Good food , worth the wait. We had fresh seafood prepared as it should . I would go back . Not cheap but very good. Soups were excellent. Blueberry pie was exceptional.

The helpful staff chose a live lobster for me, which they steamed. I took it back to my condo to crack and prepare the sides. It was a complete hit. Delicious. Best I've had. Economical? I'd say so; $9.00! I recommend highly.

Ya gotta hit the Clam Shack when you're in Kennebunkport, it's such an institution. Hit or miss how long the line is, on the Sunday afternoon we visited, it was quite the wait. On a nice day, the picnic seating is a very pleasant place to hang. The lobster rolls are a little unusual, and were not the best lobster rolls we had in town. On the positive side, they included some tail meat as well as the usual knuckle and claw, which was a fun change of pace. They also had just a bit of crunch from a few small pieces of finely diced celery, which was a nice subtle addition. The hamburger style rolls are ok, just very different than your usual Maine lobster roll. Liked their slaw, which came with the lunch box, very much. The fries were fine, nothing special.

This is my favorite spot to get a lobster roll on the East coast. Every time I'm in Boston I take a trip up to the quaint town of Kennebunkport and HAVE to stop here. Service is great, and the food is fresh!

I don't know how they do it, but this was the best lobster roll I've had during my northeast coast vacation. I ordered it with butter and mayo. Perfect amount of mayo, just enough to complement the lobster. Speaking of lobster, the pieces were large and plenty. Order at "The Shack," get a buzzer, pick up at a window when ready. Plenty of tables to sit around and beer on draft.

If you want the best casual seafood of your summer vacation, look no further than The Clam Shack in Kennebunk, Maine. This was in our sights even before we left Manhattan for Maine. Its reputation preceded it, and our expectations were high. All of those were exceeded. It's casual so don't show up expecting sit down service with the good silverware. Rather expect friendly and prompt service that gets you exactly what you came to Maine for: QUALITY LOBSTER! Lobster rolls are great, and we had to try the chowder, even though it was fairly warm out. We were not disappointed. The blueberry handpie is also worth getting. We didn't ask if they were locally made with blueberries being in season. The taste reassured us we did not have to ask. The market price of lobster dictates the price of the rolls. I believe it was about $31 bucks when we went. It was worth it. Sit outside and enjoy Summer in New England with an experience like The Clam Shack!

We came on a Friday around 11:30. There were about 15 people in line. The line moved fairly quickly. We ordered a lobster roll to split with BOTH (mayo + butter... IYKYK), a clam cake, fries and fresh lemonade. Our total was around $60... which was much less than everyone else around us. There were larger groups of friends and family and the totals being called out were averaging $150-$225 which is bananas for lunch where you are not actually being waited on. That being said, the food was great. I did have to add salt to the fries though. The lemonade was awesome - definitely order! We took our food to the inside area to sit at one of the few tables they have. Most of the tables are outside. P.s. if you order a lobster roll, you get a button with the style you ordered it in.

Great and fast service! We saw this place on YouTube. It's very good. We got 1/2 pint of the clam strips and 2 lobster rolls. They were okay. Certainly not the best in the nation as advertised. The clam strips weren't very hot when we got them. We enjoyed the tartar and cocktail sauces. This place is pretty expensive. Our lunch was what is listed plus a bottle of water and a soda. $112 with tip. It's a decent place, the lobster rolls have pieces from all parts of the lobster, which is nice. They are very meaty and filling. The butter and mayo were pretty skimpy.
