Best clam strips I've had in maine. Lobster roll was good but not the best. It is served on a hamburger bun but I prefer the roll. Fries were good too. The blueberry pie was great. It is mostly outdoor seating. There is not a lot of parking near by. Definitely recommend coming for the clams.Parking: Had to park far away. No spots available near the restaurant.

I was told that they run out of clams each day just hours after opening and I can understand why. The clam chowder was beyond delicious. I wish I asked for several servings of it. The lobster roll was fantastic and the portion size was excellent. It’s my new spot whenever I am around.

Best Clam Chowder I ever had, served at the perfect temperature, a little clarified butter would make it even more savory.

Not worth it. All hype. Lobster roll was half shrimp. Too much money for a cold po boy with some lobster.

Biggest tourist rip off ever. The price and quality of food are outrageous . Go somewhere else.

A Kennebunkport staple! I've had probably 2/3 of the items on the menu and have been happy with everything. Their lobster rolls are nice and fresh and a little different style than typical lobster rolls (different bun). My favorite thing to get, though, are the fried shrimp with the crinkle cut fries. The line can be very long. It's right in the heart of Dock Square, which makes it a little less accessible on a busy summer day, but perfectly convenient if you're already in town -- and not to mention a beautiful atmosphere.

The best shrimp and lobster I've ever had. So good. I'm going to plan a vacation just to come back and eat again

The ambiance, laid back atmosphere, good food and a chill crowd.. a taste of Shangri-la!

The whole belly clams and onion rings were very good and also the fresh lemonade. I really enjoyed the blueberry hand pie for dessert. Alcoholic drinks were available inside, as well as restrooms, but most of the seating was outside. It was a nice Autumn day so I didn’t mind sitting outside. Nice scenery , too. The line went pretty quickly, but it is always long, so expect to wait.Parking: We parked pretty far away but at least it was free. Traffic and parking was congested even in October!

Not worth the price. They charge an arm and a leg for half the lobster that other places give you. Was it good quality lobster? Yes. But the lunch box “deals” they have are not worth $32.
