Frye House: A Seafood Haven with Burgers That Take You Back

great food that’s always hot, wonderful staff, and good prices! my only complaint is i wish you guys were open all the time!! one of the best food places around (take it from a local)

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.

Best fried food in the area. The chicken was tender, juicy, flavorful & a great value.

First time eating here. Our food was just as we ordered and delicious!! I ordered buffalo chicken Mac and Cheese (with grilled chicken) My husband had the Chicken Basket.

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!

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!

Great fresh food (we had clams), good price, very friendly service. We drive the extra 20 minutes as they have the best clams around!

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.
