The Trap

★ 4.7 / 5 (839 reviews)

Perkins Cove’s seaside hideaway serves fresh, inventive seafood—poke, chowder, tempura, crab cakes and lobster rolls—paired with a sun-drenched patio and sweeping ocean views. Friendly, attentive staff and a relaxed, tucked-away vibe make it ideal for families, couples and tourists; beer and wine are available and gluten-free options offered. Expect standout dishes alongside occasional inconsistencies (bread or shellfish prep) and some pricey items. Overall, a picturesque spot for al fresco dining, people-watching and memorable coastal flavors.

Great food, and the gluten free mango crab cakes and calamari are amazing! Lobster roll was delicious as well. Back porch is a wonderful hidden spot but sitting out front in the sun hits the spot as well.

My family and I got to visit on the last day they were open for the season. We had the crabcakes, tempura shrimp, poke, and the oyster roll. Everything was awesome and the location can't be beat. The patio has an ocean view or the seats out front are perfect for people watching. Good beers on tap too!

Best meal we had in our weekend trip to Ogunquit. We got a table outside, which let us enjoy a beautiful view. I would highly recommend the sweet crab cakes; some of the best I?ve had.
