After wondering why this place had long lines from the moment they opened, I finally stopped later in the day, at a quieter moment. I enjoyed one of tastiest lobster rolls I’ve ever had. It was piled high with lobster on a gluten free bun. You might ask them to go light on the mayo. Very $$$

Four of us are on a tour working our way through New England and have been sampling lobster rolls from Newport to Boston to Kennebunkport. All of us agreed that these were the very best lobster rolls we have ever had! They are loaded with delicious, fresh lobster meat on perfect rolls that complement the seafood. We definitely recommend ordering them with both mayo and butter. The Clam Shack is well known and there will often be a line. But our order was ready within five minutes. We sat at picnic tables across the street from the water along the main street of Kennebunkport. Nothing fancy, but the experience was perfect. Just what we were looking for. You won’t go wrong with The Clam Shack! Bonus: I have Celiac and must be gluten free. I have never been able to order a lobster roll before. The Clam Shack has a really good gluten free roll and I was able to have my first lobster roll!
