Sam Smith Visits 3 Maine Restaurants Memorial Day Weekend 2026

Remember last year on Memorial Day weekend, actor Seth Rogen stopped in at Mabel's Lobster Claw in Kennebunkport?

Well, looks like another famous person has decided to enjoy the holiday in the Pine Tree State for 2026.

Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter Sam Smith took to social media to share some of the highlights of their visit, including a few of the local restaurants.

Sam Smith Visits the Lobster Shack in Ogunquit, Maine

Sam shared on Instagram multiple pictures of their visit to Maine.

On May 20, the "Stay With Me" singer showed off a bright red lobster during their meal at The Lobster Shack in Ogunquit.

They certainly looked like they enjoyed the food there, and it seems they even picked up some merch from the local restaurant.

On Yelp, the Lobster Shack has a 4.4 out of 5 rating, with reviews calling out the delicious lobster rolls, clam chowder and fish tacos.

One review said: "Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and felt the wait was well worth it. The staff were super kind from beginning to the end. The location poises you for a great view of the water and the boats. Would come again to enjoy the New England atmosphere."

Sam Smith Visits Barnacle Billy's and Footbridge Lobster in Ogunquit, Maine

On May 21, Sam shared even more photos, except this time they featured food from Barnacle Billy's and Footbridge Lobster in Ogunquit, Maine.

We're talking close-up shots of Ice cream, drinks, lobster rolls, and pie, all with a very happy Sam.

Barnacle Billy's, which has had other famous faces stop in, like Patriots owner Robert Kraft and former President George Bush, has been around for over 60 years.

One Google review said, "The view was amazing and so was the food. I ordered the baked stuffed lobster with baked potato, garden salad, scallops for appetizer, caramel cheesecake for dessert and a smashed blueberry lemonade vodka. Sooo delicious. My faves were the stuffed lobster and the cheesecake was the best I've ever had."

Sam was even kind enough to take a photo with some of the staff from the restaurant.

The other seafood spot Sam mentioned in their post was Footbridge Lobster, which has a 4.6 out of 5 on TripAdvisor.

One person left a review calling out the lobster rolls: "We have been getting lobster rolls from Footbridge for several years now. Let me tell you, this is absolutely the best lobster rolls in Southern Maine!"

With how incredible Maine is, sometimes it feels like a real surprise that more celebs don't pop up in the state. Seems like the perfect spot to get away from all the hustle and bustle of their busy lives.

It certainly looked like Sam was having a great time, especially with all that delicious fresh seafood.

I wonder which places they will go to next time? What Maine seafood spots should they visit?
