Classic clam shack. Consistent. Good service. Good food, but almost entirely fried. Great cole slaw. Good onion rings. Good BLT. Fantastic view. Bring your drinks. Dine at their outdoor picnic tables.

We arrived on a rainy Monday in September 2023! We stopped for takeout to bring back to the place we were staying at on Orrs Island. When we got there we weren’t sure where to go because the area was roped off A gril stuck her head out of the door and said what do you need and I said we are here for takeout. She told me to read the sign and stand there and she will get to me when she was done doing what she was doing. Mind you no one was there it was pouring rain and her rudeness made us turn around and leave! I don’t care what you are in the middle of doing- you do not treat people that way and I would never go back because of the rude treatment! Very disappointing!

Great food and great location and views! Located on a grass knoll overlooking the ocean and marina. Seafood, chowder, and the best Lobster Rolls are served. The menu also includes many non seafood òptions, no one will go away hungry! You are welcome to bring your own wine or beer , soda and water is available on site. You eat outside on picnic tables with umbrellas, enjoy the views and sea breeze. My favorites are the fried oysters and scallops with onion rings! It's definitely worth the ride to Harpswell from route 1 in Brunswick and Freeport area.

It's a much better lobster roll than the other place we visited earlier in the week. It was about the same price, but the lobster was fresher and better tasting, served the way lobster rolls should be prepared.

We actually went for another restaurant in area but they were closed. This was right near it and what a find. Looked up reviews and they were outstanding so we took a chance. Outside tables. Cash only. Drinks from soda machine. Met couple who told us about the crabster on a roll. Crab and lobster. It was delish. When we left all the tables were taken. Great place. You won’t be disappointed

Staff looked stressed and not very friendly. You have to eat out of the containers. They don't hand out paper plates. No extra napkins only the one that comes in a wrapper with the knife, fork, 2 ketchup, one salt & pepper packet. Service consisted of dropping the containers on the table you were sitting at. Food was tasty, although not plentiful. I had a clam boat which was one small hot dog roll, not toasted, with 6-8 clams on it. Nothing special. The onion rings were tiny and crunchy. Probably re-cooked. The Cole slaw was good but again, about 3 tablespoons of it. The only drinks available are out of the vending machine.Kid-friendliness: The tables are right by the water. Good views. The kids could walk around.Parking: Lots of spots to park. Not very crowded. Not too much shade, several tables had umbrellas, but not all.

If you want lobster any fresher, I reckon you'll have to buy a boat and pull it from the sea yourself. Given the difficulties associated with that plan, may I present Erica's seafood, right on the water with a beautiful view, a friendly staff, and great food! Definitely worth the drive, cash only, but there's an ATM on site!

Great seafood at a reasonable price. The shack is located on an active waterfront, and the seating is outdoors at clean red and white checkered table cloth covered picnic tables. I had the fried sea scallops and french fries, my wife had a fried haddock sandwich with french fries and coleslaw, and my aunt had the lobster roll with onion rings. Everything was served hot and was very good. The coleslaw was a crowd favorite.

Beautiful views of casco bay friendly service and the food was delicious and very reasonable priced. Portions are very generous as well. Definitely a great choose when looking for fresh seafood.
Great lobster and crab rolls. Haddock was great too. Outdoor on the water. Ate at picnic tables. Servers were very cordial. Great New England atmosphere.

The perfect lunch enjoyed with a water view at a picnic table. Fast, friendly service with delicious seafood ~~~ and we were able to step in and purchase lobster right off the boat to make for dinner at home! Pure Maine magic!

Erica's Seafood in Harpswell offers a classic, laid-back Maine seafood experience. The lobster rolls are generous and filled with fresh, succulent lobster, while the fried clams are a crispy delight. Overlooking the picturesque harbor, the setting is serene and charming. This hidden gem truly epitomizes the charm of coastal Maine seafood shacks. Service can occasionally be a bit slow, but the quality of the food makes it worth the wait.

Plenty of room for parking especially if you have a motorcycle LOL. My Shrimp Basket was plentiful and very good. Underneath the shrimp they have the shoestring fries which I prefer. I wish they had stack them side-by-side not on top next time I'll ask outside seating picnic table. In a perfect view of the ocean.Kid-friendliness: I saw children they're eating with their parents having a good time.Parking: On-site parking some paved some on the grass.

I had a shrimp basket with fries coleslaw was very good it always good and they give you a good size helping. And the price is reasonable. I like to picnic table set up but eating outside. Plenty of parking especially if you have a motorcycle like I do.
