- Erik CintronSeptember 2, 2018Famous spot the late Bourdain visited. I had to come try it. It’s everybody’s bar with amazing seafood. Make reservations or go to the bar and great service and food. Dive bar feeling. Off the water
- Norman EllisJuly 18, 2015Divey and dirty and everything you want a lobster shack on the docks to be. Lots of drunk happy locals mixed in with summer folk. The steamed Lobster Dinner was reasonably priced and delish.
- Betty MakSeptember 7, 2014Bucket of steamer clams are amazing! Sit outdoors and come early. Older blond waitress is rude. Younger short haired waitress is fun.
- Always my first stop in the old port. Grab an Allagash White, a bucket of steamers and some lobster bisque and you're all set.
- Bob TrippFebruar 2, 2011great bar and resteraunt but 3's a crowd travel alone or in pairs if you want a seat at the bar during busy hours. Mary and Sandy are friendly and attentive bartenders. The lobster stew is awesome an
- BonJuni 28, 2013Sit outside, watch the boats, eat oysters and other sea treats. The bakers dozen is incredibly generous. >13. PS you can charge a phone outside.
- Justin KadisJuni 25, 2015Did you know: Portland has an NBADL team named the Maine Red Claws? After you see the size of the claws on the lobster rolls at J's, it no wonder!
- Chelly BSeptember 5, 2010When you find the CEO of a corporation sitting next to the Fisherman who brought in the catch of the day...you know it's good! imo best place to get the best seafood in Portland when you want it fresh
- Kevin WalshApril 12, 2016I would say leaving 15% is the minimum here and and even that I would frown upon unless there is a special lady that deserves some succulent oysters.
- Kevin beinhackerJuly 5, 2020Oysters were excellent but not as good as scales, lobster claw app and stuffed mushrooms with crabmeat were excellent. Lobster soup is definitely worth it
- JimSeptember 30, 2012My go-to food and beverage destination in Portland. Found this place when Grateful Dead played the Civic Center May '79. I've boated over from S Harpswell in 17' Whaler just to have a Dozen.
- Jacob BialeschkiAugust 26, 2014If this is your first time in Portland and want a local joint...This is the place. A little old school but the have amazing oysters for about a buck a piece!!
- Matthew RosenthalJuly 10, 2013combo cocktail is a must and if they have the cajun scallops roll as a special a must try! oh and did i forget to mention oyster vodka shooters!?
- JonSeptember 29, 2015Not the best seafood I've ever had, but it a really nice vibe. Be warned though: waited 90min for a table for 2 on a Friday in mid-Sept.
- Craig DesmaraisSeptember 4, 2014Favorite Portland restaurant. Great local feel. Get the "naked" lobster roll. Opens at noon.
- Shelby CarignanSeptember 14, 2014Authentic Maine seafood. Best oysters and lobster roll downtown. Always my go to place when taking friends out from out of town.
- Pam De SilvaOktober 2, 2015If there's an incredibly long wait list, you'll probably have better luck waiting for someone to leave their seat at the bar. Then get a bucket of steamers and wash it down with some local beer.
- Chris BraccoSeptember 13, 2014Awesome seafood at a good price. Nice wait staff, and one of the less touristy options down on Commercial Street.
- Lauren BeslityOktober 24, 2016Best steamers I have ever had! The lobster roll was pretty amazing too. Highly recommend!
- Arminda Guillama-RodriguezOktober 20, 2011Any wait is worth it, staff is friendly and place is mixed with locals and tourists - great specials too. Best lobster roll I've had so far!
- Tonya MezrichJuni 21, 2016Kinda disappointing this year compared to last year. ESP for the kids food. Got a pink hot dog and orange mac n cheese. The lobster roll was nothing special and the steamers soso.
- Traci GikasFebruar 19, 2016Do they still have the oyster special going in February? I've been away for awhile, in the Midwest where oysters are something that come in a can!
- M PJuly 17, 2019Great service, great food, great value. Every lobster dish is delicious. Would highly recommend.
- Seriously fresh seafood and excellent lobster roll. Love the long neck clams!
- Steven MatthewsFebruar 8, 2012You really can't go wrong at this fun, cozy raw bar with a great local energy. It's probably just what you're looking for.
- Portland Old PortApril 15, 2013A local dive with fresh seafood. Nothing is fried, so don't come here looking for fish & chips. Try the classic lobster roll.
- Sofia PapastamelosSeptember 5, 2015Good lobster roll. Had a great time eating lunch on the outdoor deck.
- WyngspanJanuar 27, 2014Feels and looks like it hasn't changed in years, and that's a beautiful thing. Best spot for delicious, fresh, cheap oysters. Mehr erfahren
- Chris NevinsSeptember 19, 2015Good lobster roll. Excellent oysters. Clam chowder is a little watered down.
- Allison CrouchJuly 9, 2013Quiet, intimate outside seating in the late evenings.. all seafood is fresh and delicious
- Stephanie BellMai 21, 2012Delish seafood & outdoor seating with view of the water. This place is a must for visitors.
- Jonathan HosterOktober 12, 2013There are a lot of good seafood places in Portland. This is one of the BEST!
- Kate RumeryOktober 3, 2012Local history. Staff is a family and have worked together for years!! A must!!!!
- Chet ManciniMai 29, 2017Classic 70s styled oyster bar but the pasta quality is quite poor. Stick with whole steamed lobster or similar.
- EugeniaMai 12, 2013Отличное недорогое место в Портленде со свежей морской едой. Lobster stew and shrimps are fantastic!
- Erik NelsonNovember 9, 2010Drink the Pinot Noir rather than the Cabernet... But DO have the Lobster and steamers! Great place! Love it.
- Marisa Torrieri BloomSeptember 16, 2012The outdoor views of the waterfront are great, but I found the crab roll to be only so-so. Clams, however, are a must.
- Gene G.August 25, 2012Had dinner with J and M.. WOW! Two bowls of chowder, oysters on the half shell, and a bucket of steamers.
- EaterJuly 30, 2012Nothing fancy here, just straightforward Maine seafood served with sass on Portland’s working waterfront. [Eater 18 Member]
- That is how much lobster meet was in my Lobster Stew CUP!
- Mary HutchinsonAugust 14, 2013This is the real deal. Forget all those tourist traps. J's is open year 'round.
- Lobster roll and oysters! Fresh off the boat!
