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

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

The "Connecticut" lobster roll

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.

Lobster roll, chowder
Eunice B.

Definitely one of the best lobster rolls I have ever had. Their gluten free bread is also quite tasty. There are plenty of picnic tables at Cape Elizabeth to eat at (be mindful of the seagulls as they can be quite aggressive).

Clam chowder
Nicole V.

I really liked this location. To put it simply I would come back. You drive into basically a park and you pay for parking in the lot. Was there a line? Yes. Did it move pretty fast? Faster than Reds. I think we waited like an hour. Getting down to the nitty gritty. Clam chowder - probably the creamiest of the chowders we had in Maine. It wasn't my favorite but others liked it. I thought personally it lacked the flavor of the others I had. Grilled cheese - this was probably the prettiest most classically perfect grilled cheese I've ever bought. It was great and dipping it into the clam chowder made it a 10/10. Lobster roll - we got the Connecticut which is just warm butter. Flavor wise I was told it's on par with reds. They preferred this bun over reds but reds has more meat. Overall a 10/10. Potato salad - 4/5. It's slightly sweet. I just didn't like the onions in it but that is personal preference View - 10/10. When I think about having a lobster roll on the coast of Maine this is exactly what I think about. Overall I think everyone should go here at least once.

NICEST HUMANS ON THE WHOLE WORLD RUNNING THOSE BUSINESS!!!! Got a lobster roll from Maine and took it down to look at the beautiful light house. Food tasted great. Fair price. There was also $6 chowder and several other menu options. Seating in front as well. Great spot!!!

While visiting Portland, we wanted to try a few lobster rolls, and this spot was one we were especially excited about after hearing so many great things on social media and even from Somebody Feed Phil. We ordered the 4.5 oz Connecticut lobster rolls with warm butter and wow, they exceeded expectations! The rolls were generously filled with perfectly cooked lobster, buttery and tender, and the bread itself was just right. We wish we had time to try some of their other rolls, but this one alone left a fantastic impression. A helpful tip: while there are only a few tables in front of the truck, you can easily take your food to the nearby beach area where there are plenty of picnic tables. This made for the perfect setting to enjoy such a delicious meal. Highly recommend stopping here when exploring Fort Williams Lighthouse!

What do people mean when they compare this to the storefront? What's the storefront restaurant of this?

This location is our original food truck. We have a small takeout - which we call the Commissary- which is at 185 US Route One in Scarborough. It started as our commercial kitchen for our food trucks...and developed into retail and takeout in 2017.

Was excited to find the Farm To Coast food truck recently because I had heard they had a vegan tofu…read morebánh mì (which is my favorite sandwich these days). I ordered two and, while my partner in crime absolutely LOVED his, I wasn't really a fan. The sandwich comes on a baguette and is filled with a slab of coconut curry marinated tofu, pickled veg (like carrots and radishes), spicy vegan mayo, and cilantro. Unfortunately, my bread was pretty burned - as such, that black toast char was the dominating flavor (and smell). It was also the dominating ingredient as the slab of tofu was much smaller than I was expecting. In the end, I tossed the bread and ate just the tofu and veggies (which, again, I wish there had been more of, and much less of the stems of cilantro). Loved the variety of spices that came from the individual components of the jalapenos, the curry, and the spread though! While I was disappointed in the sandwich I got (especially at $11 when compared to sandwiches of similar prices from other food trucks), I still think they're great. The person taking my order was super friendly, the person making the food was engaging, and their passion to use as much fresh, local ingredients as possible is impressive and appreciated. Also the presentation of their food is stunning, and proves that restaurant quality food can come out of a mobile kitchen. While they might not be my first choice, I definitely appreciate what they're creating and the flavor profiles they're exploring!

Wow! Literally no complaints or constructive criticism for this food truck. The food was cooked…read morequickly, the customer service was friendly, and portion sizes were generous. I got a Pork Belly Bahn Mi and a fry. When I dropped $17 for lunch I THOUGHT that was a lot until they handed me two large boats full of food that I couldn't finish! The sandwich was fresh and juicy. The fries were perfectly crisp and seasoned. I was able to share the fries with 2 other coworkers! It's not often that I walk away from a food truck thinking portion sizes align with both the quality and the pricing, but this one nails it. The menu isn't large, but that's because they choose to perfect what they are slinging, putting quality over quantity. Definitely give this place a try... and split the fries!

This place is the real f$&@ing deal…read more When you hear "Portland charcuterie," the first thought you probably have is a very expensive miniature spread of minimal, mediocre food and a lot of pretentiousness. This is the absolute opposite of that. The owner of this food truck is incredible. He is passionate about what he does, and he wants to make his customers truly happy with his product. And he sure does. Vegan? Vegetarian? Gluten-free? Meat-eater? He's got you. And you aren't an after-thought. Cashew cheese? Homemade mushroom pate? Ghost pepper cheese? Carefully and perfectly selected vegetables to go with it all? It's unreal. It's affordable, delicious, and so thoughtfully put together. I hope this food truck truly succeeds and that everyone can enjoy what it has to offer. Portland's best.

I had the opportunity to check out The Portland Board on one of their very first days being open…read moreand WOW. In a chapter of our local food scene's history when everything is getting dramatically more expensive while contrarily portions are getting dramatically smaller and smaller -- The Portland Board delivers. I got the Vegan Vibes board: 1. *standing ovation to The Portland Board for having a plant-based option without having to be asked or reminded that we like to eat too* It's nice not to feel like an afterthought. Also, if you're gluten-free they can accommodate you too! 2. The price was super reasonable: $18, and (segue)... 3. The "board" (because I got mine to go) had SO MUCH GOING ON. I was actually delightfully overwhelmed by the generosity. My board had pickles and olives, homemade beet hummus, a homemade mushroom paté, a homemade wedge of cashew cheese, loads of berries and grapes and peppers and cucumbers and carrots, and a mound of crackers and bread. And, no, I didn't share. Because I like to feel full after eating something I spent money on (c'mon, new restaurants and other charcuterie board businesses: in the words of our freed girl Britney "give me, give me more, give more, give me, give me more"). Also that cashew cheese was *impressive*; I've been making my own nut-based cheeses for a decade and they're good, but this? This was exceptional. I hope that The Portland Board is able to keep their current prices and their portions in this ever-changing, ever-demanding, ever-weird chapter in our food and beverage's history.
