Unique place. Will be back. Some of their food prices are good and some are expensive. Example they have a $14 burger and a $17 salmon sandwich. Those are good prices. Then there are lots of things that are $20+ and $30+, not including their lobster items. The view is GREAT! and I you want a view while you eat, this is place to come. You stand in line and the menu is on a huge board outside. You wait your turn to order at the window and then you go to your table. (Someone in your party should go fetch a table, while others wait in line.). There are two rows of seating outside. Customer service is great. Everyone seems to be very friendly.

All I can say is prices at Claws in Maine have skyrocketed. I use to stop at Claws many times, over their summer seasons, and, as soon as opened, treating family and friends- and I love going there alone, often just to pick up lunch. But not this past summer of 2025. Prices are too high. The prices are just too high for this local. Sorry to have to move on, but...

This place won the #1 spot on my lobster roll contest out of the 6 I tried 😋👍. While you stand in line to order the service is friendly and welcoming. They also do a wild blueberry Cobbler...fresh to order. This place is a definite stop for lobster rolls and other seafood 💯

Wonderful spot for fresh Maine Lobster Rolls, and service, attention to detail by staff, small family owned and operated. Closed mid October through late May. Lobster rolls are market price and well worth their price.

Good lobster rolls with pricing that seems about standard for the area. Funky atmosphere with a little gift shop and good spots for pictures. Also right on the water!

Delicious lobster and Cole slaw, but the salad was fairly limp and uninspiring. Great location and nice views. Fun! Be prepared to wait in line....

Simple place on the water. Lobster was excellent. Thought the portions were right. Not fancy but real good
Probably one of the best 👌 fish and chips ever. Lightly breaded over fresh Haddock cooked to perfection. A first was the delicious blueberry cornbread. My wife had a chucked filled naked and tasty lobster 🦞 roll. For dessert we had the blueberry crisp, tons of blueberry 😋, however the topping was oats (we believe) which made it more like a breakfast sweet vs. dinner dessert . Atmosphere is informal but provides a great view of the harbor. You order and pay first, find a place to sit. Server's deliver your order

Great customer service. Shell pieces in my lobster roll dropped a star - but apart from that, delicious.

Overall a great place for seafood but if your a local and not a tourist you know how overpriced their seafood is this is the only reason why I won’t give them 5 stars if they had better prices they would get 5 stars

Ketchup was awful. Why would a great restaurant serve this, doesn't make sense.

We’ve stopped here before and we really liked it- I had the clam strips- so this stop I figured they would have excellent fried shrimp- I was shocked when I got my order- and they were basically fried salad shrimp- Those tasteless mushy “shrimp”. The batter didn’t even stay on- you pick it up- and the tiny shrimp fell out each time- they were disgusting- I was so disappointed- a place like this should have fried shrimp that at least are two bites-
