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!!!

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!

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.

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

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.

I don’t think you can go wrong with lobsters in Maine. Yummy food and great view of the ocean
Ashlee WebsterJuly 19, 2015
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 GrimmSeptember 30, 2017
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.
Jen ShinJune 30, 2015
just your standard lobster roll here with melted butter on the side. still delicious & the fried scallops are a must!

What a great place for a Lobster Roll - Cold beer - live music and good view. I wish they were open year round!
Mike SeilbackJune 17, 2014
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!
Lauren IanuziAugust 19, 2013
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!!
KT Nelson-HartJune 28, 2015
Ridiculously good lobster roll! Get there early because there was a wait, but worth it (plus drinks on the pier while waiting? Yes, please!)
JosephineOctober 28, 2013
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!
Urban OysterJuly 18, 2011
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!
GayngoodJuly 2, 2018
Exactly what you want when in Maine: firehouse red lobsters with cafeteria trays to match. Get the clam chowder, skip the lobster stew

Nice location to stop by and have a quick and delish lobster roll lunch for tourists.
jen fortiniMay 6, 2013
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 MillerSeptember 13, 2011
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.
Melissa EncarnacionJune 30, 2014
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!
Phil TorontoApril 29, 2017
Lobsters, steamers and pretty much anything & everything to go with them!

Great atmosphere! The lobster rolls and lobster dinners are delicious and fun to eat while listening to the live music
Mikey NeffJuly 1, 2019
Wait time was much quicker than expected, there was also a live band! The lobster roll was tasty.
Kate RumeryOctober 3, 2012
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 BoehmSeptember 4, 2018
Good place for Seafood... interesting way to order and get a seat... Food was great. Had Lobster and Fish filet...
Thana DickensOctober 2, 2019
Lobster rolls are a must. The beer selection is good and the fries are perfectly crispy.
Anthony NicholsAugust 11, 2017
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
jessica jaworskiSeptember 5, 2014
The Maine shrimp wrap was yummy and I loved the corn on the cob! Plus they have the best buzzers. :)
The Betty SchultzAugust 16, 2016
Great, easy food in a fun, waterfront shack. Nicely priced for what you get. Lobster rolls were great.
*iVy DelizJune 28, 2015
Waterfront lobster roll with a beer, listening to live music during sunset. Was a fantastic time! Best one I've had!
Darius KalinauskasMay 27, 2018
Really great food and local atmosphere. Order inside and then just wait to be seated, you can grab your drinks while you do that :)
Meg SheaSeptember 1, 2014
One of my favorite outdoor seating areas in Portland. Love the food, the music, and the overall atmosphere.
Caroline ChungAugust 1, 2014
Great place to listen to a local band play and enjoy Maine's famous lobsters!
EpicuriousNovember 17, 2010
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.
Cam BMarch 19, 2017
Quite busy in the summer and hard to find a comfortable place to sit. I got a lobster roll that was so tiny!
David CarrAugust 12, 2018
Live music on the deck throughout the summer. Grab a cold drink and enjoy!
Liz MackJuly 27, 2017
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 😢

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."
Jose Luis MezaSeptember 9, 2022
Amazing place for dinner!!! Lobsta, corn and baked potato. Viva Torreón!
Rebecca MoiJuly 5, 2012
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!!! :)
CAugust 28, 2021
Great service, reasonable prices, fun place
Joseph LeSeptember 14, 2016
Lobster roll wasn't too bad. The roll itself could've used some more butter though
Jeremy KrantzMay 8, 2014
Great spot to drink a cold beer while staring at the ocean. They also have live music

Haddock sandwich, French fries, and a lemonade are perfect on a summer night in Portland.
Steph SchneiderAugust 29, 2017
Good food and okay prices given its touristy. Sometimes live music and on the water is nice.
Jeff ENovember 3, 2014
Great food, we lucked out but it can get crowded, quickly. But definitely worth it.
KateJune 1, 2021
I was disappointed that the butter congealed on my lobster roll. The lobster didn't taste as fresh as I know it could have.
Harlan CutshallJuly 2, 2013
On top of great seafood—and really friendly staff—the chicken tenders are awesome
Kuo-yu LiangSeptember 30, 2017
Normally I'm not a lobster roll fan - too much mayo, not enough lobster, soggy roll. However the lobster roll here was just perfect.
