Delicious all around. I got the Connecticut style lobster roll with drizzled butter. Lobster meat was a hearty portion. Comes with some chips. Staff were very friendly. A little pricey but mighty delicious. Sitting down and having a lobster roll while taking in the lighthouse and atmosphere...priceless. read more

I paid 32$ in total for a 4.5oz "Connecticut" roll. The roll came with a hand full of chips and a pour of butter over the roll. My biggest issues is the Connecticut roll came COLD. Cooked lobster is arguably the biggest difference between the Main and Connecticut roll. Not to mention I got shell in multiple bites out of the roll. Ive had better rolls from chain restaurants in Washington state, easy skip. read more

The quest is ON! My first time in Maine and what does every tourist want to do? Find the One Ring, the Holy Grail, the 8th Wonder of the World, The Infinity Stones, and finding the best lobster roll. This was the first on my list and it knocked it out of the park. Absolutely delicious. It is a little stand/trailer in a park overlooking the lighthouse with gorgeous views. Now on to the lobster roll. The bun was perfect size, perfectly toasted, and just scrumptious. The lobster? I think they just cracked the shell after I ordered it - was soooo fresh. And for the mayo? Perfectly balanced. I like some sweet but not a lot and this was the key. The toppings accentuated the flavor. Will most certainly be back. read more

Best lobster rolls we've had in Maine! Immediately before the rolls at Bite Into Maine, we had a lobster roll at Lobster Shack. The Maine and Connecticut rolls blew away Lobster Shack's roll by far. What's also nice about Bite Into Maine is it's location. Embedded in this lovely park, you can take a stroll for about a mile along the Maine coast line. read more

You CANNOT leave Portland without trying Bite Into Maine. The hype is very real and for someone who just doesn't like lobster, this place has me hooked. We went to the main location near the Portland Lighthouse. The line wasn't too long for us thankfully but I can imagine it being crazy in the summer time. Still, the staff works quickly and effectively to get you one of these delicious lobster rolls. We ordered the Wasabi and Chipotle Mayo lobster rolls with clam chowder. Everything was DELICIOUS. The lobster is so fresh that there isn't a need to lather it in butter and salt like other places do. Bite Into Maine stays true to the lobster and its flavors. The bread they use for the rolls is DELICIOUS. Soft and appetizing. And the clam chowder is creamy, warm and incredibly satisfying. Overall, 10/10. Definitely the highlight of our food expedition in Maine. read more

Comparing this to all of the other lobster rolls that I've tried (which is probably around 6-7 different ones), this was my favorite. The lobster meat was very fresh, but in addition to that, the ratio of roll to meat was perfect. Not too much bread for the amount of meat that they give. I ordered the Picnic roll (which had butter and coleslaw) and my SO ordered the traditional Maine roll. The guys at the window are super friendly when taking your order and the quality of the roll was pretty darn good too. Maybe next time I'll try one of the more outgoing flavors of wasabi or curry. My friends also ordered the potato salad. It was a little sweet for my liking and also came in a pretty large portion. Be prepared to wait 10-15 minutes for your roll though! This truck is pretty popular. This lobster roll is definitely worth the $19! Highly recommend especially if you're visiting. One of the best lobster rolls that I've had in Maine. read more

Wow! I had a feeling this place was going to be good based on the great reviews! Yes it was! I'm so glad we stopped. I had the Maine Style roll and shared some Clam chowder with my husband. We enjoyed the views of the coast and lighthouse while we ate. It was a lovely place and I'm already craving another lobster roll! The roll was $17.95 which seems to be about standard for Maine. It was my 4th roll I've eaten in Maine and it was my favorite for sure! I could have eaten 3! read more

Lobster rolls were my goal while in Maine. So. My first stop off the plane was this cute shack on Cape Elizabeth. What a View! This was such a joy and a great welcome to the Portland area. The lobster was fresh and delicious and the potato salad was surprisingly great. Just because, outside of the South, I'm usually disappointed with potato salad. They were busy but the line moved fast and they were patient and were happy to answer all questions. Can't wait to go back. What a beautiful park. read more

Damn right, I had to write this view for a trip I made here back in September because I have some very strong feelings about this business and the lobster rolls they have. At first, I was skeptical that lobster rolls from a food truck could be amazing, given that the taste of lobster correlates with its freshness. But it's prime location by the Portland Head Lighthouse convinced me to give it a try. There were only a few people on line when we went to peep at the menu, which includes 6 different lobster rolls, sandwiches, and sides. I decided to be adventurous and went with the Chipotle while my boyfriend chose the Picnic. After ordering, we milled nearby to eavesdrop and found that lost people ordered the Maine or the Connecticut. I spotted the two girls managing the truck pouring fresh heated butter over a Connecticut and my mouth watered in anticipation. $18.50 for a lobster roll is a good deal compared to other eateries. The roll may look remarkably tiny but the piece of split sliced bread is packed to the overflowing brim with 4.5 oz of freshly harvested lobster meat. In my opinion, its the perfect side. That day I did regret my daring. The chipotle Mayo on my lobster roll was overpowering, obscuring the briney flavor of the lobster. All I could taste was the chipotle, although it was still a good roll. After trying this, I came to the conclusion that lobster is best enjoyed with butter, light Mayo, or plain, bc anything else dulls its flavor. My boyfriend's Picnic with coleslaw, celery salt, and fresh butter showcased the lobster well. The light dressing let the lobster shine as the star ingredient. We also tried the potato salad, which was a hard pass. The potatoes tasted underdone and the chunks were too big. Bite into Maine is definitely one to remember. read more

Driving up from Massachusetts, it was a very rainy fall day, but we just had to stop at Bite into Maine for our first lobster roll. Turns out it was the best lobster roll of our entire trip. Bite into Maine is a small little food trailer in the parking lot at the Cape Elizabeth lighthouse. We parked, walked through the rain and stood in the rain to order and it was well worth it. We ordered the Chipotle roll which was filled with lobster and filled the tender soft roll. The Chipotle sauce had a bit of spice to it, but not overpowering, it was juicy, flavorful and overflowing with tender lobster. I ordered the picnic roll, again mounds of lobster filled the soft roll with crunchy slaw on the bottom. You must go! read more

* important *The reason I have mixed feelings is due to what I would call questionable professionalism when dealing with customer tipping. Before writing this review, I searched for similar thoughts and found one on another portal. Anyways, I specifically asked if cash is ok and staff stated that card is preferable. To make life easier, I decided to pay with card (covid precautions and all). Instead of allowing me to tap the final payment myself on the device, they specifically asked, "would you like to add a tip to that or not today?" The question didn't bother me so much as I obviously tipped, but when people in front of you eagerly tip 20%, you feel somewhat shitty if you just say 15, which is a lot anyways for a food truck, sorry. You are basically forcing a tip which the more I think about it, bothers me even more. Thanks for the good lobster meat though. As for the actual review: I'm from out of state so this was my first experience with a true Maine lobster roll. For someone without any experience in lobster rolls, I thought the actual lobster portion size was fair. Of course, for the price it could always be more. Anyways, the excitement of a new area and food find left little to complain about (except as above). read more

It's pretty rare to see a solid 5 star rating out of almost 700 reviews - so I was excited to try the lobster rolls from Bite into Maine! This little food truck is located in Fort Williams Park and you'll see a line when you drive up. The 4.5 oz lobster roll is $18.50 and the 6 oz. is $24.50 - we ordered the Connecticut and the Maine respectively. Best lobster roll I have had! The Maine had the right amount of mayo and the bun was toasted perfectly. I guess because of COVID the guy taking our orders (who was handling the card system) asked people if they would like to add a tip which was a bit awkward ... the woman in front of us took a long 7 second pause after being asked to answer in front of everyone. Once ordered it didn't take long to get our food...just the initial wait was long! read more

Well, it was amazing. When lobster is good, it doesn't need fancy accoutrements. It was $18.50 for a 4.5 oz lobster roll, so not exactly cheap but it's fair as far as lobster rolls go. I got the Connecticut--just butter and a tiny squeeze of lemon. It was simple and delicious. The lobster meat was cold and fresh, and the roll was perfectly buttered. If you're visiting the Portland Head Light, make sure to come slightly hungry or just walk around Fort Williams Park a bunch to get hungry because you'll definitely want to have room for this lobster roll. read more

If you're ever in Maine, please do yourself a favor and visit this place. I did a short lobster roll tasting on a road trip and this was my favorite place that we stopped at. The surrounding views were gorgeous. I am BIG on experiences and nothing could be more New England than eating a delicious, warm, buttery lobster roll while looking at the ocean and a quintessential lighthouse. The warm bread complemented so well with the freshness of the lobster and I will definitely be back to this place! read more

We've been traveling all over New England for the last two weeks and have had several lobster rolls throughout our trip but my daughters were most excited about trying this place as they had heard all the hype. Two of us had the CT large roll, and at $32 for a 6 oz roll, we all agreed we had far larger and better tasting rolls elsewhere (especially so in Bar Harbor), for close to the same price. The lobster meat here seemed to be claw heavy (versus tail meat) and not very sweet, and it was also not hot which would have been better. They seem to excel with their specialty rolls, as the Curry Roll was most enjoyed by our party. read more

Fort Williams Park is a lovely spot, and I couldn't imagine a better place to try my first Maine lobster roll! Since it was a first, went with a classic Connecticut - just warm butter on top. It was a fair size, and the lobster was very tender. A great introduction to the food and service in Maine! read more

Working in product marketing, I understand the importance and the struggles of coming up with marketing names... and the name "Bite into Maine" is fitting and oh so perfect! Drive into Fort Williams Park and on the right you'll see a metered parking area right in front of the food truck. There's some tables in front of the food truck but also plenty of shaded tables if you go up the hill above the food truck. Line typically goes fast but they had POS system issue on that particular date that it was oh so excruciatingly painful to wait in line in the crazy heat. This is where the shaded benches come along as a lifesaver. Menu is quite simple, pick the type of lobster roll, a drink, and a side. Not stated on the menu, there's a hidden lobster roll which combines the maine lobster roll and pinic lobster roll, called maniac. Many seemed to ask about the mayo, in fear that it would be overbearing but personally thought it was just perfect amount. Pick and choose based on your preference but I like lot of toppings with my lobster roll. For the drink, would recommend the blueberry soda. Not only is it local, it really does taste like blueberries without being overly sweet or cough syrup like taste. For the side, the potato salad was super good being simple and refreshing. Lobster roll comes in XL size and even so I could definitely eat more than one, only if the price wasn't so steep. Glad that I had changed the lobster roll destination last minute as this place was definitely worth it and afterwards you can check out the ocean and the most pictured lighthouse, Portland Head Light, just around the corner. read more

First time eating here while visiting Portland headlight. Wow! The butter selected to grill the bun obviously was perfectly procured because it really added a gorgeous butteriness to the lobster. I asked for celery salt on mine along with the chives. The Mayo was just enough to keep it together. A small is what you see and it was huge. The whoppie pie is made here as well and just the perfect amount of sweetness. Super read more

Definitely a bit of a wait to even order and then to receive your food. The Portland Head Light and Park and nice to explore the park and there are benches and tables around to sit, eat, and enjoy the view. The lobster rolls are good (but pricey of course) and they have many variations to choose from. I also had a caprese and clam chowder that were quite solid as well, read more

Was super excited to try this spot after reading all the wonderful reviews. I will start off by saying how amazing Maine lobster is, doesn't get any fresher than this. We tried the trio, which is a combination of 3 small rolls including every style they offer. Each roll had their own wonderful flavor: The picnic style had great texture because of the crunchy slaw inside. The Maine style was simple yet refreshing with a slight touch of mayo mixed in. Last the Connecticut style which I would say was my favorite, the butter added a savory taste to it. Only negative to this spot is they don't offer any side dips. I even asked for some extra butter on the side and they told me they didn't offer it at that location (Allagash). Definitely a downside when there are many others restaurants that are a bit more flexible. read more

Best lobster rolls!! This is a food truck that's right by the lighthouse and it's amazing. I got the Maine style lobster roll, wasabi, and Connecticut. Huge chunks of lobster meat and a nicely toasted bread = perfection. There is a line when the food truck opens so hop right onto it because it is just gonna get longer as people hop back on for seconds. It was $24.50 for a 6 oz lobster roll and it was so worth it because you get so much lobster and you get to eat it with a view of the ocean right in front of you. Plenty of benches and a few picnic tables around the area but if you bring a picnic blanket and eat it on the grass also you'll be living life! read more

So i've been to Portland before. But I never came to Bite into Maine before, despite coming to Cape Elizabeth last time I was here.I guess I just didn't know about it the last time. But my friend who lives here said we had to have it and it was really good. I am a big fan of everything and anything seafood and lobster rolls. I've been trying to find my favorite roll in Portland, so of course i was excited. It's safe to say that my friend did not steer me wrong. I was completely in love with the roll. I ordered the 6oz Connecticut Roll with Chips. This roll was so so good! I feel like lobster rolls aren't that complex of a meal/dish to make. However Bite into Maine seems to take the simple ingredients and make it taste so good. IDK how they take lobster + roll + warm butter and make it one of, if not THE best lobster roll i've had in Portland. And it could have been better if it wasn't so cold and windy outside. Some of my butter had solidified by the time I started eating it. However it was still a masterpiece. Service was also really great. The guy taking orders was very nice and conversational. Asked me how everything was going even before he took my order. Food was out quickly and presented well. Nothing to complain about here. Overall I will forsure give anyone a recommendation to go here, and when I come back I would love to come back and have another roll (On a warmer day lol). This is probably my favorite in Portland, only to rival Beal's Lobster Pier near Bar Harbour for me. read more

After we were done doing a little exploring at the Fort Williams Park, we came up to the Bite Into Maine Food Truck. Well we weren't planning on eating there but what the hell, we couldn't pass the opportunity to eat another lobster roll. We ordered a 6oz Maine style lobster roll. Wow!! It was so good. The lobster was not overcooked and not overly seasoned. The mayo and chive combination made this lobster roll very light and fresh. Whenever you see a Bite Into Maine food truck don't miss the opportunity to try a lobster roll. I strongly recommend. read more

Don't underestimate this small lobstah truck--they serve a seriously good roll. Our group came in the evening and ordered the Maine roll, curry roll, and wasabi roll. I had the Maine roll, and it was lobster roll perfection. The roll was buttery and crisp, the lobster was perfectly cooked + seasoned, and it was a satisfying treat. My only regret is that I wish I got another roll, but at $19.99 a pop it's a bit pricey (but reasonable because it's lobster). There are lovely picnic tables and views where you can sit and eat. It does get a bit windy but it's a great atmosphere to eat and enjoy the park. I'd definitely recommend trying Bite Into Maine for a taste of the state and a delicious lobster roll! read more

This place had the best lobster roll I tried in Maine, as well as the best clam chowder soup I ever had in my life. Both were absolutely delicious. The lobster roll was served cold and fresh, and it was so meaty and delicious and not seafoody at all (if you get what I mean). I got it "Connecticut" style which is served with warm butter on top. With the crunchy chips and the cold coleslaw (I would order this to complement the lobster roll), it was the perfect meal. I was not honestly expecting much from the clam chowder, but it was the perfect consistency (creamy and thick), with the right amount and size of clams and potatoes, with a delicious flavor, served at the perfect just hot temperature. It was seriously better than other chowders I've had elsewhere and would buy vats of this chowder!! The picnic tables outside and around the park make it the perfect place to stop to eat lunch if you're at the park! read more

Line was insanely long however the staff members were very quick and did not take away from quality. Lobster Roll Maine style had great flavor, nothing overwhelming. Potato salad was not my favorite but not bad, needed just a tad more flavor. read more

This has to be my favorite lobster roll in Portland, ME and it was so good that we went back for seconds. We stopped by Portland on our way to Bar Harbor and after the first bite, we knew we had to come back for more on our way home. The food truck is conveniently located right by the Portland Head Lighthouse in Fort Williams Park so you get to enjoy your lobster rolls with a view. They have 6 different types of rolls but we went for the Maine, curry (hint of curry powder that's not overwhelming), and wasabi (subtle but you get that slight kick of wasabi between bites). All were very flavorful, perfectly coated and generously topped on a nicely toasted buttery bun. I especially liked that the lobster meat was not in huge chunks but chopped into more of bite sized pieces. It comes in two sizes, either 4.5oz or 6oz. We each got the 4.5oz with a side and it was the perfect mid day snack/light meal. The cole slaw and potato salad were both great as well and we also got a blueberry soda to go with our meal. Everything was delicious and you can't go wrong coming here. I haven't been to their other locations but you can always visit them there if you can't make it to the food truck. Aside from the food, I appreciated that everyone was wearing their masks and respectfully distanced on line. They also offer sanitizer and contactless payment (card only). The only downside was that the wait was over an hour during lunch time on the weekend so plan accordingly. I can't wait to be back! read more

Bite Into Maine is a popular lobster food truck that gained even more fame after a feature in Somebody Feed Phil. Located in the park that is home to the Portland Lighthouse, Bite Into Maine has a spot by one of the parking lots and a couple of picnic tables. We came on a weekday so there was no wait. They have a couple of styles Maine (mayo) to CT (butter) to some others such as Curry or Picnic. We went with the CT 6" ($36) so not cheap but you do get a hefty portion of lobster and the bun had a good buttery toast to it. Was a very enjoyable bite each time. read more

I got four lobster rolls to share with the family. Maine- Mayo & Chives, Connecticut- just warm butter on top, Picnic- Coleslaw, butter, celery salt & Chipotle- smoky, chipotle mayo.

I'm not normally a huge fan of lobster rolls because I don't love the taste of cold lobster, but these were SO GOOD. This little food truck is right by the Portland Head Light, in the middle of the park. But there is always a huge group of people waiting there and for good reason. We ordered three lobster rolls - the Connecticut style (warm butter), the Maine style (mayo and chives) and the Wasabi Mayo. My favorite surprisingly was the Wasabi Mayo. It just tasted so different than any other lobster roll I've had and the wasabi actually complemented the lobster really well. The other two were equally delicious though, EXTREMELY fresh and full of flavor. Each roll has a LOT of lobster so even though the rolls are small, you will definitely get full. A must-go when in Portland!! read more

This place is a trailer sitting in the middle of the park nearby the Portland Head Lighthouse. The place has garnered national acclaim and their prices have been adjusted accordingly. $34 for a 4.5 oz lobster roll and $40 for a 6 oz. So be aware that you will be paying tourist trap prices. Indeed, I think lunch for 4 lobster rolls cost us more than last night's dinner. The rolls are simple, with lobster on a tasty bun surrounded by some potato chips. Yup, 40 bucks for the pleasure of sitting on a picnic bench (if available) to chow down on these bad boys. But, as you might guess by the stars, they did not disappoint. They were delicious and definitely some of the best I have had. So, check that off the bucket list. We had the Connecticut for the kids. Wife loved her Picnic, with Cole slaw - apparently a fan favorite and recommended by the server. I tried the wasabi, which was good but I might check out another flavor the next time. Verdict: Will I come here every day? Couldn't afford it. But if I'm around and don't feel too poor, we might visit here again on a vacation day. If the lines are not too crazy long, that is. read more

I keep saying this every meal in Portland, but the trip is now over and I have to say THIS place was the BEST place to get the ''Maine lobster' experience. The food truck is right next to Portland Head Light, which makes for a beautiful atmosphere. I got the Classic Maine Lobster Roll, and it was THE BEST LOBSTER I HAVE EVER HAD. Big praise since I had lobster 3 days in a row in Portland. Something about the chives with the lobster was an unbeatable combination, and the bread roll was so so good with the lobster. Also had the Clam Chowder, which was good, but definitely not the star of the show. Definitely recommend getting the Classic Maine 6oz, more expensive but so worth the experience. read more
