. Great outdoor seating, right on the beach.

The «sea scallops» were, at best, bay scallops, and likely were whitefish. Very questionable at the least. This place seems more bar than restaraunt. They served my beer in a plastic cup.

I have been coming to surf 6 for many years — it is your average burger and seafood place on OOB. The place has a great location with a stunning view of the beach /​ocean. I have been to my uncle’s 50^th here and they did a great job with food and service. The food is good overall — nothing mind blowing, but exactly what you would expect to find in an oceanfront bar/​grill. I love the burgers and the haddock here — but would pass on the prime rib. If you have your expectations set right you will have a great time and meal here.

You can have haddock any where or you can have the best damn Haddock you’ve ever had in your entire life. My girlfriend and I took the baby up to some warm beach weather and wanted to get away. We came hungry and knew that OOB had little to no good food to offer… or does it?
Listen, I don’t know if this place is open year round, however… If i could drive there every day, I would.
My father who is an average cook makes the meanest Haddock ever and this place topped it. This seafood/​dive bar was better than I expected. The drinks we had ordered were great.
Take down all the ridiculous advertising you have up for your vendors or make sure they’re giving you free beer all year long, it looks tacky. If you have good food, you don’t need to put up anything for them unless they pay you.

Review is for fried clams and beer!
We hung out at OOB for a while. Friend bought the fried clams, which were delicious but tourist-​priced. We then decided to grab a few beers here — I tried a blueberry one for the sake of trying a blueberry one. Sat outside on the patio area. If you’re adverse to the smell of bleach, wait a minute after the girl finishes cleaning the tables. There’s also a live band in the weekend afternoon.
