The best lobster I've ever had. This was a 3 1/2 pound soft shell beauty! Yes, soft shell; super easy to open. So good the first time we came back the next day. And if you have Celiac, they also serve incredible GF clam chowder and corn chowder with chunks of lobster. Have it all! Oh... and the ladies taking care of you are sweethearts!

Best Clam Chowder and Blueberry Pie we have had on the island since we got here in May to work the summer. We have been to many places but this one is special! Clam Chowder is gluten-free with the most amazing broth and a generous amount of clam chunks (even whole clams). Not heavy on the potato either. It is genuinely the best. The blueberry pie is to die for. The best I've ever had. Crust is flaky, generous tiny Maine blueberry filling with a hint of cinnamon. Absolutely worth buying a whole pie. I had to talk myself out of buying another one on the same day. The lobsters you can get there are huge! You can see them in the tanks before you order, they are enormous and cooked up fresh before your eyes. Everything is buttery good. Prices are super for both portions and quality. This place is a real gem!
