The River's Edge Drive is one route 1 in Machias. You can order everything from fried clams to ice cream. My clams were pleasantly crispy and I thought the fries were cooked just right. The soft serve ice cream tasted institutional and the lemonade was just ok. They do have some picnic tables but only a limited number and without umbrellas. The order takers were rather curt and I was not sure if that was in a New England way or that they just did not want to be there. The entire experience was just average. Oh and the prices will surprise you and not in a good way.

Our very favorite place for our weekly ice cream treats. Fried seafood and onion rings are a bonus!

Almost but not quite…read more We ordered two dirty martinis and the chai bourbon sour to start. The martinis were good, the chai bourbon sour was rather one noted, sour with the hint of the chai at the end, I was really looking forward to a stronger chai flavor. The chicken dumplings were really good no complaints, piping hot and crispy. I ordered the special shrimp and lobster ramen. It came completely mixed up, in a shallow dinner bowl, with minimal amount of broth. The noodles on top were drying out and not hot. The lobster and shrimp were overcooked, I found an egg shell piece and a piece of bacon (not part of the dish). Way too many green onions. The idea was so so good, execution was not. The others ordered the all you can eat haddock, the fries and fish were good. They were busy and had minimal staff, and half the staff there were training. Drinks and food came out slow. Our waitress did the absolute best she could with the cards dealt tonight. Expected more execution for the level of idea and pricing.

What a beautiful restaurant in a small town! The food was so tasty. The service so professional and…read morequick. We are a very big group from a NYC school doing outreach in Maine. This restaurant accommodated all of us!! I ordered a very tasty strip steak. The other members of the group ordered all varieties of food from vegan, vegetarian and pescatarian. It

Fun little place on the road. Outdoor dining at picnic tables. They cook the lobsters and clams…read moreright there so they are fresh. Both were tasty. The blueberry pie is Delicious! The women who work there are really helpful when you don't know how to order. Everything came out quickly.

Stopped in for steamers - kept coming back for more!!…read more I was in the mood for steamers and tried the Happy Clam Shack. The best steamers I EVER had. I questioned why the steamers did not come with hot water to dip the clams to get shake out sand and grit. The cook said she "will get some but these steamers are clean." She was right. Only melted hot butter was needed (no need to water down your clams and loose flavor). Once I finished 2 dozen, I asked about the butter still being so clear and not coagulating. "We only use Cabot salted butter slowly melted." It made a world of difference in taste. Had so much butter left that I ordered another dozen!! My wife ordered the halibut burger. Another hit!! A big piece of fish lightly battered. The owner said it is a new addition to the menu, I am sure it's going to remain for a very long time. To top it off, the service was fantastic. Our order was taken by the owner's granddaughter and she just lovely. I went back to the counter to tell her how great the food was when I noticed blueberry pie slices for sale. I asked how the slices are and her face just lit up when she said "it's amazing." I ordered an entire pie!! She was sooo right and dare I say one of, if not the, best blueberry pie I had in Maine so far!! We came back the next day to try the lobster rolls. We have been in Bar Harbor for 5 days and tried lobster rolls at several recommended places in town and at some of the "pounds". All of which were expensive and small portions. Not here!! The Happy Clam Shack was less expensive for more lobster and better tasting!! I really enjoyed the sweet tasting coleslaw that came with the meal. We also ordered a dozen steamers!! Highly recommend this place. I only wish I knew about this place sooner so I could have try everything else on the menu (I hear the fry clams are great, but we ran out of days). 10 out of 10
