Most Disliked
While the food quality is praised, some guests mention occasional delays during peak times, especially on weekends. The bustling atmosphere during those periods might hinder a quiet dining experience. A few diners highlight that kitchen hours end at 9 PM, which could disappoint late-night diners seeking a meal. Limited vegetarian options compared to the seafood and meat-centered menu also receive mentions, indicating a need for more variety to accommodate different dietary preferences. However, despite these minor drawbacks, many agree that the overall experience at Herbie's overshadows such inconveniences.

Hometown bar and eatery. Noted for great fish dishes. Plenty of food for the money. I had baked haddock & scallops. Great service. Note kitchen closes at 9pm.

This place is cozy and quiet early on Friday. I had baked haddock and perfectly cooked shrimp, with pilaf and mixed veg. I liked that the vegtables were plain and just soft with no tomato like many restaurants. Delicious. The 3 people with me loved their salmon, clams and fish and chips. The service was prompt and friendly. This is our friend's favorite fish restaurant. Now it's mine, too.

Been here twice! Never disappoints. Service is fast, seafood is amazing. Whole Belly Fried Clams with extra Tartar, I’ve never tasted anything quite like it. I have the lobster roll which is traditional Maine lobster roll served cold with butter. Everything is tasty and you can’t beat the prices. The staff know what’s up and treat you right. Make this a pit stop of your journey. Walk on in and grab a table today !

Food is good and fresh. Filling and decently priced too. My only gripe is the parking lot. The parking lot doesn't have a pothole but practically a meteor crater.

We loved this restaurant! It’s so easy to find parking and table without reservations. They are very busy but they are a great team. Nice experience eating delicious seafood. So good that you will feel “light” at the end of the meal. Recommended for casual dinners!
