    Lobster Roll
    Alex Z.

    While in vacation in Maine one must try a roadside stand to grab a lobster roll. Staff was friendly and food came out quick. Nestled in the heart of the action in Old Orchard Beach. Seafood was fresh and tasty. Hot dogs delicious and fries crisp. Definitely worth trying when in the area.

    THE lobster roll, the right way
    Mo V.

    jUST GoOoOoOo! Being born in Maine and raised in New England I feel confident in saying this places serves the freshest, Non-fishy, not fancy lobster rolls PERIOD. The shack offers the right way (chilled w Mayo) as well as the weird way (warm butter). Here's the thing whichever your preference it's simple, well executed and worth repeating . Hunks of lobster with claws, no chewy tails. This place is so calm good I ate two my first trip and returned on the daily! Just effen GOOOoOooo!

    Johnny Shucks is located one block from Orchard Beach and serves Lobster Rolls and other seafood items. The restaurant is located outside and does not have indoor seating. Also, they call you by your name or number and you pick your food up at window. My brother and my mother ordered a Lobster Roll and I ordered Fish and Chips. I do not like Lobster so I cannot tell you how the Lobster Roll was, but my family said it was delicious. My Fish and Chips were very delicious, seasoned to perfection, and the fish had a good crust on it. The fish was cooked perfectly and the batter was able to hold onto the fish. I find that many restaurants have that problem with their fish. I would definitely recommend trying this establishment out and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

    Don't go here! I ordered 2 fish and chips a Diet Coke and a beer. Came to $65! They use frozen fish not fresh. The batter was horrendous. They served spicy waffle fries with it. And to top it off, they served little plastic cups of KENS TARTER SAUCE! If we weren't so tired from a long drive we probably would have sent it all back and argued for a refund. Wound up throwing half of it in the trash can. The drinks were the only thing they didn't mess up surprisingly. Don't waste your time or money.

    Lobster roll perfection!

    Came to eat lobster rolls in Maine for a long weekend. Hands down best lobster roll EVER! I'm posting this after three days of touring Scarborough, OOB and Portland! DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE!

    Wow! What an out of the way unexpected great food experience. We had the lobster bisque, clam chowder, and lobster roll and all three were some of the best that we've had on our visit to Maine. I asked for a military discount and they gave me the lobster roll free! So friendly to veterans and first responders is a big big plus. You definitely need to come by and try this place out. It's just a block from the beach so the view and outdoor beach experience is great.

    Johnny's lobster roll was one of the best I've had during a visit to Maine. The mayo/butter combo was delicious and the lobster meat was very tender. We also tried the clam chowder which was really tasty and creamy. The staff surprised us and gave us a try of their lobster poutine, very tasty. Amazing food and great service and right on Old Orchard Street with the pier and great ambiance.

    Delicious classic Maine lobster roll made to order. A bit heavy on the mayo for my taste but the meat was extremely fresh so no complaints! Still, if I have to be honest i have to save five stars for only the very best lobster rolls.

    Lobster bisque
    Dakota D.

    You know it's good when everyone that passes by slows down and watches you eating lobster rolls like they're missing out. Amazing lobster rolls and even better service. Suzanne up front was super friendly. She even brought us a little cup of the lobster bisque to try, which paired amazingly with the tots that comes with the lobster roll dinner. Such a good vibe.

    Lobster rolls.  One with butter, one with mayo.

Special…read moreshoutout to Kelsey, who was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. We started with the fresh calamari appetizer, which was light, crispy, and so tasty, and the fresh pear salad was a refreshing, flavorful start. For my entrée, I had the stuffed lobster with scallops, and it was delish! The lobster was succulent, perfectly cooked, and truly a treat for dinner. It was served with fresh veggies and potatoes. My fiancé and future sister-in-law ordered the "Best of Both Worlds" which was steak and lobster; it was a nice combo, but they both agreed the steak was just okay and didn't really need the chimichurri sauce. My future brother-in-law really enjoyed his haddock entrée....he said it was fresh and well-prepared. We finished the meal by sharing desserts; cheesecake, key lime pie, and chocolate mousse cake, and every bite was yummy! All in all, a great and yummy meal by the water with fabulous service and fresh, delicious food. We'll definitely be back!

    The service wasn't bad, but you could tell that they didn't want to be there…read more The food was good, but not great. The price really didn't live up to the hype. We started with bread service and a salad both were good and then I had a filet which was undercooked but no biggie and she had the chicken breast that was ok. The views of the ocean are outstanding.

For my entree, I had the glazed salmon with coconut curry. The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the coconut curry was rich and flavorful. I am a coconut curry lover through and through, and the only thing that would have taken it over the top for me would be a little ginger and a touch of scotch bonnet for that gentle kick. The service was outstanding. Marissa was incredible, attentive, friendly, and full of great recommendations. I will definitely be back when I visit next summer. Just a heads up, they do not take reservations and the place is small, so be prepared for a bit of a wait. It is worth it.
