A solid spot at a reasonable price point!…read more You have a wide variety to choose from, from fried seafood and rolls to a full lobster dinner, all at a decent price with huge portions. For the lobster roll, you can choose between hot with butter or cold with mayo. My go-to is always hot with butter. They give you butter on the side, so you can pour as much as you want. For the fried foods, you can choose between crumble or batter. I recommend the crumble, it holds its crunch much better and doesn't get soggy as quickly. Lobster stew: Not my favorite. It was a little thin and lacking in flavor, but there was plenty of lobster. Clam chowder: I love the taste and consistency, but they put SO. MANY. POTATOES in it . It's honestly like diced potatoes with some soup and clam mixed in. Still good and reasonably priced, though! Lobster dinner: $44 for two lobsters, which I think is pretty fair. They're soft-shell lobsters, and the meat was sweet and firm. It comes with fries, coleslaw, and a spear of pickle. I also love that they have plenty of seating both inside and outside, plus a bathroom available outside. You go up to the counter to order, which I personally love. It's efficient and convenient, no waiting around for someone to take your order. Tip: Tartar sauce and cocktail sauce are FREE! Just ask for them at the counter.

Great food and service. 7 people in our party, all meals were delicious! Highly recommend The Local.read more

Check their website for specials. $1 oysters are a hit. And the prime rib night brings them in. (Not for me). They have a great menu and though there is a bit of a wait for the food, the over all experience is worth it. My dad loves it so it is our weekly night out. Parking can be limited near by but there is street parking around. Read the signs. They also have a full bar to sit and watch a game. Can't wait to see what the expansion will be.

Ordered the catfish Po'boy and onion rings (because I finally realized that lobster just isn't my thing) and it was truly amazing. My server was fantastic and easily the friendliest person I met on my trip to Maine. I would recommend this place to anyone in the Portland area looking to have some great seafood with personable service and maybe get your hands dirty a little bit.

Yesterday was the first visit here for my family and me and I think likely our last. I will firstly…read moresay that some of my party had very high expectations because they love New Orleans so much. For them it definitely did not compare and was just okay. I will say it is a tough comparison. It is a large restaurant with plenty of tables/booths and does have some decor to give you seafood and Cajun vibes while also feeling like a chain restaurant. Staff was friendly enough with no huge complaints, getting a water did take awhile when my wife asked for one. They do have a large menu and especially a large amount of options for seafood eaters. I had fried catfish which was solid overall while my wife had a chicken po' boy. She was disappointed and would prefer getting a po' boy elsewhere. Overall if you wanted some Cajun seafood or a seafood boil this could be the spot for you. If you are looking for this style specifically it may be your best option if you didn't want to go closer to NOLA. If you want seafood in general I think you can do better. I have had much worse food and experiences but don't see a reason to return again.

This is my favorite style of fish and chips. I asked for…read morethe fish to be extra crispy, and they sure delivered. I wanted to be able to hear the crunch from across the room. They could be a little more heavy handed on the chips. I think a great idea would be for them to have a dessert where they put hush puppies with their ice cream and maybe a caramel/flaky salt on top!! I love places where you can order and go sit down. Overall, would come again, if we didn't have to drive 13 hours to come back!

They just moved their location so make sure you double check before coming. Plenty of cover seatings and a cute little restroom in a trailer.

It's fantastic. I also love their smoked Arctic char pâté with hot honey, smoked salmon pâté, and smoked rainbow trout pâté.

The people working there are hard-working, polite, and friendly gentlemen. Jim, the owner, is an absolute star. He's genuine and kind. I love Pinetree Seafood and Produce, and I'm forever hooked!

The smoked haddock chowder should be the main attraction for this place, it was seriously really legit. The lobster wasn't quite our style; the lobster was super cold and I believe had the slightest bit of mayo to the point it wasn't really even enough mayo to even know it was there. I don't mind the philosophy of letting the lobster shine, but lobster needs a bit of salt or SOMETHING to make its flavor pop. If you like Maine style then you might like this but if you favor Connecticut style then you might not prefer how this is made.
