Shain's is great! We had lobster rolls, chowder and fried fish and it was very tasty. Such a good value! Even though it seemed busy, the line and our food were pretty quick. Definitely must go for a good meal.

The ice cream is good. The hot dogs are boiled on toasted buns. The line is loooong. It's a weekday in May in the 60s and there were about 15 groups in line curving around the tables in the restaurant. They need to make a queue with ropes or something to consolidate the people waiting on actual summer days. Their milkshakes are called frappes and are one size in actuality, but the scoop sizes you choose determine the thickness. Lots of seating in and outdoors with some shade. I just don't see what the big deal about this place is besides being a Maine-named institution.

First time visiting this past weekend. Very impressed with Shain’s. I can’t wait to make this my new frequent stop when up in Maine. Heck of a bargain and the staff was amazing.

I have been coming here since i was a kid and now my kids love to go here, too. The lobster rolls are wonderful at a remarkable price of $8.99 each. The ice cream is great and so many flavors to pick from.
