    Lobster roll and strawberry lemonade
    Amy F.

    A group of about 30 of us rode our motorcycles here today. There's plenty of seating, both covered and uncovered. There's also plenty of parking, some on gravel and some on pavement. It's very clean, and the staff clearly have pride in the establishment. Everyone was very friendly. It was already busy when we arrived, but the staff were prompt getting our orders. I had the lobster roll, and I have to say I think it's the best one I've ever had. The lobster was very fresh and cold, and the ratio of mayonnaise was perfect. I also really enjoyed the coleslaw, which was fresh and crisp. The strawberry lemonade alone was worth the trip! So refreshing!

    Our group with the Moose!

    I came in with a LARGE group on a Saturday for lunch and everything was really top notch. Service was very friendly, there was something for everyone on the menu, and the ample parking and seating was much appreciated by our group. I got some clam bellies and also got to sample some other items from our party; there was a grilled cheese that was particularly good. We really loved taking pictures with the Moose too!

    A quintessential new england snack bar, decent food but nothing special When I think snack shack, I'm usually thinking teens on summer break, scooping ice cream out of giant freezers. The food's pretty much out of bags or cans, but it's okay for what it is. The Main Moose is very much your standard snack shack. I will say that it was impressively busy. As one of the sole food venues in the area, it was doing fairly well for itself. If it's a hot day in the area, expect a wait. The place is animal friendly, so lots of folks had their puppers about. There's very seldom a situation that is not enhanced by happy boi's looking for treats. Food wise, not great. The shake was icy and thin even after asking for the shake to be thick. They used a vanilla base and added hot coffee into it, which makes it technically a coffee milkshake, but didn't have that strong coffee flavor one would expect. Hot dog was grilled well, but nothing out of the ordinary. Same with the fries, nothing spectactular. A snack shack isn't about the food though. Snack shacks are for the quick and functional meals. In which case, they managed to dole out the food relatively quickly given the massive amounts of crowds there. That and the venue was relatively pretty. So I give it a 4 for meeting the expectations of the location, with a pretty location and puppers. If you got a bunch of hungry kids and happen to be in the area, This is a place to go

    Forgot to share a post of my lunch a while ago! Not sure how I forgot. The service was prompt and friendly! Food and ambiance was excellent! Definitely recommend you stop in to the Main Moose even if it just for an ice cream or milkshake. I'm sure you'll be back!

    The food, atmosphere, service was wonderful... luckily the weather was also beautiful. I had the lobster roll (hot) & needless to say they do NOT skimp on how much lobster they give you! Very generous portion.

    Fried Seafood Platter
    Ben S.

    We randomly passed this place while staying at a lake nearby and my wife, who is obsessed with moose, insisted we had to go. We were expecting a normal "roadside burger stand" but this place was so much more. We got there right after a large group so the wait was a little long, but I suppose not any different than if a bunch of small groups were in front of us. It was obviously recently built and very nice and well decorated with a lot of "fun"things to do while you waited. All of the food was very good. I got a fried seafood platter which was significantly better than the one I got at an Oceanside restaurant a few weeks prior. My only issue was all the seafood was piled on top of the fries so they got really soggy. After dinner we of course had to get the ice cream. At my normal spot, I get three scoops so that's what I ordered. Thing is their scoops are massive and cones were smallish so everyone of us needed to get a cup to put it in. Ice cream was all Hersehey's brand - not bad but felt the flavors missed the mark from the descriptions.

    Fish tacos
    Robin H.

    I really really wanted to love this place- but my expectations were immediately crushed. I ordered the fish tacos - presentation was beautiful for a small side of road hamburger joint. They would have been a score had the cod not been so overly fishy tasting that it left you with a horrible taste in your mouth. My daughter ordered the hot lobster roll with the same issue. Now I get we are not by the water but people raved about these specific items and we were very disappointed. On the plus side my mother loved her Reuben and needed to bring 1/2 home. We had to go up several times to ask for items in our order that they forgot- the clam chowder ( which was ok, but not much to write about) as well as the coleslaw and pickles that were supposed to go with meals. The employee stated you need to ask fir them since most people do t want it?! Hmmm?? Ok that's a bew one for me. We also ordered ice cream afterwards- to say the employee couldn't find her way out of a paper bag would be putting it lightly. Simple asks were a challenge for her- small Reg with strawberry cheesecake ice cream- not rocket science- hood was main brand and I can't remember the other - portions were good but for 3 one scoop cones of hood ice cream at almost $14 - no thank you. So for a small dude if the road joint with ok'd food and $100 later for 3 adults im not a fan.

    Super fun crew, extremely attentive and helpful. Couldn't have asked for a better first-time experience. I had the bacon cheeseburger, substituted fries for house onion rings (+2.00) and the coleslaw side with a house strawberry lemonade. Didnt get ice cream, but am super excited to return for their mint moosetracks and PB&J Milkshake! Thanks, Linda!!

    Blt on white with fries a pickle and cole slaw. It's pretty good.

    Is this open year round? Is there inside seating?

    Seating is all outside and I believe they will be closing in October.

    I have been wanting to try this place for 2 years. I don't typically come up to this area- but…read moreoccasionally work brings me this way. So for the past 2- I was always coming up on the ONE weekday they were closed. I finally saw that it was open today and went out of my way to try it! It was absolutely worth the wait. I got a strawberry watermelon smoothie and you could tell it was all fresh fruit used and it was so delicious! Definitely top 5 best smoothies I've ever had!!! This reminded me of a smoothie I got in the Dominican Republic- so FRESH & so delicious. The place is small- but ADORABLE! It was IMMACULATE in terms of cleanliness. I didn't see a speck of dust anywhere and the toppings for ice cream- appeared out of a magazine- it looked that picture perfect. They have a little swing against a wall- with a neon sign that says the name of the establishment. It appeared functional- but I didn't want to break it- if it wasn't so I didn't try it. Lol. Service was great! Friendly and personable staff and my smoothie came right out. It took under 4 minutes for me to get this delicious smoothie!! If you're in the area and you enjoy smoothies - I highly recommend trying this spot! My smoothie is amazing!

    This place is absolutely amazing!! I've been here a few times now and I always get the delight…read morewhich is a Ferrero Rocher in a milk shake type thing, it's amazing!!
