On Saturday, April 26, 2018 my husband and I went to the Lobster Shack restaurant in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. We arrived at 6:15 p.m. and found the line out the door and spilling on to the walkway. It was a quick 15-minute wait to get to the front, where we could order our seafood.

The Lobster Shack is a rare breed in a restaurant. You are allowed to bring your own adult beverages. They cannot be already opened, but if you care to have your favorite wine, beer, hard cider or wine cooler with your meal, then this is the place for you.

The Lobster Shack is located at 225 Two Lights Road, Cape Elizabeth. It is nested right by the Two Lights lighthouse overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. It has picnic tables outside, as well as tables inside for your dining pleasure. Perched above the rocks, this lobster-and-fried-seafood spot has beautiful ocean and lighthouse views. The Lobster Shack is operational from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., daily. It opened for the season on March 31, and will close its doors on October 25. If you want a lobster dinner, please schedule your visit before 7 p.m.
