The food was ok. The lobster roll was a little lobster on a toasted hamburger bun. Not much effort went into making it compared to others I’ve had. The line was long. The staff worked hard but I believe overwhelmed due to the crowd. I think it’s more for tourists like me now. I wouldn’t go back. Too many other options.

Excellent shack to grab a lobster roll! Service is friendly, food is delicious. Worth the money and the wait. Waits can be long do to the consistent stream of tour busses that drop off too many people. Aside from that, great place!

We have been coming to The Clam Shack for 11 years on vacation. We brought our 4 year old son today and the staff could not have been any nicer. No doubt the best lobster roll that I’ve ever had. They give you the tail meat and big juicy pieces! Not stingy at all. Steamer clams are fresh and delicious. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner today and he was awesome! Without a doubt, our favorite place in Maine!

We heard about this on YouTube, had to check it out. It was raining on and off on our day but it didn't stop us. I have to say from a whole meal the whole belly clams we're the best. The chowder was very good. The lobster roll was nothing to write home about it was the smallest we had in our visit in Maine, it was good but I wanted mine with just butter and there was no butter on it. But overall great experience except for the parking. 37.00 for 2 hours!

Highly recommended by our family. Went during our day trip to Maine. We arrived early had lunch and dinner this day. The food was hot and delicious. We ordered lobster roll (served on buns. Not lobster toaster bread) onion rings, fried clams, a medium lobster, served with their local draft beer. Line was short when we ordered but grew about 30-40 min after we sat. Try it you’ll love it.
