    Beef Taco
    Simon W.

    The Zach Shack was definitely an unexpected surprise on my trip to Maine. For a trailer roadside shack, they sure know how to do several things very well. I definitely dug my fish tacos and fried zucchini fries. The fish tacos was definitely not thin piece of fish, but a nice thicker cut, and plated nicely with fresh salsa on top. The fried zucchini fries were also similarly thicker cut which I honestly didn't think would work. I would have thought that with a thicker cut, the zucchini would have required a longer cook time in the oil that would have made the exterior just a tad overdone. To my surprise, both the fish and zucchini were not overdone, and instead just perfect. A nice sprinkle of parmesan cheese added a needed salty profile to the zucchini. As a true roadside shack, there is seating outdoors on old school long wooden picnic tables. I visited after peak lunch time so there was plenty of seating which made my experience pleasant. I sure hope these guys stick around for my next trip up to Maine.

    Lobster roll and onion rings
    Deborah S.

    As part of our lobster roll pilgrimage The Zack Shack was chosen because it was open. We have found at our visit to Maine during the fall season that quite a bit of restaurants are closed for the season. I ordered a side of onion rings with my roll. They offer regular portion rolls for about 18 bucks and double portion of lobster for around 29 bucks. The regular portion was just right for me. The roll was good but I wasn't a huge fan of the onion rings. They weren't bad but not my favorite. I didn't like the texture of the breading. With that being said this is a taste/texture issue with me and I'm sure overall would be fine for most palettes. The service was friendly and quick.

    Perfectly cut and cooked onion rings.

    We wouldn't have come here hadn't Susan from the Causeway restaurant recommend this place. Our stay at Maine had ended and we needed a place to eat before driving back to Portland for our flight. Thankfully this came to us as a suggestion the night before and I am glad we stopped by because their food was really good and of great value. We had the lobster roll and the crab roll with a side of onion rings! Both rolls tasted great and the onion rings were perfectly battered and crisp. I would love to try more on their menu since I've read that their burgers were good too.

    Stopped by today after reading the glowing reviews. I was not disappointed. I ordered the onion rings and fish tacos. The onion rings were crunchy and were delicious. Unlike some onion rings they were not over battered. The shrimp tacos were also delicious and an order of 2 filled me up. Overall I would have to say my food was outstanding.

    I don't often find myself in the Waterville area, so when I needed lunch I turned to Yelp and I'm…read moreso glad this spot popped up! It was a very convenient location on KMD with helpful staff and delicious food. My food also came out quickly and they had several tables and chairs on their lawn, so it was a nice spot to grab lunch. I saw recommendations for their fish tacos here on Yelp so I intended to get those, but they weren't offering them the day I stopped in. So be prepared for their menu to change and rotate. Instead, I opted for shrimp tacos and they were great! After looking at the menu I wasn't sure if I wanted poutine or fried mushrooms to go with my tacos so I asked the woman working at the counter. She highly recommended the poutine, so I ordered that and I'm very happy I did. Their homemade gravy had shredded beef in it, which was delicious. The cheese curds were melted nicely and the fries were fresh and high quality. What a great find! Thanks Yelp and Shebas Wicked Kitchen!

    Excellent dog friendly lunch spot. Super friendly and fast. Was there on a Wednesday. There's a…read morelarge grassy yard with shade. Only tried the quesadilla which had nicely grilled chicken and loads of green pepper and onion. They don't carry any red salsa, and the accompanying creamy sauce was a bit bland, but you can ask for some mango salsa on the side (used for some tacos). Great road stop!

    Sweet Baby Jesus. If…read moreyou're the sort of person who requires cloth napkins, tasteful lighting and a waiter named Chad who explains the provenance of every pea on your plate, don't go here. But if you want honest food at today's prices, pull up a chair. The lobster roll was a revelation. Not that mayonnaise-based lobster purée somebody scraped out of a tub and smeared onto a bun that had been sitting around since the Carter administration. This was real chunks of lobster, lightly seasoned, piled onto a fresh roll and left alone to taste like lobster. Then came the steamers. Sweet mercy. Those steamers were the best thing I have tasted since 1974, and I'm not entirely sure what happened in 1974, but apparently somebody knew how to steam a clam. The service was excellent--friendly, attentive and without the usual modern-day restaurant ritual of wondering whether your server has forgotten you exist. The décor? Let's just say aging fish camp chic. If you're looking for polished brass and a chandelier imported from France, keep driving. If you want the feeling that somebody might walk in carrying a cooler full of flounder, you're home. For the love of all that is holy, give this place a try. Come hungry. Leave happy. And if you encounter a cloth napkin, somebody has probably made a terrible mistake

    If you're in Bar Harbor, the Travelin Lobster is the lobster stand you need. We visited this great…read moreplace on our first night, we had lobster rolls and clam chowder that was exceptional, with generous portions and priced fairly. The employees were fun and they made the experience nicer. The next day it was time for lunch and my husband said lets go back to the Traveling Lobster, I said (and later regretted) no let's try somewhere else. We tried a place with a catchy lobster name and the teenage boy, behind the counter of the takeout as he handed us our change said, you're leaving me a tip - right? In unison we both said no. I added we don't tip workers at McDonalds, we're not tipping you and even if we did, we wouldn't tip you because of your demand, he walked away nonplussed, to add insult to injury the food was mediocre for the price. Later that afternoon we tried another lobster stand, and it was worse; the food was terrible for the price, we ordered a side of lobster mac and cheese and there was not a shred of lobster in it, we ended up taking it back and getting our money. Starving, we went back to the Traveling Lobster and had another great meal, listened to trivia and left satisfied. What we learned is if a stand isn't busy or has few cars, don't bother, there's a reason. By all means go the Travelin Lobster, the parking lot is busy, the line moves fast and the food comes out fast and excellent, the employees don't attempt to shame you into tipping them and when you order lobster mac and cheese, you get plenty of lobster. I also learned that my sweet husband is sometimes right :).
