The Trap opened in the spring of 2017 and its owners boast years of providing an intimate, family-run restaurant atmosphere. We are located in the quaint, yet rustic building located on the north side of Perkins Cove. Take a break from the classic Maine lobster dinners and fried clams and swing by The Trap to experience a new twist on fresh and creative seafood and more!
Enjoy your meal on our front patio and watch the bustling activity of Perkins Cove or sit out back and take in the views of the Atlantic ocean. We serve some of the most creative and fresh dishes in town, from salads and oysters to sandwiches and of course, lobster rolls. Come join us at one of the most treasured spots in Ogunquit that overlooks the ocean and the beautiful Marginal Way.

The building we occupy is owned by the Perkins family whose patriarch, Wayne Perkins passed away in the summer of 2016. Wayne had been a fixture in Perkins Cove his whole life, playing in and around the cove as a child, lobstering and raising a family here. He was also well respected as an elder in the fishing community and not too much happened without his knowledge and approval.

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!

This is a secret hideaway which my wife and I discovered as we walked the tiny streets of Perkins cove. This place is very safe! April the hostess greets you at the front door, hands you a menu and gives you few minutes to decide on what you would like to eat and drink. Then you proceed inside to place your order. Once you place your order and pay you are seated . We sat outside overlooking the sea. We had a selection of items which were all top quality, fresh and delicious! Haddock and clam chowder had good amount of seafood, and tasted like the sea…it didn’t have bacon and heavy cream to

Had a lovely late lunch! There is beautiful seating in the back which could definitely be a wait if you go at the wrong time.
I ordered and paid at the front and happened to get a table out back! I had a delicious local beer and lobstah roll. It came with pasta salad which was good (peas and very little mayo). All the staff was friendly and helpful and the vibe was easygoing with fun music. I can definitely recommend and would go back!

I have been waiting to try out this restaurant after visiting Perkins Cove a few times. They are the sister company to The Lobster Shack right next door.
We were looking for a quick place to eat lunch with a view. The seating if available is right on the beach over looking the ocean... Just beautiful.
The menu is a great mix of what you expect to find in Maine and some other nice modern additions. The Hawaiian Poke Bowl caught my eye! My wife got the crab cakes.
The crab cakes were ok, not our best that we have had in Maine, but still pretty good. The Poke bowl was delicious and fresh. Think
