Mikes Clam Shack by Deborah

 
              Many people visit Wells, Maine for its scenery and seafood.  Mike’s Clam Shack is a place that people can’t wait to go to when visiting the area.  Mike’s is off of Post Road (Route 1).  This family style restaurant offers dining room and bar seating as well as take out.  They serve a variety of baked, broiled and fried seafood.  They also have steak, chicken, prime rib, and pasta choices for those of you who don’t prefer seafood.   Prices on their regular and large size fried seafood dinners range from $15.95 to $23.95 as of January 2014.  This does not include the clams and scallops that were at market prices. The seafood is always fresh and delicious. Beer and wine are also available.         

           Mike’s is so popular, I expect a long wait time to be seated every time I go.     The last time I was there it was a Saturday night in October and we waited approximately 45 minutes for a table.     Their wait staff is courteous and efficient and I leave there satisfied whenever I eat there.

            One of Mike’s specialties is their “Shack Potato”.  This is diced potatoes, peppers, onions, parmesan cheese mixed with sour cream and butter and then baked. You should try one the next time you visit Mikes Clam shack.
