  Since we arrived for our vacation I've said no to the lobster rolls offered at various places.
  
  Last night I ordered Jake's lobster roll. Perfection! Delicious buttered toasted roll, lots of lobster, subtle mayo flavor, very fresh lettuce.
  
  Excellent service by Ashley too.
  
  Thank you Jake's!

  Poor service ruined what was otherwise a great meal.
  
  Pros:  Incredibly good Lobster!  And lots of it for $20.00.  Great deal.  Interesting decor, kind off a 50's vibe.  A great patio, kind of a beach party scene.
  
  Cons:  The service sucked.  First, we called for reservations, no, first come first served.  We got into a line outside.  No taking names, just wait in line (kind of stupid).  When we finally got inside, it was 2/3's empty.  What the heck?  Geeze, well at least that was over with.  We waited a good 20 minutes to even be greeted.  We had to flag down 1st one waitress, and when that didn't work, we flagged down the guy that seated us.  He apologized and said it was his fault he didn't tell our waiter.  STILL took another 10 minutes to see someone.  By then, I'm pissed and no matter how good to food, the experience is irredeemable.
  
  Food is great, service sucks.  Too many other great places to eat.

  Old Orchard Beach is a hopping place during the summwr months and it is dilled with many restraunts with a seafood flare. Jumping Jake's Seaford. located on Saco Avenue is one of those good ones. They have a large restaurant with a bar for those who want to stop by for a drink and perhaps an appetizer. There is also an outside dining patio for those who like to dine in the cool summer breeze. I ordered the steamed clams and a bowl of haddock chowder. Sometimes you can order steamers and they are a bit gritty, however the ones Jumping Jake's served were not. They tasted fresh and dull of that dresh seafood flavor. The haddock chowder was full of perfectly cooked flakey pieces of haddock and soft delicate  potatoes. They also have a fresh seafood market where you can purchase all your seafood delicacies, especially good old Maine lobster.  So, make sure to stop by Jumping Jake's in OOB for a state of Maine  seafood experience.

  We went to jumping jakes for the lobsters. They were delicious. I've never had a soft shell lobster before so it was great that we didn't need anything but our hands to crack them open. Chowder was tasty as well as the scallops. prices were pretty good too. Our only complaint was that we couldn't eat at the outside tables because we ordered take out and therefore couldn't order a couple beers to go with our lobsters. They definitely would've made a lot more money if they allowed us to. Instead we went somewhere else after for drinks.  I'd definitely be back for lobsters again!
