My wife and I ate lunch here every day when we stayed at the Cliff House for four days. The lobster rolls with fries and a side of Cole slaw were great, as were the beef hot dogs. There was an extensive menu, but we limited ourselves to those items. You can easily bring your food outside to the picnic tables or sit indoors and still look out at the ocean. Very relaxing. Plus there is a full bar where you can get soft drinks, wine, beer or liquor. This is not inexpensive, but it's a very nice place for lunch and the food was good.

Outstanding Experience! The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor, and the service was just as impressive—friendly, attentive, and professional from start to finish. Every dish was prepared with care and arrived perfectly presented. A truly enjoyable dining experience—I’ll definitely be returning soon!

We really enjoy this place on a summer day. It's great to sit outside and enjoy the terrific views. The food is solid. You get a generous amount of lobster with the lobster tots dish!

We were at the cliff House for a stay and chose to go for dinner at Nubb’s Lobster Shack. We ordered crispy chicken wings, vegetarian sandwich and chicken wrap. All these foods were delicious!

Had never heard of Nubb's before, but it came highly recommended from a friend so I had to try it; it didn't disappoint. I ordered a lobster roll (the CT way: hot with butter) and it was delicious. The fries that it came with were arguably even better, but the star was still the roll and I'll be back to try one the Maine way. (Additionally, the view of the ocean is incredible. )

We booked a sea floor which was a wonderful experience. Private while cliffside. Crashing waves, salty air, while eating delicious food and having wonderful service. Even had a Bluetooth speaker to play your own music.

As a guest at the Cliff House, Nubbs was a convenient choice for lunch by the pool! We shared the chicken tenders, which had a nice crunch from the cornflake breading. We also enjoyed the fries which had some old bay seasoning sprinkled on top. The smell of their cooking takes over the lower level of the resort and always had us hungry!

The traditional lobster rolls were great and the staff was very friendly. Only thing that didnt make it perfect was we were wanting to get a shirt for someone and they had no real stock of them.
