Surprise get together with family. My brother came in from Hawaii and was wanting to go to Maine…read morefor Lobster, there was no time to travel to Maine from South Carolina. I contacted my daughter Sarah who lives in Hallowell and she gave me this stores information. We couldn't get to Maine for lobster so we had Maine lobster come to us! The guys were very helpful and professional, helped me decide what I needed and gave info about the shipping process. We ordered 10 lobster. We made lobster and a seafood boil. Let me tell you the lobster was amazing! I would absolutely do business with them again! That was another check off our bucket list. Thank you so much. Perfect start to our get family together!

UPDATE: 3 weeks ago I was contacted by Hallowell Seafood regarding this review via text message…read more I responded and simply stated, "if you want to make it right, simply send me a check." I provided my address. No check ever arrived. ORIGINAL REVIEW: We had been searching for someone who sells Tourtière (French Canadian Meat Pie) and found that this place allegedly did. We bought 2 but found out when we got home that it was not Tourtière Pie. They sold me something that looked brain matter grey with bits of darker grey and orange chunks. Absolutely disgusting. I went back the next day to return them. When I tried to inform the kid behind the counter, he became argumentative and defensive stating that that is Tourtiere Pie and that is what it's supposed to look like. He questioned where I was from, I informed him that I grew up in Maine and have eaten it thousands of times. This is not what I wanted and paid for. I wanted my money back...that's all. Still wanted to argue.. telling me to take it up with the people who bake the pies for them...that's the pie he grew up eating. I asked him to google images so that he could show me one that looked grey and contained orange "meat." It is not out there. He eventually stopped arguing and went to the register and clicked a few buttons seemingly to reimburse my debit card. The funds never were returned according to my bank records. As a final note...as I was leaving, I witnessed him put the pies back in the sales cooler.

My wife and I have driven by this location on many occasions during our travels to the various…read morebusinesses in Augusta. We always wanted to try and it and one day we decided to. Parking is ample, but it's not clear from the outside that there is no place to sit inside to enjoy their food. It's a walk-in take-out only. They have a large selection of wine and locally brewed beers and a small menu with approximately 14-20 items on. Staff is young and friendly. There is no kitchen, but a small prep area with electric griddles. My wife ordered the lobster roll, which they were willing to swap the brioche hot dog bun for sour dough sliced bread. They carefully weigh out their lobster and lightly dress it with mayo prior to putting on the bread. My wife enjoyed it, but said it's not a lobster roll she would ever get from them again. I had the crab role which had plenty of shredded crab meat, but very light on the mayo and I felt underwhelmed. The place was worth trying, but not something I would go out of my way to purchase from again. You do get a bag of chips with your meal so there is a positive note.

This is a new FAVORITE!!!!!!! I was surprised there's actually room for sit down dining as that was one of the reasons we didn't stop in to be honest. So for anyone wondering. Yes come sit! The prices are wonderful. The portions are HUGE! I ate some, and had enough for dinner the next night. They have a chicken was the best fried chicken pieces that I have ever had! It was cut how perfectly I would in my own home, super tender and the breading was SOOOOO good! The flavor has me craving it right now They have a ton of options for everyone, and a whole cooler of drink choices They're active on social media, and post specials daily, so watch there! Always some yummy surprises

I ordered the seafood casserole and my wife chose some type of stuffed fish. Before the food arrived we noticed a few gnats buzzing the table. No big deal, we thought we would kill them. Unfortunately, we were sitting near a large potted plant. Looking more closely, we noticed glue paper on a post with tons of gnats - clearly a problem the restaurant knew about. In fact, the proprietor came to our table and said he noticed us swatting away the gnats, and that he was sorry, but they "just put the plant there, and thought they had purchased soil that was clean". Come on, you're running a restaurant and should never make excuses for cleanliness! The food arrived. The casserole seemed like it wasn't fresh, masked by being microwaved to 400F. About half way in, I pulled a strand of hair out of a clump of casserole.... It can happen, but combined with the gnats and overall lack of cleanliness, it's too much. As we sat there, maybe it was just that day or time, but the thought for me was that the best days of the restaurant were in the past. The eclectic decor was dated and had many surfaces (eg picture frames) needing a wipe down to remove dust. I honestly feel bad to leave this review, as the owners are real people just trying to make it. That said, I hope they can step it up. It is a promising location, and there is little else in the area.

What are they famous for you ask? Well, seafood...of course. Specifically, the lobster roll. My boyfriend loves the lobster roll! I had the popcorn chicken basket with crinkle fries that I could eat everyday if given the choice. The seasoning and breading are just right & fried until golden brown without sacrificing safe cooking or flavor. Another one of those busy places-it's a restaurant that attracts locals and tourists. They've always got inspirational quotes on their marquee. Outdoor patio seating (tables with umbrellas) and a no-frills, basic interior decor. Gives total seaside vibes.

LoL The manager said, well, your going to do this now because clearly it's our error. Well, someone coming in for the shift stepped up and did it, no questions asked. She needs a raise!
