Reviews for Mike's Clam Shack in Wells, ME
Fried food was without a doubt very fresh.they were very busy,but we got our food reasonably quick.the good? Drinks were... great.friendly service.haddock and scallops were very fresh.large portion size also the bad? While the fried goods were qualityprotein and not overcooked,the breading was really underwhelming.from scallop,to tender,to haddock,to o ring... Wellexecuted.but very bland.salt couldn't save it.fries were frozen,which for the price is kinda lame.that being said,I'll beback.food was good,service was curious and we had a good time.id say my biggest negative would come from how terrible the Coleslaw was.seafood restaurants should have that perfected.i cook for a bar and mine puts theirs to shame.im not trying to saymines anything special but that's how sad the slaw was.clean oil .food was cooked right.just maybe a pinch more spice and 20 secmore in the fryer for a lil more color and your be seeing a 5 star.very impressed tho for how much volume they were doing at thetime Read more
Was told they have the best lobster around, so we came here. Fish and chips and sweet potato fries were high quality, but they... need to have some kind of special dipping sauce to bring it up a level. Their corn on the cob was low quality, and the kid'spizza was practically inedible. My son who normally loves pizza only ate one slice. Thankfully they made it up to him with afree mac and cheese and french fries. It's nice they have a take out window. Read more
Absolutely the best clam chowder ever! Lobster roll was stuffed full. I drove all the way from Texas because a friend said it... was the best. I was not disappointed, it was worth the trip. Read more
We have been coming to Mike's for YEARS and always very happy with our food. The Lobster Stew is basically a full lobster (or... more) in a cup and if you're eating in, you NEED to order the Lobster Mac and Cheese.... I'm forever ordering takeout though soI can hit the beach, watch the waves, and stuff my face full of that Stew and fried seafood. Seriously the best way to enjoy ameal on the Maine Coast. Read more
Great place and great food. Lots of seating with a quiet dining section and pub section with lots of tvs. Fast and friendly... service. I had the surf n turf which was awesome and reasonably priced. Read more
Meal was delicious and we also arrived fairly late on opening day but staff were super friendly and we didn't feel rushed at... all. Nice menu but choose a special, salmon dinner. Salmon was perfectly cooked. A great first experience and it won't be mylast. Read more
Great atmosphere friendly waitstaff delicious food, it is pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. Lobster Mac and Cheese... was exceptional I had about 5 full size claws and some chunks mixed in with the creamy Mac and cheese. My other half got thefried clams medium portion with onion rings which was a great amount of both. Will definitely be back Read more
This is a "must" for the bucket list. The BEST clam chowder / lobster stew in the state of Maine in my opinion. The dinners are... fantastic. It's so hard to choose between all the amazing options. They get 10 * from me!!! Read more
