St. Croix Snack Shack

A wonderful highlight in a great trip to Maine. The Snack Shack offered my friends and myself an absolutely wonderful experience on two visits during our recent trip to Maine, providing fresh and delicious food served alongside absolutely exceptional service. Everything we ordered well exceeded any expectations we may have had prior, and left us all beyond satisfied. I only wish we could have visited at least one more time!

Highly recommend this gem! Friendly couple owns and operates this spot. My husband had the fish and chips once and the Philly made with brisket the next day. Both excellent, “best I ever had!” I had grilled haddock, amazing! Delicious ice cream, as well. If you are in Calais, do yourself a favor and eat here!

The name "Snack Shack" does not begin to give credit to the culinary creations happening inside this riverside eatery. In addition to the wide variety of homemade, fresh (not frozen) expertly crafted delicacies on the menu such as lightly battered scallops, fish and chips, fresh cut fries and hand crafted burgers to name a few. The Chef also comes up with fresh takes on classics and sometimes wild creations as specials each day so one can always be trying something new if they wish. If there is any room for dessert I suggest a milkshake made how it should be, with generous scoops of hard ice cream and milk. Not soft serve and syrup. The owners run an immaculately clean operation with incredibly high standards and they are missed every Fall/Winter when they go away. I suggest you get it while you can!

Did not know of this place and stumbled across it after running a few errands around Calais. We were planning to only get ice cream but after getting out of the car and looking over their attractive chalk board lunch menu, we decided to go all out. All of this listed sandwiches sounded wonderful - such a welcome change of pace from same old offered by most eateries in the area! I had the brisket melt, onion rings and cole slaw - it was excellent! Highly recommended. My wife had the Cuban and my teen daughter had a grilled chicken BLT, which they both enjoyed very much. Followed up with Gifford's hard serve ice cream - great choice of flavors and a higher quality ice cream than others. The friendly service at the window was also much appreciated! I spoke to a regular patron in the parking lot and she said it was the best food in Washington County - I have to agree! We live about an hour's drive from Calais and we plan to go back soon! Top notch!
