We stopped by here after a walk down Marginal Way from the main Ogunquit area and had some lobster rolls.The lobster rolls were delicious, service was quick, and price-wise very reasonable for current prices. Personally, I prefer a thicker, creamier clam chowder but theirs was still quite good.

Lovely little cozy spot in Perkins Cove Oquinquit Maine. Completely fits the quaint feel of Perkins Cove. It was my children's first taste of lobster and they loved it! I appreciated getting to see and pick out the lobster before it was cooked. Potato salad was good. Chowder was yummy, a thinner broth but well seasoned with a touch of pepper. The lobster stew was delicious with a loads of chucks of lobster meat. Servers were polite and amicable. A must when visiting Oquinquit 👍Kid-friendliness: I had two littles with a hungry teething toddler. One of the waitress was kind enough to grab him some extra oyster crackers until the food has cooled enough for him to eat. There are also highchairs.

We had a great experience at the Lobster Shack!. The atmosphere was charming and coastal, creating a perfect setting for a seafood feast.the lobster meat was succulent, tender, and had tons of flavor. Each bite was a heavenly burst of seafood goodness!Very, courteous attentive and friendly staff.The Twins deal for 2 Lobster is a no brainer!In addition to the lobster, the sides and desserts were equally delightful, complementing the meal perfectly. The service was prompt and attentive,Overall, the Lobster Shack exceeded all my expectations. It's a must-visit destination for seafood enthusiasts, offering a delightful combination of exceptional dishes, friendly staff, and a warm ambiance. I can't wait to return and indulge in their delectable lobster creations once again!

I don’t know the young ladies name who served us, but she deserves five times whatever she’s getting paid. An absolute beast in the restaurant. She didn’t stop moving or look at her phone once. She did everything from run food to bussing and washing dishes.Oh, the food was great too🤣

We were the first in line when they opened, and thank goodness! Line was wrapped around the building by the time they let us in. Food was really delicious. Had the lunch special with a lobster roll and a cup of chowder! The soup was fantastic! Not too thick, perfectly seasoned, and with big chunks of fresh fish! The lobster roll was delicious. Very, very fresh. Wonderful toast and sweet lobster!

We showed up for an early lunch. A gentleman greeted us at the front door, explained the menu, and left us with the owner to order. We got the lobster roll, of course, and I did something extremely out of character and ordered fish tacos from the East Coast. These guys really know fish. I would say it's probably some of the best fish I've ever had in a fish taco! I'm very glad that I took the chance on these... they are top-notch tacos. It was completely unbelievable!-- From a taco connoisseur who lived 20 years in San Diego!

The Lobster Shack in beautiful Perkins Cove in the Southern Main village of Ogunquit, is a true gem and perhaps worthy of being a National Historic Site.It is THE lobster place to visit in the area, if you have to pick only one.It is a cute little old lobsterman’s hut sitting on waters edge and serving up some of the best lobsters on the Maine coastline.The lobster stew is without exaggeration, the most buttery , tasty, lobster broth you can ever imagine served in a cup or bowl filled with large succulent chunks of freshly caught lobster meat. You will never forget this dish!The lobster rolls are just as delicious and jammed packed with delicious lobster meat with just the right amount of mayonnaise.No lettuce and fillers here. Just the real deal!The clam chowder is more of a clam/fish chowder, and not to be missed.You can also get all size whole lobstersserved with corn on the cob and homemade coleslaw or potato salad or chips.Beer, wine and soft drinks are also available.All of the lobsters are caught daily in local waters and off loaded on the pier outside of The Lobster Shack’s door. You can’t get fresher lobsters anywhere!Visiting Maine? The Lobster Shack on Perkins Cove should be on your must visit list!Went to The Lobster Shack on Perkins Cove again in August, 2019, and am happy to relate that it is still just as good as always!Everything I said previously goes double!You can not find a better Down East Maine lobster dinner in Ogunquit!Try it out!

We loved this place so much we went back the next day! Everything was so fresh and delicious! Probably the best lobster roll I’ve ever had - packed full of delicious perfectly cooked lobster meat. The NE roll was perfectly grilled and still warm when served. First day I had Mayo in it - just enough - not too much - next day I tried it with butter - both equally good - the sides were delicious - potato salad was amazing - corn on the cob was perfectly cooked - you order at the counter but then the staff bring your food and drinks to you- encountered probably five different staff members - each one very friendly and helpful and super efficient. My husband had the haddock sandwich - grilled - not fried - absolutely delicious. Also the homemade seafood chowder / he said it was amazing and tasted like the sea! The owner is a super nice guy - this was probably a crazy busy weekend but no one seemed hassled or too tired to be nice anymore! I can’t wait to come back! I would drive the five hours just to eat here! The atmosphere is exactly what you want in a “lobster in the rough” kind of place - nothing fancy but clean and comfortable! Highly recommend!Parking: Just drive around and something opens up or there is a paid lot very close - in the middle of tons of shoppingKid-friendliness: Great place for kids to dine

Of all the lobsters we ate on our 10 day tour of the Atlantic NE, Lobster Shack was the best! Our lobsters weren't boiled until we ordered them. There weren't many places to sit and none were in the shade on a day that was in the 90s. There were some volunteers policing the parking lot to make sure people didn't stay too long. A popular stop for a reason. Don't miss the shack!

Got lobster roll classic (cold with Mayo sauce) and hot with butter. Also got chowder.Definitely a reco but it’s pricey because it’s lobster. That said, the portions were solid.

I've been going here for years and have consistently had delicious seafood. Steamers were the best I had while in Maine this year. Seafood chowder and lobster roll are both delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Really good spot for seafood ordered a lobster myself which was not too expensive in my opinion. Comes with a choice of two sides as well. Service is good you go up to the counter to order your food and drinks then they bring it over to your table. I think its also great that you pay before getting your food as well, so when you are done eating you just leave. Not much seating inside so when it is packed you'll have to wait, but they do have tables outside by the sidewalk so you can sit and eat by the ocean.

Best chowder in Wells and Ogunquit. I had a lobster BLT and I wasn't prepared for all the ways it would change my life. Perfectly crisp bacon (but not too crisp). Unparalleled bread to lobster ratio and one hell of a pickle. Friendly staff, fast service and cozy atmosphere. It's a can't miss.

One of the best lobster rolls I've had in my life. Extremely friendly staff. You save several dollars by going here than other restaurants in Perkins Cove without sacrificing your taste buds.

The chowder was very good - thin and flavorful - not thick and gummy like paste. Unfortunately, I found the lobster roll tasteless. I was very disappointed as I'd been looking forward to a lobster roll all day! The beer was good, the staff friendly, and the location awesome.

Small restaurant with indoor seating that is reduced due to COVID. You can purchase food for takeout and find a place outside by the water to eat – as if that is a hardship ;). We stopped here after falling in love with the views on the Marginal Way. OMG. If inside, you order at the counter and they deliver to your table. Cute and quaint inside with low ceilings and long wood tables. Excellent service – they checked back a few times and quickly picked up dirty dishes – a major hang up of mine. Geaghan brothers IPA and stout both very tasty. The lobster roll and homemade chowder special was tasty and a great deal. It also came with kettle cooked chips and coleslaw. We and our friends all thought the homemade chowder was to die for. It is on the thinner side but I like it that way. The haddock tacos are the best tacos I’ve ever had. Haddock cooked perfectly with a light seasoning and a spicy delicious homemade sauce. They also had cabbage and cilantro which added a nice crunch. It was not crowded on a Tuesday at noon but apparently that is an anomaly. Highly recommend.

Absolutely delicious! Hubby and I each had the lobster roll, lobster was by far the most tender and tastiest we had on our trip. Adorable little shack, must visit! Forgot to take a pic before my first bite🤣🤣

Authentic down Maine food, they only do a few things - lobster, clam chowder, maybe a few other dishes, but they do it right. Lots of big chunky meat in the lobster rolls, delicious meaty chowder & homemade coleslaw. The best anywhere.

Great food with tons of lobster! Highly recommend the corn on the cob and slaw. You can take your food to the nearby picnic tables and enjoy a view of the bridge.

This place is a must go for food! The lobster roll is their popular dish, but my husband went back for seconds on the crab roll because it was the best he's ever had!The fish tacos were also excellent! Tables were a little crowded together making the restaurant feel packed. We will be back next time we're in town!

Great Fresh Lobster Rolls. Warm with Butter or Traditional cold with a tiny bit of Mayo. I love the warm w butter. Owner by a lobsterman and run by his wife. Sweet! Huge! Lobster rolls.

Quaint little spot, aptly named. Order at the counter and food is brought to the table. We shared a few dishes and didn't have enough utensils or plates. The food is very good, but again, not having a clean plate for a 2lb lobster is challenging. Chowder is amazing. Lobster stew has at least one whole lobster in it and is perfectly seasoned. Lobster roll was delicious! I'd go back!

Great for lunch before/after your trail hike! Great, no-frills fish & seafood menu. If you need a break from the inflationary "lobstaa" prices try their tuna roll with a side of potato salad [home recipe] or their generously portioned haddock sandwich.
