I read a review about the burgers taking (one) back in time and so...off we went...I had a cheeseburger and asked for all the toppings. What I got was a screen turned so toward me so I could choose from the huge listing of options. I decided on grilled onions mushrooms, tomato... my other half chose a Philly cheese steak, onion rings and we both ordered shakes. Now, originally from Boston ( I always say up here don't hold that against me lol) a milk shake doesn't have ice cream. A frappe does. And so does a cabinet if one is from Rhode Island. (?) Our shakes arrived (with ice cream) and our sandwiches a mere minute after. The entire meal was excellent! The whole time we spent there, although close to closing time, the counter and grill were hopping to fill call in orders. The service was great; the signs are funny and well done! Did it take me back in memories to when (my) dad would take off his suit coat, tuck his tie into his shirt and dig into his burger? Yes, a little. The only difference was I was seated at a table and not at the counter as was years ago. Well done! See you again soon!!

Don't miss the food at Frye House! Two other things NOT to do. 1. Don't fail to order the seafood stew. 2. Don't trust Yelp's Map function to find it! (At least with an iPhone) My experience with it was to be taken 10 miles off track to a rural, purely residential location.

Great food and excellent service at a good price. About six months ago, I ordered a cheeseburger for the first time at the Frye House. That first bite transported me back to 1965, when my sister would save her lunch money to buy a hamburger after school and split it with me. I never thought I could get that quality again. The brioche bun was rich and tender, the hamburger meat was juicy (and actually hot!), and the toppings were crisp and cold. It's so good. I have introduced a few people to Frye House's food and each one was pleasantly surprised. I'm told that their haddock chowder is incredible. But I'll stick with my usual order of a cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate shake for now!

Always did a competitor. However they were closed for the season. WOW! This place rocks fried clams, scallops, haddock, and shrimp. We visit this area once or twice every year. Currently retired and living in Texas. AMAZING!

We just finished lunch at the Frye House, a casual restaurant. We ordered a hamburger, clam roll, onion rings, fries and drinks. The food was cooked to order and excellent. The clams were amazingly sweet and light - without the slightest hint of sand or odor. The burger and fries were hot, fresh, and very good. The onion rings were light and crispy. You can tell that the small restaurant was amazingly clean the moment you walked in the door because it smelled fresh and was neat and orderly. The service was friendly and professional. The prices were very competitive. In fact, it was by far the least expensive of the area. We'll definitely be back.

Frye House is a great option for people like myself who choose not to patronize the other popular chicken/seafood restaurant in the area. Convenient to state offices and other businesses, this place was busy when I picked up my order, but service was still friendly and fast. My chicken basket was hot and delicious. It did taste like it was fried in the same oil as the seafood, which didn't bother me, but if that's not your thing, or you have an allergy, it might not be the best for you.

My daughter raves about the wings here so I thought I'd give them a try. Keep in mind, right now the Nation is in the grips of the COVID-19 pandemic, so they had curbside and take out service only (yay! I didn't have to cook or leave the car). We ordered a pound of teriyaki wings and waited in the car as they were being prepared. After a bit they were delivered to us curbside by a friendly little chap whom I assume was the owners son. He was even kind enough to run back in for an ice water for me. It was worth the wait! The one pound of wings was the perfect portion for my daughter and I to share. I think we got about 8 nice plump meaty wings fries to crunchy perfection and glazed with their sweet, sticky, tangy teriyaki sauce. Not too gooey but not too stingy either. The wings were juicy and perfectly fried they had that satisfying crunch when you bit in and seasoned perfectly. They came with a cool refreshing ranch dressing on the side. You're gonna lick your fingers and wish you ordered more. Pandemic or not this is a kick-ass wing joint! I highly recommend. I'm going back to try all their wing varieties.

When one gets a craving for fried seafood and lobster rolls, one MUST have fried seafood and lobster rolls. But on a Monday night in Augusta we found ourselves scrambling because Red Barn and Sandy point were closed. Good ole Yelp to the rescue! The Frye house came up in our search and had really good reviews, a few from elites so I deemed it trustworthy. TA DA! An amazing meal we had! Fried clams Lobster rolls Seafood Stew. Everything was good but the stew was AMAZING. Sometimes I find stews to be bland- it's like a missed alley-oop- the seafood is there, you have cream, but some places just don't season it well and it's so disappointing. Not at the Frye House! It was well season and the cream base had a good seafood flavor to it, not to mention HUGE chunks of lobster, scallops, shrimp and haddock. No potatoes or other stupid fillers to get in the way of hot seafood creamy goodness.

This is a wing review. That's what I ordered. Teriyaki wings are very good. Mild is mild and blazing hot is mild to medium. They gave us a pile of onion rings. I like them a little crispier but they were good. I want to try their shrimp next. Will be back. Great service.
