Beware, cash only!!! I'd have given it 5 stars if not for that. But that said, customer service was awesome. We didn't realize it was cash only and had already given our order. Total was $17 something and I only had $16 on me. The nice lady behind the counter said don't worry about it and I was about to say take our drinks off the tab. Granted, less than $2 but how many establishments would do that these days? We returned later and were happy to hand over a $5 to make up the difference and say thank you. She objected but we felt it was necessary. Food: we got burgers (thankfully since I only had $16 cash...). Really really good!! Perfect size. I got coleslaw as well and it was good but not great. I like sweet coleslaw as I'm from the south and this was more on the bland side. TL;DR I would 100% return if ever nearby again. read more

Love this local spot for a quick but delicious burger. I'm not a seafood guy really so I don't care for lobster or clam rolls - but my company always raves about them so I assume you'll like 'em too. read more

You can't order anything that isn't prepared with excellent ingredients and more importantly prepared with loving attention to the end result. read more

Best. Burger. Ever. And one of the FEW places that will cook to order. I asked for Medium Rare, and the very nice gentleman at the grill told me it would be ready in 2 minutes...and so it was, and perfectly cooked. This is a roadside shack but it seems to run with the precision of a top notch bricks and mortar restaurant. The burger is the only thing I've had, but everything I saw being picked up at the window looked great, especially the lobster rolls. The sign said they were out of Haddock Chowder and it was just 12:30 so I have to assume it is excellent as well. My way---Medium Rare w/ red pepper relish, pickles, deli mustard, vidalia onion, lettuce and tomato. #mouthwatering #toogoodtobetrue read more

Tasty! Reasonably priced, pleasant service and easy to find with ample parking. Lobster rolls were simple yet perfect. Recommend! read more

Larson's Lunch Box - Lobster rolls! - Seafood Near Me - Damariscotta, Maine

Absolutely the best damn cheeseburger on the frikken planet by a thousand miles! And oh by the way, why does Larson's lobster rolls also taste better than anyone else's in the area? Take as many days off as you want but just come back every so often to serve up some really good food the way that you do. I'll be back for sure! read more

I am so sad they have closed for the season early. The lobster and crab rolls are delicious but they have absolutely the best cheeseburgers I have ever had! All you need is the burger, American cheese and ketchup, so good! Very friendly service and during this unusual season, they went beyond the safety protocols and mandates required by the state of Maine, I felt very comfortable ordering and eating there. I hope they will return! read more

The burger was great! And I'm from Texas. Very reasonably priced as well. I would come back every day if possible.

We grabbed a quick bite after a beautiful morning kayaking in Damariscotta. I had the lobster roll "naked" style (plain with side of drawn butter). It was fresh and filling. I also ordered fried zucchini which was good. My mom got the hamburger and it looked really good too. Simple menu and fresh, delicious food with a relaxed, picnic style vibe. read more

We ate here before our Damariscotta River cruise, and it was wonderful. While they have renowned crab and lobster rolls, we had been eating seafood for a week and two of us got hamburgers while I had a fish sandwich. The hamburgers were outstanding, the fish sandwich wonderful, although a fried "square" of fish, but served on a fresh bun with a nice slab of tomato and crisp fresh lettuce - delish. Service was friendly. The staff work their butts off. Prices were very reasonable. We could have spent more a McDonald's without the atmosphere - which is picnic-table-in-parking-lot kitchy. We loved it. read more

Best. Zucchini. Sticks. EVERRRRRRR! The lobster and Crab rolls are delicious as well!! And the fries are so crispy and Perfect. But those zucchini sticks are huge chunk of zucchini! The wasabi dipping sauce compliments it well!!! Best in all of the USA! read more

We come to Maine every summer and make sure we stop at Larson's at least once. IMO, the best Lobster roll on the mid coast by far. Friendly, fair priced and fun to eat at a roadside spot. Don't like lobster? The crab roll is amazing too! Oh and the onion rings...I could go on. read more

Still great - actually probably one of the best lobster rolls in mid coast Maine. Good fries too. Prices are good compared to other places. read more

Hidden gem of a food shack that even tops Red's Eats in my opinion. The price of a lobster roll is about $16 and has just a little less meat than Red's while having a substantially better tasting roll. They also have many other options as well such as a haddock chowder which we didn't try this time. While not close to many other things, it's not too out of the way as long as you plan on taking route 1. read more

It's a great little spot for a quick lunch or early dinner. It's counter service only with outdoor seating the place is clean well kept. I love the hamburgers and French fries. The burgers are not large but really good try it with lettuce, tomato, onions and pickles. Service is fast and food is great read more

The line at Red's is too long for ya? Well, drive up the road to Larson's for some delicious food. Very generous lobster roll and great outside seating. Ample parking. read more

Hidden gem on the side of the highway. Haddock chowder was light and tasty. Lobster rolls were very big and very delicious. For reference, in July of 2014 the lobster rolls were $14. Baked beans were very good as well. Lots of non-seafood options, so everyone will find something that they will enjoy here. read more

I agree! Can't believe there aren't more reviews. In addition to the huge and delicious Lobster roll, I think the crab roll is fantastic. They also make a "Syrian" salad with cucumber, red onion and mint that is refreshing and a great foil to the rich sandwiches. The restaurant is CLEAN clean clean both inside and out (I took a peek inside), which I love, and Bill and Barb couldn't have been more friendly. I wouldn't waste my time at Red's when I can get a better lunch at a spotless restaurant just down the road. read more

Stopped here for lunch because we were in the area. What a great decision. I had a crunchy, wonderful chicken sandwich. My husband had the chili cheeseburger which was also delicious. Nice people, good food. Pleasant outdoor seating with umbrellas for shade. Cleanest restroom ever. read more

Great lobster roll, they were out of meat so no burgers for what they are known for. No biggie...

Very good, very healthy homemade food here. Great take out spot for the businesses in the area. Tourist season is when they are open and will rob you blind with the price of their lobster rolls, however that is typical in Maine. They are slightly pricey but the quality is worth the extra few dollars. All and all a nice place for a quick bite on the go. They only have outdoor seating. read more

Great lobster roll. Interesting and tastey sides. Nice service.

I've stopped in three or four times and each time I had a great handmade hamburger. It was delicious. Great little spot. My wife had a lobster roll she said it was a little bland for her taste. But she did enjoy the hamburgers that she's gotten there. Would recommend to others. read more

This place is special- one of the best lobster rolls I've eaten. Decent amount of meat and right amount of butter subtly applied-

Excellent. Best lobster rolls in town.

We love the food and friendly service. The potato salad, balsamic black bean salad, and the red pepper relish are unique and absolutely delicious. read more

Crab roll: Great. By great I mean they didn't "cut back" and give you the small shreds like some places in Freeport (on Route 1 (close to Muddy Rudder)). Lobster roll: Great. Grilled chicken sandwich: They actually made it from scratch. Not really much to say... other than they don't take credit cards if I recall... excellent food and friendly service in a quaint somewhat out of the way location. Comfy as heck on a summer afternoon. read more

Absolute shit hot dogs overcooked French fries cooked last month run away to a local McDonald's or something P.S. no bathroom

Dig it. Easy. Simple. Delicious. Classic. It's not easy to do the basics well. These sisters do them very, very well. Hooray for two sisters. read more

Just left there after a great cheeseburger. My sister came in from Arizona and the first thing she wanted was their lobster rolls. A week and a half later my nephew flew into Portland. I picked up him and his daughter and the first stop was Larson's for their lobster rolls. (we also returned another day for more lobster rolls). read more

If, you are anywhere near Damariscotta, Larsen's is not to be missed. Their lobster roll is the very best around. Large chunks of lobster, mixed with mayonaisse.I would say there has to be over a pound of lobsta.The flavor of the lobster melds with the mayo. Yummy! The buttered hotdog roll is grilled and you have to eat most of the lobsta with a fork. I believe the price is around $14.00. They also make a great clam chowder. Whole bellies, not chopped up clams. The clam chowder is on Friday. This little gem, is for take out only. There are picnic tables for dining. Enjoy! read more

Have been hearing about Larson's since I arrived 2 weeks ago and wasn't disappointed with the lobster roll! It's on my stop list when I'm in Damariscotta. Worth the visit. read more

If you have not met Barb and Billy,(lunchbox owners),then you have not met the hardest working couple in town. Food is fantastic and service with a smile and attention to detail. The crabroll and kielbasa Rueben are our favorites. You won't be disappointed read more

For informal, inexpensive outdoor dining, this is as good as it gets. My wife had the crab roll, which was excellent, although I'm not a fan of northern crab. I had a bowl of the haddock chowder, which was full of generous chunks of haddock in a delicious broth, neither over-salted nor thickened. I also tried the fried zucchini, a signature side dish, which could be described as a subtle alternative to onion rings. As an accompaniment, I chose the wasabi cucumber mayonnaise, which offered a little bite to contrast with the blandness of the fried squash. Simple fare, yes, but with a delicate touch. No Michelin stars, but a standout in its class. I should add that my order was cooked promptly by a cheerful and friendly kitchen staff. read more

Delicious veggie burger and sweet potato fries. A great stop on the way to Loud's island!

Mediocre lobster roll, no comparison to Red's. Not much lobster and too much mayo - overpriced at $15.95. Watery small cup of chili.

Yum!!! Fantastic lobster rolls and haddock chowder. The other selections looked good too.

Can get a little expensive when you have a lot of people. You can call ahead! The burgers and the lobster rolls are well worth it.

Always delicious!!! Year after year after year, I come back to Larson's Lunchbox for the best Crab Roll! Always friendly and consistent with the amount of crab on the rolls. read more
