They have a few parking spots and some street parking available nearby too. It's a spot that you order at the counter and get a number and can enjoy either an indoor or outdoor table and wait for the food to be delivered. We enjoyed a table outside in a perfect shaded area on a beautiful day. Inside was a perfect rustic and homey vibe with some live music during our visit. Both inside and out were popular choices and we had a little line before ordering but minimal wait. Food wise my I got a lobster cilantro and lime lobster roll, while my wife got a Lemon Dill Lobster roll (both currently $30 market price). We split a large basket of fries and could not pass up splitting a current special of Homemade Blueberry Bread Pudding with Lemon Glaze. We know we made good choices when the worker taking our order was telling use we made the perfect choice of our food spread. The lobster rolls were tasty and included a good amount of lobster to them! Fries were crispy and only could have used a touch more salt and finally the bread pudding was amazing and the perfect bite to finish our meal! What a fantastic spot worth seeking out! I know even as Maine locals my wife and I would seek this spot out again. A must try if you are in the area.

The roll was fresh and delicious, the huge chunks of lobster were fresh and tasty. I got the butter option and it wasn't too heavy on butter at all. The side of cole slaw was great too.

I wish the blueberries were integrated more and not just on top, but I would still order it again, it was so good. Friendly staff too! Parking right outside, indoor and outdoor seating, restroom inside and they take cash or credit cards.

We were walking around town and I remember seeing this place on the map. So we decided to at least…read moreget a visual of this place as it had positive reviews on Yelp - avg rating of 4.5 It was still fairly early, however we could see the line was forming. We decided to give it a chance, since most of the people there seemed to be local or at least seasonal locals. Given this was just a "snack" for us, we decided on a hotdog, cheeseburger and shared some fries. The ordering process can get a little chaotic, as there is a lot of conversation at the grill with orders being placed and prepared and people chatting in line. We placed our order and were given a number and you could stay at the window (which gets really crowded) or you can have a seat at the picnic table. I decided to wait near the window while I took pictures for Yelp. From what I could hear the prices of the seafood options are "high" although I didn't think it was unreasonable given how fresh the seafood is. We didn't even get seafood and really enjoyed our food. Very fresh and didn't have old grill flavor. We would definitely return if in the area, I would love to try the haddock if we had more time.

They are a cash only operation but they do have a small ATM built-in into the trailer. It's a gravel parking lot with picnic tables. There is a porta potty on site as well. They serve a variety of fried food and seafood. Along with several sandwich options. They have a sign on the trailer that explains it's not fast food. We were the fourth order in queue and it took about 20 minutes to get our order. That was reasonable, in my opinion. Our food was tasty and hot!! They don't season their French fries but you can use their salt, pepper & seasoning shakers at the window. There is no covered seating so if it's raining, one would likely stay in their vehicle to eat. There was a steady stream of customers placing orders We can't wait to go back!!!

Big pieces of perfectly cooked lobster in a warm grilled roll. It comes with garlic butter on the side, golden brown fries and blueberry coleslaw. The coleslaw is a must try. The blueberries are tiny Maine berries and add both color and flavor. Shannon's has outside seating at picnic tables as well as some indoor seating and restrooms.

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.
