I had an amazing lobster roll here and will definitely be back! This spot can't be beat in terms of location and quality. Right on the main road, just steps from the beach. There's several tables in front so you can enjoy the food right there if you'd rather not get it to go. It's got a really nice feel for how small it is- I think the small white picket fence out front adds a nice touch. I had the $15 lobster roll from the pier the day before and while it got the job done, Johnny Shucks is well worth the extra money for full claws and all around fresh, juicy, hot meat! I also got a glass of wine for $5 and it was a generous pour, washed down the roll perfectly! The clam chowder is flavorful as well, a little on the thinner side but served piping hot. Service was very fast, so you can get back to the beach in no time. Don't pass this one up! @azfitfoodfun read more

Maybe the worst lobster roll over ever had. So chewy in some bites and just mushy in others. Very stringy and just several signs of being not fresh. read more

Johnny Shucks - Lobster Roll - Seafood Near Me - Old Orchard Beach, Maine

Delicious lobster rolls! Worth a stop if you're in the area. The prices are reasonable as well.

Eating a lobster roll and clam chowder within a stone's throw of the beach is classic Maine experience and that's exactly what Johnny Shucks has to offer. The clam chowder was down right delicious; the only thing that could have made it nearly perfect was if it had more clams and potatoes. I enjoyed the lobster roll very much. Even though I wish the roll was a tad larger, that tiny little bread boat was packed full of quality chunks of lobster. I tried MANY lobster rolls on this vacation and many of the rolls I wouldn't have again, but Johnny Shucks was one of the better ones. Don't hesitate to come here if you want buttery lobster goodness. read more

Johnny Shucks - Lobster Roll With Butter Yes Please!! - Seafood Near Me - Old Orchard Beach, Maine

This is an outdoor eating only joint in Old Orchard beach, but no beach view here. Order at counter and pick up when number called. We both decided on the fish and chips and choose this place due to the favorable Yelp reviews. The fish portion was generous, but the fish was not fresh tasting and was a bit dry and not flaky. Waffle fries are served in place of the tradiontional straight cut "chips" and were seasoned with some spices that didn't go with the fish. Clearly everything is made from frozen. The tarter sauce was Ken's pre-made and not at all good. It's a crime to not have an in house made tarter sauce! Service was fine and prices comparable to nearby establishments. We would not choose to come here again for fish and chips and would not recommend. read more

So It doesn't state on their menu, but they do in fact have both Maine and Connecticut style lobster rolls here! Both are good!

I ordered a lobster roll and clam chowder. Both were excellent. Sometimes I underestimate the restaurants near the pier as being tourist traps and they might not be as good. The food was excellent. I would highly recommend going!! read more

I mean, the fried whole belly clams were tasty as the batter was not too thick but they were more pieces of and very small clams as well as a pretty tiny portion size. Not a great value for the money! I was a little disappointed and won't return because of the quality. read more

We were seated by a hostess with no menus. Once she came back, we ordered two drinks. After 10 min the bartender came over with menus and we let her know someone had already seated us and took our order and then described our drink order to her. She had already made them and we saw them sitting on the counter for over 10mins. Neither the bartender nor the server brought them. After all the ice melted we walked up to the bar and asked for them ourselves. The bathrooms were filled with scraps of toilet paper and the trash was overflowing. All of this while I observed FOUR employees sitting at booths or leaning against walls on their phones. We definitely won't be back. Also, the party of 5 at the bar had no drinks and sent all their food back. read more

Busy place but well organized. My wife had the whole belly clams and they were dark, a bit over fried. I'm sure lobster rolls were good. My chicken tenders were good but didn't come with anything like cole slaw or fries. read more

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! read more

Johnny Shucks - THE lobster roll, the right way - Seafood Near Me - Old Orchard Beach, Maine

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. read more

Terrific food, Fair prices. Right in center of town by the RR tracks. We live year-round in this area and have has fish and chips and lobster rolls at many places. Johnny's was the best! Large pieces of haddock--perfectly fried. Lobster roll was really fresh with large pieces of lobster. Enjoyed the margaritas, too (at $8.00!. --unfortunately in a plastic cup). read more

Love their lobster rolls. They are very nice there and fast service. Would recommend them to everyone

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. read more

Johnny Shucks - Lobster roll perfection! - Seafood Near Me - Old Orchard Beach, Maine

Every year when I head east, my first order of business is to get a lobster roll once we hit Maine. This year my spouse and I decided to stay a few days in Old Orchard Beach, and this place came highly recommended from Yelp. Aside from the $29 market price of the lobster, the experience was excellent. Among the other pieces of lobster, my roll had 2 big claws in it, the amount of Mayo was just right, and the bread was toasted to perfection. It was a nice post-flight meal, and had a great patio for people watching while we ate. read more

Food was awesome. Best lobster roll. I had on my northeastern trip. Sad can't bring that place back home.

Worst whole belly clams EVER. Overcooked and very small portion. Asked about how many clams and was told it was a good portion. Will not return. read more

Johnny's does not dissapoint!! This was our second time here from California and could not wait to get to Johnny's. Great atmosphere and the Lobster Rolls...amazing!! They have a product and know how to sell it. The lobster both times was so good and juicy, the roll was perfect. Thank you for the memories. Getting it again tomorrow. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We went to this place thinking we were going to get the freshest fish in Maine. The fish looked as it was previously frozen and it was definitely processed. It was so dry and tasteless. The haddock sandwich had one piece of lettuce and a dap of tarter sauce and the fish tacos were so small and had a tiny amount of haddock. The price was not cheap for what we got and if you wanted their so called fries they charged $5 more. Shameless. Needless to say we were still hungry. We were better off going to McDonalds for a fillet of fish sandwich and would have saved so much money plus we could have had french fries on the side. I mentioned to the girl behind the counter that we were not happy with the quality and quantity, the girl could care less and blew me off. I told her this was the first and last time I would come to this place. Go to McDonalds, you will get better food. read more

It was pretty good lobster.very big for price.just large sizes.service fast also.in a convenient location next to the beach.

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. read more

Our church youth group was visiting Old Orchard Beach all the way from North Carolina, and we couldn't have asked for a warmer welcome than what we received at Johnny Shucks! We called Johnny at the last minute with a group of 22, and he made it happen with absolute grace and enthusiasm. Johnny personally oversaw every detail, making sure our group was comfortable and well taken care of. The food was outstanding--fresh, flavorful, and a true taste of Maine. His staff was friendly, attentive, and incredibly kind, making the entire experience feel like we were among friends. What made the evening even more special was how Johnny helped us celebrate a 17th birthday for one of our group members, complete with a surprise cake! That extra touch of thoughtfulness meant so much to all of us. If you're ever in Old Orchard Beach, do not miss Johnny Shucks. Johnny and his team know how to make people feel at home, no matter how far you've traveled. Thank you, Johnny, for a night we'll never forget! read more
