Excellent shack to grab a lobster roll! Service is friendly, food is delicious. Worth the money and the wait. Waits can be long do to the consistent stream of tour busses that drop off too many people. Aside from that, great place!

We heard about this on YouTube, had to check it out. It was raining on and off on our day but it didn’t stop us. I have to say from a whole meal the whole belly clams we’re the best. The chowder was very good. The lobster roll was nothing to write home about it was the smallest we had in our visit in Maine, it was good but I wanted mine with just butter and there was no butter on it. But overall great experience except for the parking. 37.00 for 2 hours!

Highly recommended by our family. Went during our day trip to Maine. We arrived early had lunch and dinner this day. The food was hot and delicious. We ordered lobster roll (served on buns. Not lobster toaster bread) onion rings, fried clams, a medium lobster, served with their local draft beer. Line was short when we ordered but grew about 30-40 min after we sat. Try it you’ll love it.

Kind of expensive, but service is efficient and speedy, and the food is quite fresh and good.

We had the fried clams and the lobster sandwich “box” (the box version adds fries, cole slaw, and a couple pickle chips). And the blueberry hand pie is delicious!

I cannot say enough great things about The Clam Shack! It was far and away the best meal on our recent trip to Maine. We got lobster rolls, some fried seafood, and clam chowder, which were all so fresh and carefully made. Don’t sleep on the frozen drinks either! You can totally tell this is a family run operation that prioritizes incredible hospitality and thoughtfully made food. All non-Clam Shack lobster rolls are ruined for me now. Theirs are that good. I cannot wait to come back!!

Looked touristy but was wonderful! We got the lobster roll deal box, and shared between the two of us. Fries were crisp, pickle was fresh and tasted homemade, Cole slaw was actually decent, and the lobster roll was definitely the best I’ve had. So fresh and tender, not at all rubbery. Slightly disappointed in the bun, it was nothing special and like a hamburger bun versus a roll. Prices are high-ish but to be expected at a lobster roll joint in busy Kennebunkport in July! We had no wait and walked right up to the shack. Our food was ready shortly and there was plenty of clean, shaded seating. Lines could be worse on weekends or sunnier days, we snuck in right before a storm hit so folks were leaving. Lovely spot for photos. Inside, there are some souvenirs and staff let us hold a lobster. They don’t do a whole lot but what they do I think they do well. With these prices and limited menu, I think it would not be a great place to feed a whole family, however.

First time visiting Kennebunkport so I had to try a lobster roll from The Clam Shack. The lobster was good and I was given a “butter” pin to keep based off of my order which was very cute. I thought the lobster would be served warm but it was cold. They had plenty of seating available with picnic tables outside of the shack that are sectioned off nicely by lobster traps.

Im still dreaming about the lobster roll i had here. it was in a bun vs a roll and it made it so much easier to eat and get all the flavors! The staff was so friendly and there was plenty of seating by the water. i ordered the blueberry hand pie as well, and it was so yummy. 10/10 worth visiting in maine!!

Overpriced tourist trap. I paid $83 today for one lobster roll (just the roll, no sides), a half pint of whole clams and 2 bottles of water. Asked for both butter and mayo on the lobster roll, came with just mayo, on a hamburger bun. Very small amount of lobster which was very tough and hard to chew. Clams were tiny and the tartar sauce was Ken’s. Don’t waste your time or money-there are so many better places to eat in the area.

They have the best lobster rolls in our entire Maine trip, period! I was really pleased with my lobster rolls. I wish I know about the side seatings. 10/10, would definitely come back for the lobster rolls!
