Frenchman Bay Lobster Rolls completely delivered. We got two large lobster rolls packed with an ample, incredibly generous amount of fresh meat, plus a side of mac and cheese that tastes identical to Panera Bread (and I'm definitely not complaining--pure comfort food!). Be prepared to drop over $100 for this kind of spread, but the quality makes it a total treat. Best of all, you can grab your food and walk right across the street to Agamont Park to soak in the incredible harbor views while you eat!
I would say the lobster was on the overcooked side and my wife and I got two different lobster rolls. I couldn't eat the cold Maine style one. The CT style with butter was a little bit better. It's super nice that they have picnic blankets to use to sit nearby. You do get a decent amount of lobster but the texture for me was a little too firm (rubbery) for my taste.
We had friendly service, willing to explain to us options on the menu. The lobster roll sizes supposedly are equivalent to 0.5 lobster for a small, 1 lobster for a medium, and 1.5 lobsters for a large. We didn't have a long wait on a Thursday at noon. After the short line, and ordering, we got a buzzer and waited for maybe 6 minutes for our order to be ready. We sauntered across to Agamont park, sat on the grass, and took in the incredible views of the harbor while enjoying these lobster rolls. We got one large hot, one large classic, a lobster mac and cheese, and a plain mac and cheese. All were satisfying and delicious. I honestly couldn't taste the mayo on the classic. It was very light. I really also enjoyed that they took credit cards, including AmEx. Finally, not having to take out $100+ from an ATM for lobster rolls. I mean it's 2026. Thank you Frenchman Bay!
Amazing-- and worth the price because not only is it delicious but the view from eating it in the park is absolutely priceless. These were the second best lobster rolls we had the entire trip (and we tried a lot). Would definitely recommend.
What a cute little place! The staff were friendly and welcoming. No seating area available, but there is a small park across the street and they offer you warm red blankets to picnic on. We had the Classic and the Hot Lobster Roll. While they were both delicious, I'm definitely a Hot Lobster roll kind of girl. We enjoyed it so much we had to stop by again on our way to the airport. One last one for the road.
This is a must stop when you are in Bar Harbor, Maine. You know it's going to be good when you see 20 people in line waiting to place their takout order. Although it was a long line, it didn't take too long to get to the order counter. They give you a buzzer to tell you when your order is ready. They have no inside seating but there is a park across the street with plenty of benches. The Lobster Rolls were fantastic. You can tell the Lobster is fresh. They have both hot and cold rolls with different flavored sauces. Highly recommended.
What to.do in Bar Harbor Maine? Eat lobster of course! Frenchman Bay Lobster is a tiny storefront with just enough room to go in and place your order. You're given a buzzer to take outside to notify you when your order is ready. I ordered the the classic roll with mayo & lettuce & my husband got the hot roll with melted butter, both smalls. Well the lobster certainly wasn't small. It was an extremely generous portion of delicious fresh lobster. I picked off 4 or 5 nice pieces before even biting into the the sandwich. The roll was nicely toasted & fresh. The mayo & lettuce were minimal allowing the sweet taste of the lobster to shine. I want another one just thinking about it! It's also served with a bag of chips that I munched on later. They offer nice blankets to borrow to take across the street to sit on in the park. I thought that was a nice touch. Good service and great food. 2025-78
Hands down, this is THE best place to indulge and enjoy a delicious lobster rol coupled with quite the breathtaking view! The hot roll is an absolute must! The white mac and cheese is another fan favorite! I mean, for my one-year-old to have loved, that speaks volume! And they offer a blanked for your picnic with a view? Stop it! Why must you spoil us? Keep in mind this is not a restaurant where they can sit indoors/outdoors. The space is tiny and you're only meant to order and pickup. But there's nothing wrong with that. Grab one of their blankets and have yourself a nice little picnic. This is truly a core memory for my little fam.
Holy lobster mac & cheese! I know that most people come here to get the lobster rolls, but after splurging and having a lobster roll pretty much every day while I was in Maine, I wanted to switch things up. So for a late lunch, I decided to try the decadent lobster and white cheddar mac & cheese. This was the epitome of comfort food and luxury decadence. I appreciated that it was white cheddar mac & cheese and none of that artificial orange stuff. They piled the piping hot fresh lobster meat on top and I took my dish across the street and enjoyed it in the park. So if you are craving lobster, but want to switch it up from the traditional lobster roll, I cannot recommend the lobster mac & cheese enough. This is a take away spot, so there is no in-house dining, but the service was extremely fast and friendly.
Freshest, tastiest, most incredibly cooked lobster I've ever had in my life. The Lobster Roll is a MUST! We also got a slaw dog and clam chowder, both of which were delicious. Service was beyond excellent! If you're even within a 100 mile radius of Bar Harbor, you need to try this spot!
It's a small take out place with a great seafood. You can get food and eat in front of it on the grass. Service was quick and helpful. You order and they give you a little beeper and you just wait your turn. Place is time and has New England vibe. We had lobster bisque, clam chowder and a small lobster roll. We enjoyed all the food very much. Definitely a great place to go. You can choose a size of a lobster roll, so if you don't want a large one, you can have just a small snack. Great place in a great location.
After several hours navigating carriage trails on gravel bikes, we were more than ready for lunch. FBLR served up its namesake product that hit the marks for both deliciousness and quantity--damn, that's a heckuva lobster roll! We dined al fresco on a bench in Agamont Park with a million dollar view of the Mt Desert Narrows.
Quite literally the best lobster bisque I have ever had in my life!! This spot is right next to the water, and next to a little park/hill that is perfect for a picnic especially since this tiny shop is takeout only (no seats inside). We got there about 12/12:30pm on a Saturday and there was no line, but by the time we left downtown Bar Harbor an hour later there was a line out the door! What I loved about the lobster bisque is that it was perfectly creamy, with a good balance of sherry, cream, butter, and lobster. They even had huge chunks of FRESH lobster! I'm just used to the lobster bisque that has little to no lobster, but the fact that I found 3 lobster claws in my bisque felt like I hit a jackpot. A must go for lobster bisque! They also sell lobster rolls which we didn't get to try. Clam chowder is pretty decent as well, but the lobster bisque was definitely the star of the show.
This place lived up to its reputation. Small place right near the water. My daughter and I got a few lobster rolls. Super fresh. Young lady said the lobster was caught earlier in the day. This was the best lobster roll I ever had. read more

Let me just say I have been in bar harbor for a week and have been disappointed by the food so far but that ended today when I got this amazing lobster roll. We all got the hot roll which is chock full of chopped meat and doused in hot butter. The meat was just perfect and what I have been looking for all week. The bun did split at the bottom because of all the butter but honestly, it was so good I didn't care. Plus, they have a basket of blankets for you to borrow and sit on the green right across the street. One friend did get Mac and cheese which, was bland and not very hot. So I'd say stick with the lobster! read more

My sis and I shared and enjoyed the sampler which are three mini lobster rolls (warm buttery, mayo and plain cold). Our fave is the warm buttery lobster roll. They were quite stuffed and we were pretty full. We had to try the red hot even though the red coloring kinda turned us off. We were expecting more of a bite to the hot dog. read more

Iconic lobster rolls! There sooooo many options in area for a good lobster roll and I spent an hour trying to narrow down a spot. Frenchman Bay seemed to have the best reviews and price ratio and I'm so glad we got to try it! The lobster meat were juicy and came in large chunks. The bread was perfectly toasted. Staff were kind and provided suggestions. No seating, but there is a park across the street to enjoy your food :) read more

Very good lobster roll in butter soak. I needed a side of Kate's from Maine butter like the one I had at Reds in Wiscasset Maine the day before. But, excellent lobster Roll small size ordered and was plenty today. Nice location, fast friendly service ... no complaints, only compliments from me. read more
Last day in Maine so grabbed a hot lobster roll to eat at the park viewing the harbor. It was a hot day but overall I really enjoyed the hot buttery version of the lobster roll and probably prefer this over cold in most cases since butter + lobster = :) read more

After tasting the various lobster rolls and clam chowders in Bar Harbor~ this was the tastiest by far!! The Hot roll was overflowing with chunks of lobster. The clam chowder had so many clams; I could taste the brine. There is no seating. Take this opportunity for a picnic across the street. We had a beautiful view of the harbor. Would come back on a return trip to Bar Harbor. read more

For the price - the roll was packed with lobster! Oh my goodness. With soo many places to choose from, soo glad we chose this place. Prices were reasonable and service was quick. There isn't any place to sit but we found some planters next to the establishment to sit and eat at. You could also get some blankets you could borrow to sit at the park across the street. A tiny little spot that produces some great food! read more

What can I say but ... AMAZING! This small establishment is easy to miss, but worth the find. When you walk inside, there is little room to stand given it's small size ... and the number of people waiting. And once it was my turn to order, I was greeted with an incredible amount of positivity. I think she asked ... "How can I bring joy to your life?". Wow! What a way to take someone's order. So warm and kind. I proceeded to order a 4oz Hot Roll (with butter) and my daughter got the 2oz Hot Roll. While placing my order, I noticed on the counter there were some blueberry treats. Upon further inspection, they turned out to be blueberry whoopie pies. Oh My! And when I asked about them, I was told they were made fresh that morning. Double oh my! And that was all I needed to hear ... as I added one to my order. When the food arrived, I took my box of goodies to the park across the street, found a nice bench, and proceeded to dig in. What an amazing lobster roll. So fresh! It was devoured in minutes. As we paused to reflect on the euphoric experience, we momentarily forgot about the whoopie pie. And then we saw it. It was time. WOW! Fresh. Full of cream (I mean really full). One of the best whoopie pies EVER!!! I HIGHLY recommend you try this place. Again, and again! read more
