I tried 5 different lobster rolls on my Maine visit and this was by far the best lobster roll ! They give you so much meat, it's super fresh, and the right balance of mayo/butter to lobster . Yum!!!

Mike Singleton

The most authentic place we went to during our stay. Make sure you save room for the whole lobster . Looks like it would be a blast to sit outside during the summer as well . Great view .

PureWow

Come for the lobster and stay for the views . Each buttered roll is filled with large chunks of soft-shell lobster meat and a dollop of mayo . Read more

Get the lobster roll and take it to one of the picnic tables outside on a nice day. Great food, even better view if it's clear out!

Cooper Smith

Excellent lobster rolls , but your meal won't be complete without a huge slice of rhubarb pie

Dana D

A Maine Must for lobster . Grab a picnic table with the ocean view and enjoy the simple pleasures of Portland at it's best.

Chelsea Balkan

#FabuLIST #DubiDO come to the lobster shack for some delicious fresh lobster rolls , fries , and coleslaw . Sit at one of the picnic tables and enjoy the views .

Strawberry rhubarb pie will change your life. Consider getting multiple items and sharing with a few friends!

Kellie Loeb

Lobster rolls and clam strips are amazing. Eat outside on the ocean but head up on Seagulls! Iconic Maine must do!

Aaron Majcher

Lobster and Rhubarb Pie makes a wonderful lunch . Just get there early, because by 12:30 the line gets quite long.

Jake Smith

Come for the lobster , onion rings , and scallops . Stay for the view . Linger for the view . Take it all in: this is Maine.

Ollie Cartwright

Gets busy so would try not to go a peak times. Order from the line and then wait for you to be given a table

Travel Channel

Order the Lobster Dinner , complete with a whole steamed lobster , onion rings , coleslaw , biscuit , butter for dipping and a whoopie pie . As seen on Travel Channel’s Man v. Food Nation.

Steph Schneider

$20 lobster !!!! My favorite food experience in Portland. Super chill picnic style in a beautiful setting. Go in the summer.

From Away

Can be a little on the pricey side, but you'll be surprised how much better a lobster roll tastes when you're looking at a lighthouse . The best "dining room" on the East Coast.

Kate

Absolutely amazing view , but the food was ok. You can find a better lobster roll elsewhere. Also, be aware they have limited parking since the place is so popular

MM

Husband and I shared a lobster meal (a pound lobster with cole slaw , fries and biscuit ) and a large fried clam side and drinks (refill free at dispenser). It was awesome eating under the umbrella shad

Vivian Chen

lobster roll boat - comes with fries and coleslaw . parking can be tough but the views are beautiful! Maine blueberry pie also really good

mrham

Lobster rolls are awesome. Fried clams are great. Clam chowder is legit. Must stop when in ME.

Dana Villmore

Best view and classic lobster rolls . Strawberry rhubarb pie was awesome!

Dan Fishbein

WE'VE BEEN COMING HERE FOR 18 YEARS- LIVE NEARBY. ALWAYS BEEN EXPENSIVE DUE TO THE SPOT, BUT THEY'VE GONE TOO FAR: $18 FOR ONE SMALL PIECE OF HADDOCK , A FEW FRIES, THIMBLE OF SLAW & CUP OF SODA .

John Sullivan

Friend seafood is amazing and the view can't be beat!

Christi Eubanks

Best classic lobster roll in Maine. Fried clams are also recommended. BYOB

This little seafood joint set on Maine's rocky shore has Bon Appetit, Gourmet Magazine, and The Boston Globe singing its praises.

If you're going for lunch , get there well before noon and grab a shaded table as soon as possible!

Emily Dornblaser

Will take cash or credit, but the machine was down so keep some cash money on hand..at least $20. It's an expensive lobster shack!

Steve Strom

Not the best food, but they do okay with the lobster roll . What you're paying for is the view .

Great little lobster roll

Go here for the view . Lobster roll I felt was mediocre.
