    Lobster  Roll Flight
    James H.

    Bite Into Maine is a must-stop if you're anywhere near Portland. I tried the lobster roll flight and it was absolutely incredible--two Connecticut style rolls (my fav) and one Maine style, all perfectly prepared and loaded with flavor. Every bite was amazing, and pairing them with a fresh pour from Allagash Brewing took the experience to another level. The service was just as good as the food--the crew working the truck was super friendly and cool. Between the outstanding lobster rolls, great beer, and awesome vibes, this is easily a spot I'll come back to every time I visit Portland. Plus, they are the only ones (that I'm aware of) doing lobster roll flights.

    BIM, was recommended by a local foodie as the Best Lobster Roll in Portland. We tried a Large Maine style ( $37) at The Lighthouse location and agree, best We tried. Good shareable size. Like the consistency of the Lobster a bit broken down, no big pieced falling out, holding together. Got a recommendation for slaw versus potato salad and it was very good. Man that little trailer in the park must be printing money! The airstream parked at Allagash was also excellent. We were lobstered out so tried the regional red hot dog. Really good, glad we did. Served on those glorious buttered buns with mustard relish and added pickled onions, Served with chips. Messy and uniquely delicious. Tried the potato salad this time and it was money. Fresh red potatoes in a light mayonnaise sauce, so fresh and home made. The grilled cheese was also a hit. I would try any of their sandwiches!

    $90 for two lobster is wild. They only came with chips. We got curry Lobster and lobster with butter. They were decent but the lobster was all chopped up. No real, chubk of meat. This feel like tourist trap

    Service is excellent! I tried the '3 mini rolls' sampler with these options: The Maine, Picnic and the Connecticut lobster rolls. My least favorite was the Connecticut. The Maine and the Picnic rolls were great but my favorite was the staff's recommendation--The Picnic, which has coleslaw at the bottom. At first when the guy behind the counter recommended the Picnic roll, I looked at him with some doubt, but said let's see what it's about. I'm so glad I tried it. The staff knows what's up! I also tried the whopper pie but that was just okay.

    On my New England tour we had 7 different lobster roll spots, and I have to say unequivocally that Bite into Maine is the BEST. You will however pay for the privilege, and if you're like me and it's the first Maine lobster roll you've had you will unfortunately compare every next one, and it will ruin them for you. The freshness of the meat and simplicity is unmatched. The bun is perfectly toasted. You will leave this place thinking, wow...this is it. This is why people come here. What an amazing spot that does their primary focus incredibly well. Highly recommended. 5*.

    6 oz lobster roll

    Went with the traditional lobster roll and it is the best we have had in Portland. (Our other roll was from a popular institution that has thousands of reviews.) To upgrade to the 6 oz roll, it was $41 after tax. We just went with the traditional with hot butter. Great lobster, awesome roll, and very stuffed with lobster meat. Great placement to have the food truck right on the Allagash property. We got here early and it wasn't much of a wait, but as it got later in the day the lines were longer.

    This is in regards to the bite into Maine inside the allagash brewing location. I live in Georgia and do not get the luxury of having lobster rolls all the time. I was really looking forward to a fresh lobster roll and was quickly disappointed. My family ordered 4 lobster rolls (very pricey mind you) but they came out cold! They were CT style which is supposed to be hot buttered. The bun was toasted and buttered, the lobster was once buttered, as it had a glaze and chunks of coagulated butter on it, and the meat was so cold. The worker refused to heat it up. Very disappointed especially for the price and advertisement as "hot lobster roll"

    Chips and crab(?) dip

    The streets don't wanna hear this but the best lobster rolls in Portland are at a brewery. Bite Into Maine has a perma-spot at Allagash which is perfect for those wanting to hit 2 birds with one stone (that sounds terrible smh). My cousin is into rolls with mayo and I like mine warm with butter. My mom is team whatever. In the end we got some sort of crab dip, a mayo roll, a butter roll, and a butter roll with slaw (mine). Outstanding truly. It takes about 10-15 minutes to get your food and it's worth the wait. We went to other lobster legends in the city and nothing compared. The beer was great too ;)

    Connecticut, Picnic & Maine

    I'm glad they were conveniently located at Allegash. I ordered the lobster roll flight, which gave me three mini rolls- Maine, Connecticut, and picnic. The buns were nicely toasted. Of the three, I enjoyed the picnic one the most. The rolls also came with a side of chips. It was a solid start to the beginning of my lobster roll journey.

    Lobster flight

    I highly recommend ordering the flight. All three of the rolls I had were excellent. My partner ordered the lobster BLT and was pleasantly surprised. We also shared a red potato salad on the side that was delicious! We ordered while enjoying some delicious beers at Allagash brewery. This was one of my best meals in Portland.

    The lobster grilled cheese was very good. The cheese really made it.

    While in ME, I was on a quest to have as many and the best lobster that I could get. Being from Pittsburgh, we don't have good lobster. I am so happy that I could have lobster here. It was really good. I wanted to try something different than the standard lobster roll. They had lobster grilled cheese on the menu so I had to try it. I am so glad that I did. It was really good. I loved the cheese they used. It was amazing and really made it. The lobster was good too. I wish there was a bit more of it for the price. The bread was really good. My husband had the Caprese sandwich and he really liked. he said the mozarella and tomato were really fresh. He is tough on bread and thought it was really good. They are really nice there and gave you your food in a reasonable amount of time. Definitely check them out.

    Lobster roll 6oz-$40

    I still wondering how food truck food can be so good and fresh???!!!! Omg the day we went was super windy. I tried to put down my lobster roll on the table to take a picture. I guess you knew what's coming next. It flipped my roll!!!! Thankfully I was about to save 3/4 of my sandwich!!! At the point my hubby.... his eyes was talking to me with angry words. "I told you. You never listen"!!! Omg. Words can't express how I felt. So guys please hold on tight to your $40 lobster roll on a windy day. So that was a unfortuate situation I went through. "Hubby said, you just lost $10 of lobster." Anyhow, the lobster were in smaller pieces not chunks. They are fresh lobster and just enough mayo and chive. On a better note. The pull pork sandwich $15 was the highlight of our visit. It was the best we have ever had. Get the lobster roll because you are in Maine and you got to it Bite into Maine, but get the pull pork also. You will thank me later. My kids had the Caprese. Their words were "tasted like a margarita pizza". It did looked fresh. I didn't get a bite of it so I have no say. I was really full from the lobster roll and pull pork shared with my husband. I would go back next time I visit.

    Beer bear with beer cheese
    Allison S.

    Great option at Allagash. The staff here is soooo nice. We sat in the tables right by the truck, so I was able to witness the interaction between them with many guests - and their service was top notch. Definitely should have tried the lobster roll which is obviously one of the crowd favorites. The lobster BLT on the ciabatta bun just wasn't it. Way too bread-y. I couldn't even eat it - I ended up just picking off the lobster meat and eating that plain. We also got the claim dip which was very good and the beer brat with beer cheese - which is incredible. They have many great options and it's your food choice at Allagash so grab a few beers and dig in!

    We were cruising around the Old Port having drinks and apps before dinner…read more We popped into Dry Dock for drinks and to sit on the upstairs patio. We immediately got on the waitlist for the upstairs decks & headed to the bar for drinks. Service was quick and friendly. Drink menu was good list had many options. Bartenders were knowledgeable about the drinks. I was a little disappointed I wanted to add a little fruit puree from one of the other drinks to mine and they stated most are premade so they don't have the fruit purée available as a mixer...bummer. After about 20-25 minutes we went up to the deck. Great place. Nice little view of the bay. We saw a harbor seal while having drinks. We ordered the mussels for an app. Let me tell you WOW. They may be the most succulent large muscles and broth I ever had. Muscles are a favorite dish,we usually try them at those restaurants. This was not just an ordinary wine broth, this was straight clam chowder!! I seriously asked for a spoon so I could "drink" the left over broth. Hands down most delicious mussels. Only complaint, I could've used more bread. Ha ha Must try!!

We were also fortunate enough to sit outside on their upstairs patio, though the interior decor would have been pretty cool to check out. For a beverage, my wife and I decided to split the Scorpion Bowl. It wasn't fishbowl sized like some places but it definitely had a good enough kick for the both of us to get a little buzz off of it. For the kids to eat, they got a cheeseburger and chicken fingers, both with fries and chocolate milk. The Cheeseburger was pretty run of the mill and our somewhat picky daughter had no problem with her chicken fingers with ranch to dip. The fries (for all 4 of us) were very McDonald's-esque plus a little extra salt to boot. Pretty good but nothing crazy. My wife got a lobster roll with the gluten free bun (she's celiac) and seemed to enjoy it pretty thoroughly, especially with the extra melted butter for the top. She finished the whole thing and seems like she got a pretty decent portion. I got the fish and chips (though the tuna couscous special was pretty tempting, just not at $46). The fish wasn't really an overly impressive portion and the tartar sauce wasn't much to my liking at all. All in all, this place was just OK. They seemed a little on the high end pricewise for what they had to offer and relied pretty heavily on the fries to fill us up instead of focusing on the entree as the star of the show. With all the other great places around the Old Port, I'd have to say this isn't a place I'm going to go out of my way to go back to.

My husband I loved this place so much we came here twice within a 24 hour period. The lobster roll is just French freaking kiss. Wow.. mouth watering good.

The restaurant was busy during lunch, so clearly many customers are comfortable dining there despite the cost. I ordered the small calamari, which was tasty, well prepared, and not overly crisp. Update following the owner's response: I understand that seafood and restaurant operating costs are high, particularly during the summer in Maine. My review reflected my honest reaction to the prices and the value offered during my visit. I gave the restaurant three stars and did not attack the business or its staff. I am disappointed that the owner responded with personal, condescending remarks rather than addressing a customer's concerns professionally. Readers can evaluate both my review and the owner's response for themselves.
