Mabel’s Lobster Claw is hands-down my favorite place to eat in Maine. From the moment you step inside, the cozy, welcoming atmosphere wraps around you like a warm hug. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the food… absolutely unforgettable. I ordered the clam chowder, and my husband had the Seafood Newburg — both dishes were perfection. Rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every bite reminded us why this spot is so loved by locals and visitors alike.

This is classic New England seafood done right — comforting, fresh, and delicious. But a word to the wise: make reservations ahead of time. This place stays booked and busy, and for very good reason. With its warm hospitality, coastal charm, and exceptional food, Mabel’s Lobster Claw isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a Maine experience. Five stars simply isn’t enough.

They take reservations but also seat walking in the front porch or bar. Friendly server. WiFi. Decent lobster roles and onion rings but wouldn’t get the Mac cheese again.

Parking is a nightmare but everything after that was wonderful. Our server, Jennifer, was superlative. Great personality and the desired amount of attentiveness. Our cocktails were enjoyable. We got a Maine Blueberry lemonade and a coconut Margarita. The appetizer stuffed mushrooms are crazy good! Stuffed with lobster stuffing, roasted red peppers, and Provolone. It come with two large mushrooms in a cast iron pan. Perfect for 2 to share. The entrees we got were the Duke, which was scallops / shrimp / haddock / lobster / garlic wine served in a cast iron pan. This came with rice, I subbed fries, and veg. My dining companion got Mabel’s baked stuffed lobster, which was stuffed with scallops / shrimp / bacon / creamy clam stuffing. Both meals were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this spot.

The food was mostly decent. I haven’t had so many lobster rolls yet, but the few i’ve tried were better than what we had here. Pasta was good, not overcooked. It had plenty of lobster. Fried fish was fresh. The most disappointing thing was the blueberry pie, which was served cold! That was atrocious. This places is around 4.3-4.4 starts and it does have some character. I would try it again if the pie wasn’t cold! (I did wonder if pie should be served warm… or maybe it’s just me, so asked ChatGPT, which confirmed that in Maine it’s usually served warm.)

I went here twice for dinner during my stay in Kennebunkport. Both meals were AMAZING! The Seafood Newburg was life changing!

Enjoyed a hot buttered lobster roll, and a haddock sandwich Cajun style and it did not disappoint.

This cute restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating and has been visited by lots of famous people including George Bush. Pictures and articles inside are nostalgic.

Service was great. Food was yummy. Walking distance to the Bay of Maine where the views are breathtaking.

Classic Maine vibes with a solid lobster roll.

Stopped in for lunch at Mabel’s while passing through Kennebunkport. I had the clam chowder and a buttered lobster roll. The chowder was solid—very traditional, creamy, with good flavor, though nothing particularly standout.

The lobster roll was the star: generous chunks of lobster, warm buttered bun, no unnecessary filler. Simple and well executed. It’s been my favorite roll so far this trip, and probably 4th best overall out of many I’ve tried over time.

Friendly service, classic Maine atmosphere—worth a stop if you’re in the area and want a dependable, no-frills lobster roll.

The food was excellent. Great crab cakes, lobster rolls, and the fish & chips could feed 2. Atmospheres was ok, nothing special. Service was friendly and prompt. Parking could be tricky at busy times.

We ordered takeout at the window because of the limited parking so I can’t speak on the atmosphere inside but the patio was nice. The lobster rolls were absolutely delicious and they came with tasty fries. The house tartar sauce was amazing and would recommend dipping your fries into it! The service however was slow at the window and not very friendly.

Very quaint local spot. Food was pretty solid but some of the portions were small, particularly the sides. We had the chicken sandwich and crab cakes with rice and coleslaw. Everything was decent but I wasn’t blown away. Interior decor is cute and staff was very attentive and friendly.
