Usually when a place calls them jumbo it's laughable but there was no false advertising here. What's even better is that they are the product of a father / daughter duo and I love to support local and family businesses. This place is nondescript but a must eat if you're in the area. No better pricing or quality.

Unfortunately, the oysters were extremely small and rightfully referred to as cocktail oysters. Because they were so small, it was hard to gauge their flavor and barely worth the time to shuck. They were clearly fresh and had a nice briny smell. I will check back later in the season to see if larger ones are available. I am hoping for the best next visit. Could one day perhaps be one of the wonders of Maine.

Our group, made up of Mainers and "people from away who spend a lot of time in Maine" felt that…read morethis could be the best lobster roll we have ever had. Lobster roll prices are one of the few things in life that regularly give me sticker shock, but this (currently under $30) is less than some highly-ranked shacks. And the view, by golly, the view. The view is worth an extra $10 to sit and look out at the water - the exact view of what Maine means to me. Anyway, we arrived at 11:42am on Wednesday; they open at 11:30am. It was pretty busy by that time - the line moves fast - many people already eating 12 minutes after opening. But when we left, probably 60-90 min later, the car line was very long. I'd recommend getting there 15 minutes before they open. We had the hot dog, not-pictured, but positive review from the two kids who chose that, as well as one who chose the grilled cheese. Three of us had lobster rolls, with nothing but rave reviews. Lobster rolls always look small to me, but it was packed and filling. Get both butter and mayo. Slaw, pickle, and chips - standard and good. Our lone steamed lobster ordered gave two thumbs up, also. Oh, and we started with clam dip. Like delicious chip dip - but with clams! Subtly seafoody. Worth the effort to check out McCloons. The whole area is beautiful - swing by Owls Head Lighthouse afterwards. Those few hours will be the way life should be.

While roadtripping around America and Canada for two weeks with my son, I decided we couldn't leave…read moreMaine without eating lobster somewhere. I googled lobster shacks on the water and was led here. Couldn't be happier with the choice to come here. It's absolutely the most beautiful lobster shack I've ever been to. I got a full lobster which came with a pickle, bag of chips, coleslaw , lemon wedge and melted butter. My son got a lobster roll which came with the same sides. The total for both was $65.77. We got a table right by the water with an umbrella and it was peaceful, idyllic, and just perfect. We got there right when it opened at 11:30 so we had our choice of table, and parking was easy, but when we left almost an hour later, just about all of the tables were taken and the parking lot was completely full. It is definitely a popular place but for good reason. Maine is a top 5 state for me, so I'll definitely be back someday, and for now will spread the word to others to come check this place out.

It was one of our last days in Maine and I was on a mission to find the best lobster roll I could…read morefind. When I read the Yelp and Google reviews for this place, I knew I had found my spot. It's a small, no frills spot. The owner is super helpful and friendly. He'll proudly tell you why his lobster roll is the best. He uses claw meat which makes it sweeter. The pieces are very small, so it is loaded with meat. The popular rolls you see use giant chunks of meat, but with all of the space between them, this one actually has more meat even if it doesn't seem like it. And lastly, he uses both butter and mayo on it. I don't think I'll ever find a better lobster roll for the rest of my life. My husband claimed lobster rolls were overrated until we had this one. My only regret is that this was our second stop for food, so my husband and I shared one. To top it all off, this was the cheapest meal we had in Maine. Most places will charge you at least $35-40 for anything that has lobster in it. I think we paid $20-$25 for our roll. Whenever I'm in Maine, I will come here for another lobster roll, no matter how far out of my way I have to go.
