"The best cheeseburger in Maine! The lobster roll was great with a side of potato salad… and those fries! We showed up 10 minutes before closing (we didn’t notice) and they were still so nice!"

"I'm intrigued and rather shocked at the 4.6 rating. Usually, I'm very agreeable with my experiences and the ratings by the majority of fellow google raters. We walked up to the building confused on exactly where to go. A lack of employees in either building added to my initial confusion. We stopped specifically for an authentic Maine lobster roll. After seeing lobsters in an aquarium in a run down garage building, I should've maybe tried a different place. The lobster tank inside was not clean and mold was in the top of the tank. Another reason I should've ran. I had no idea the price of the lobster roll and ordered based on what I expected the price to be for an out in the middle of nowhere place. No prices were listed. After I ordered it, I was told $30. I should've ran. Fast. And far. The lobster roll was served on an amazingly buttery flavored but incredibly small undersized hot dog roll. Very mediocre and very lightly seasoned/sauced lobster chunks were stacked on the bun. It was soooooo CHEWY and it took forever to swallow. It was served with chips and the smallest container or coleslaw in the history of any of the New England states. Don't spit on my face and tell me it's just raining outside. This place is STEEPLY overpriced for what you get. Lastly, marijuana smoke smells disgusting and I don't want my clothes saturated with that thick fungus'y smell of rank stank weed. That's all I smelled while waiting a while for the aforementioned $30 lobster mini roll. Ps....I choked some pepto afterwards...... just in case."

"Friendly little lobster shack on the side of the road that offers non-seafood options for those in the group that aren't interested in lobster, scallops, clams, fish and other tasty goodies. We got the fried seafood combo, and it was huge!!! We left way too full, but also very happy. Highly recommended!"
