Happy Clam Shack Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lobster rolls are the biggest I think I have seen here. Pricey but you get a roll overflowing with lobster. Lobster pieces were huge and juicy. Not too much mayo either. The lobster bisque was also delicious. Super hearty and a large portion size as well

As my innkeeper in Bar Harbor advised, When ordering Lobstah, you pay for location and atmosphereh. She added that all lobsters in the area are caught and cooked the same way and thus pretty much all taste the same. So, you 'll pay more for the fancy joint on the dock. Turns out, MUCH more. That 's the beauty of a place like the Happy Clam Shack. It 's a little off the beaten path, but if it 's value you 're after, it can 't be beat. Located an easy 15 minute drive from downtown Bar Harbor, this charming eatery serves up delicious seafood at tasty prices. The staff were very friendly helpful with lobster-ordering rookies. The seating is all outdoor picnic tables adjacent to their parking lot. There 's some open green space that 's great for kids to run around or (in our case) toss a frisbee while waiting for dinner. Dinner was served surprisingly quickly and it exceeded expectations. The lobster was perfectly prepared, fresh, and delicious. The coleslaw side was also very good. They 've also got GREAT pies! Here 's the best part: We priced out lobster at various places in and around Bar Harbor. The Happy Clam Shack was literally 75% cheaper than some places in town! It 's worth the drive! We 've sent friends here and everyone has been very happy. If you 're looking for great lobstah and don 't want to break the bank, The Happy Clam Shack is the place for you.

This spot was amazing. We were driving by and decided to stop by for a lobster roll. Definitely didn't disappoint.

Sadly had to make it a 1 star review- my kids said you should make it a 0 review, but can’t. The lobsters were dry- the corn was terrible, not fresh at all, my kids hotdog was pink- and right off the gates, she didn’t want to eat it. My sons Mac and cheese clearly came from a box. This was my husband’s birthday dinner and clearly was extremely disappointed. Don’t go if this is your one time lobster dinner in Maine. The one good thing about his place, it’s dog friendly.

Lots of options for fresh and live sea food, and they have both soft and hard shell Lobsters. The BlueBerry Pie tops everything there, imo.
