The former President, 73, and the first lady, 72, enjoyed a personal delivery from "The Clam Shack" in Kennebunkport, Maine on Labor Day.

The establishment shared a picture of one of their employees besides the Bushes on their Facebook page on Monday.

"Special delivery to Walkers Point tonight!" they captioned the picture. The image featured the bushes, one of their employees holding out a plate of their fried seafood delicacies. "It was a great way to end the summer season."

DELIVERY EXCLUSIVE FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY

Although The Clam Shack made a special delivery for the Bushes, the establishment only offers takeout and a peaceful outdoor seating that overlooks a river and boardwalk.

The Bushes weren't the only famous personalities to enjoy The Clam Shack's cuisine this summer, Luis Tiant, the famous Boston Red Sox pitcher, also visited the establishment.

He appeared to be enjoying the same sea food platter as the Bushes. Tiant even left the owner of The Clam Shack a copy of the hurler's new book.

The small eatery is known for its "award-winning fried food, traditional boiled lobster dinners and lobster rolls served on freshly baked buns from a local bakery." The eatery planted its roots back in 1968 and is a staple for the locals as well as tourists.

The Bush property in the locality was purchased by George H. W. Bush‘s maternal great-grandfather David Davis Walker and grandfather George Herbert "Bert" Walker.

The property has been used as a summer getaway by the family for over a century. While the family spent the summer there, the seafood treat on Monday concluded what can only be called a busy month for the Bush family.

In August, George and Laura’s daughter, Jenna Hager Bush, and her husband, Henry Hager, welcomed their first son and third child into the world.
