Lobster Shack

"Pretty darn good whole-belly clams are served in abundance on a heavy paper plate."
Michael Stern






"The "Whoopie! Pie" was introduced in 1927 by the Berwick Cake Company in Massachusets. Since then, the coast of Maine has become the place where whoopie pie thrives as the semi-official picnic-table snack and shore dinner dessert. "
Michael Stern



"There is plenty of lobster meat in this rich, milky lobster stew. Pictured is the smaller, appetizer-size serving. For a few dollars more, you get nearly twice as much, making it a satisfying dinner."
Michael Stern



"There is plenty of meat in the Lobster Shack's lobster roll; and note how the mayonnaise is not mixed in, but dolloped on. This is a very nice touch, allowing full appreciation of the large hunks of lobster."
Michael Stern

"A Downeast favorite: Grape-Nuts pudding."

"The Lobster Shack is close to Portland, and there is always a long line of customers waiting to place their orders. Note one of the two lights in the background."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"The best thing about the Lobster Shack is its setting. There is no more dramatic place to have a shore dinner than at one of these picnic tables overlooking the water."
Michael Stern



"The Lobster Shack has inside dining, but we always choose to sit outside, the most dramatic setting for a seafood shack in Maine, as far as we're concerned."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
