Shaw's Fish & Lobster Wharf

We've been here many times before and loved it but the last visit left us scratching our heads as to what happened to the place. The lobster we ordered was taken out of the refrigerator already cooked and then heated up right in front of our faces. It was obviously overdone and rubbery with no flavor. Calamari was also so rubbery, it had to be frozen and reheated - so bland we couldn't finish it. Not sure what happened but we won't be back unfortunately.

Very good food. Sitting outside on the dock overlooking the harbor is a great place to eat. They have live music several times per week now and it’s been great.

We ordered both the broiled and the fried scallops that were definitely previously frozen, rubbery and overcooked. Coleslaw was so-so. If you go here just enjoy the nice setting and have a drink.

So good... we went twice during our 3 day visit. So Good!! Sat outside for dinner when sun was setting, then inside for lunch when the sun was too much.

The micro-sized shrimp was $25, and the lobster roll was very basic—you can get a much better one at a nicer restaurant for a lower price. The prices are outrageous and not worth it, especially considering there’s no service, yet they charge like a high-end restaurant.

Great food and a very welcoming atmosphere. An authentic wharf setting with stunning views and some of the freshest seafood you’ll find. It’s perfect for the whole family, and the live music adds a fun, lively touch to the experience.

The size of the shrimp that came with the surf and turf dinner....

Lazy mans lobster is out of this world!! Perfect venue for
authentic Maine lobster, on the wharf fresh from it's source- Best ever

A beautiful wharf but the food was okay. We spent more money on a lobster roll than I would’ve liked. I ended up getting the lobster stew and it was tasty but nothing special. The lobster roll however did have a ton of meat on it but they didn’t give you the option for butter or mayo like most other places we’ve been to in Maine. Definitely worth it for the view and a nice outside deck.

We decided to eat inside rather than out on the deck with the cooler winds. Enjoyed the 1.5 lb lazy lobster and 1.5 lb maine steamers, fresh and sweet. Helpful staff to work through the menu options. Even got to watch the afternoon lobster boat unload their catch. Can't get much fresher!
