Fantastic place for excellent food! Casual and relaxed place with patron friendly prices and excellent portions. Their ice cream is amazing too! We love going here often! PS! Be aware they do not serve hamburgers or cheese burgers.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jake and Niki Styger · Sep 2025

This place is a must! We love the lobster rolls, Mac & Cheese bites and the Clam Chowder. Oh, don’t forget the ICE CREAM!! They have so many ice cream options and we’ve loved the flavors we gotten! One hint! Get there early because the place gets busy!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Joe Murphy · Sep 2025

Very cool place with good food, super low prices and fantastic ice cream. We had fried haddock sandwich, hot dog, chili fries and haddock dippers. Less than $30 and food was very good. Topped it was some of the creamiest ice cream ever. Highly recommend.

Absolutely Excellent! Shain’s of Maine is a hidden gem that delivers on all fronts—quality, value, and variety! The food is excellent and surprisingly affordable. Portions are just right—not too much, not too little—and everything is packed with flavor. The lobster roll is fresh and perfectly prepared, the whole belly clams are a seafood lover’s dream, and there’s plenty for land lovers too! Whether you’re craving comfort food or a hearty New England classic, Shain’s has it covered. And don’t even get me started on the desserts—the ice cream pies and sundaes are next level! This place is a must-visit whether you’re a local or just passing through. Can’t wait to go back!

Ordering was a breeze, and I got my food quickly. Everything was warm and incredibly tasty. I also really appreciated the reasonable prices. Feel free to ignore the picture—while the lobster roll was even larger, I couldn't wait, and it turned out to be fantastic.
