Bell Buoy - Old Orchard Beach

Every time I come up to Old Orchard Beach, my family and I stop here! It's no frills, but a solid, straightforward meal. Everything is reasonably priced with portions that will leave you full. Once you walk in, you feel like you've been transported back in time. Old school decor, your classic American restaurant. On the menu, they have an option for a 3-course meal. They have various options to choose from for a fixed price! It's great . My only complaint about it is that they used to have steamers as an option for an appetizer in the fixed 3 course meal, and it is no longer included. I decided on clam chowder, Caesar salad, and stuffed shrimp. I enjoyed the salad, and the stuffing for the shrimp was buttery and rich, but the clam chowder was terrible. No flavor at all and extremely watery broth. Would never get that again. Overall, enjoyable sit down, family restaurant, and will be back next year!

The clam chowder is not thick, but most places in this area seem to serve this style. Our waitress was so nice and attentive. I had a lobster and my kids had fried shrimp and chicken tenders. They are reasonably priced and in a convenient location near the trolley pick up/ drop off area.

Well... clam chowder seemed to be missing clams, had plenty of potatoes, thin.. like soup and barely warm The stuffed haddock was very good. The waiter thought he was a bad comedian.. he had 3 days left he mentioned several times. Was actually somewhat rude. He needs a better job, maybe where he doesnt have to work with the public. Haddock very good... Dont expect good clam chowder.. and don't ask for Douglas to be your waiter. Bon appetite !

Great food,great prices, excellent service.
