Perry's Lobster Shack - Surry

One of our favorite places and conveniently the closest place) to eat during our stay in Surry. The crab dip/chips is amazing. The crab roll and crab salad also very good. The views are picturesque. The staff is friendly. You can dock your boat and bring your own wine/drinks.

The Lobster Shack is a small, BYOB, lobster shack, on a wharf in Surry, Maine. It has no land food. This is a traditional Lobster Shack, like those you will find throughout most of the small inlets and peninsulas, along the coast of Maine. The atmosphere is great. All seating is outside at picnic styles bench and tables. Seating is on a long wharf jutting out into Blue Hill Bay. Together with the salt air, and views of Cadillac Mountain in the background, the aesthetic is sublime. I am not a fan of seafood, but my wife and family are, so I will rate the food based on their descriptions. Food receives thumbs up. The lobster is steamed just right. Corn is tender. Rolls are typical white, soft rolls found in New England. Steamers are good, and receive praise from my family. For those who only eat land food, bring food to bbq, they have a grill for you to use. There is locally made soda to drink, and if you need an alcoholic beverage, BYOB. Dessert is good. Ice cream from Morton's Moo and pie at times. Service is good. Servers are attentive in this casual atmosphere. We have been frequenting this location for years, and always come back. Although I don't eat seafood, I always eat the corn and rolls, with whatever meat dish I brought. This is a great place, and really, the prices and servings are no different than any other lobster shack and pound within the state. For the lobster lover, looking for a splendid location, this place is for you.

Cold food, long wait. Pre ordered once we found out there was a 45 minute wait ahead of us. 45 minutes turned into more than an hour. We preordered with permission from the hostess with 1 party ahead of us. Get seated. There are 10 or so tables. Of course ours had a busted umbrella that almost clocked my wife in the head. Waitress takes our drink order, we tell her about the pre order, she says no problem. Waited ANOTHER 30 minutes. My lobster order shows up, it's not the soft shell I ordered, but a hard shell. I'm told there are no clams so they gave me muscles. This is fine, I'm ok until I realize my food is ice effing cold! Pissed off I just eat the food and pay. Screw this place with a 1/2 impact gun!!!

Best lobster in the area, with one of the best views you can get! Definitely don't skip the lobster roll and a walk on Carrying Place Beach afterwards.

We were there last week as we stayed a few miles up the road. The lobster was absolutely the best we have every had and we live near Newport Rhode Island ! The Lobster comes right off the boat at the dock and is so fresh. The young man who owns it is Seth Cote and has the best personality every. the help is friendly and very helpful. It made our trip there to Maine very special. We all bought t shirts (7 of us) so we would not forget this great little spot. I would recommend it to everyone I know. It is well worth the trip there.
