“Great Dinner!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

We enjoyed eating a Mabel's Lobster Claw on our last night in Maine. It was a great dinner. We enjoyed the outside seating.

“Best deal for Lobster in town!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

We were looking for a casual but great seafood and found it at Mabel's. 2 pound Lobsters for $20! Great deal! The place gets packed so best to have a reservation. Well worth the wait if you have to wait. The Lobster Mac and Cheese was also a big hit! President Bush's favorite place!

“The best lobster in New England”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

Mabel's is a Kennebunkpot icon, it is THE place to go for fresh seafood, especially lobster, while in town. They have a seasonal scheduled, closing from mid-October until spring, so be sure to ask if they are open before traveling out, but if they are open and you want really, really good seafood, stop in. It's a locals place, jeans are welcome. They serve Sam Adam's beer, along with other choices. Prices are what you'd expect for seafood, but not gouging. Enjoy!

Nice folks serving great lobster rolls with tons of lobster & little mayo. Asked several locals where they go for lobster rolls and Mabel's Lobster Claw was the unanimous answer,
. Rightfully so
