Shaws is everything you want and expect a good lobster house to be: fresh bugs, draft beer, friendly service, and a deck overlooking the bay. Visit New Harbor, go on Hardy's Puffin Watch cruise, and enjoy a delicious lobstah! more

this is the best place to have a beer and meal, the atmosphere is fantastic and the food is great. i was reading some of the complaints, and to that i have to say, don't order salad or lazy lobster, or that kind of "city food". stick with the fresh seafood, the lobster, the burgers, the clams. my favorite is... more

Whole lobster and 2 sides for $15. Sits right on the wharf... all plastic utensils and dishes, roll of paper towels on the table... fun! :) My husband had the fried shrimp and loved them. I opted for the lobster newburg. GREAT food and just a cool local feel. It is NOT fine dining, so go and enjoy the atmosphere. more

My first meal at Shaw's was the Coconut Shrimp and Onion rings. The coconut shrimp was much better tasting than that of other restaurants and the dipping sauce was pretty awesome too. My last meal was the Seafood Casarole and I have to admit, that was the most outstanding seafood cassarole I have ever eaten. The sauce was not overwhelming... more

We were very disappointed today. Perhaps it is great for lobsters, but the fried clams had a strong taste, the clam chowder was insubstantial, and the the lettuce in the small salads was old. This is one of the few times that Frommers has led us wrong. We would not return. 8/28/08 more

This is a restaurant that sits on the water. The locals rave about it. The reviews talk about how you can get the best lobster here. They go on to say, if you are there at the right time you can even see the Lobster Men pull in there bounty. Well, well, well. Fergie has to disagree. Husband and I... more

This is the best place, after Warrens Lobster House to get fried seafood, lobsters, and various other sea foods. The views are amazing, and the price is relatively light on the wallet, which is good... for me at least. more
