The fresh lobster meat has a slight buttery glaze and is nestled into a toasted and buttered bun . The accompanying fries are crispy and just too delicious to pass up. Read more

Walk up, order lobster and eat!!! During nice weather times, the dock is perfect, quite spacious with plenty of seating!! Lobster mac n cheese was super crispy and delicious - big pieces of lobster !!!

K Muka

Make sure you order first then ask for a table outside ! While you wait check for a high top by the music ! It's a little loud out there. Great Maine lobster !

jennifer jeffries cook

not a bad thing on the menu. love love love the lobster roll of course. even in the middle of the week, you get live music to dine by.

Dan E

Wildly delicious lobster rolls . Order at the counter, grab a pitcher of beer from the bar , and find some space on the deck. Or check in with the hostess to get a seat at the picnic tables

Anand Dhanasekharan

I don’t think you can go wrong with lobsters in Maine. Yummy food and great view of the ocean

Greg G

Good lobster roll (comes with fries too, which seems to be rare around here) Corn on the cob very good. Great view . Local beers . And reasonably priced.

Ashlee Webster

Giant portions of awesome food! Not a long wait , and plenty of tables outside to enjoy the view from! The staff are all very friendly too!

Cass Grimm

I ordered the small chowder poutine which I was told was just an appetizer size but it was huge!!! It was delicious though. And good local beer selection too, plus live music .

Ross Maniaci

What a great place for a Lobster Roll - Cold beer - live music and good view . I wish they were open year round!

Darius Kalinauskas

Really great food and local atmosphere. Order inside and then just wait to be seated, you can grab your drinks while you do that :)

Jen Shin

just your standard lobster roll here with melted butter on the side. still delicious & the fried scallops are a must!

Urban Oyster

Great lobster rolls (not too much added, so you get the full lobster flavor), good beer , and a great place to hang out outside on a sunny afternoon. A highlight of our trip to Portland!

KT Nelson-Hart

Ridiculously good lobster roll ! Get there early because there was a wait, but worth it (plus drinks on the pier while waiting? Yes, please!)

Lauren Ianuzi

live music , drinks, and fresh seafood on the water - you can't ask for much more. everyone said to try the lobster roll - so glad I did! it was outrageously good!!

Mike Seilback

Drove over an hour to try the lobster roll . Would drive 2+ hours if in the area in the future. Amazing food, all chunky lobster meat in the lobster roll !

Josephine

Try to sit in outdoors tent in the middle between the heat lanterns, so you can enjoy your meal in cozy warmth next to the live band playing!

Maeve Daly

Great atmosphere! The lobster rolls and lobster dinners are delicious and fun to eat while listening to the live music

dawn.in.newyork

Nice location to stop by and have a quick and delish lobster roll lunch for tourists .

*iVy Deliz

Waterfront lobster roll with a beer , listening to live music during sunset . Was a fantastic time! Best one I've had!

Gayngood

Exactly what you want when in Maine: firehouse red lobsters with cafeteria trays to match. Get the clam chowder , skip the lobster stew

Phil Toronto

Lobsters , steamers and pretty much anything & everything to go with them!

Liz Mack

So my 1 1/4 lb lobster was definitely under 1 lb.... not thrilled by that. Fun live music . How they have 2 bathrooms (1 for each gender) is beyond me- HUGE lines ????

jen fortini

Get the lobster meal for the total Maine experience. fresh lobster , cole slaw , corn on the cob and fries . $17.99 and more filling than the lobster roll !

Katie Miller

Amazing fresh lobster that you can eat right on a pier and listen to live music . You order your food from the bar and then pick it up after your plastic lobster lights up.

The Betty Schultz

Great, easy food in a fun, waterfront shack. Nicely priced for what you get. Lobster rolls were great.

Anthony Nichols

Great vibe, friendly atmosphere on water with good staff . Nice place to have a beer and listen to live music . Food was very basic. Portion sizes were okay prices okay. But not a ton of flavor

Meg Shea

One of my favorite outdoor seating areas in Portland. Love the food, the music , and the overall atmosphere.

Thana Dickens

Lobster rolls are a must. The beer selection is good and the fries are perfectly crispy .

Kate Rumery

Wow, the seafood , the view , the staff ... Too bad they are not open year round. Some the best in Portland for food, entertainment and great down time

Tino Boehm

Good place for Seafood ... interesting way to order and get a seat... Food was great. Had Lobster and Fish filet ...

Melissa Encarnacion

Sign in first. Order food 5 minutes after that way you are guaranteed a seat once u get ur food. Awesome view and lobster feast!

Mikey Neff

Wait time was much quicker than expected, there was also a live band ! The lobster roll was tasty.

Cam B

Quite busy in the summer and hard to find a comfortable place to sit. I got a lobster roll that was so tiny!

Caroline Chung

Great place to listen to a local band play and enjoy Maine's famous lobsters !

Cristina Fernandez

Amazing fresh lobster & losbter rolls! I recommend 100%

C

Great service, reasonable prices, fun place

jessica jaworski

The Maine shrimp wrap was yummy and I loved the corn on the cob! Plus they have the best buzzers. :)

Epicurious

Not all lobster rolls are created equal, but this one has fresh lobster meat with a slight buttery glaze and is nestled into a toasted and buttered bun with just the right amount of mayo .

Find. Eat. Drink.

Recommended by local chef Erik Desjarlais: "They have an outdoor deck right on the water, freezing cold beers , and a lobster roll worthy of a James Beard award."

David Carr

Live music on the deck throughout the summer. Grab a cold drink and enjoy!

Jeff E

Great food, we lucked out but it can get crowded , quickly. But definitely worth it.

Jose Luis Meza

Amazing place for dinner !!! Lobsta , corn and baked potato . Viva Torreón!

Jeremy Krantz

Great spot to drink a cold beer while staring at the ocean. They also have live music

William Nelligan

Haddock sandwich , French fries , and a lemonade are perfect on a summer night in Portland.

Rebecca Moi

The tip from Epicurious is erroneous; the lobster roll here is dressed only with a drizzle of butter, no mayo at all. In any case: DELICIOUS!!! :)

Mi Lo

Best seafood on our New England trip! Plus great seating outside by the sea.

Michelle

Nice location and environment, gets very busy!!

Steph Schneider

Good food and okay prices given its touristy . Sometimes live music and on the water is nice.

Michael Moses

Live music , perfectly cooked seafood , and delicious Maine beers on the deck... What is not to love about this place. Read more
