Casual rustic type New England style seafood, with non-seafood options like pasta and prime rib also. Friendly staff, easy place to take children. Great fried clams and other fried seafood platters. Also, very nice broiled fish like haddock. Good quality food at a reasonable cost. more

Just got back from a week in Ogunquit. Went to Mike's 3 times during our stay after reading the reviews prior to our trip. Was not disappointed...great lobster dinner and clam chowder every time. Service was good, went off season so that helped. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays at this time of the year. more

I've had fried clams all over New England, Legal Sea Foods, No-Name, Baxters on Cape Cod Etc. I have never had fried clams as good as those at Mike's Clam Shack. I was pleasantly surprised when I got the Lobster Stew. I only got a cup but I am going back to get some to bring home. The broth was... more

I visit Mike's 3 to 4 times a year and I am never disappointed!....well, almost never! They have the best chowder, great specials, and wonderful fried food!

I was totally disappointed. We were early so we were seated quickly. My first impression was that it was just a big diner,... more

I visit family in Wells Maine every year and I have been to Mikes Clam shack a few times. This year I did not want to go. I can't understand what the hype is all about. The wait is ridiculously long, No decent seating to wait, No real outdoor seats to sit and wait the 45 minutes or so and... more

The food at Mike's clam shack and by far the best seafood in Maine. I have traveled all over Maine and have yet to find a better place. The seafood is always so fresh. The mixed drinks are fantastic and everything is very reasonably priced. The only down side to Mikes is the fact that it is always packed with... more
