Flew in to visit family but wanted a good lobster roll. Thanks to some great Yelp reviews, we chose the lobster outlet. It smells so good inside. Especially for someone that loves anything seafood. Texas just doesn't cut it. We had a great couple of employees that were super friendly and explained their simple menu. We got two lobster rolls and split a bowl of clam chowder. They have some picnic tables outside if you want to eat there. Well that's what we did. These lobster rolls had huge chunks of lobster and just a toasted roll and melted butter. It was perfect! No dressing covering up that fresh lobster taste. The chowder was great as well. I wanna go back again tomorrow! read more

My husband and I stopped here for a quick lunch on our way to our hotel in Portland, Maine. We both ordered lobster rolls and I also had a cup of clam chowder. The lobster rolls had abundant meat and not a lot of condiments so you could really taste the lobster. The chowder was delicious and nicely seasoned. We ate outside, where they have picnic tables. This is not a restaurant. It is a market so they do not have table service. The staff was very friendly. read more

Ordered lobsters for 8 and they cooked them for us for $5. Lobsters were hard shell and excellent and even better since we didn't have any pot to clean! Folks were super friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Great Lobster "Outlet"! After hitting the nearby outlets in Kittery and not being able to get a table at a restaurant in the vicinity, decided to just grab some Lobster rolls here for lunch. Even though the price for the Lobster Rolls here are pricey, with a bag of chips, these were close to $30 for the large roll and a little over $16 for the smaller version, these were really great Lobster rolls. The bun was slightly toasted with just a smear of butter that complimented the lobster meat peeeerfectly. The Lobster meat was fresh, tender, and cooked just right, every bite was delicious. I'd say this is one of the best lobster rolls I've had ever! For those wishing to dive into their food ASAP, there are picnic tables outside the store. Sadly the only con being there isn't much of a view except for cars passing by on route 1. Finally, ordering ahead was easy over the phone and ready in 10 mins on a weekday. The inside of the store is super clean and spacious with lobster tanks in the rear. The live lobster prices didn't seem cheap but they did have some specials for larger lobsters and the staff seemed eager to pack some for those on the road. Now about the name of the place, the fact that it has the name "outlet" in the name is slightly off in my view. Understanding that outlet could be defined as a place where surplus goods or merchandise are discounted, it's not really a place I would think of if I wanted to eat a Lobster. It's not really next to, but it is somewhat near the Kittery outlets as well, so it's not hard to make a correlation. Now that I know it isn't really an "outlet", I'll be dropping by the next time I am in Kittery for sure. read more

Have driven by the place for years on my ride up to York and never stopped in and then one day decided to! Prices are very good for Lobsters and they have the Best Chowder around. Small place, super easy, show up order & take it all to go, however you can get the Chowder warm (well before Covid) Now post Covid, you order on the phone, pull up and call and they bring right out to the table & you take and go. The girls are super helpful & friendly any time I stop in. Seafood is always super fresh & great priced. Have been back about 10 times in the last few months since my first visit, Probably going to be my go to. They accept cards and also have Beer & Wine to go! read more

This place is truly a hidden gem for the BEST lobster roll in New England. Trust me, as a true seafood foodie, I've eaten a zillion lobster rolls in my life!

Every time I introduce someone new to this place, they agree that it's truly the best lobster roll they've ever had. Just look at the pics! read more

Best lobster rolls - and that is saying a lot since there are so many great lobster rolls in the area. This place is the best deal around.

When you think Maine - you think lobsters. Maine Lobster Outlet is where you can get fresh lobsters for the lowest prices. They have soft-shelled lobsters and hard-shelled. You can buy them live to bring home to cook yourself or have them steam it for you. There's a $3 cook charge per order, meaning, if you order like 10 lobsters they will only charge you $3 to cook all 10 of them - not $3 per lobster. There's also a prepared food tax if you choose to have them cook it for you. My only complaints are that it took 30 minutes to cook our 3 lobsters when we were the only ones in the market and they only have a few picnic tables outdoors if you choose to eat there - no indoor tables. If you are visiting Maine like I was, you can also fly home with the live lobsters as they have a way of packaging them for you so you can bring it on the plane as a carry-on. The New England clam chowder is really good. They have a small table where you can pour out your own bowl/cup. I don't even like clam chowder (I'm from the South so honestly I haven't had much exposure) but when I tasted the clam chowder here, it changed my views completely. They don't make it in house but they're not shy about disclosing that information. The clams had no grittiness to them whatsoever and the flavors were just delicious throughout. I love lobster rolls - I usually prefer the hot and buttered lobster roll VS the traditional chilled Maine lobster rolls but the traditional chilled Maine lobster rolls here are amazing! A regular roll is only $14.99 which is much cheaper than rolls I've had around the country. The lobster meat is sweet with just the right amount of mayonnaise. It's also served with a bag of Cape Cod kettle cooked potato chips. I also recommend getting a couple pounds of the steamers. If you like clams, the steamers here are really sweet, tender, fresh and super clean! read more

Went in for 2lbs of lobster meat. Only 3 tails. Mostly claws with rubbery tips. $55/lb. Next time try Southern Maine Lobster Co. they pre-portion their 1-lb containers so it's an equal distribution. Also, they're $45/lb when you buy 2 or more. read more

Clean and quaint store, with a large saltwater tank filled with lobsters. There's other seafood and fresh hot chowder you can serve yourself. Lots of cute souvenirs for adults and kids. We ordered about 25 or so lobsters to eat at the outdoor shaded picnic tables and were served these cheerfully with melted butter bowls, bibs and nutcrackers. Along with some food brought along by the family, our large group had a wonderful feast. I bought some cleaned lobster meat for home. Friendly staff, serving with a smile! read more

I've never seen STARVED lobsters but 2 of the 5 lobsters we got here tonight were decimated. We paid extra per pound for 1.5 lb lobsters and our disappointment could not have been greater. If you read this and see the attached photo, then you deserve what you get. But if you're smart heed my advice -Never get you Lobsters from a place with "Outlet" in its name -or worse yet with "Maine Lobster Outlet" in its name. read more

This place is amazing! We visited this place on 7/9 which is a Monday to take home some Maine lobsters. They had the soft shell ones on sale and we were impressed with how clean and organized their store was maintained. The people were also very polite and helpful. If you plan to take home some lobsters, bring your cooler and fill it up with the lobsters. They will be good and alive for 20 hours! read more

Avoid at all costs as of 5/7/2020, A roadside scam. Closed for 3-4 months now open and advertising Lobster on their HWY 1 sign at $5.99 a lb. Big Scam, I pulled in and $5.99 is for Culls, $6.99 for 1 lb, $7.99 for 1.25 and up and up and up, SCAM. Keep buying from the local boats at $6 to $7 a pound mixed weights and no bullshit SCAMS. Give the fishermen the money not a money grubbing impersonal business. 1 Star is 3/4 more than I would really give them. read more

So incredible! Delicious! Fascinating as well. Ok, I'm from Kentucky so we were driving by while on vacation . They were just unlocking their front door so we were the only ones there. You order inside and we took our lobster rolls outside to sit at one of many picnic tables. So good, I could just cry right now as I think of it. Also, they ship!! I'll dry my eyes and order some lobsters . read more

As a consumer who felt ripped off by businesses with a confusing price list, I have to share my experience. Maine is a beautiful place we go on vacation more than once every year for the past 12 years. Every time we come back to NY, we bring packed live lobsters for our friends. Last month we ordered two dozens packed, and since we cannot see the items during packing, we took their honesty by heart. Last time, we ordered 2 dozens (24 pieces) packed and sealed for a 6-hour trip. We found out when we arrived in NY and opened the boxes, there were only 23 pieces. This week we traveled back again. We ordered a dozen packed live lobsters in this same place #MaineLobsterOutlet in US 1, York, Maine. We did not complain about the missing lobster during our previous order. However, this time we ordered a specific size and price based on their price list. Unfortunately, we were rushing and failed to check the price. We were j der assumption that it was $6.99/lb for the size we ordered, but we realized that they charged us ridiculously overpriced of $8.99/lb. a total of $115 for 12 pieces (12.3 pounds). Was it because of labor day ? That's even more ridiculous! They claimed that they charged correctly when we called to verify. We did not push to dispute. However, I can assure them that they just lost one customer. We probably won't put a dent on their revenue. However, I'd like to make a shout out to Hannaford in Maine. The day prior, we had about a dozen of live lobsters in Hannaford. They even give us 1 extra, and they steamed it for free. The price we paid $5.77/pound. A total of $62.00 for the order. That almost less than half of what we spent at the disputed outlet. Woo hoo ... #Hannaford a one-stop-shop with super friendly service, and their ice cream is superbly delicious and not sugary sweet. So when in Maine, look for Hannaford for your lobsters. Unfortunately, they don't pack for long-distance travel. I would suggest, based on my experienced, to stay away from Maine Lobster Outlet. Go somewhere else; many places sell live and packed live lobsters in Maine. I hate to write negative feedback about local businesses, but I find it worthy of giving others a heads up of my experience. read more

No thrills wholesaler and what a wholesaler. The shop has viewing windows of the holding tanks with crates of lobster & other goodies from the sea. Dining in? Not at the time we visited. Some renovations were in progress. We did order 2 fresh lobsta rolls & chowda to go. Very tasty. If I had a kitchen where we were headed a crate would have followed me out, too! read more

The lobster roll is ALWAYS amazing and plentiful, and we make a point to stop by whenever we're going through the area.
