    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!

Oddly, there are so many…read morerestaurants not open on Monday's and I get it but it is the one night my friends and I can all meet up, so we are limited on trying new places. Wayside is definitely going to be in our rotation now. We each got an appetizer and entree and nothing disappointed us! The daily Crudo was a scallop dish that was amazing. We also had a cabbage salad that sounds so plain in the description but it was delicious and cabbage is not my go-to normally. I was able to try the smash burger and it lives up to all the hype I had heard about it. Staff was super friendly and prices were not crazy.

We got a text reminder as well as phone call reminder leading up to our reservation. On the day of our reservation we were greeted with a warm smiled and directed to our seats. Since we visited on Thanksgiving Day it was a prix fix menu which included the following: -Bread and Turkey Jam -Winter Squash Soup -Chicory & Arugula Salad -Roasted Turkey Breast -Braised Short Ribs -Ilma's Maple Bourbon Pie -Pumpkin Budin This menu was specifically made for Thanksgiving so I imagine guests who have to wait until the next Thanksgiving to enjoy the fare. What I can say is that the soup was my favorite and the turkey breast was not in the slightest dry. The short ribs were my friends favorite and we both loved the pumpkin budin. Service was polite and efficient and te music was upbeat and lively, despite the restaurant emiting a dark romantic vibe. I'm really thankful that they had reservations available and that the food was delicious since many restaurants in the area were already booked out. Thank you Wayside Tavern for a delicious meal!

I ordered the lobster roll flight because I wasn't sure what style I wanted. The 'flavors' I got were the Maine (mayo & chive), Connecticut (butter), and chipotle. The butter was definitely my favorite one, and I wish I had gotten a full size of that instead. The others were not bad at all, I just liked the butter the best. I will say, the chipotle didn't have any discerning flavor to me and tasted exactly like the other mayo one just without the chives. I was expecting a little spice but did not get any. I would say this place lived up to the hype for me. The lobster was absolutely delicious. Even though the flavors were mild, I would rather have it that way than drenched in mayo and overpowering the lobster.
