We’ve taken it upon ourselves to find the best lobster rolls in Maine. This is the 5th roll and the unanimous favorite. Our son got the Lobster Grilled Cheese and said it was his favorite food on the trip. The service here is top notch and the atmosphere is great. We got here before noon and it wasn’t too crowded yet.

Watch out McCloon’s – we may have a new favorite lobster roll!! Basically an entire lobster on the roll. Warm butter to pour over. Seaweed salad and blueberry Cole slaw sides. Loads of fries. Homemade onion rings – the really good kind. And the friendliest staff and owner ever came to check in and welcome us. This is day three in their new location. The lobster roll with fries and side was $25 market price today. (Red’s is $36). Wicked good!

We found Shannon’s Unshelled last year via the Find Me GF app while visiting Boothbay Harbor. We ate there three times in five days last year. They have switched locations since then so be sure to plug them into Google Maps before you head over. Food is outstanding!! We ate lobster rolls, onion rings, pickle fries, blueberry soda, and root beer. All the batter is gluten free, which for us is wonderful, but even my husband who does not have Celiac LOVES their batter! We are back in Boothbay, and after a six hour drive to get here, we immediately went to Shannon’s. We arrived Friday and in less than a week we have already been twice. We will surely be back again before we leave town.

We have been to Maine many times & have had lots of lobster rolls but the lobster roll from Shannon’s is unprecedented! When described as overstuffed – this is an under statement! The bun is stuffed with lobster & then topped with a whole lobster claw! The blueberry coleslaw that is served with the roll is amazing! Everyone working there is so attentive and professional! This is my go to place for lobster rolls!

We stopped here close to closing, and we were starving. Service was beyond excellent to us and others who stopped after us – she was polite and engaging, provided time frames for food, plus she offered substitutions since they had run out of French fries. Food was delicious! We had haddock sandwiches, fresh and tasty. Do not miss out on the fried pickles with homemade dipping sauce and the Maine Blueberry coleslaw! Fantastic!

What a gem! If you are visiting the nearby botanical gardens, this is a must-stop for a delicious meal. We had the lobster rolls and both the coleslaw and the seaweed salad sides are excellent. Everything is fresh as can be and the owners are super friendly. 10/10

A gem! – I was afraid this was a tourist trap, as there are SO MANY lobster roll places in the area. This is definitely NOT a tourist trap. In a great location, ample parking, the village bathrooms are right between the parking and restaurant, and it’s a very quaint and nice area to eat outside. Speaking of outside – all the tables are covered in case you’re hot or it’s raining. Also very dog friendly – there’s a dog park across the street too!

We were in Maine for 5 days and it was our families’ mission to have as much lobster as possible while we were there. Shannon’s lobster roll stood out as by far the best meal we had all week. The outdoor seating area was nice and the staff was super friendly.

Oh my gosh, this place is a treasure. If you are gluten free (by preference, not celiac) this is the best place for you. Everything is delicious. Everyone who works here is beyond polite and just happy to be there. I will be coming here every time I come to Maine. Try the blueberry cole slaw and the blueberry soda!!! And the delicious cookies!!

Delicious lobster roll and clam chowder! Also, great fries, very well cooked and seasoned. The blueberry coleslaw is a tasty addition.
