One of the best seafood restaurants on the Seacoast. Best lobster bisque. Period. Portions were awesome, butter was everywhere it should be, all the fish was super fresh and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the lemon pepper scallops. None of us have ever had something like that and we all agreed they were delicious and unique. Baked haddock, baked salmon, and fried seafood medley all were exactly as you'd want it.
Have been coming to this institution every time I am in Rye over the past 20 years. Simply one of the best lobster roll in the country. And believe me I have tried them all from Maine to Maryland.
Had an outstanding time at Ray's Seafood! The jumbo lobster roll was awesome! Also had scallops, and the jumbo stuffed lobster! Great service and atmosphere on the second floor! Thank you.
Stopped in on a Saturday for lunch. Parked on the street as the modest lot was already full. The restaurant has an upstairs level with nice views of the ocean and a downstairs level as well. Also, a full bar area. We enjoyed the senior plate of fish and chips and were very pleased with the quantity and quality of the food. I especially liked the coleslaw and tartar sauce. Prices are reasonable for being right on the coast, and service was okay. A wide variety of seafood choices are available, and there are clean restrooms for customers. Even a small gift shop. Overall, I would go back as I think this is a nice local joint.
I went on a Sunday I had a special 4 inch lobster roll with sweet potato fries and an iced tea, all my food was delicious I was waited on almost as soon as I sat down and my food came within 10 minutes, the upstairs seating was a very relaxed atmosphere with comfortable seating and all specials were displayed and easily seen. The food was generously portioned and my waitress was very polite. The decor was very nautical all around. There is a wheelchair entrances throughout and parking was not as problem. Takeout is also available. The wide menu of seafood is easy to read on a paper placemat. The restaurant also has outdoor seating that overlooks the ocean that is open on weather agreeable days. I would go here again.
6 of us and quickly accommodated. Delightfully surprised by their excellent lobster artichoke dip! Wide range of orders and all good! Lobster roll, fried clams, fried lobster, stuffed whole lobster, and more. Really good!
Enjoyed the Haddock very much. Might try the seafood bake next time. Didn't have enough money with me, and it was over 40.
Woah mama what a freaking lobster roll. You can tell it's gonna be good from the road but if anything they over-delivered on the promise made by the hundreds of carved wooden lobster decorations on the outside. Surprise smash hit was the crab cakes though, didn't expect that to be such a game changer for us but they were unbelievable. Spend the extra couple of bucks on the jumbo lobster roll, I could barely walk outta there. All tail and claw meat too, class act!
