About

We are proud to be Rockland's only casual lobster eatery, with a protected and heated outdoor deck overlooking Rockland Harbor. Fresh seafood, beer and wine, great prices! Opening for the 2018 season on Wednesday, May 23rd. Hours are 11:00 am to 9:00 pm

Story

Rockland, Maine is the Lobster Capital of the World. What better place than to open Claws, a casual outdoor lobster eatery. This "lobster in the rough" style of eating was made famous during the1970's by the Boothbay Region Lobstermens' Co-op of Boothbay Harbor and is the inspiration behind Claws.

With amazing views of the inner Harbor and also of the Breakwater and lighthouse and the covered and heated expansive deck, diners will be able to enjoy watching the boats motor by and see the goings-on at the Rockland Community Sailing Program next door.

The three goals of Claws are to keep our business local, to buy locally caught seafood and provide affordable family dining.

Claws is open seasonally, from mid-May until October 1st. September hours are 11:00am-8:00pm daily.

Best lobster rolls and lobster Mac & cheese. Gorgeous views of the weather's nice enough to eat outdoors. If it's not, I don't think there's any place to eat indoors. But stop there anyway - where else can you get delicious homemade Mac & cheese with a ton of lobster in it? Yummm!!

The view if the boats in the harbor was beautiful from the outdoor seating area. It was taking, but we were warm and dry with a roof over us, clear plastic windows to see the view, and heaters to take off the chill. The food was delicious! The portions were more than enough. The staff was friendly and helpful. The bathroom, though subject to rain getting in if the door was left open, was clean and stocked with all conceivable items that customers could use. Nice souvenirs available! I bought a t-shirt. The decor was fun and I enjoyed taking photos. Loved the giant lobster trap!

Amazing food. Incredibly fresh seafood. The first and chips was some of the best I've had! Nice thick fillets with the perfect amount of breading, the fries were thick cut and perfectly seasoned. Can't wait to go back. Be prepared, there will likely be a line to order.

Good meal. We got the Lobster Bisque, a Crab Salad Melt with Cheddar and the Lobster Mac & Cheese. Everything was tasty and filling. Couldn't finish it all. Be careful of shells, though, found them in the soup and crab salad. Found the Mac to be a bit over-seasoned, but it won an award, so might just be us... All in all a good stop.

I was a bit disappointed with the lobster Mac in cheese. Plenty of lobster meat but the cheese sauce was almost too rich and overpowered the meat. Serving size was enough for 3 people. Lobster bisque was great. Great atmosphere. I would try it again and order differently.
