She said they have a gluten-free bun, but the lobster roll on a gluten-free bun would be more bun than lobster. She tried to talk me into the $58 lobster roll but I can't rationalize a $58 lobster roll. Instead, I ordered a lobster salad - a lobster roll on a lettuce leaf with tomato for $30. The lobster was mediocre, and it was not a full lobster. There was no tail. Only two claws and some knuckles. Cole slaw was good. I got soft serve twist ice cream and a pup cup to go. I Both were good. I was going to get hard ice cream but the counter girl didn't seem to know which ice creams were GF, so I opted for soft serve instead. The outdoor seating is good. Clean and I appreciate that I was able to dine with my dog on a leash. Overall, Carrier's Mainely Lobster was mediocre. If it was my first time, trying lobster, I don't know that I would try lobster again. You're better off going to Young's Lobster Pound in Belfast.

Rating: 4.3 Came to…read moretry this local restaurant for lunch as we were passing by the area from acadia. It's a small local sandwich/soup place. They have small parking space on the side of the brick building. Inside is a small space but has some seats, tables and counter to place your order. They do have outside seatings as well. The person running the front which i assume was the owner was very nice and attentive. We got the brick buoy, the bricklayer's catch, lobster bisque and the holy donut. The brick buoy was a toast with lobster salad on it. It was small portion but was tasty. The bricklayer's catch was like grilled cheese with some lobster meat. It was good but i feel like it could have been elevated if there were with mixed cheese like smoked Gouda and mozzarella or some more addition like onions, peppers and mushrooms and such. The lobster bisque was creamy, flavorful with hint of bitterness. You also get a toast to dip with which pairs well with soup. Would have liked some veggies or lobster meat in it but for the price it was still good. Service was excellent. The workers were very nice and attentive. I can tell that they really care about the place and even have a sign on the table to let them know about any complaints to make it right for the customers. Overall the place was good and it's nice to see local restaurant that cares about what they do and how they treat their customers. Only thing is that they still have some room to improve regarding to their food offerings. However i know that it's a newer place and who knows, their other menu may have been better. Either way I hope that they continue to provide excellent service and strive for polishing their menu.

Three salads (burrata and ahi) were delicious and so pleasing to the eye in their presentation. Some pretty serious knife skills for the salad chef! Steak, fish and chips and a wrap served the rest of this, and it all was good as plates were clean when done! Truffle fries for an appetizer and many raved about the dipping sauce too! The checkout out front easily accommodated 4 separate checks too! Highly recommend ~ an extensive menu, great staff and good ambiance!

The crispy outside gives an initial flavor of an eggroll but then it lets the breakfast mix inside take over. Every ingredient in the inside complements each other. Breakfast platter was also good with tasty sausages but not comparable to the burrito. Seating is on a porch area behind and around the country store, so you just go through the front and wait to be seated by the cooking area where they have the menus on a table. It can be a bit confusing. Oh, and diner style, when you are done you pay at the front register. Very nice find!

Lunch He ordered: Sesame Tuna* Seured rare, ginger soy, seaweed salad, spicy mayo He said it was very nicely cooked and a nice tuna steak. Lots of Spicy mayo and the vegetables were crisp. I ordered: Fra Diavolo Mussels.. Garlic, shallots, tomatoes, spicy marinara, crostini Add linguini So good. This one is spicy! I am a fan of spicy, but not super spicy. This was a good warm spicy. Mussels were smaller but had good flavor. The linguini had soaked up the sauce/broth. Perfect. For Dinner He had the twin lobster dinner. He said he was glad he had both 2 1.5 lb lobsters, he was hungry. I ordered the seafood risotto I should've ordered the Mussels again. The risotto was very thick and rich. I felt like the overwhelming flavor was butter. I am not a big "butter" fan and I felt like it had no other flavors. There were 3 nice scallops & 3 big shrimp. They were tasty. We also tried the lobster Rangoon. They had nice flavor inside, but the extorted were a little over friend. That kind of took over the flavor of the inside. We didn't wait long for tables. We asked for first available for a walk in for dinner. Service was good both times we are here. Very sweet girls.

We don't eat fried food very often, but this was definitely a great time to make an exception. My wife and I each chose different options on the Half & Half Seafood Dinner and shared our meals so we could enjoy a wider variety of seafood. We started with a fresh salad and homemade dinner rolls, and our entrées arrived shortly after we finished. The fried scallops were outstanding--probably the best I've ever had. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, the clams were incredibly fresh and tender, and the calamari was also very tender, although I personally would have preferred the breading to be a little crispier. The portions were generous. There was so much seafood that we barely touched our fries and still couldn't finish everything on our plates. The prices were among the best we've found on this trip, and the service was excellent from start to finish. We left full, happy, and looking forward to coming back again.
