If you know, you really know. And if you don't welcome to one of Maine's most elite seasonal spots, Ken's Place in Scarborough, Maine.

The post has hit the world wide web, and after a long, salty, snow-covered winter, it's happened, they've announced their seasons much anticipated open date.

Ken's has been shelling out the best shell fish since 1927 and will be opening their door again this Friday March 20th! 

Ken's Place Scarborough, Maine Opening For The Season

We all waited, hoped, and casually stalked their Facebook page, but it's happened and we can do our happy lobster roll dances. So get over to Pine Point Road in Scarborough this Friday to show off that dance.

The cravings are back for Ken's Place and yes, we are already mentally in line, deciding what to dive into on their menu!

There is just something about that first trip of the season when the air still has a bite, and you're probably underdressed, but somehow a fried seafood basket tastes even better because you had to wait months.

Absence does make the heart grow fonder, especially for Kens.

The first bite is spiritual. And now, it's go time babes.

Open 7 days a week, just like it should be. Summer in Maine doesn't officially start when the calendar says so, it starts when Ken's opens their glorious doors.

So yeah, cancel your plans, text the group chat, and pretend you just "happened to be in the area."

We all know the truth: we've been waiting all season for this post and it did NOT disappoint!
