The Lobster Shack

We were up visiting Maine and decided to get a real Maine lobster roll. After reading the other reviews we decided to head on over to the Lobster Shack (aka Perry’s Lobster Shack). First and foremost the food was fabulous. If the weather had cooperated then the ambience would have been great too. All the seating is outside on the deck because the Lobster Shack is literally a shack. If the weather is poor plan to eat in your car.

Fantastic. 5 stars for lobster and 5 stars for fantastic setting. Very low key place off the beaten path. Find a way to go and you won’t be disappointed. We went last week and I can’t wait to go back

The lobster roll was amazing as was the blueberry pie… melt in your mouth. He actually made it curb side service with fresh coffee.

Great Food! Great Service! Great View! Perry’s has it all. No frills — just the perfect, sweet lobster! We used to go all the way to Trenton for lobster. Never again. Perry’s will be our go to place from now on. We had the full lobster dinner as well as the lobster roll — while not as great as Red’s it was delicious. Everything was reasonably priced and the service was awesome. I would give this 10 stars!

This is the best lobster roll I’ve ever had and I’ve had quite a few. The bun isn’t the normal hot dog style bun, but an actual roll. Soft and buttered. So amazing! Went here twice for dinner the few days we stayed in the area. I regret not going more than that. Also, the view out here is beautiful on a warm, sunny day.

With a family cabin just down the road, we have been going to Perry’s for years for lobster and other seafood, but hadn’t taken part in the restaurant experience until this summer. What a treat!
The first thing you notice is the amazing view down Union River Bay and on to Mount Desert Island. The place was already quite full, not a difficult feat when you have just a few tables on a pier, but the staff worked quickly to get us seated. A large group had ordered just before we arrived, so the service was a little slow. Understandable, considering the size of the mostly outdoor kitchen.
My wife had a full shore dinner with lobster, corn on the cob, steamer clams, etc. everything came out hot, fresh, and delicious! I had a lobster roll filled with huge chunks of clean meat and just enough mayo and lettuce to keep things interesting. We had brought our own drinks, but they had canned soda and some local non alcoholic beverages available.
When you need lobster and don’t want to wait around in busy Bar Harbor or elsewhere, this is your place to go. With unbelievable views and simple but excellent fare, grab a bottle of wine and head on down for a small town dining experience!

We were staying down the road in a B & B and decided to go here for lunch. We arrived at 1:30 thinking the lunch crowd would be gone. Wrong! We had to wait for a table. However, the wait was well worth it as the lobster dinner I ordered was outstanding. If you like lobster you will love the lobster here. Order the lobster/​clams special. Comes with slaw, corn on the cob, roll and melted butter for $ 22.00. Be prepared as they accept cash or check only. I also ordered a Blueberry soda and I was in heaven. If you are out on the Neck this is a must stop.

Best tasting lobster roll I’ve ever had. Great views. Nice people. Byob. Go there!

The lobster here is fabulous! You can either purchase your own or they will cook up a nice dinner for you. Definitely worth the try! :-)
