Reviews for The Clam Shack in Kennebunk, ME
The experience was amazing. The food was awesome. There's always a queue. The place is quite famous and you should expect that.... I tried the lobster roll with mayo and butter. But I would rather eat that only with butter. It was amazing. You may see thatthe portions are small, but they are quite filling. The fries are fun to eat. The clam strip roll was also great. Unlike someother places it was not dripping oil. So overall the drive was worth the experience. Read more
Really clean restaurant. Americana vives. Employees seem happy to be there. Fries were a bit burned and had zero salt and the... tiny ketchup packets annoying but the fried haddock sandwich was very good (even better if they would include a lemon wedge tosquirt on it). $2 extra for gluten free bun and $1 for refill on lemonade seems petty with the high prices ($31 for smalllemonade, fries and fish sandwich) but hey, at least they pay their employees closer to a living wage. On weekends you can enjoylive music wafting from joint next door. Be nicer if they had their own beach chill lounge music. Not really Into old 80?s rocksongs like Footloose. Only reason I give critiques is because this place is special overall but could be perfect. Read more
If you can't go to Maine you bring Maine to you. Ordered the Lobster Roll kit for four and it was super delicious!!! Everything... you need comes so nicely packaged. Fresh lobster, rolls, butter, mayo, lemon, napkins, buttons and stickers. Perfect!!! Read more
Everyone comes here for the lobster rolls, which are decent. However, one of their unsung amazing menu items is their clam... strips (not the whole fried clams which are also tasty, but the strips in particular)! Dear lord have mercy, they are so good. Ihaven?t had clam strips or fried clams anywhere else that even compare. The texture and moisture levels are perfect, and theflavor of the batter compliments the clams nicely. My husband loves this place. We usually beat the crowd and go around 11am, wesometimes don?t even have to wait. Lemonade here is also delicious, it?s hand shaken real lemonade and compliments the seafoodwonderfully. Read more
The Clam Shack is my all-time favorite lobster roll. Hands down. Period. There is truly no competition on the East Coast, let... alone, Maine. I have tried lobster rolls all throughout New England, and still? nothing compares. I wait all winter for thefirst true taste of summer at The Clam Shack. Always order your lobster roll with ?BOTH? ? butter and mayo? it?s award winning.I?m not kidding. Look it up! Your search for the best lobster roll, ever, comes to a stop, here. Everything from their friedseafood, their onion rings to their fresh squeezed lemonade are well worth the wait and the price. It?s not cheap? but that?snot what this review is about, so be prepared to spend a dime or two. It. Is. Worth. It!! Read more
This is a nice location in main, very busy spot. The lobster roll was ok. I had mines with butter, the lobster meat temperature... was on the colder side. I Preffer my lobster warm. There's a good amount of seating space, its a nice relaxing environment. Read more
Best lobster roll I've ever had! The roll is basic but very high quality - the best parts of the lobster, butter, and mayo on a... soft, lightweight roll. It doesn't need anything else. It's delicious!! Read more
I can see why this place has a line. Well worth it. Had the fried clams and the lobster roll. Both so great and there was so... much lobster on the roll and the clams were delish. Great low key place to have great food and beverage Read more
