"If you’re driving up to Maine, Bob’s Clam Hut should be your first stop once you’ve crossed the state’s southern border. They do excellent deep fried whole clams, and they also make the best lobster roll in the entire state. You can choose between hot butter or mayo on your roll, but the cold version is the best because it showcases the fresh, sweet lobster without overpowering it. Between the buttered roll and the accompanying well-seasoned fries, you’ll definitely need some of the provided wet naps after eating this one. Bob’s location right off of Highway 1 also makes it a quick detour if you’re planning on road-tripping up the coast. " - anne cruz

The 14 Best Lobster Rolls In Maine

"Once you cross over the border from New Hampshire into Maine, you can celebrate being a mere hour away from Portland’s most famous lighthouse by enjoying some of the state’s best fried seafood. Bob’s Clam Shack is by no means some under-the-radar spot. There are signs and placards from various TV shows and “Best Of Maine” list appearances, plus a perennial line snaking out from the order window. But it more than lives up to the hype.  The crisp and tender fried clams will probably convert your friends who steer clear of anything seafood, and the steak fries that come with seafood baskets or rolls are generously seasoned and have the perfect balance of crunchy exterior and soft interior. Bob’s also makes one of the best lobster rolls in the state—the meat is tender and sweet, and the toasted bun is just the right amount of crispy and buttery. " - anne cruz

"Bob’s Clam Hut in Kittery, ME, does a strong hustle every summer, feeding Route 1 travelers all the fried goods they’ve driven so far for. The Hut is staffed mainly by students riding high on the spirit of summer break and lobster rolls. We spoke to Parker Sikora, Colby College student and model employee, on what life is like behind the counter." - ByMaggie Lange

While visiting from New Hampshire and doing a quick stopover at the outlets, I stumbled upon this spot, a cute, unassuming spot that turned out to be a great find for fresh seafood. A friend and I decided to give it a try. We ordered the Maine Lobster Roll and the Cajun Fish Basket. The lobster roll was absolutely delicious—loaded with fresh, sweet lobster meat and served just right. It definitely lived up to the Maine seafood reputation! The Cajun fried fish in tBasket was also cooked well—crispy, not greasy, and very fresh. While it didn’t have much of the Cajun flavor we expected, it was still a solid, tasty dish. There wasn’t a long wait when we went, but if you’re planning to dine in, it’s a good idea to grab a table, especially during busy times. The service was smooth, and the atmosphere had a laid-back coastal charm. Overall, good choice if you’re craving fresh seafood in the area. Worth the stop!

Being next to the Kittery Trading Post, Bob’s definitely gets busy - be prepared to edit in line, and have your food take 30-45 minutes to come out. Is what it is in the summertime. With this in mind though, it’s run pretty well. Everything was excellent when it came out. We had lobster rolls and clam chowder.

We were there on a Sunday afternoon. It was very busy. We waited briefly in line to order. We got the mozzarella sticks, calamari, onion rings, bbq chicken strips & lobster roll. Chicken strips came with fries and coleslaw. Im very particular about my coleslaw. I prefer it made with Hellmans mayo. There's is not..but its close..not sweet like that gross miracle whip stuff. 😞We waited about 20-25 mins for our food, but it wasn't a terrible wait and the food was very hot & fresh. The food portions were big and the food itself was very tasty and good. We'd definitely go back when we are in the vicinity.

Had the full belly clams and a cup of clam chowda. The clams were lightly breaded and very tasty. There were about 24 in the order. The chowda was very flavorful. Their chowda was better than Petey's. I enjoyed the meal and would eat here again. Price with drink was around $50, but if you're gonna eat good, it's expensive these days. Give it a try.

Saw the reviews and a line outside to pickup the food while heading to the outlet malls l, so we decided we would go there later for lunch. The wait for the food is 15-20 minutes after you place your order and about 10 minutes in line which isn't so bad. The food is good and I would probably stop by there again, but it isn't the best I've had for fried clam bellies, fried oysters or the lobster sandwich we had. Plenty of parking on both sides of the restaurant and plenty of seating inside and out. Good place to go to for a quick visit to the nearby stores.

Im ready to go back right now. The lobster roll with butter was dangerous. And the size was nice. Everything was made fresh, which i appreciate. This place is so good I went twice in one weekend.

All food is breaded. Fish and chips are good. Lobster stew is perfect. We didn’t get extra coleslaw which was ordered. Crab cakes were nasty and smelly(

ICONIC! THE BEST fried seafood there is. The star, though, is their Lobster Stew!! AMAZING! And great location. Right next to Kittery Trading Post and shopping outlets.
