Great place. Good food, outdoors on the water. Fun! Got a fish sandwich, wife got lobster. Both very good

If you like lobster or other local seafood without the frills, but with delicious food at very fair prices, you must go to Claws. This is a seasonal restaurant. read more

So this is not a sit down restaurant. You order at the shack and get from window when your number is called. Outdoor seating in enclosed porch with heaters. One person takes order and then gets your drinks so the line really backs up. Food was good but seemed a bit pricey. $19 for lobster roll (again not a sit down restaurant). Lobster bisque was good. Kids split a shrimp basket and liked it. The shrimp are small- like popcorn shrimp. read more

Great place, great people, good food overlooking the bay wonderfully decorated bathrooms neat & tidy much love is put into this little seafood spot would recommend would go again. read more

The best fried clams ever. We travel all around New England and have yet to find clams this good. Different tempora and a light crispy coating bring it all together. Old time Clam Shack picnic tables and self serve. Also a couple from New York sat next to us trying to figure out how to eat a lobster. The price of the meal was worth the entertainment. read more

Great location to stop by to grab food & beer (and wine) with a view. Had the Lobster which was fresh along with the Lobster Roll which was really good. Portions on the lobster roll were very generous. We also tried the Pan Seared scallops which were delicious. The staff & owners were very friendly. Would definitely recommend this location. read more

A must eat place when you're in the area! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The fried clams were delicious, lobster rolls and bisque both full of lobster meat. Expect to wait a while for your food during peak hours- but it's totally worth it! read more

Excellent Maine food with great casual feel and view. Adorable t-shirt for my daughter for cheap. Really enjoyed our food and the ambiance. Nothing fancy but that is exactly what we wanted. Thanks! read more

Great lunch! The lazy lobster dinner was amazing & my husband loved his haddock sandwich. The Cole slaw was delicious! It was wonderful to sit outside with a view of the harbor. read more

Lobster roll was delicious. Whole lobster was also good. Didn't care for the calamari. The seafood stew was excellent. Lobster price was okay for the price. Not really much lobster in it. Skip the crab cake. Nice covered outdoor seating overlooking the harbor. read more

Great menu, good prices, great view. Look forward to going back! Try the lobster roll, duh! Stacked with lots of lobster meat. You won't feel shorted. read more

Claws - Nice view to sit and eat. - Seafood Near Me - Rockland, Maine

We saw an ocean side shack with a line and decided to stop. It was an excellent choice. My crabcake burger was flavorful and filling and my Wife's fish tacos came with great sauce and were equally delicious. The place seems more authentic than touristy, so I would definitely recommend going all out on the seafood options. The outdoor seating and picnic tables were difficult with a toddler (they only have 1-2 high chairs and it's tough to squeeze them in) but great for meeting fellow eaters. Also - the VERY friendly lady who takes you order has been mentioned in these reviews a couple times, and it is correct - she is VERY friendly. With a clientele that is mostly traveling through and not sure what to get, that means that ordering may be more of a conversation...and that the line actually moves pretty slowly. She was definitely helpful, but just be aware, you're likely to be queued for a bit. read more

Cute place we found by accident! Lobster rolls were great but the lobster bisque is way too spicy! It's just not necessary! The bathroom is super fun! The decorations are perfect! Haha read more

good fried seafood which is just what we were looking for. we ordered take out so did not get to enjoy 'ambience'

Stopped by last night with a group of 8. Food was fresh and delicious!!!!! So good my wife and I ordered a second lobster roll each. Probably one of the best lobster rolls I have ever had - right up there with Pauli's in Boston. Going to Reds Eats tomorrow to see how they compare. read more

OMG. We were so lucky to find this Lobster restaurant in Rockland. Our first visit to Maine, I went to CLAWS twice. I had the best lobster rolls in my life. The food was terrific, prices very reasonable, the setting was perfect....picnic tables with a view of the water. I cannot say enough except I wish there was a CLAWS restaurant near me in Virginia! Put this on your list. A must do when in the Camden, Rockland area. read more

Perfect taste of Maine! Everything is fresh, portion sizes are generous. The fried Haddock is to die for.

My boyfriend and I are from the Portland area and had a wedding to go to this weekend at the somerset. We decided to step out and grab lunch because we both enjoy good food when we go places we love to try new spots. We found this little gotten gem with the lake view that was great and decided to stop in. I had the grill salmon sandwich with the corn on a cobb and a bean salad. When the lady told me to try the bean salad I told her I didn't want anything heavy. The grill salmon was grill to perfection the corn on a Cobb was so fresh it didn't even stick to my teeth! My boyfriend had a clam boat with fries and Cole slaw! I must say I normally never eat his fried clams but I took a bite of one and ended up eating more than just one! The batter was light but yet so flavorful! We're going back up to Rockport in two weeks and we're definitely going back! read more

Awesome haddock. I'm not a fish person but we actually ended up going their twice while we were in Rockland. Very friendly and cool vibe.

Searched for the best lobster near me in Rockland and Claws came up first. Good reviews..lobster isn't for me I guess. My husband's was good and tender but mine not so much. Also so red stuff came out of the tail that his didn't have. The roll dipped in butter was ok. I don't eat slaw and was over it by the corn. This is after two lobster roll experiences, one with mayo and one with butter and both were tough. So sticking to shrimp and fish. I did fill up on fries and a roll. read more

Great view, awesome food, and friendly staff. We're on vacation and have gotten lobster rolls everyday so we opted for something different and got the crab cake burger and oyster poboy. Both were delicious. Recommend the lemon aioli with the crab cake burger. read more

Great lobster roll with lots of meat Good fries. Quick service thru window. We ate there twice, and just as good both times.

Nice seating and views of Rockland harbor. Took approx 30 minutes for our order a little after the noon rush. Lobster rolls were okay, but not the best in the area. Lots of meat on a nicely toasted roll, but I was surprised that it was lacking in fresh harvested flavor. $42 for two person lunch - a little expensive in our world but worth the experience. read more

Loved everything about this place from the friendly family running the business to the food and even the bathrooms! Do not miss this place if you are anywhere near. Claws was a favorite read more

On a ME road trip with my parents from Old England in New England, we stopped here based on yelp recommendations. It was a beautiful day and we sat on the picnic tables and ate the best lobster roll of the whole trip. My Mum loves crab and lobster and said this was the best meal she ate the whole week in New England, so well deserved 5 stars. Lovely guy who clearly cares running the place, funny comics in the bathroom, this place was an unexpected highlight of that day. read more

Claws - Lobster Roll, Claws, fantastic - Seafood Near Me - Rockland, Maine

Very fresh, best lobster I had in Maine. I ordered the 1.5LB lobster meal and would definitely return to order it again! Staff was friendly and even brought the heat lamps out to the dining area when temperatures dropped significantly. read more

Went during Lobster Festival. Such a wonderful setting with beautiful views. Food is fantastic, lobsters were super fresh and top notch. Highly recommend while visiting Rockland! read more

Delicious/fresh seafood- sit outside and take in the view. No frills but really good lobster rolls, lobster meal and clam chowder!

all of the food is top quality and delicious. I love the owners, #1 lobster restaurant in maine. must stop and eat here. :)

Great lobster roll (it's not mayo-heavy). Yummy fries and calamari. We were there on a cool July afternoon, and we were able sit overlooking the water. Friendly service also. Worth the stop! read more

This place does a great lobster roll. Hit them up in the time just before they open and right before they close (for the season) to avoid the onslaught of tourists since parking is at a premium here. read more

The food was fantastic!! There were 4 of us and each of us got something different- everything was delicious. One in our group had the Lobster Burger, it was so good- you should try it. Additionally, I accidentally left my drivers license here. They were very helpful in getting it back to me. read more

Worth the wait. Portions were huge. Ordered lobster roll, Tidal Trio Seafood Salad, Chowder Combo. Everything was excellent. Best lobster roll we've had so far. Recommend. We liked it more than some other iconic/hyped places in Portland. read more

$20 for twin lobsters... sides $2-$4. Great outdoor seating. Nice view. Lobster rolls were huge! Everything was yummy. We'll be back!

Fresh, delicious and just right portions. Personal service from the owner telling us the story of this great spot! Kindness and smiles never go out of style! read more

Great spot for lunch or dinner. We went on a Thurs night and it was not that busy. We ordered a couple lobster rolls and they are huge and worth every penny! If they gave you an extra roll you could easily make 2 sandwiches with all the meat they give you. We shared a bowl of chowder that was also excellent and had lots of seafood and taste. The small side of Moms potato salad was pretty small but for only 2 bucks it was very tasty. I could eat here every day of the week and be happy as a clam !! They also serve beers and we had a couple local Seadog blueberry beers - very yummy !! Sitting on the small covered deck was nice as it was a nice day out. read more

I was very excited for a good lobster roll based on the Yelp reviews. I found the lobster to be watery and the calamari to be thick, soggy, and lack taste. read more

Best fried clams ever! Lobster roll was meaty & succulent. Owner came over to check how everything was and to see if we needed anything else. Highly recommend!!!! read more

This place is amazing. Lobster roll & lobster mac and cheese were fresh & tasted amazing. The Mac and cheese is the best I've ever had.

For a roadside fish place, I was surprisingly pleased with the food, cleanliness. I had tbe signature haddock sandwich, my husband had the tuna melt. We also got a side of cole slaw and French fries. No inside seating but they have clear drop down flaps for rain and ceiling heaters for cool/cold days. Staff was very friendly, accommodating. This is not the kind of place I typically eat...but I definitely will return. Everyone around us that had the lobster roll was very pleased and complements were flowing from all. Well worthorth it in my opinion. read more
