Lobster roll was great. The bread is very buttery and salty so that really set off the flavor. Everything else is fried. The scallops and fish were very tasty, lightly battered. Fries were decent. You sit outside and look out at the water so its very pretty! You can get your lobster roll hot or cold. Both ways were good. Fish was light and flaky. Everything was very very good.

Cute little seafood shack by the water. Food came out pretty quick. Gets busy so plan ahead. Good portions. Prices were good. Service was friendly. Lobster rolls and fries were AMAZING!!! Open air picnic tables by the water – so dinner with a view. Must visit!
10 out 10 recommend!

My husband and I shared a box of fried calamari and the batter was very light, fluffy and fresh tasting.The size was ample and the young adult who took our order was kind and efficient. The picnic tables all had umbrellas and were clean, the view of the harbor is very nice and they had classic pop music playing from their outdoor speakers which was fun to listen to. We will be back to try more on the large menu they offer.

We traveled from BUFFALO NY with a mission to find THE BEST lobster roll on the East Coast, and boy oh boy did we find it! We were in Boston for our son’s heart transplant testing and had asked around town where to go… every person we came in contact with told us to make the drive to Salem and eat at the Clam Shack!
From start to finish, the experience was perfect. The staff was phenomenal. Quick, attentive, and excited to answer all of our questions.
We order (2) brioche lobster rolls, the blue crab roll, and steamers. The broth and butter is to die for!
A big shout out to the owner who came and introduced himself and his 2 newly adopted daughters who were so sweet to our family. We can’t wait to make this a regular stop on our monthly Boston trips!
Run! Don’t walk, to the Clam Shack! 100/10

Great place if your craving good clam strips. They are cooked to perfection and I loved the salt added to the fries. I also appreciate the to-go packaging with holes to vent the steam. My meal did not get soggy at all.

Absolutely delicious food and amazing waterfront views. I haven’t had a good lobster roll in years, but the Clam Shack’s lobster roll was buttery heaven served on a perfectly sweet brioche bun All of the seafood my family ordered was fresh, great quality and beyond tasty. The portion sizes were great and all the food was affordable. Additionally, you can’t beat the breathtaking views of sunset on the water. There are great spots to walk around, take a seat and picnic all-around the area. Such a lovely spot, I highly recommend paying a visit! 🙂

What a great little place by the water! The lobster rolls were actually the best one I’ve ever had! I got it on a brioche bun with the butter instead of mayo. Fried clams and clam chowder was delicious and even the french fries were really great and nice and hot! Coleslaw was excellent as well! Highly recommend this place!
