When it comes to foods that qualify as “traditional American cuisine,” the term can be broad in scope: For many people, a traditional meal is something like a burger and fries, bacon and eggs, or fish and chips.
The majority of restaurants across the United States have some form of traditional American cuisine on their menus, which means if you’re tasked with finding the best restaurants that serve American food, you’d better choose wisely.
Burgers, fries, bacon, and eggs all qualify as traditional American fare, but when it comes to choosing a restaurant that serves the best food in Maine, we’re a bit off the mark. LoveFood consistently names Bob’s Clam Hut as serving the best American food in Vacationland.
Bob’s Clam Hut has been a staple of Kittery’s food scene for decades, and Bob’s is known for delivering fresh seafood daily.
If a restaurant has “Clam Hut” in its name, it probably specializes in clams, and Bob’s offers a variety of ways to enjoy clams, from baskets of whole clams to breaded clam strips to Bob & Betty’s Special, which mixes clams with other fresh seafood.
There are plenty of other classics on the menu at Bob’s Clam Hut, from a variety of burgers to fried chicken and fish sandwiches, as well as classic American soups – sometimes clam chowder or lobster stew is perfect for a chilly summer night.
