They have a great menu with a lot of great seafood options. We got the hot lobster rolls, lobster bisque and clams casino. I have to say everything was great and we left there wondering why we had not been there before. We will definitely be back.

I made a reservation for my husband and myself for 6:00 for outside seating. We arrived at 6:00pm, they said they did not have our reservation, and had no regard for Open Table. They sat us at the only outside table which was 5 feet from the street. The host was useless, and did not care that we had made a reservation. He told us they had no reservation under our name. The only saving grace was our waitress Jennifer. She was lovely, and did everything she could to make a positive experience out of bad situation. Thank you Jennifer! You saved our evening!

We got a great table outside up on the deck, overlooking the water. Of course we got lobster rolls, which were delicious. A few dollars more for a lobster roll than some other places nearby, but given the special views and that they have a decent menu of sides and salads and other entrees, this place is a great choice! A lot of lobster roll places really only have lobster rolls, and you can't make reservations, and they close by 6ish, but Lobster Shack wins on all counts - you can make a reservation, not everybody has to eat a lobster roll, and they stay open through dinner.

Great service and food! Noise level was too loud! There needs to be some buffer.
