“We’ve gone here twice now. Both times we got the lobster roll with chowder. First time the chowder was perfect! Plenty of potatoes & clams. Second time, not so great. It was basically just the creamy broth without almost ANY potatoes or clams at all, that was a bummer. The lobster was perfect the first time, perfect amount of butter & was very tasty (you can also get it cold with mayo). The second time it lacked butter & was on the dryer side. I guess it’s a hit or miss? Hey, we all have bad days. We will definitely try it again. We hope the next time we go it is better than the last time, just hoping it was an off day. They are always packed! Most of time we see the line is out the door, it does move fairly quickly though. That was nice. The ice cream & the portions were wonderful. We were not impressed with the shakes. We ordered two “very thick three scoop”shakes but the size seemed more like a maybe a medium sized drink I’d say, & it wasn’t at all thick, not at all. It was disappointing, we won’t be getting those again. But definitely will get their ice cream! Would love to grab one of their ice cream pies next time, when we were in line an older couple said they were delicious. Oh, I almost forgot! The chili cheese fries (with melted cheese) were amazing! The chili is pretty much perfect, I will be trying the chili dog at some point. I’ll update on our return, hopefully earning that fifth star for the food ;)
All & all it is an affordable place with plenty of options & you should give it a try. You’ll never find a better deal for a lobster roll with chowder or fries or both!“

“The staff was friendly, the ice cream was delicious, it was rainy and unfortunately the barn was closed but some of the animals were still roaming around outside in their pen (along with some chickens roaming, too!) So it was still nice to see. Definitely plan to go back again some time soon!“
