We walked all over town,visiting many of the shops, and stopped into Mabel's for lunch. We were seated at a cozy, wooden booth and were told about the numerous specials of the day. Everything sounded great. We started with, and shared, an order of the lobster mac-n-cheese. It was great! We also had fried shrimp platters. It was a generous... More

While in Kennebunkport, we chose to have lunch at Mabel's as I have a great-niece by the same name!! It turned out to be a real treat. The waitress even gave me a souvenir for my little Mabel. I had the lobster roll that was very good - well prepared and fresh. We enjoyed talking with two ladies who lived... More

Mabel's is a place our family returns to year after year. We went on a long weekend in Mid-April to find that Mabel's was open- a pleasant surprise. One of the best dishes is the Duke, a baked seafood dish topped with buttery cracker crumbs in a New England traditional manner. The nice touches include an array of muffins before... More

We had a great meal at Mabels at the suggestion of the couple at our bed and breakfast. My husband had the lobster mac and cheese and I went for the 2 lb Lobster Savannah. Holy mackerel! What a meal, he ended up helping me with the scallops and shrimp that are stuffed inside the lobster. It was divine. Very... More

We stopped by Mabel's for lunch and found great food and great service. I would highly recommend the lobster mac and cheese and lobster rolls. We also tried all the home made pies - the blueberry pie was delicious! A great gem of a lunch spot!

Three of us went for dinner, based on other reviews, but were not impressed. We found the place to be unpretentious. One in our party had the half crab, half lobster roll and fries. He said it was ok. I had clam chowder and a salad. Dressing choice was vinegar & oil or house ranch with horseradish. I asked for... More

We ate out on the patio & it was very clean & quiet. The servier was friendly, and always helpful. The clam chowder was the BEST!!! I would recommend this spot to everyone. Cons: parking is almost non-existant and we were there during off season. I recommend that you walk there, if possible.

We went during the off-season for lunch and got a table immediately. We both had the clam chowder which was delicious. I had the crab cake salad and it was amaing. The crab cakes were properly cooked and the dressing complimented them perfectly! The value can't be beat as I paid almost triple the price for awful crab cakes at... More

We had clam chowder and lobster Newburg. They were both very good and tasty. The prices were reasonable. The blueberry pie was not that good.

We showed up with no reservation on a saturday night in late April. Okay, this is not the season. But it happened to be a gorgeous early spring evening on the Maine coast and for an informal seafood dinner with good friendly fast service in a perfect location with reasonable prices, this place can't be beat. The fried clams were... More
