It seems and feels like coastal Maine!

Shannon's Unshelled delivers on the taste and options that you would expect from a quintessential coastal Maine lobster shack. We were happily greeted by a friendly staff and enjoyed the sunlight while we waited for our freshly prepared food. The food followed up every bit of promising start that we were hoping for and we left quite satisfied.

Delicious fried foods and lobster rolls! Their friend pickles were the best I’ve had in the midcoast and their lobster roll was authentic and perfectly prepared (toasted buttered bun, no mayo, sea salt butter on the side 🤌). We also found out they use gluten free breading on all their fried foods which was awesome! Could not tell the difference and no tummy ache later for my partner. Thanks Shannon’s! We’ll be back.

Shannon's has the best lobster roll I've had in years! Generous portion of very fresh lobster, tender, delicious ,CHILLED, on a warm toasty roll with melted butter. I've had many mediocre rolls from other places and this one is absolutely stellar! Great chowder, onion rings and seaweed salad as well. Shout out to Jules and the crew who provided warm hospitality and friendly service. It's a 4 and a half hour drive but we will be back.

Watch out McCloon’s - we may have a new favorite lobster roll!! Basically an entire lobster on the roll. Warm butter to pour over. Seaweed salad and blueberry Cole slaw sides. Loads of fries. Homemade onion rings - the really good kind. And the friendliest staff and owner ever came to check in and welcome us. This is day three in their new location. The lobster roll with fries and side was $25 market price today. (Red’s is $36). Wicked good!

We found Shannon’s Unshelled last year via the Find Me GF app while visiting Boothbay Harbor. We ate there three times in five days last year. They have switched locations since then so be sure to plug them into Google Maps before you head over. Food is outstanding!! We ate lobster rolls, onion rings, pickle fries, blueberry soda, and root beer. All the batter is gluten free, which for us is wonderful, but even my husband who does not have Celiac LOVES their batter! 😋 We are back in Boothbay, and after a six hour drive to get here, we immediately went to Shannon’s. We arrived Friday and in less than a week we have already been twice. We will surely be back again before we leave town.

Excellent little seafood shack in charming Boothbay Harbor. Stopped by for lunch with my partner and we got the Shrimp Basket and a Lobster Roll. Very tasty local shrimp were freshly breaded and fried to perfection. Fries were really good too! Partner enjoyed her lobster roll which was stuffed with sweet delicious meat. Staff were all super nice as well. Would def recommend if you want a casual meal that tastes great!

We've taken it upon ourselves to find the best lobster rolls in Maine. This is the 5th roll and the unanimous favorite. Our son got the Lobster Grilled Cheese and said it was his favorite food on the trip. The service here is top notch and the atmosphere is great. We got here before noon and it wasn't too crowded yet.

This is a must try while you are spending time in Boothbay or you will have regrets. The freshest seafood and made to order. Shannon's came highly recommended by a friend whom recently vacationed out here. The meal, price and service did not disappoint.

We ordered the lobster roll (lots of meat, flavorful and fresh), fried shrimp (buttery, fresh, lightly battered and golden) and the haddock sandwich (gigantic, super fresh, crispy on the outside and lightly battered. Everything was phenomenal. I regret not eating here again before we left.

The folks behind the counter are very upbeat and super friendly. Thanks for a hearty meal 🩵.

Love this place!! A gem and so glad we stumbled upon it. Best lobster roll yet and my mom had the freshest haddock. You won't be disappointed go eat and enjoy and make sure you eat the edible flower!

We waited to find the best lobster roll & we found it at Shannon’s Unshelled!
Shannon’s was recommended by a local. They use fresh, locally caught lobster. They serve it cold or warm. We had one cold & one warm. It is served with fries & a choice of seaweed salad or blueberry coleslaw. We accompanied the lobster roll with Blueberry Soda Maine root beer.

What a gem! If you are visiting the nearby botanical gardens, this is a must-stop for a delicious meal. We had the lobster rolls and both the coleslaw and the seaweed salad sides are excellent. Everything is fresh as can be and the owners are super friendly. 10/10

A gem! - I was afraid this was a tourist trap, as there are SO MANY lobster roll places in the area. This is definitely NOT a tourist trap. In a great location, ample parking, the village bathrooms are right between the parking and restaurant, and it's a very quaint and nice area to eat outside. Speaking of outside - all the tables are covered in case you're hot or it's raining. Also very dog friendly - there's a dog park across the street too!

Food is FANTASTIC. One of the best lobster rolls I've ever had. We also got the special of the day, the shrimp roll, which my hubby thoroughly enjoyed. The Blueberry slaw is super good, I wasn't expecting to like it - but it was delicious. And the seaweed salad outbeats any Japanese restaurant.

Staff is kind, friendly, and tries to wait on you, or at least acknowledge you, immediately. I love Boothbay - the people here are "Wisconsin-nice" if you're from the Midwest, you know what I mean!

We will make this a staple to come to anytime we are in Boothbay. DONT CHANGE A THING!

We have been to Maine many times & have had lots of lobster rolls but the lobster roll from Shannon’s is unprecedented! When described as overstuffed - this is an under statement! The bun is stuffed with lobster & then topped with a whole lobster claw! 🦞The blueberry coleslaw that is served with the roll is amazing! Everyone working there is so attentive and professional! This is my go to place for lobster rolls!

Spent a week in Boothbay Harbor and finally got to try this place! While everyone seems to come here for the lobster rolls, I also really enjoyed the haddock sandwich! Blueberry coleslaw is unique but a great sweet-sour way to finish the meal. I came here two nights in a row at sunset and the views were outstanding, also lots of room for kids and dogs to hang out. On my second night, Shannon was there and was chatting it up with everyone, and even put out some portable fire pits as it got dark. Service also was outstanding, I didn't see name tags (other than "I'm not Shannon," LOL) but everyone I interacted with was super nice and friendly, even though I arrived near closing time both visits. While this spot is slightly outside of harbor town, it's worth the trip!

Was looking for a spot to get some fried fish in boothbay and saw Shannon's had awesome reviews. Checked it out and the service was very friendly (& fun) and the fried shrimp was delicious.

They had bacon wrapped scallops as a special and those were cooked perfectly. If you're looking for fried seafood, look no further as this is a great spot!

We were in Maine for 5 days and it was our families' mission to have as much lobster as possible while we were there. Shannon's lobster roll stood out as by far the best meal we had all week. The outdoor seating area was nice and the staff was super friendly.

We stopped here close to closing, and we were starving. Service was beyond excellent to us and others who stopped after us - she was polite and engaging, provided time frames for food, plus she offered substitutions since they had run out of French fries. Food was delicious! We had haddock sandwiches, fresh and tasty. Do not miss out on the fried pickles with homemade dipping sauce and the Maine Blueberry coleslaw! Fantastic!

Great lunch at Shannon’s Unshelled at the Boothbay common. We had a lobster roll, fish basket, onion rings and fries. Came back another day for the fried clams and lobster bisque. Generous portions, crispy cornmeal batter (gluten free!) and really great service. The meals come with unique sides, either blueberry coleslaw (yum!) or seaweed salad (delish, just like at a Japanese restaurant). We will be back for sure!

Really nice experience. Quick service, and good food that was nicely presented. Had the haddock sandwich with fries and onion rings. Came with coleslaw, pickle, tartar sauce and a tomato salad. Everything was really good, and we enjoyed the picnic tables overlooking the harbor. Highly recommend.
