Lord's Clam Box

Summary- DO NOT EAT HERE ON A HOLIDAY or a BUSY WEEKEND. STAY AWAY FROM THE LOBSTER ROLL. ALWAYS GET A CURRENT PRICE FOR "LG", "DOUBLE" or "MARKET PRICED" ITEMS BEFORE YOU ORDER! MAY 2002-OVERPRICED and POOR FOOD QUALITY. I am regular customer of Lord's Clam Box for several years. I never had any major complaints. The food has always been hot and fresh; although their portion sizes have decreased dramatically and their prices have crept up significantly as the Pandemic wore on...their food quality was consistently positive. the service is friendly and prompt. A good, dependable and pleasant place to order from for Mother's Day 2022. No. I was so wrong. Perhaps it was due to the Holiday or a Staff shortage. No real actual excuse I can give for them. I ordered a lobster roll with drawn butter on the side. The roll was a soggy and cold; a once toasted hot dog bun. They gave me the end, the heel of a hot dog bun package...it was all hard "crust" on one side. The bun was cold, soggy and stale all at the same time. The 1/4 cup, 4 TABLE SPOONS of lobster was chopped up fine into 1/2 inch cubed pieces; it also was cold. I mean previously frozen cold, bland lobster with the consistency of rubber. Even the drawn butter was gross. They had not stirred or kept it warm so it was separated. I got a small plastic tbl spoon of "oil"...it was tasteless and just simply inedible liquid "grease" not melted butter. Even the paltry serving of a 1 tbl spoon of shredded, wilted lettuce was shamefully tasteless and soggy; it was so finely shredded to the texture of lawn grass that it offered no compliment to the sandwich. It's "Market Price" was $13.99 for the day...an absolutely ridiculous price for what I received. I refuse to consider it an actual Maine Lobster Roll; it was simple so bad. In summary the Maine Lobster Roll is a Sandwich...it does not take a great chef to make a good sandwich. Together it is simple...lobster, lettuce and a roll; they ruined it all...and I ate it. It was inedible, but I was hungry. It was tasteless; each part worse as I tried to choke it down as my Mother's Day Special Meal paid for me by my son; a fact which made me feel guilty about making any compliant. I smiled and swallowed as I gagged on the greasy "butter"; chewed maniacally on the bland, rubbery lobster so tough, I didn't know whether I could keep from throwing up. The total bill was $47.56. A Lg Onion Ring was $11.49; MORE expensive than a lg Seafood Chowder which was hot & delicious as always & about $2.00 less than a Lobster Roll. Why? The Onion Rings were good...a "large" serving? No. There were14 onion rings in my serving. $11.49? Ridiculous! Considering that was the only other item I had to eat...I counted every bite. The Fried Mushrooms and Rolls were eaten by son but seemed to be the same good quality as the Chowder and Rings. I remained disappointed, distraught & hungry for the rest of my "special day" wondering how a simple sandwich and a bunch of careless, teenaged, improperly trained, and awful "cooks" could have ruined it for me but they did. Happy Mother's Day 2022!

A real find. Very good fish fry and very reasonable prices. No frills. One of those places where I'm tempted to bring my own condiments. Perfect for take out. My only complaint is that they prepare dine-in orders to-go and the packaging feels wasteful. I wish they served things in baskets or on trays.

When Lords Restaurant in Wells closed we were all devastated. But then Pam went ahead and gifted us with this fantastic new venue called Lords Clam Box. She runs this place like a well oiled machine- management plus. Sparkling clean, red white and black, the Box doesn’t disappoint. My Fried Clam Dinner was superb. The batter light and golden, my “ clam candy” was a delight to eat. Crispy shoestrings on the side with the famous Pineapple Cole Slaw. My friend had the broiled combo Haddock n Scallops. So ridiculously tender and succulent. She opted for a side of steamed broccoli. Please go here and eat. You will thank me.
