Jackie’s Too is a beautiful restaurant at 91 Perkins Cove in Ogunquit, Maine. It is located where the Marginal Way walking trail begins and ends. Jackie’s Too is a casual dining restaurant with fresh seafood and award-winning chowder that is open year round for lunch and dinner. Very few restaurants in the cove are open year round as the winters can be difficult. Believe it or not, we had a 70-degree day a few weeks ago and Jim and I decided to take full advantage of it and take a walk on the Marginal Way and have lunch after at Jackie’s Too!
The first thing you notice when walking into Jackie’s Too is all the windows overlooking the ocean, I don’t think there is a bad seat in the house! In the summer they also have outside seating. We finished our walk right when Jackie’s Too was opening so we got right in and were seated at a window seat looking out at the ocean, and it was just beautiful! After reviewing the menu and placing our order we had warm rolls with butter brought to the table and before we knew it our lunch had arrived!
I ordered something called Jackie’s Favorite, how could I not? I’m at Jackie’s Restaurant I had to order her favorite! This dish did not disappoint. It is shrimp, sea scallops and haddock broiled in lemon butter and tossed with seasoned crumbs. Served with rice and steamed vegetables. $21.95. The seafood was seasoned nicely and cooked perfectly. Everything was juicy and tender. The scallops were amazing!
Jim ordered the fried haddock sandwich with fries and coleslaw. They certainly don’t skimp on their sandwiches. It was a large piece of haddock nicely fried to golden perfection. Excellent fish sandwich. Fries and coleslaw were a nice addition but without a doubt, the sandwich was the star of the plate and there was not a crumb left on Jim’s plate! Very good! $12.95.
We rarely order dessert but we were really excited about a 70-degree day in the middle of February in New England. So we had to order the brownie hot fudge sundae! One sundae, two spoons! Perfect ending to a delicious lunch. $7.95.
Jackie’s Too has a lot to pick from although most of the menu as you would expect does revolve around the amazing local seafood. If you have someone that is not a fan or has allergies to seafood don’t worry as they have lots of other options too.They have chicken wings and nachos as appetizers. Lots of hamburger, salad and sandwich options along with steak tips and grilled chicken choices!
Let’s talk a little more about the menu. Starting with soup. They offer two soup choices…New England Clam Chowder and Lobster Bisque. I noticed while we were there a number of people ordered the chowder so I’m thinking it must be good! They have a number of salad choices but there was one salad that I know I will be having on our next visit. It is the crispy goat cheese and ricotta ball salad with mixed greens, toasted nuts, caramelized shallots and dried fruit served with a sweet mustard vinaigrette. Sounds amazing right?
Along with the lobster and various seafood dishes they also have a few pasta choices. Again, there was one of the pasta dishes that jumped out at me, well…ok, two pasta dishes! The Lobster Alfredo and the Seafood Fettuccine with salted lobster, sea scallops, and shrimp tossed in their own garlic Parmesan cream sauce over fettuccine. Needless to say, we will be back and if you want more information they do have a website that includes their menu and prices. They are on Facebook as well, so go ahead and give them a like and check them out. Don’t forget to take a walk on the beautiful marginal way.
Note – We like to visit this area in the spring and early fall as the summer months get very crowded and parking can be an issue.
Enjoy!
