Ne'r Beach Motel: CONTROVERSIAL MOTEL

Ne'r Beach Motel: CONTROVERSIAL MOTEL, Wells

 Rich62 Says:  didn't stay there contoversy, apparently.It seems this motel made the national news a couple of years ago, because of reviews written about it. Some of the reviews were glowingly positive, others were terribly negative. There were accusations that management had written... 

Restaurants  

Yank's Franks: Delicious Hot Dogs! Great restaurant!

Yank's Franks: Delicious Hot Dogs!  Great restaurant!, Wells

 HotDogGirl Says:  If you love great hot dogs, you're going to love Yank's Franks on Route 1 in Wells, Maine. Yank's grills its dogs and serves them on a buttered grilled roll. (They'll actually steam your dog if you prefer, but if you want a real taste sensation definitely go grilled.) They... 

BILLY'S CHOWDER HOUSE: SEAFOOD BY THE SEA

BILLY'S CHOWDER HOUSE: SEAFOOD BY THE SEA, Wells

 Rich62 Says:  A BIT PRICIER THAN SOME, BUT PLENTY GOOD and in good surroundings too. It overlooks the Rachael Carson Wildlife Refuge, and also Wells Harbor. I don't remember, that was several years ago. However, people writing reviews seems to especially like their lobster stew and their... 

Big Daddy's: Ice Cream and/or hot dogs

Big Daddy's: Ice Cream and/or hot dogs, Wells

 Rich62 Says:  Very good ice cream, about 35 flavors from which to choose. My friend had a hot dog and it looked good also. I had some sort of coffee-flavored (jamoca?) ice cream, which was delicous. 

The Maine Diner: Don't waste your time or your money

The Maine Diner: Don't waste your time or your money, Wells

 lamarquess Says:  We heard mixed reviews of their restaurant and checked out the views online. We decided to go anyway. There is nothing special about this place and the food is lousy. They make a big deal about their "homecooking" but sadly, no, the food is the pits. And the staff, I don't... 

Litchfields Restaurant: Drive by and do not stop

Litchfields Restaurant: Drive by and do not stop, Wells

 lisamay Says:  The parking lot was empty in the summer and that should have been a tip to not go in. The service was friendly but the food was terrible. Portions were very small and my shrimp was not fully cooked. They refused to take the plate back and correct the problem. The best tip I... 

Litchfields: Disappointed

Litchfields: Disappointed, Wells

 SteveOSF Says:  We traveled the main drag of Wells and selected this place for dinner. They had a talented pianist providing pleasant background music. The service was fine. However, the food was a disappointment. In the event we hit had a bad night, I'll just say that the food was... 

Maine Diner: Popular and crowded but worth it

Maine Diner: Popular and crowded but worth it, Wells

 Minstrelette Says:  If you go in the summer, expect a wait up to an hour. It's worth it though. While you're waiting, you can check out the gift shop next door- they give you a beeper for when a table's available. The service is quick though, so once you get a table, you won't have a long wait...

 This is the world's largest lighthouse gift shop, or so they claim, and I believe them! Its about a half hour south of Portland (Maine) on Route 1, or about 20 minutes north of the Kittery outlet...
