There were about 35 of us going here, without a reservation, and they pleasantly placed us all together with about a 30 minute wait time. The parking lot was filled and I found this remarkable! We had a large variety of dishes and I didn't hear one complaint. the prices were reasonable for the location and amount of serving.

Used to be our most favorite seafood spot. They always had large tasty helpings for a great price. We now food the service not as friendly, more of a fast pace fast food attitude since they enlarged. They have tons of room, nice lounge and atmosphere, but very very busy on summer weeks. We have waited in the past but... More

When the order came I was shocked. My wifes roll was barely full with small stingy pieces of lobster. When mine... More

All their seafood is fresh and so tasty. Even in the off-season thy were pretty busy. I had the Lobster Pot pie which is real lobster topped with a seafood stuffing. (You can get it baked or broiled). The portion was small but filling. My wife enjoyed the fried whole clams; a generous portion. Another night we both had surf... More

I picked up my friend from Florida at the airport and our first stop as we headed to the condo was Mike's. My friend enjoys fine dining and was very impressed with Mike's. We sat in the bar area, very relaxing and had an amazing dinner, haddock, steamers, stuffed mushrooms and a nice cold beer. The staff was friendly and... More

Contrary to popular belief, my experience at this landmark restaurant was less than stellar. I went with close family for a birthday celebration in the middle of summer, high season. The food was average at best and not good enough to earn my return business. However, I conitnue to see the parking lot full and the retaurant packed, so perhaps... More

This was my first visit. It was a Friday night and the place was hopping. There was no seats anywhere it seemed and we only stopped in for drinks so we found a table just past the bar. There was live entertainment that night, the singer was excellent. We had a few drinks and left. The next day we stopped... More

We were in Maine for Patriots Weekend and our first stop after checking in, is a trip to Mike's. This place has more than doubled in size in the many years we have been going there, but the food and service have never been anything less than excellent. In the land of great Clam Chowder, Mike's is second to none.... More

We were travelling at the end of March and had tried to go to a lobster place in Ogunquit, but everything was closed. We asked a local and Mike's Clam Shack was recommended. So off we went! We had a lovely meal. Our main reason for going was for the children to try some lobster. It was great, as was... More
