Claws Reviews
Nice spot. The griddled chicken was alright, don't recommend the chicken tenders. The fries and cole slaw are good. If we go back, will try something else.
We LOVE this place! The food, the people, the service and vibe of Claws is always worth stopping in for. Fresh, tasty food, nice portions. Always delicious!!!
Excellent food in a roadside seafood shack! Lines and waits are long due to its popularity! Try to get there early for meals. Parking is at a premium. Large menu has something for everyone!

Claws is a midcoast region restaurant known for serving exceptional fried clams and a variety of seafood dishes. Visitors can enjoy a picturesque view of Rockland Harbor from the open seating area while savoring their meal. The staff is friendly and accommodating, consistently preparing dishes like the broiled haddock sandwich to perfection and keeping the fish fresh in a warm tin. The restaurant's lobster offerings are highly praised, with the 2.5 lb lobster being sweet, tender, and massive. The menu features a wide range of seafood, including fried shrimp, scallop lollipops, lobster donuts, haddock basket, fish n chips, and a large Maine-style cold lobster roll bursting with flavor. The lobster Mac n cheese is a standout, very cheesy and loaded with lobster chunks, making it a favorite among diners. Many customers find the food well worth the price, with portions large enough to satisfy big appetites. The friendly staff and delicious seafood make Claws a great choice for locals and visitors alike seeking a memorable meal. Recent reviews highlight the quality of fish and chips, with the lightly breaded fresh haddock cooked to perfection, and a delicious blueberry cornbread. The atmosphere is informal but offers a great view of the harbor. Customers enjoy ordering at the counter and then finding a seat, with servers delivering their meals. Appetizers like steamed clams, calamari, and fabulous crab cakes are popular, with some describing the crab cakes as moist and perfectly cooked with a touch of spice. One diner called the Claw’ssol sandwich magnificent—over a pound of freshly cooked lobster with warm butter, along with calamari, fries, and squid, making for a truly memorable experience. Overall, Claws remains a favorite for high-quality seafood and a friendly, relaxed environment.
