Bob's Clam Hut, Kittery, ME

This place has been a long-time favorite of ours. Visiting Bob's (We've called it Bob's Walk-Up for years!) is a long standing tradition when we come to Maine. Located on the north side of Kittery on US Rt 1, if you're headed north on I-95, exit at Exit 3 and transition through, I believe, one stop light and Bob's is almost immediately on the left. There is a parking lot at each end of the building, and from the south, the far lot is much easier to get into.

Bob's speciality is SEAFOOD! Traditionally, Sharon will have the Jumbo Lobster Roll and I go for a small or medium order of Scollops AND whole clams. They're as good as you will find anywhere in Maine and far better than what you find at most places. He offers full meals as well, but I don't want to waste eating space on the fluff of cole slaw and french fries when I haven't had good seafood for a long time.

Bob's has been open in the same place for, I believe, over 60 years. Sharon says she remembers stopping when she was a kid and the folks were traveling between Newport News, VA and back home to Maine.

Bob's is just plain GREAT seafood! What else needs to be said!
