Nance's Seafood Shanty — Restaurant in Harpswell

My grad school friends and I are in town for a reunion and they were all raving about the $20 lobster rolls having gone to multiple other places for lobster around Harpswell. Unanimously they seemed to agree on the lobster rolls and clam cakes.

Hands down the best ive ever eaten along with everything else. The owner/chef was extremely kind and appreciative of our business. I will absolutely be back...
