The lobster roll with butter from Mainely Seafood Company was absolutely incredible. The lobster was fresh, sweet, and packed generously into the roll, and the warm butter brought out all the flavor perfectly without overpowering it. The roll itself was soft, buttery, and toasted just right. You can really taste the quality and freshness in every bite. Easily one of the best lobster rolls I've had -- highly recommend. The guy who helped us was very friendly and they had outdoor only seating. read more

Not inedible but not very good, i.e. tourist trap. Cold lobster consisting of a lot of claw and knuckle meat, well under the promised 6oz on the $48 lobster roll. So first, at this price I want a whole lobster which means the tail should be in there. All of it. Second, drawn butter means Connecticut style, which means the lobster is warm/hot. Not cold with a solo cup of clarified butter. The bun also should not look like you twisted it after toasting it and should likewise be hot (it was toasted and cold. Also, seasoning is your friend. Making a great lobster roll takes a few minutes of effort. For $48 they apparently couldn't be bothered. Your eating in what is essentially a parking lot with picnic tables, so ambiance is what it is. Caveat emptor. read more

Best lobster roll I've ever had in my life. Friendly classic New England staff. Just what you would expect in terms of vibe, a Maine fish market that isn't the Seattle space needle, but instead a homey market with outstanding and fresh seafood! Beautiful bathroom right next door as well! read more

While in town we decided to try this place for a lobster roll to go. There were 3 sizes, 4 oz, 6oz, and 8oz. We decided to get the 6 oz to split. The price was $48. I have never been so disappointed with a lobster roll. 4 smallish claws and pieces of meat. Taste was nothing special. Prices of lobster rolls in Maine and Cape Cod are ridiculous. Considering I can go to my local Hannaford and buy a steamed lobster for $8.99-$12.99 a pound and make 2 huge lobster rolls, this place was a total rip-off. We won't be buying any lobster rolls at the going rates in Maine or the Cape anytime soon. Someone please explain to me why the pricing is out of control. read more

We stopped to get a couple of their world-famous Lobster Rolls. They were great!! Worth the drive from Florida. The last time I was in Maine, I paid $44.00 per roll at another place. These were a great value here at $34.00 per. I also tried "Maine Root" Root Beer. Excellent choices. The proprietor, Rodney, was very nice and helpful. There are tables outside with umbrellas. No seating inside. read more

I stopped here for a lobster roll after leaving the Portland Airport. It was pricey at $30 but it was excellent . I also ordered a half dozen oysters which I had to shuck myself since this is technically not a restaurant but a seafood market. The oysters were briney and delicious. They have an outdoor Dining area where you can shuck and eat your bounty. The owner and staff were very accommodating and had a great sense of humor, which means they tolerated mine. I saw a beautiful piece of swordfish but passed on buying it. I wish I would have bought a couple of dozen oysters... I highly recommend this seafood company. Yelp says my review is shorter than most but, this is a small place. read more

Move over McLoons! Beats Red's Eats! There's a new "Best Lobster Roll" in Maine! Mainly? No, positively! Positivity the best lobster roll in Maine is at Mainely Seafood Company! Great? No. Incredible? No? Fabulous! Getting close, but still no. Mainely Seafood Company is clearly, and simply THE BEST! The only question is who's number two. More pieces and bigger pieces of absolutely the most delicious lobster you'll ever eat! Pinky promise! And if the lobster wasn't why you have to (HAVE TO!) go to Mainely Seafood, their rolls alone would merit the drive! You can search all the boulangeries in France and you won't find a roll even half as good as the rolls at Mainely Seafood. It's as simple as 2 + 2 = 4. The best lobster + the best roll = the best lobster roll! Where? Mainely Seafood Company! read more

We were looking for some great lobster rolls and luckily we stumbled onto this place. The service was fantastic and the rolls were so worth it. The ambiance was like it should be, eating lobster rolls on side of a rode. read more

Clean fresh service if strong I've had good luck with all fish. Crab lobster meat. All is yummy! read more

We stumbled upon this place while we were driving around and i have to say it is a pretty nice spot. Most people coming in were picking up food to - go so there aren't any tables inside - it is really a good spot to get your fresh catch and cook at home. We visited in the summer so they had seating outside under some umbrellas but we were in the parking lot so not very fancy but it did the job. We got the lobster rolls which came with a bag of chips and cole slaw - it was on the pricey side but online with the cost of lobster when we visited. The only downside is that you have to use the bathroom in the laundromat which is next door and I found bizarre but surprisingly well maintained and super clean! Overall, a good spot to stop at if your hankering for a lobster roll on the go. read more

Had lobster roll. It was fresh and delicious!! Very convenient location. Will go there again!

The lobster roll had big chunks of fresh lobster in what seemed like Texas toast. I thought it was great. A little pricey, but it was great. Came with a pickle and cape cod potato chips. read more

We stopped by for a quick lunch at the end of our week long Maine adventure, and their food was by far our favorite stop from the entire week. Warm lobster rolls, haddock chowder, seafood chowder and warm crab rolls (we convinced them to make it warm with butter - called it the "Hayden") were all delicious and the seafood practically melted in your mouth with each bite. Service was excellent - they brought out food outside to us (only sitting area available) and even offered to change up their menu for us a bit. Very laid back, casual and friendly ambiance. Wish we lived closer to try their bulk seafood too! read more

My favorite spot when visiting my parents for fresh lobster rolls and other seafood for lunch. The selection of uncooked fish also incredibly fresh. Very friendly service. read more

The lobster roll was okay but overpriced. Only bottled water. It felt sort of like a tourist trap. The price of the lobster roll wasn't reflected in the quality or quantity of the food or the ambience. We both left disappointed that we didn't pick one of the other places with lower prices and a more pleasant ambiance. read more

Fresh doesn't even begin to express how good this place looks and is. Wild caught fish, raw shrimp, live lobsters and a wonderful place to sit outside and eat in the summer. I couldn't be more thrilled that this place is right in our neighborhood! Excellent additional ingredients like rubs, sauces, drinks, and soups/stews Are always on the menu and the husband and wife team behind the counter couldn't be nicer :-) my wife and I have been coming here for a little while to pick up some last-minute food items for dinner like fresh cuts of salmon and other fishes, but I felt compelled to write a review today since we were having some friends over and completely forgot that we had planned to have lobster. Not only did they accommodate us within an hour, but they took them for us as well. read more

Stopped by on our way out of the Freeport outlets for a lobster roll and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Friendly staff here on a busy Saturday with lots of smiles and jokes. The bread was light and airy and lovingly toasted. The lobster meat was delicate and deliciously pure, with little mayo. I would come back dozens of time if I lived nearby! Thank you Mainely Seafood for my first lobster roll in Maine! read more

Lobster rolls like they should be. Lobster very fresh, I doubt it came out of a can as it tastes fresh.

This place is a MUST VISIT! Unassuming in a small corner location just off of Main St in Freeport, it's a delightful place to get lunch, an early dinner, or grab something delicious to-go. It's also walking distance from the gigantic L.L.Bean complex where you've worked up an appetite doing all that shopping. ;) Rodney took wonderful care of us and was so generous and kind. He recommended the Crabster Roll and, whoa man, it did not disappoint! This was hands-down THE BEST lobster roll I have had from a restaurant anywhere--and I've been doing the legwork up and down the coast to make this claim! The Crabster, as you might imagine, is half crab and half lobster either side by side or mixed on a roll. As you can see by the photo, I was so busy salivating and devouring this deliciousness that I almost forgot to snap a pic and managed to come up for air just long enough to memorialize the last bites of this amazing meal. At $25ish I was a bit taken aback initially, only to find later lobster rolls can easily be $35 depending on where you are, and definitely not as good. I also got some smoked fish, smoked salmon dip, seafood chowder (OMG yes, get this too!) and lobster bisque to go and enjoyed over the next couple of days. All were made in-house and were absolutely fabulous--I would visit again! In fact, I looked forward to returning here on my way back down the coast after visiting Acadia to indulge once more but was deterred by the horrific mass shooting in Lewiston that caused a shutdown of local regions in the terrifying days that followed. So, until next time... PRO TIP: Plan for lunch or afternoon snack as they close at 6, and definitely don't sleep on the to-go items as you'll be craving more later. There is no inside seating if you plan to eat there but the parking lot patio is cute in ambient weather. (We took ours to go and ate in the RV.) If you are local or just adventurous and staying in an AirBnB with a kitchen, they have live seafood for sale too! read more

We stopped by last minute as we were leaving the outlets. I wasn't really hungry, but agreed to split a lobster roll w/ my husband. WOW! This was THE best lobster roll I've had! the buttered brioche roll, generous lobster, they knew we were sharing and gave us each a basket w/ pickle and extra butter (yes, we live in Maine, but had it "Connecticut style", with butter not mayo. They were very accommodating to do it that way) Owner was super friendly and nice, shop/storefront was clean inside and out, and again, DELICIOUS. It would be worth the 1 hour trip from southern Maine just to go for a lobster roll. read more

Stopped at the McDonald's across the street, for the grandkids. (Don't judge.) Saw Mainely Seafood across the street and impulsively decided to grab some food for the adults. SO glad we did! Small store, with fresh seafood, seafood products (e.g., crab dip) and seafood sandwich menu. We had the Crabster Rolls which came with chips and cole slaw. Perfectly dressed and seasoned crab that wasn't drowning in mayo, served on a griddled split bun. Cole slaw was also lightly dressed and yummy. Cape Cod potato chips and pickle spear completed the package. The store was squeaky clean. No old fish smell. (Fresh fish has no smell.) Live lobsters for sale. Beautiful sword fish steaks and kabobs. Shell fish, too. Prices seem fair for the high quality. read more

Everything about this place is great. The staff was very friendly and worked with me on my dietary restrictions and preferences and prepared a delicious off-menu meal for me. The menu is limited, but if you like fresh, simple, delicious and well prepared food and want it quickly, this is the place to go. There's no place to dine in, but there was a pleasant outdoor eating area. read more
