It Doesn't Get More Maine Than This Classic Coastal Lobster Hut

Summer in Maine means all the best things this state has to offer. From trails to summer swims to all the things we seen in photos during the winter and wish it were warm enough to do! There’s just nothing quite like warm days in Maine. Especially considering the food options. Seafood is a part of life year round, but we can’t get enough when the weather warms up. Especially when it’s served at a quintessential lobster shack in Maine. This place is unmissable!

If Kennebunkport is one of the most well-recognized places in Maine, Cape Porpoise might actually the most quintessentially "Maine." It's where you'll find Nunan's Lobster Hut for perfect Maine seafood.

You'll find this little spot hidden in plain site just off the side of the road. In the summer you'll know it by the long line of people streaming outside.

With a motto like "We catch 'em, we cook 'em, we crack 'em, you eat 'em!" you know it's going to be good!

The vibe here is super casual with exposed beams and lots of nautical decor. There's no pretense when eating here, just good fresh-caught seafood.

And it's no coincidence that it's good. They've been around for over 53 years which means more than half a century of summer seasons to get things perfect.

The lobster here is caught locally, making it deliciously fresh. But you won't find any white tablecloths here. Just no-frills seafood with a bag of chips.

In addition to lobster, they also have clams and other local catches.

They even have a giant lobster salad for those looking for a side of greens.

The lobster roll is a great way to try lobster for the first time...or the 51st time! It's a must-have when in Maine.

And for those who aren't sure the Maine seafood life is for them, you can order something a little...meatier.

But no matter what you have as a meal, be sure to order the homemade pie at the end. Choose from a variety of flavors, but we're partial to the blueberry.

We recommend dining in here, but you can also order to take away.

Nunan’s Lobster Hut is open every day from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. You can learn more about their history and what they offer through their website. You can reach them on 207-967-4362. Address: 9 Mills Road, Kennebunkport, ME 04046.

And now that you’ve got Maine lobster on the brain, consider taking this lobster roll road trip through Maine! It comes with 10 different stops and exact directions to get you where you need to go.
