Great food and atmosphere. My only complaint would be the rice pilaf had a few crunchy, uncooked rice. Sadly it was raining intermittently this day but the view and colors were stunning. Our waiter, Marlin, was very professional and checked on us often. We recommend the calamari and lobster.

From the moment we walked in we were greeted and sat very quickly. Our server took our drink and appetizer order promptly. We couldn’t believe how fast our apps came out. They were so delicious! We ordered the Calamari, Scallops Wrapped in Bacon and Mozzarella Sticks. For our main entrees we ordered the seafood platter, baked haddock, chicken tenders and fries and a grilled cheese w/fries. Everything tasted great and we were all happy with our experience! We will definitely be back!

The chicken cordon blue is melt in your melt amazing!!!!! It’s my go to order! The drinks are definitely good and strong! Highly recommended thier hard blueberry lemonade. My fiance had the lobster machine and ch he absolutely ate it right up! We were told a 40 minute wait thankfully it was only 25 and we were able to enjoy a drink on the patio. But be prepared you will be paying for the drinks you have while on the patio before your pager goes off for your table! They were still seating parties at closing! They all did great!

The service was astounding. No one slows down here. My Scallops and Seafood Chowder were tasty. Chowder could have been thicker….more like soup, a little on the pricey side. But overall a good experience.

Local spot on the water. Traditional, seasonal seafood restaurant fare and pricing – everything has been fresh and I’ve done dine-in and take-out a number of times. Good amount of parking.
Best overall: fried fish sandwich (fresh good size, good roll), worst: salad with fried chicken breast (small chx, oil up too high when cooked, no flavor except oil and burned fry, bland salad/veg). Other items that worked well enough: fried mushrooms, burger, fisherman’s platter, wrap sandwich.
Great sunset punch drink (1 bartender not as consistent as the others, always looks stressed out).
Best thing about this place has been the service (averaged over visits). And that keeps the environment up, even while waiting the guests all seem happy, and pleasant to talk to.
Gets busy, you’ll have a long wait potentially. View is lovely and they have live music.
My advice: charter a fishing trip and come in for lunch or dinner when you get back to dock.

Nice place in a quiet spot. The place is huge with a nice outdoor deck overlooking the cove. I had the stuffed haddock with potatoes and broccoli and my wife had the onion rings and fried shrimp. Both cooked as requested. Service was fast and friendly. Not too busy on the day we were there but it was preseason, I would imagine it gets pretty busy during peak season.

Everything was going great until there was a huge miscommunication regarding the lunch to dinner cut off, so what started as a leisurely layer lunch became a rushed dinner. The food was ok, the stuffed mushrooms was soaked in butter, the lobster artichoke dip was very good. Greek salad was fresh, whole belly clams were clean.

We arrived at Hobbs at a peak time, and the wait was a little over an hour. The host was friendly and helpful, and when he took our information, he sent us out to the back patio to wait. Most restaurants just have you stand or sit around the entrance. Hobbs has a back patio where they have music, drinks, Adirondack chairs, and tables, and you can wait while enjoying cocktails or the atmosphere overlooking the harbor. We ended up chatting with locals and sipping martinis, so the wait flew by.
When we were called in to our table, the host remembered we’d told him one of our party was a local and made a callback comment to that, which was appreciated.
After we were seated, our server was kind, personable, and attentive. She came back around after a relatively short wait to tell us that she hadn’t forgotten us but that they’d had an issue with the ovens they were working on getting resolved. That was a nice gesture she didn’t have to make.
We got crab-stuffed mushrooms, which were absolutely superb, for our appetizer. I got the lobster mac and cheese, which included a whole lobster’s worth of claw meat in a stellar dish.
Although we received our food 10 minutes before the restaurant was due to close, we didn’t feel like we were being pushed out. The staff were amazing beginning to end. I’ve never found myself without a single complaint about a restaurant, no matter how minor, but for Hobbs I have only one: that I live 15 hours away from it.
If you’re visiting the Wells area and are looking for good, fresh seafood, Hobbs is by far the best place around, and it is well worth the wait (if you have one).

My Lobster was chewy, over cooked but our waiter got the manager and they cooked fresh for me, just had to wait. Spouses baked potato was no where near fresh and he choose to just eat his other food, seafood platter which was good. We visited CT and decided to make the addition drive to ME to eat here, we had eaten here a few times over the years and enjoyed the atmosphere and the food had always been really good. Maybe we hit it at a bad time.

Very extensive menus and everything we had was excellent.
We had the stuff mushrooms, seafood (lobster & scallops) pie, stuffed shrimp and blueberry crisp which were all very good. Cocktails were good too.
