The staff is always friendly and attentive, not many places these days take the time to learn your name and remember it months later when returning. Always greeted with a smile, the menu has plenty of delicious options and the fried chicken is the best in the area! Sadly my wasteline won’t allow me to eat there weekly! Great place / food highly recommend!

Frye House
GOOD: Milk Shake, fry quality
BAD: flavor – I didn’t want to keep eating
I really wanted to love Frye House with its big local appeal. Unfortunately, it fell flat on the biggest part, flavor.
The peanut butter milkshake was very good. The price and thickness was great. I’d give the place another try just for the milkshakes.
I ordered a clam roll with onion rings. The fry batter looked good and was crispy, but it was tasteless. There didn’t seem to be any salt or spice in the batter. I nailed it with salt and pepper, it really didn’t help. The batter was also grainy at times reminding me of sand.
I would try again, but likely do a burger or fried chicken. The only part of dinner that popped was the tartar sauce. Do try a milkshake.

We spent a beautiful day at Pemaquid Beach and decided we wanted fried clams on the way home. We stopped at a place in Wiscassett on route one that looked decent —only to find that The jumbo clam platter had 8 ounces of clams advertised as market price for $57 (the basket was $37). Needless to say, we left without ordering. We’re happy to pay for a good meal, but not get ripped off. $57 for 8 ounces of clams is not market price in any market (July 30th, 2025). This was a carryout location with picnic table seating, and self serve booths.
We decided to search places that offered fried clams within striking distance on our way home. The Frye House in Farmingdale popped up in the top three so we gave it a chance. We landed there 30 minutes before they closed on a Wednesday evening and ordered two clam platters, a pint of clams and a BLT. The total was $83. Which sounds like a lot but when you consider the order, it was very reasonable.
They were kind and welcoming when we walked in the door, and the platters were overflowing with the biggest whole belly clams we’d EVER had. Maybe they’re just fried clams, but our experience was great and the food was delicious! We will definitely seek them out again!
We popped up the road and sat by the river in Hollowell to enjoy our meal picnic style.

We happened to stop on a night that was exceptionally busy due to local power outages, staff was friendly, attentive and service was fast and efficient. Our food (seafood, pork and chicken) came out quickly and was fresh and steaming hot. We realized when we got home that we were missing some sauces, but otherwise everything was spot on.

What a great find! I can honestly say it’s the best whole belly clams that we’ve had in a long time. Light batter fresh oil, and just flat out delicious. Friendly and courteous staff… Thank you very much. We will be back!

Placed an order for my dental office, I asked for a few family baskets and got fat shammed over it! They laughed at me when I stated what I wanted! To whomever is running front of house, have the days you deserve not what you want!

Food is great! But! My order is always wrong!! I always ask for extra tarter sauce ! I almost never get it! I ask for a fork ! I almost never get it!! We ALWAYS!! Ask for crinkle cut fries! Almost never get it!!!! I have repeatedly asked for them to check the order !!before our employee picks it up!!!!! We do takeout there at lunch ! Three times a week!! Spend at least 200 a week in food there! I apologize for my rudeness on the phone! It’s just very frustrating for us to constantly get the order wrong! If you double checked the order once your done? I think this could. Easily be solved!! Thank you!!
