Really deserving of it's 5 star rating. I mean lobster is good anywhere on the coast, but everything on the menu of State Line is top tier. We ate: - Korean lobster tacos - Haddock Chowder - Fried Haddock - Hot Honey Brussel Sprouts read more

Our family enjoyed lobster rolls and fried haddock during a July 2026 visit to Maine. It's right over the NH border in Kittery and is worth the short drive just past the outlets. We were traveling with our miniature poodle and appreciated the picnic tables in the open, grassy area on the back side of the cozy restaurant. Service was outstanding - I picked up a restaurant buzzer after placing our family's order and paying at the front register. If you're visiting Maine, this is a great place to experience lobster rolls or fried haddock in Kittery! Afterwards, it's a short drive to York, ME where you visit the Nubble Lighthouse. read more

Great service - I asked for no bun for my lobster roll, and the cashier suggested a lettuce wrap. The lettuce wrap was a very generous (no one leaf wrap here!) and the lobster was buttery and perfect. Our order came quickly. Don't sleep on the french fries, they were great! read more

Stopped by to get a to-go order of lobster and artichoke dip. The owner, Jason, introduced himself to me and we chatted. Super friendly guy! The restaurant is a good size, there is ample parking and it has a cozy atmosphere. Took my order home and I was not disappointed. Nice chunks of lobster mixed with artichoke and some wonderful cheese. The tortilla chips were bite size and perfect - homemade, to boot! Absolutely delicious - I will definitely be going back! read more

This was the best lobster roll on my trip to Maine. It was close to my hotel and delicious. The service was quick and the brought the food to my seat on their patio. They add old bay to their fries and lobster rolls. It was buttery and wonderful. It was a nice day so I sat outside this was a great place and wonderful first lobster roll of the trip. read more

Food was fresh and well cooked but some key details got in the way of a better experience. First - let's talk about seasoning. Old Bay is fine but it was sprinkled on everything we ordered - the clam chowder, the French fries, the fish, the sandwich. This made everything taste similar and it covered up the freshness of the seafood. The chowder was nice and thin but the potatoes were not cooked all the way and there was but one clam in the entire bowl. Fish sandwich and fish and chips were well cooked and very fresh. The tartar sauce was full of fresh dill. No cole slaw served with either option was a disappointment. State Line is a welcome addition especially as New England Fishmongers recently closed in Kittery. read more

the price of seafood is astronomical these days so you better be sure you are going to get a good meal. This was our first time at State Line Lobster and it's going on my For Sure List. The staff was very friendly and helpful and interestingly the other patrons were also very cheerful and friendly. today is the day before the July 4 weekend and it's 94 degrees but State Line encouraged everyone to be calm and relaxed. All that and great food. read more

This was my favorite meal over my ten day tour of the Northeast coast! No doubt, nothing else held a candle to it. We had a fancy pants dinner in Cambridge, we had a Yelp Top 100 pizza in Boston, as well as The Bostonian and Tin Pier in Tea-Town as well. I waited in line for Red's for two hours based on multiple recommendations and nothing we got there was even a portion of how tremendous this place was. There were a couple places in New Hampshire that got pretty close, but overall this was the best. From the funny ass unsweet tea jar to the clam strips, everything was delightful! The clam chowder was good. It was topped with Old Bay seasoning that makes for a different kind of flavor. It's was noticeably thin though, buts still tasty nonetheless. The lobster roll was perfect. Warm, buttery, well seasoned, with a perfectly toasted spit top bun. I am not sure what was up with all of the pickles on the side, but at least they did not taint my roll with their nasty juices. C's clam strips were the best that I have ever had. She orders them a lot and they are always little trash strips out of a frozen food bag. Not here man! These things were freshly sliced clams! The homemade French fries were just the icing on the cake. All in all, superb meal! I wish that I lived closer so I could partake in the lobster roll once a week man. It's sooooo good!! I would bet what you order will be good too! Message me and let me know if you like it! I need a reason to get back!! '25 - 113/111 read more

Do yourself a favor and drive another 1.5 miles north on Route 1 and stop here. This is the quintessential Maine Lobstah Roll, trust me, I am a native. Walk-in, place your order, and hang out. If it is warm enough, try some of the outdoor seating. Wicked Good! read more

The food was amazing. Above average. I honestly loved the haddock chowder and the Crispy Haddock and chips was so yummy. I am gluten free and best meal I have had out in a very long time. Seasoned unbelievable. My husband had the Lobster Mac and cheese and he said it was fantastic. The service was also very good. Explained what was GF and what was not and why. Pleasant and very helpful. Very cute interior. Small but relaxing. read more

You're looking at the 4.9 stars and thinking how can that really be. Well it can. Everything was delicious. The chowder was on the thinner side - which I like and oh so tasty and buttery. The corn skillet was fresh and gooey and cheesy and yummy. The whole bellies - crispy and seasoned well and dipped in the homemade tartar was the perfect bite and get this - zero oil on the paper underneath them. If you're not there for the delicious lobster salad on a buttery and perfectly toasted roll and prefer salads and chicken - you will not be disappointed. Fresh tenders, seasoned so well, fresh crispy greens chopped into small bites and a refreshing citrus dressing, mmmm. The pickles - wow, I should have ordered a side just for me. I wish I snapped a picture before I started eating. Sorry about that. read more

Great food. Really fresh lobster. Lobster roll can be cold with mayo or warm with butter. This spot is especially great for people with celiac's disease because all their batter is gluten free. So get your fried clam fix with no worries about contamination. read more

We were running errands in NH and on the way back up, we stopped at State Line Lobster to get a late lunch. Out of all the lobster places, skip this one. The ratings on here must be from out of staters or something. But for the price point, I was pretty disappointed. All in was $142 for two 6oz, two fries, two shakes. The lobster rolls had decent flavor but the meat was realllly chewy (meaning it was overcooked). The fries were not good (I ate 3-4 and threw the rest out). The chocolate milkshake made with custard was decent but the maple milkshake tasted like artificial flavoring and was a complete sugar bomb - too sweet, we threw it out as well. I will say the service was very polite, kind, and positive. With so many good options, not sure I'd do this one again :( read more

Great place for lobster rolls and more! The food was delicious. We had lobster rolls two ways. They're made to order so I asked for less mayo than usual and it was perfect, lots of lobster and the bread very tasty. My husband had it with butter and it was a little too much. Maybe some people like it that way but the bread was soaked. The chips accompany the rolls well. We highly recommend the cheddar corn pie and Brussel sprouts, both were amazing! Also great was the homemade lemonade and sweet tea. The decor is nice and the place is clean and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Will definitely stop in again and again. read more

Wow! State Line surpassed all expectations for us! Jason has created the perfect seafood oasis right on Route 1 in Kittery. The menu is the right balance of traditional Maine eats along with curated modern choices that reflect the creativity and culinary depth of the owner. The location is perfect! Pop just outside the "shopping zone" and choose from a mix of yard, deck or inside seating. The vibe is welcoming and warm with Anna, Connor, and Danny all pitching in to create an atmosphere of collaborative service. We couldn't pass up the lobster rolls and chowder, but we'll be back because we have about 20 other things we need to try now! read more

Clean and cute, with a curated menu plus several specials. You almost feel like you're in someone's meticulous kitchen. Straight forward New England fare with a couple of twists. Clam chowder was excellent - thin and flavorful, with plenty of clams. Just the way we like it! That soup showed great passion and care from the kitchen - bravo! We opted for the warm buttered lobster rolls; excellent choice! Full of warm, meaty lobster on a buttery toasted bun. Fried clams were above average as well, and we actually couldn't even finish everything. Highly recommended. read more
