Nunan's Lobster Hut

Charles Stockdale

My wife and I ate dinner at Nunan’s on a Friday night at the end of July. Warning: the restaurant is not air-conditioned, which makes a difference if it’s 88 degrees outside. On a more positive note, the restaurant is run very well: one is seated quickly; one’s order is taken quickly, and the hostess and waitresses are very welcoming and efficient. (Despite the efficiency, we never felt that we were expected to leave before we’d wish to.) With a boiled lobster dinner comes only a roll and pickles, but you can order from a list of sides. I ordered a baked potato, which cost only $1.75 and was both large and cooked perfectly. The lobsters were cooked perfectly, too, with their shells pre-cracked in all the important places. The only suggestion I’d have regarding the lobster dinner is that a higher quality of melted butter could be used. The butter we dipped our lobster meat in was a little thin and lacked flavor.

No nonsense. These prices and quality are amaze balls. We just came from Bar Harbor, so that is some perspective, but in that light, . 22 or 23 bucks for a lobstah roll where it was like 39 in bah habah... enough said. The Chowder was delicious. Lots of clams (& no sand), savory broth, tender potatoes. I added a little ground pepper and loved it even more The lobster roll was full of firm meat, and my wife, who is a bread aficionado, loved the thick butter-toasted bread.

Fun experience. Excellent lobster but best when hard shells available. Ask! Rustic, lobster in the rough. Very good prices since lobsters are caught by the family. A long time tradition in Kennebunkport and Cape Porpoise area. Very pleasant service.

Lobster was absolutely delicious. It was cooked perfectly and prepared to be so easy to eat! Hubby got the lobster stew and lobster roll. The stew was packed full of lobster, but the roll could have had a better bread to lobster ratio. Finished off with the homemade blueberry pie. Neither of us are pie people, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Our server was very patient and kind as my brain was starting to fade. They were also very respectful of my assistance dog. Very glad we wound up here for dinner!
