    Maine lobster roll, Connecticut lobster roll, Blueberry Soda
    Emily B.

    Really great lobster rolls at the Cape Elizabeth location. We got both a Maine Style & CT style and both were amazing. Maine had just the right amount of mayo, and the hot butter poured from the tea kettle was such a nice touch on the CT. Bread was well toasted. Great location; too!

    The best lobster roll! Came while visiting Portland Lighthouse. Saw on Feed me Phil. They definitely load the lobster but are pricey.

    WOW i'm so impressed by these lobster rolls. We stopped by this food truck on the way to cape elizabeth and it's a must try!! I'm usually a warm roll fan, but the cold ones were perfect for the hot day. It took ~10 minutes for my roll of come out. Their sodas are also so refreshing to drink with your roll. There's benches to sit outside the truck or you can also sit on the grass nearby!:)

    I don't know how we're going to get a better lobster roll than this! We enjoyed the Connecticut style lobster roll with potato salad and Maine root sodas. The lobster was delicious and the large was perfect to split between two people. The blueberry Maine root soda was yummy and I would definitely get it again! The service was quick and accommodating, especially for a food truck. We enjoyed our lobster roll at a picnic table under a tree and it was amazing! A great introduction to Maine!

    I've been coming here for years since the first time I visited Maine. The staff is also so fast and friendly. The lobster rolls are amazing. They are generous with the lobster meat and the amount of freshly melted butter that they pour over it it's insane! My family and I really enjoy coming here every year & would highly recommend it to everyone I know.

    Honestly, there's not a better place than this specific Bite into Maine to get a lobster roll when you're visiting Portland. Especially on a nice day. Grab a hefty buttery roll and a seat in the grass. Dig in and enjoy the views!!

    Right in Fort Williams Park near the Portland Head Light. Full lobster rolls made 6 ways. We got the hot butter, which really allowed us to taste the lobster. Just a few picnic tables and it was cold so we ate in the car.

    YUMMMMAY! Ample parking with multiple lots. Do not forget to get a parking slip at the automated machine in the lot! The car next to us got a ticket for not having one displayed on their dashboard! We made an impromptu stop to Cape Elizabeth and am sooo glad we did! So impressed by the warm brioche bun and the heavy load of lobster. Priced at $31 each, I would say this is worth trying at least once!

    Great food, nice seating, and beach vibes. Only flaw was that it doesn't serve local beer.

    Sunshine, green open spaces and lobster rolls - what could be better! My son and husband had their regular lobster rolls with warm butter poured over top. I had their lobster rolls with coleslaw and warm butter. Best lobster roll I have ever had. Fresh, clean and down right delish!

    Picnic lobster roll, Maine lobster roll, potato salad and grilled cheese

    When visiting Maine I had to do my research and this spot consistently comes up as one of the best lobster rolls in Maine so we had to try it. I had been here once before and remember it being good but not a stand out but had to give it another go. It's a small food truck in the same park as Portland Head lighthouse so the location cannot be beat, on a clear day it's the perfect place to enjoy a lobster rolls. They have picnic tables and the park has plenty of tables and benches where you can eat as well. We got the picnic and Maine style 6 oz lobster rolls, with some potato salad and a grilled cheese for my toddler. I love that they tell you the amount of lobster you are paying for and the roll truly comes piled with lobster on their buttery toasted buns. However, the lobster itself was not as sweet as other places I've been, not sure how that happened and not sure I can blame the location for this but the lobster tasted bland? Which was a bit of a bummer. Additionally my husband's first bite (and second) had significant pieces of shell in them, which is not great. The potato salad was ok, a bit sweet for my taste but nice big pieces of potato. I dunno if it generally lived up to the hype for me, but still solid and large lobster rolls.

    The "Connecticut" lobster roll
    Peter N.

    Bite Into Maine at Cape Elizabeth was one of the highlights of my lobster roll adventure through Maine. The lobster comes chilled, and then--right at the pickup window--they pour hot butter over the top. Watching that pour and taking the first bite was pure magic. If I had one tiny wish, it would be for the lobster meat to already be warm before the butter pour, especially on a foggy September morning. But that's just a slight ding on an otherwise outstanding roll. No lines this time of year, friendly staff, and the iconic backdrop of the lighthouse made this stop unforgettable. Definitely a must-do if you're chasing the best lobster rolls in Maine.

    Jessica L.

    Absolutely excellent. We got the Connecticut style and it was perfect. The warm butter pour so nicely complimented the cold lobster. The bun was the perfect size and perfectly toasted. So much lobster on top. The staff working in the truck were also so lovely. Worth the stop!

    Bite into Maine, nothing better.

It also came with a small handful of fried whole bellied claws and a large amount of popcorn shrimp. The clams were disappointing, a bit on the rubbery and soggy side, sitting under the haddock getting steamed in the process. The breading had disappeared. The tiny shrimp added nothing to the dish. The cole slaw that came with both plates was weak, with little if any dressing and overly shredded veggies. All in all it was just okay, but admittedly a disappointment. I should have went with the lobster roll.

We started with the fish chowder since they didn't have clam chowder. This was probably the only dish that felt average to me, although my husband really enjoyed it. Everything else was a completely different story. The raw seafood was so fresh. We tried the oysters, clams, scallops, and spoons, and every bite tasted clean, fresh, and high quality. The prices were also surprisingly reasonable compared to a lot of other places serving similar seafood. For our entrees, we both went with the hot butter lobster roll. It was classic, simple, and exactly what I expected a good lobster roll to taste like. For the price, I definitely think it was worth it. The restaurant has a casual, laid back ambiance, which fits perfectly with the no frills seafood experience. It's a great spot if you're looking for something relaxed rather than fancy. Service was attentive, friendly, and overall great. If you're in Portland and craving seafood without wanting to spend a fortune, I highly recommend giving this place a try!

Our server did come over once during our wait saying it would be soon. Though once we got our food the server didn't check on us again til we finished. Maybe it was due to being part of the last meals being served. Not a great excuse but who knows, extremely lackluster service for a higher end spot that should make you feel welcome! We did skip out on dessert to avoid more waiting. Im glad so many people enjoy this spot, but if my wife and I are feeling a nicer dinner we will go elsewhere!
