Happy Clam Shack Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lobster rolls are the biggest I think I have seen here. Pricey but you get a roll overflowing with lobster. Lobster pieces were huge and juicy. Not too much mayo either. The lobster bisque was also delicious. Super hearty and a large portion size as well

As my innkeeper in Bar Harbor advised, When ordering Lobstah, you pay for location and atmosphereh. She added that all lobsters in the area are caught and cooked the same way and thus pretty much all taste the same. So, you 'll pay more for the fancy joint on the dock. Turns out, MUCH more. That 's the beauty of a place like the Happy Clam Shack. It 's a little off the beaten path, but if it 's value you 're after, it can 't be beat. Located an easy 15 minute drive from downtown Bar Harbor, this charming eatery serves up delicious seafood at tasty prices. The staff were very friendly helpful with lobster-ordering rookies. The seating is all outdoor picnic tables adjacent to their parking lot. There 's some open green space that 's great for kids to run around or (in our case) toss a frisbee while waiting for dinner. Dinner was served surprisingly quickly and it exceeded expectations. The lobster was perfectly prepared, fresh, and delicious. The coleslaw side was also very good. They 've also got GREAT pies! Here 's the best part: We priced out lobster at various places in and around Bar Harbor. The Happy Clam Shack was literally 75% cheaper than some places in town! It 's worth the drive! We 've sent friends here and everyone has been very happy. If you 're looking for great lobstah and don 't want to break the bank, The Happy Clam Shack is the place for you.

Lots of options for fresh and live sea food, and they have both soft and hard shell Lobsters. The BlueBerry Pie tops everything there, imo.

Service atmosphere is great. I came here bc I thought the high rating (4.7 stars) meant it would be good, and it was ... very bland. If I would have been thinking I would have asked for the roll by itself, but the chowders were almost inedible if you don't pour salt hot sauce in them. the butter tasted like it might be butter flavor (canola oil). It's probably better to just get a lobster eat that on your own than getting a lobster roll. It also came w/ chips that I didn't want, so I left them out for other folks who might want them. The blueberry pie was decent! The crust was medium/fine so I sort of picked out the filling which was good not too sweet

The absolute best place for lobsters at a reasonable price. We went to multiple places from Boston to Bar Harbor this past week and we had our BEST experience here! The soft shell lobsters were fantastic!
