Customer Reviews
The fish and chips here are AMAZING!! The fish is so fresh. Server said they literally cut the fish right before the cooked it. Batter wasn’t too heavy or too light, perfectly seasoned. The staff was super nice and spicy margarita was amazing! I think it might be the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Fries are cooked 3 times which is the best! We travel constantly and had lots. If we’re ever back here this place will be revisited. Thank you again for the great food, atmosphere and hospitality.
This is a little gem of a place. I was in Old Orchard Beach for a week and had the best meal at The Shack!🦞. I had The Farmers salad and the steamed lobster. The food was so fresh! Prices were reasonable. So happy I stopped in. When I go back to O.O.B. next year I will be eating at The Shack every night 😊
Unfortunately, this is one of the only places that stays open late. It was very frustrating that there was absolutely no parking anywhere around for this restaurant. There is no street parking, and everything around it is owned by the hotels. I tried to park and couldn't find anything. I had to go a few streets over to the park to park. I felt uncomfortable because there were a lot of homeless people, and I didn't feel like my car was safe. I parked there anyway and then walked several blocks, but I couldn't turn the direction of the restaurant because there is a train track that goes through it with a fence on both sides. After walking for 10 minutes, I turned around and went and got my car. I finally offered to pay one of the hotels to park in their parking lot, and they hesitantly agre
The atmosphere is a shack. The prices are a mansion 😂. Decent food and service. They were very busy yet still gave us good service. Order taken promptly and food was out quickly. Definitely a good place to eat. $29. Lobster roll was very very good. Seafood combo we got scallops and whole bellies which were good. Oddly shaped scallops I believe they cut large scallops in half before breading. Idk but they were odd pancake shape. Very tasty though. $18 poutine was good and plentiful. $7 corona beer.
Season is definitely over when we visited The Shack. Got right in, plenty of parking amusement park closed as was some of the other restaurants. Hubs and I split a lobster roll, Caesar salad and clam chowder. Chowder was perfectly seasoned, salad was plentiful and roll was tender. It was our first we ever had so wasn’t sure what to expect. I think I was expecting the lobster to be warm instead of chilled. But regardless, it was super tender and perfect. All the staff was super friendly and seemed to love working there. Always a good sign ☺️
