Firstly, there are 2 main seating areas, Bobs Seafood Market side and Tap Room side. It's kind of confusing but they are all the same restaurant. During the good weather there is also seating outside through the Tap Room. The Market side seating is cozy and quieter, the Tap Room side is spacious and noisy as the bar is also in the main part of the restaurant. It may be quieter in the booths, but we were seated right next to the bar. Still, it was well worth it. We got the scallops wrapped in bacon for the appetizer. They were perfect and I mean PERFECT. The bacon was cooked through all the way around and the scallops were cooked to just the right amount of done, not rubbery at all, they were succulent and yummy. Next time I might just get these and a salad. The Hub got 10 huge fried shrimp with what tasted like homemade cocktail sauce and homemade crispy fries. He loved it all including the slaw which he said was fresh and crispy. I got the fried clams, small, sweet and crispy, yummy. The haddock was really fresh, and the coconut shrimp were delicious. I had to take those home for lunch the next day though and they were just as good cold. The salad was a simple side salad but was fresh and appealing. I have to give a shout out to our server Danica, she was amazing, very attentive and ran around like the Ever-Ready bunny. Oh to be young and have that much energy!!!

Been here a couple of times and I am always impressed. The atmosphere, service, and food is all amazing. We have the House Signature salad, Jalapeno Crab Rangoons, and Potato Skins. Everything was amazing, especially the Rangoons. Our waitress Hayley was great. Had the Blueberry Lemonade and Paloma cocktails -- so freaking good. Sometimes there is a wait, but it is worth it. One of the only places you can get higher quality of food in Windham.

As someone who was born and raised in Maine this is my favorite spot to go for seafood! I don't eat out anymore but I will still go to Bob's seafood sometimes because they always have friendly service and amazing food no matter what I order!

Calamari was the best we've ever had. Nice and tender, not chewy at all. It was served with thai chili sauce and jalapenos. We love spicy food so it was on point. The coconut shrimp basket was good but the coconut sauce served with it was just too much coconut flavor, we preferred to use the chili sauce to dip them in. Perfect chips for malt vinegar and salt. We showed up on trivia night and it was already about a half hour in and we ended up coming from behind and getting third place. The atmosphere is nice and cozy. Will definitely be going there again.

We got there basically at the last minute from Ohio, eager to grab some fresh seafood that we really can't get near us. The person who helped us was so nice, even though everything was pretty well put away, he happily helped facilitate my requests. We did not have the time to eat there, but the restaurant part looked awesome as well. We were more than satisfied with the fresh seafood we purchased! Thank you!

Even tho this is a seafood restaurant, they serve the best 1/2lb angus burger around. My wife got the twin lobsters and loved them.

I took my wife out on a Saturday evening I was not ever expecting this place to be so good. The meal was excellent for both of us. I've been to plenty of restaurants in my time I've never had every part of my meal prepared so perfect. I'm expecting to bring friends and family so they can experience it too

This was my first visit to Maine during a business trip, and since my company is conveniently located near this restaurant, my boss highly recommended their seafood. We chose to have lunch here, arriving slightly past noon on a Friday, and were pleasantly surprised to find a brief wait for a table. To me, this signaled a positive sign. For my meal, I indulged in 6 oysters, shrimp cocktails, bacon-wrapped scallops, and a lobster roll. I must admit that the seafood here surpassed my expectations in terms of taste and quality. I'm thoroughly convinced that this place knows its seafood well, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. What sets this establishment apart is that it's not just a restaurant; it also operates as a seafood market. People can stop by to purchase fresh seafood to enjoy at home. During our meal, I noticed several customers dropping by to buy seafood for later. Additionally, the spacious parking lot adds to the convenience. Our waitress was remarkably attentive and detailed. She took the time to explain any dish modifications and provided alternative options when needed. Her attention to detail was commendable, and it enhanced our dining experience. All in all, I would confidently give this place a 5-star rating. I'll definitely make a return visit whenever I have the opportunity and will wholeheartedly recommend it to my friends. Update on 6/12/2025. Back at Bob's Seafood after 16 months, and it's still fantastic since my last visit, making this my second time, and they continue to impress. Our party of four arrived around 12:40 PM, and our table was ready instantly. While it took about 30 minutes for our food to arrive, the wait was absolutely worth it. We ordered the Beet Salad, the Signature Salad with Scallops, and the Ahi Tuna Steak Sandwich. All were delicious! My Signature Salad with Scallops was truly exceptional – easily one of the best salads I've ever had. It's clear Bob's Seafood has maintained its great performance. Consistently excellent food. Another solid 5/5 from me! Highly recommend.
