HJ Blake's is a true Maine gem! The food is fresh and delicious, and made with care. The lobster roll is outstanding, packed with fresh lobster, and the hand-cut fries are some of the best around. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and make everyone feel welcome. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a great meal in a relaxed, family-friendly setting. If you're anywhere near Belgrade, this place is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back! read more

Fantastic lobster roll! Tender meat, perfectly toasted bun, just enough mayo with an accent of fresh dill.... And the butter is something special. Whatever the price is it's totally worth it every time! Been here numerous times and consistently it is the highest quality and flawless preparation . read more

Great food, excellent quality! Holly and her staff work hard and deliver a dependable, tasty experience.

First time at this establishment and was pleasantly surprised how quickly our orders were ready. We came about 15 minutes of them closing and they greeted us with smiles ready to get our orders. We had the Haddock Cake Sandwich and Lobster Roll with a side of Maine French Fries. So yummy and very flavorful. The atmosphere was quite nice lots of people eating outside on the picnic tables and just a very friendly bunch. We have heard a lot about H.J. Blake's we had to check it out and definitely if in the area I urge you to give it a try yourself. You won't be sorry. read more

H.J. Blakes is a small truck on the side of the road, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Yet, they had one of the freshest lobster rolls I've ever had. The added butter to pour over the top was delicious, the mayo sauce had a hint of lemon and really enhanced the lobster roll. Yet, they really let the lobster meat shine and kept the dish relatively simple. I'd highly recommended for a quick bite to eat! They had plenty of outdoor seating, though you can also totally eat in your car. read more

I usually come for the lobster roll, without the dill sauce because for me that's just overpowering. But with the price jump to $30 I decided to try the $18 lobster stew and a small order of the fresh cut french fries. I love coming here. It's basically a food truck, that's taken over a street corner with a small parking lot and several picnic tables and seating areas. They only take cash or checks, so be aware of that. The french fries were divine. And a small serving was in fact quite large. The lobster stew was more of a very light bisque. The flavor was wonderful and while there was some lobster meat, it probably deserved more for the price. If you live or are visiting anywhere in the area of Belgrade lakes, it's definitely worth checking out. They offer a surprising variety of food, including prepared salads to go read more

Lobster rolls were PACKED with lobster, perfectly cooked, sweet, and fresh, with toasted, tender buns and slaw. Everything else looked delicious!! This is the place for lobster rolls in the Belgrade area! read more

This charming roadside setup just outside Belgrade Lakes punches well above its weight. The menu is summer grilling/comfort food centric, and they have possibly the world's best lobster roll. Cash only so bring your wallet. read more

Lobster roll was good, not great. Macaroni salad was ok. French fries were really good. Lobster STEW? misleading. Watery base that was incredibly salty with pieces of lobster..nothing else..no onion, pepper, celery, potato.. very disappointing. Service was good, very nice ladies. Ambience? I guess it was good, beautiful day to sit outside and the porta-potty was clean. Won't be back. read more

Out of the way, nice, relaxed place offering good food served by good people! Heading back there today.

Hidden Gem Alert! If you're ever in Belgrade, do yourself a favor and stop at HJ Blake's - this place is the definition of a hidden gem. I have never had a single bad thing from here (and trust me, I've tested the menu plenty!). The burgers? Absolute perfection every time - juicy, flavorful, and cooked exactly how I like them. The lobster roll? 100% worth every penny - fresh, buttery, and packed with lobster the way it should be. And the haddock sandwich? Forget everything you thought you knew about haddock sandwiches - this one sets a whole new standard. On top of the food, the vibe is just as good - the staff are always so kind, fast, and welcoming. You feel like you're in on a secret every time you eat here. Bottom line: whether you're local or just passing through, HJ Blake's is the kind of spot you'll dream about long after your plate is empty. read more

Little secret by the road quaint food stand that makes the best cheeseburger and fries around. They also offer homemade baked goods that usually sell out. It's not expensive knowing that every time I eat there it's going to be made fresh to order. It may be a little wait but it is worth it. I always wonder why I don't go there more often. Worth the trip. read more

Took a pic of the cod sandwich my uncle likes. Just adding onto my other reviews I have. read more

This is one of the closest eateries near us and again, like Scapes, we are very lucky to have it! They are seasonal, Holly closed on 9/14/24 for the 2024 year. I have enjoyed everything I've had here- the haddock burger is bigger than one would expect and I usually can't fill it. The Maine-ah dog has inspired me to make my own at home- but it's such a great deal for a really really good meal near me. My friend from Alabama had the lobster roll here and at McLoons in spruce head and she said this one was the better one! I always have to get fries here- they are phenomenal. I'm not a fries person but I will always order them. Holly has come out to check on our meals each time I eat there. It's a unique experience, eating at a 4 way intersection in the middle of the woods and I miss it in the winter when I want a quick meal. It's seasonal and usually follows summer vacation, mid June to mid September. read more

BEST LOBSTER ROLL EVER. Generous portions, amazing dill mayo sauce, and a very kind and passionate owner. Definitely stop by!

Great lobster rolls near Belgrade Lakes! We like getting takeout & listening to music on the green.

Our group decided to bring some delicious lobster rolls onto the Pontoon for a dinner cruise. We were able to call ahead to HJ Blake's and they were super accommodating. Our order was ready when requested and was freshly made. The lobster rolls were overflowing with delicious fresh lobster meat and the roll was crisply buttered and toasted. We'll be sure to visit HJ Blake's again to experience more of their delicious cuisine. read more

Don't skimp on the meat! Solid place. Everything they had was great. Just cause it's a shack on the side of the road doesn't mean it's poor quality. Place even makes their own desserts. read more

I don't know why it took me so long to try H.J. Blake's. The lobster roll was packed with sweet, fresh, meat and a side of warm butter. The haddock burger was delicious and served on a wonderfully light bun. Fries super hot and served with just the right amount of salt. We will be back. read more

Great food and hands down, the BEST lobster roll you've ever tasted. Service is friendly, the quality of all the food is consistently great and the quaint setting is charming. Finding the parking lot full on a Tuesday at 2:00PM was not a surprise and speaks volumes of the popularity of this little gem in Belgrade! read more

Hands down best Lobster Roll I've ever had in Maine. Cute little "off the road" stand in the middle of Belgrade Lakes. Todays MKT price was $30.00 for this lobster roll, and it was worth every penny. The portion was substantial and the creamy tarter sauce under was delicious and not overbearing! Stopped at a place in Freeport a day earlier and this roll BLEW it out of the water. Just a heads up, it is CASH ONLY...nearest ATM is 3 miles away, which is its only downfall. However, worth going the extra mile! Might have to go back one more time before leaving Belgrade Lakes! read more

This is a great place with outstanding food. I think they have the best lobster roll in Maine.

We love HJ Blake's. The haddock cake sandwich is great and both kids love the hot diggity dog (we can't find the siracha mayo anywhere!)

HJ Blake's has the best lobster rolls I've ever had every time I go. I get mine with dill aioli and butter. My brother opts out of the butter. Lots of perfectly cooked lobster. Their fries are good too! read more

Just gets better and better. This year's lobster roll was $25 and worth every luscious bite. At least 6 oz of pristine lobster meat (clearmeat some might call it). A beloved little hidden gem in Belgrade Lakes. read more

Delicious! How they work in that tiny kitchen space I will never know but the food they make has it's own special food truck type flare! A must go at some point if you are visiting the area. I have tried many things on the menu and would easily have any again. It is very hard to pick which food to order when we go because it is all so good! Outside seating but they do take out too so don't let rainy days discourage you. Just an FYI, they only take cash. Price may seem high but once you taste the food it is worth every bite and the owner cares, someone even if not the owner that particular day, always comes by our table and asks if we like what we ordered. read more

So this is a nice little gem in Belgrade... food is very solid!!! Had to try the lobster roll and was definitely one of the best around. Ordered a grilled cheese and some hot dogs for the kids. The grilled cheese was solid the hot dogs, very skimpy... 5* for the taste 3* for the value (hot dog prices high for the hot dog used) read more

Stopped to treat myself to a lobster roll. I cannot emphasize enough to ask for the sauce they put in it on the side. It ruined my roll. The roll was FULL of lobster, on a beautifully toasted roll. But under the lobster was an excess of this white sauce that drenched the roll and made it all fall apart. Without the horrible sauce it would have been excellent but the wet mushy roll was awful. read more

Best Haddock Sandwich in New England. We look forward to eating there every time we are in the area!

the best lobster roll i have ever had! worth the price for sure, I will be back to have it again soon!

I really like to support local business, and our family has been supporting Holly's business in the summer since they opened about 5 years ago. Holly's crew does a great job with Maine summer basics in their tiny food truck, and they've been steadily improving their outdoor seating every summer. I've always thought them a bit overpriced for both the setting and the fare, but as they do a good job I've continued to support them. However, this summer I had quite the sticker shock when getting a bacon cheeseburger, veggie burger and a large fries -- what cost $19.25 last summer cost $32.50 this summer! I'm used to overpriced food truck fares (have lived in SF, Seattle, NYC and Portland Maine) but this was way beyond the pale, especially as the veggie burger almost doubled in price (from $8.50 to $15) in just one year. It makes me both puzzled (why the drastic change?) and sad as it means we won't be eating there again. read more

I'm so glad we decided to stop in and have dinner here! The lobster roll was outrageous and the fries, hit dog, and sandwiches were all given the thumbs up by our party of 7. The women working here were lovely as well. I will definitely be back. read more

Found this treasure after spending the morning at Dew Wildlife Sanctuary. This permanent food stand is clean, colorful, and inviting. It offers covered picnic tables in the sun or shade. Owner/Chef is on-sight. We ordered haddock cake sandwiches and hand-cut fries. Oh my! I had no idea what to expect, but if I had expectations they would have been far surpassed... The large sandwich consisted of fresh, flakey haddock mixed with just a bit of egg, crumbs, Vidalia onion and herbs. It was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, covered in melted havarti and accented by her homemade tartar with dill. The bun was not too thick, soft and flavorful. It was perfection. The fries were crispy outside an potato-y inside. Not greasy or heavy. Very lightly salted. The vinegar was in a spray bottle, so we were able to coat the fries perfectly. Loved it! If I am ever in the area again, I will seek out HJ Blake's (and more for goodness sakes)! read more
