About

Shain's of Maine in Sanford is a great spot for delicious seafood and ice cream. Their lobster roll and clam chowder combo is an amazing deal at just $11.99, and the lobster roll is packed with fresh, flavorful claw meat. The chowder is creamy and flavorful, and the fries are cooked to perfection. The ice cream is also top-notch, with plenty of unique flavors to choose from. The owner is friendly and welcoming, and the staff is always helpful and kind. It's a great place to take the family for a fun night out, or just to grab a quick bite. The prices are very reasonable, and you won't be disappointed with the quality of the food. Highly recommended!

Definitely a must stop. Seafood prices are very reasonable here and the portions are good size. Had to come back the following day for another round while back home visiting family. Loved the chowder. Tried both lobster rolls. Preferred the one with mayo overall. Whole belly clams were on point. My scallop and clams combo had plenty of both. My least favorite was the piece of haddock I received. It had been overcooked. Be prepared to wait in line. No room for ice cream this time but I know that’s yummy too.

Locally recommended and sourced food. The menu is limited but the lobster roll and the ice cream were delightful. The roll had plenty of lobster for the price including some tail and claw. The chicken parmigiana was okay - tasted like it was frozen from a package. Now the ice cream. This stuff was delicious. Rich and creamy. Generous scoop. One of the best ice creams we have had. It is surprisingly not overly sweet. It balances well in the mouth.

Walk in and place your order. Grab a table, they will call your name when your order is ready. Seafood is great but the chicken is not that great. It’s best to use cash because when you use a CC they give you a choice of what tip you want to give. Shouldn’t have to tip the cashier that takes your order. Otherwise, I’ll be back for the most reasonable prices.

Has to be your go to place if you live around here. My drive is around 13 miles. It’s worth it I like to take advantage of the shorter lines when I can, before it gets crazy in the summer. Don’t get me wrong. I still go and wait in the lines in the summer you can still get good food at a good price here .Ordered the haddock sandwich and the pulled pork sandwich Wednesday special and don’t forget the lobster rolls are the bomb.

Delicious food! We got the lobster roll, chowder and fries combo for $13.99. What a steal! Food was fast, hot and delicious. Order at the counter and enjoy the eclectic antiques while you wait. Homemade ice cream was beyond my expectations! We brought home tornado and apple crumble ice cream (seasonal so get it while it’s there).
