    We decided to try Alaskan Captain on Friday for some lobster rolls. Wayne, the owner was very gracious and educated us on his history which was very impressive. His lobster rolls were very good and we're glad to have met him. Thanks again!

    About to dig into our lobster roll!

    What a wonderful experience! My wife and I stumbled upon this little place that had their open flag out and a sign that reads 2 lobster rolls for $45 (June 1st 2025) the owner and main cook greeted us and took our order for two "loaded" (butter and mayo) lobster rolls and my cup of clam shower. It's small in here and I can imagine during the busy season being tight in here but today was a nice leisurely lunch with my spouse and chit chat with the locals ordering to-go. 5s for atmosphere and friendliness as well as great seafood.

    My husband and I stopped in for a lobster roll. We got two lobster rolls with mayo and butter. It was delicious and very reasonably priced. There are some tables inside to eat. The owner is friendly and helpful! If you haven't tried this place it's worth a visit.

    Lobster roll with little thin pieces of lobster rather than chunks.

    The lobster roll was very disappointing. I've driven from Portland Maine to have one based on Google reviews. The lobster pieces were quite small and just little strips of I guess it was lobster. And even though I ordered it hot buttered it was cold inside the pieces of lobster and a little watery so I think it was actually frozen and mostly reheated. The owner is very nice but the quality is rather poor.

    RUN, DON'T WALK, TO EAT HERE. Excellent lobster rolls - definitely get the butter/mayo combo...and you're gonna want the large!! Perfectly toasted roll, overflowing lobster, totally delicious. While we were there, two other tourists and two locals came in--you know it's good if locals eat there! Excellent customer service - Wayne is awesome! Chatted with us and ended up giving us samples of his shrimp scampi! Clam chowder was yummy, too! You order at the counter and then he makes your sandwiches in the back--it does take awhile but it's worth it because it's so fresh! There's not a ton of room to sit but there is enough for a few people (the main room where you order has a small 6 person picnic table and there's another room with two small picnic tables). I think we might be back one more time before we leave next week!

    Maybe the best lobster roll ever?!?! Been driving by this place for years! Unassuming little spot on route 1, not a restaurant, sells seafood retail and online, but also serves up lobster rolls and clam chowder, and that is the full menu! You can get it with butter, Mayo or both, owner recommends both, we said to do it his way! He was quite the conversationalist while waiting, over 25 years fishing in Alaska. I highly recommended the lobster roll!

    We both agreed we should have gotten the large. Very good! Wayne is great. If you're around the area you must stop.

    Lobster roll is the absolute best we have had since arriving in Maine 5 days ago. Don't think it can be beat.

    The Zach Shack was definitely an unexpected surprise on my trip to Maine…read more For a trailer roadside shack, they sure know how to do several things very well. I definitely dug my fish tacos and fried zucchini fries. The fish tacos was definitely not thin piece of fish, but a nice thicker cut, and plated nicely with fresh salsa on top. The fried zucchini fries were also similarly thicker cut which I honestly didn't think would work. I would have thought that with a thicker cut, the zucchini would have required a longer cook time in the oil that would have made the exterior just a tad overdone. To my surprise, both the fish and zucchini were not overdone, and instead just perfect. A nice sprinkle of parmesan cheese added a needed salty profile to the zucchini. As a true roadside shack, there is seating outdoors on old school long wooden picnic tables. I visited after peak lunch time so there was plenty of seating which made my experience pleasant. I sure hope these guys stick around for my next trip up to Maine.

These perfectly grilled hot dogs were enjoyed at an umbrella shaded picnic table located in the parking lot. The hot dogs turned out to be pretty decent given their reasonable pricing.

Sat at the bar since they were quite busy and haven't had a chance to clear a few tables. Restaurant reminds you of grandma's house, rustic, chic tables and chairs, mismatched dinnerwares and the whole ambiance playing "killin jive" from the 1940's. I wasn't born then but the whole vibe reminds you of that era that I only get a pleasure to watch on TV. Now for the food... Jonah's crab as you can expect was sweet and delicious but a pain to eat using your fighting tools however, the dip was heavenly. BF had the burger, he was surprised that you can't modify it, but thoroughly enjoyed how unique it was, I told him, the chef takes pride how he prepares his food, so you either take it as it is or get something else. Keep an open mind. And I had the overnight beef shank, wow, simple yet delicious, fork tender and luscious marrow. The celery and fennel salad added brightness to the dish and the blue cheese wasn't overwhelming. And I don't like blue cheese and this creativity made me wanting it more. The dish isn't a huge portion, but surprisingly it got me full that I left a few bites of the beef and the salad. For drinks, I had the Rosé and he had the New England India pale ale, light and bubbly. Service was okay, a little slow in the beginning and as the night went on, our server became friendlier.
