    We really enjoyed the lobster roll kit sold on Gold Belly. Here In California, we rarely get fresh…read moretasting lobster. Usually the freezing and shipping destroys the fresh taste. The lobster roll kit arrived well-packed, very cold, not frozen (we appreciated that the rolls were not refrigerated) tasted sweet and fresh, had ample perfectly cooked lobster, and a great mix of tails, claws, and knuckles. It tasted as though it had just come off the boat. and made a truly memorable meal. There is no wonder it has been rated as the best lobster roll in Maine. It was worth every penny.

    Rating: 4.5 Came to…read moretry this place for punch as they are listed as top spot for their lobster roll. It's located at an island so you have to drive over a bridge to get there. It's a very nice area with water front, outdoor chairs and tables. Parkings are available at the site. Once we got there we went up to see place our order. They have an ice-cream shop next door, bathroom and hand washing area as well. We ordered their lobster roll and clam chowder. Once we ordered we grabbed one of the seat and waited for our order to arrive. Within 5minutes or so our order came out and waitress brought them to our table. Lobster roll came with side of mayo, butter, coleslaw and cape cod chips. Coleslaw and cape cod chips were nothing special. The lobster roll was pretty good. Lobster itself has faintly sweet flavor and was good without any butter or mayo. The bread was toasted well with lots of butter. Lobster roll was delicious. Clam chowder was pretty goof as well. Came with oyster crackers that you mix up which is standard. Good flavor. Service was good and fast. They do have some napkins and water self serve. Seats and tables were bit sticky so had to use some napkins to clean. Overall i liked the place. Quality and fresh lobster roll that is flavorful and not overwhelming with condiments. Clam chowder was good but i've had similar quality ones back in RI where i'm from. Price was ok i about $30 for one small ish lobster roll which is standard nowadays. If you want good lobster roll this is the place

The sheltered outdoor space, where we ate, were picnic tables. There is an outdoor patio and also an indoor dining area in the bar. Service was a bit slow, but the food was served appropriately warm. Since we stayed at the nearby East Wind Inn, this eatery was within a short walk from us. Prices were reasonable, making this a good place for lunch.

    Happy Clam is about as far off the beaten path as you can get in Downeast Maine. And though it is…read morethe only restaurant for miles, I expect that many tourists would pass on it based on the appearance, that of the clichéd "dive bar." But those in the know - tourists and locals alike - ensure that it is always busy, and it seems especially popular with bikers. Most of the rowdiest patrons choose the outdoor pavilion out back. I believe it serves the same menu but it's much louder, especially when there's live music or karaoke. Not my thing so I sit inside. The food is a peculiar mix of typical bar food, New England seafood, and German. Yes, German. Schnitzel, Rinder Rolladen, Goulash, Spaetzle, you'll find all of these. I've tried the Schnitzel, which I got with red cabbage and spaetzle. It was a generous portion and pretty decent. Authentic? Perhaps not. The "German Potato Salad" was regular mayonnaise-based with chopped pickles and bacon. Not that there's anything wrong with that but it's not German Potato Salad. On another occasion I tried the lobster reuben which has lobster instead of corned beef. Good but rather messy to eat from the melted cheese and Thousand Island dressing along with the plentiful lobster. Fries were ok, not outstanding. On a third occasion I tried the crab cakes which was a mistake and I should have known better. Salty, too much Old Bay, lots of filler. Gourmet or "fine dining" this is not. But definitely worth a visit or two or three. But be aware: the "dive bar" atmosphere also extends to the ambience and cleanliness - or lack thereof. The men's room smelled exactly as you might imagine, and the soap and paper towels had both run out. The ice bucket, curiously, was on the customer side of the bar, 6 inches from where I was sitting, separated by a flimsy plexiglass shield. So I advise you to stick to beer or wine - avoid the cocktails. Other than that, it has a fun kitchy feel to it, 70s TV posters, photos of sports celebreties and the like, and too much patriotic decor for my liking. But my waitress was friendly, I've enjoyed my visits, didn't get sick, and would probably go back.

The clams were very big and the sauce they were in was packed with flavor! The fish was nice and the veggies on the side were so good it was the best asparagus we've ever had! The service was good although they were out of a couple dishes we wanted, I don't blame them because we did come at 8:30 and they close at 9:00, so we had to compromise and try some new dishes but we were very pleased with them! We sat on a nice booth over looking the waterfront, just beautiful! Definitely come down in Camden, this was one of our best meals of the trip!

There is some seating under a fabric roof providing some shade. The oyster shooters were super fun and mussels tasty (though oysters/mussels were on the small side). I tried the trout dip as well, and may have ordered if we stayed longer. I enjoyed my cucumber cocktail. The server didn't seem to know much about happy hour upon asking. Happy hour here means everything is 10% off (no special menu). Prices are a little high here, but you're paying a premium for the location, view and atmosphere.
