ABOUT KEN'S PLACE
A Maine Tradition Since 1927
For nearly a century, Ken's Place has been a staple of summer in Southern Maine. Located in the heart of Scarborough, Ken’s Place has welcomed generations of locals and visitors alike with fresh seafood, simple recipes, and that unmistakable roadside charm.
What began as a small seasonal stand has grown into one of Maine’s most beloved seafood destinations—without ever losing the character that made it special in the first place.
Rooted in Simplicity & Quality
At Ken’s Place, the philosophy has always been the same: fresh ingredients, generous portions, and food that speaks for itself.
From classic Maine lobster rolls and fried clams to burgers, onion rings, and ice cream, the menu reflects a tradition of no-frills, high-quality comfort food. It’s the kind of place where your order is called out the window, your tray is piled high, and every bite tastes like summer.
A Gathering Place for Generations
Ken’s isn’t just a restaurant—it’s part of the fabric of the community. Families return year after year, introducing new generations to the same flavors and memories they grew up with.
Whether you're stopping by after a day at the beach, grabbing dinner on the way home, or making Ken’s your destination, you’re part of a tradition that spans decades.
Still Serving, Still Local
Through changing times, Ken’s Place has remained proudly local and seasonal—opening each year as a sign that summer has officially arrived in Maine.
We’re honored to continue serving Scarborough and the surrounding communities with the same commitment to quality, consistency, and classic Maine hospitality.
