You order at the counter, and they bring the food out to you. Lobsters this time of year are not cheap.

And BF added a cheeseburger as well and 2 waters. The total bill with tax was around $98. You can't ever beat that. The coleslaw was good that I had to get 2 more for $3. Service was friendly. 5 stars!

This is a new FAVORITE!!!!!!! I was surprised there's actually room for sit down dining as that was one of the reasons we didn't stop in to be honest. So for anyone wondering. Yes come sit! The prices are wonderful. The portions are HUGE! I ate some, and had enough for dinner the next night. They have a chicken was the best fried chicken pieces that I have ever had! It was cut how perfectly I would in my own home, super tender and the breading was SOOOOO good! The flavor has me craving it right now They have a ton of options for everyone, and a whole cooler of drink choices They're active on social media, and post specials daily, so watch there! Always some yummy surprises

Maine has absolutely no shortage of seafood restaurants. What most people don't realize is that you…read morecan go as far as two hours Inland and still receive quality seafood directly from our waters. This is in augusta, which falls within that range. They have the option for ordering takeout Ahead of time or online. There is significant outdoor seatting as well as a small interior dining room. The interior has one non gender handicap, accessible bathroom. The menu is not excessive, but the portions are generous. CAUTION: pay close attention to the prices. they will fluctuate and you should not assume what the final cost of your meal will be beforehand!! My clam basket and my daughter's 1/4lb roll (2 20 Oz drinks) totaled $65!! Now I will absolutely give credit to them for the clam portion being large and high quality. These were the type of onion rings that I prefer, which are thinner and more crunchy with less batter. That said, the total completely blew my mind.Because even with a very industry standard upcharge for onion rings in place of french fries.I had sticker shock. I grew up near Portland so I understand the price of seafood can change quickly. But I would say do some price shopping. Because this is more about the experience of the location since the quality of food does exist at other restaurants.In maine.

I did see a few people bring their own tablecloth and wine. It looks like the locals love this place. You can pick your lobster from the lobster pool or you can order fish. I decided to get the crabster, which is a sandwich with lobster and crab. They were not skimpy on the protein. It was a good amount and it sure filled me up. It came with a side of the potato chips. I decided I wanted to try their coleslaw. They're small side is actually shareable. It's creamy and I thought it was good. They have inside and outside seating. The outside seating is perfect on a good day. We sat outside and it was perfect. There is no shade in the patio so come prepared. They do have parking on site.

I am not sure it is fair to say service was slow since it was late/the holiday weekend factor, but do note there was only one server in the space. Lots of love to them for squeezing us in. I liked that the space felt like someone's home. It was quite intimate. The menu was very unique and offered a lot of fusion feeling items. I am not sure if it was just the circumstance, but the food fell a bit flat for us. My best friend ordered the burger and it was pretty burnt. I got a sort of scallop curry that came with bread. The curry was lovely, but would've been really great with rice. I ended up using the bread making it a bit of a bread curry. Would be interested to try other things on the menu.

Have returned twice since then. As the menu is small and hasn't changed since my first visit, the charm has worn off. I usually share the roast half chicken plus 2-3 sides. The meal was absolutely flavorful on my first visit but not so much the last visit in Dec 2025. Maybe it was a bad night? I thought the flavors fell flat and service was not as attentive. I was celebrating the holidays by treating friends to dinner and had to wave down someone twice to order rounds of drinks. I will give any establishment 20 stars if they are paying attention as to whether your glass is half empty. For me, the food can be excellent or blah but excellent service can make or break a restaurant.

As someone afflicted with Celiac, finding good gluten-free fried seafood is SUCH a rarity. Everything we ordered was phenomenal. The batter wasn't too heavy or greasy, had a great flavor and was super crisp, and left you feeling full but not stuffed. The owner also brought out fried pickles, onion rings, and clam chowder (all gf!!) for me to try, which I haven't had since being diagnosed, which was so incredibly thoughtful and generous Highly recommend: popcorn shrimp, chicken tenders, blueberry slaw, fried pickles, onion rings, and clam chowder. My husband said his lobster roll and seaweed salad were top notch. The seaweed salad is not gluten free, but you can request a gf bun for the lobster rolls! The side sauces were also super tasty If you're Celiac, gluten-free, or just looking to eat fried food that's done right, Shannon's Unshelled is worth the detour every time. I'll be dreaming about this place for a long time!

It's literally a food truck on the side of the road, but she has cute little picnic tables and her restaurant is set up to truly reflect Lobster week. We ordered a lobster roll to share, and she included some fried lobster and her lobster bisque to accompany it. She halved it for us as we were sharing, and it's a good thing we did because it was a huge portion. Mine had a cute little Marigold on top and his featured a little orchid. How did she know they were both so reflective of who we are?! Oh my goodness I almost forgot, we had blueberry coleslaw... Have you ever had blueberry coleslaw? It was like dessert in a cup, but it was a side dish. Truly phenomenal! We are headed from Bar Harbor back to Portland on Friday and plan on stopping at Shannon's on our way.
