"Very nice, large, covered area with picnic tables where you can eat. People were very friendly. The food was good, but the prices seemed high. I ordered a large lobster roll and it did have a lot of lobster, but seemed small for $27. They have Gifford's ice cream which of course is great."

"Amazing! Learned a little about difference between Soft Tail Lobster and Hard Tail (not one of those things we need to know about growing up in Montana and Wyoming ). Tasted wonderful and decently priced (I paid more because I ordered Lobster). I'd for sure go back again. Order at window style with plenty of seating outdoor, covered outdoor, and an indoor area."

"Went here in July on a road trip. Such a great place on the side of the road! The lobster roll was so good but also so affordable even for Maine ($28 if I remember correctly). The lobster bisque on the side complemented it perfectly. 10/10 would recommend!"
