Day's Crabmeat & Lobster — Restaurant in Yarmouth

Days Crab and Lobster in Freeport, Maine, offers a delightful coastal dining experience that’s well worth a visit. Nestled with a scenic view of the marsh, the outdoor seating provides a serene backdrop, perfect for savoring fresh seafood. The atmosphere is welcoming, with a bustling yet efficient staff ensuring quick service despite a busy crowd. We didn’t wait long for our meal, a testament to the team’s hustle and dedication to keeping guests happy.

The menu is expansive, catering to varied tastes with mostly fair pricing. The standout is their lobster roll, slightly pricier than competitors but justified by its quality. Served on a perfectly toasted, buttery bun, the roll is generously portioned, brimming with tender, flavorful lobster. It’s a highlight that lives up to Maine’s seafood reputation. However, the fried clams initially raised an eyebrow—they came out noticeably dark, which made me question the frying oil’s freshness. After checking other reviews, it seems this is their signature style, likely due to a unique coating or a crispy cooking preference. Thankfully, the clams were far from chewy or rubbery; they were delicious, with a satisfying crunch and fresh taste that won me over.

The staff’s friendliness adds to the charm, making you feel right at home. While the lobster roll’s price might give pause, the portion and quality make it a worthwhile splurge. The rest of the menu feels reasonably priced, offering good value for the variety. Days combines a picturesque setting, a robust menu, and top-notch service, making it a must-visit for seafood lovers in Freeport. Whether you’re craving a classic lobster roll or crispy clams, this spot delivers a memorable meal...

This was an extremely disappointing experience. I went last year and it was delicious with good portions. This year was NOT the same. I talked it up to my boyfriend and we finally went together. It was terrible. We split the combo platter for $32 with tax. This included 3 fried scallops, a few pieces of fried haddock, shrimp and clams. They were out of clams so they doubled the shrimp which was a nice gesture. The fries that came with the plate were cold, burnt and soggy. Not sure how you get that combo but it was so bad. Not to mention there were barely any fries in our basket! Honestly maybe a small handful. We had to dig to the very bottom to even find the fries. At first we thought they forgot them! They did a large remodel over the winter season so I was expecting the same quality and portions as last year but improved! We were SADLY disappointed. We were also looking forward to bringing our parents here this summer when they visit. Needless to say we'll be skipping over that idea. So sad that this cute local staple has...

The food was fine, but the little things were overlooked. There were three people in our party, and food order for three people. When the food arrived, there were only 2 forks and the lemonade that was ordered turned out to be water since the fountain was out of the lemonade. We ordered one large and one small lobster dinner for two of us, but when we got them it was really hard to tell them apart. This isn't really a problem, next time we will know to save $10 and just order the small. We had to ask for dressing for the salad that was ordered, and while some crackers for the lobster shells were supplied, there weren't any other utensils that were helpful to dig out the lobster meat. The lobster was good, the fries were good, and my cole slaw was good. My wife's cole slaw might have been from an earlier batch and was really not good.(yes, I tried hers too). All in all, we will be better prepared with utensils when we visit again. We will stick to the small dinner, or try something else, there are a lot of choices...
