    Excellent! Hotel staff recommended this place and I figured when in Maine... Friendly service, picnic tables with umbrellas, catchy music, and amazing food!

    Lobster roll with fries.

    Great stop for a good cold lobster roll when you first land! We had a nice treat when we landed and before we ventured to Bar Harbor.

    Really good! Loved the amount of lobster to the price point and also the crispy thin fries served with the lobster roll. Service was quick. A few outside tables or eat in your car / take it to go.

    Wasn't sure what to expect from a food truck along a big parking lot, seemingly in the "middle of nowhere" on our road trip. Happy we went! We got the 1/2 pound lobster roll (served cold) for $56 and it came with crispy fries and coleslaw. Staff were nice and expedient, even though we arrived 15 mins prior to closing. There were picnic tables next to the food truck with umbrellas to enjoy the lobster rolls and trash cans for easy disposal. They also played some music which was nice.

    Was in town for work was told to check this place out. It's a food truck and you have to eat outside on picnic tables. Hopefully you go when it's not too warm out. My colleagues and I got there right before the lunch rush and we of course got lobster rolls. They were both quarter pound size. The chunks were huge inside the role. I highly recommend this place if you're coming into town. The shoestring fries were also very tasty. They come with the rolls. For someone not from Maine these were excellent and highly recommended. My pictures will make your mouth water.

    Don't blink or you will miss it! The Buoy is a lobster truck which sits a stone throw of 95. While the truck doesn't offer more than picnic tables the food will leave you feeling like you just dined at a five star establishment. Service is quick and staff is friendly. Menu includes sea and land options including while belly clams, crab rolls, and lobster to hot dogs and burgers. If you are looking for a true ME experience I highly recommend!

    After checking out the Cole Transportation Museum (see my review!) my wife was in the mood for some Fish and Chips. The Lobstah Buoy was nearby and got good ratings according to you Yelpers, so we gave it a go. I should have paid a little more attention about the place, as it's located in a parking lot for the Bangor FunPlex & Cinema movie theatre, and has some picnic tables set outside to eat. It's not necessarily a food truck, but a big food trailer. We parked and checked out the menu board on the ground. After a few seconds, I ordered the clam belly dinner large size (1/2 lb vs 1/4 lb) which came with fries and coleslaw. Wife had the fish and chips which also came with the same. Within a few minutes, we had our food. It was quite good. I asked for the fries to be well done and they were. Shoestring cut, and pretty crispy. The clams with bellies hit the spot. I've only had clams with bellies in Maine, and with the lemon wedge drizzled on them really made them pop. I wish we had some hot cocktail sauce. The coleslaw was mayo based and very tasty without a lot of mayo mixed in. My wife's fish and chips were also good with pieces of nicely breaded fish and the same crispy fries. I didn't ask, but we got ketchup and tartar sauce with the food. She overall said it was just fine, but this may be because we were not ready to have to sit outside on a picnic table. The two Pepsi product (boooo) sodas rounded out the meal. Overall, we were pleased with our food and service. If we were still hungry, we were going to tackle the lobster roll. Didn't have to. $50 for the fish and chips, large belly clam dinner, and two sodas. I will also say that as we ate, the number of people coming into the parking lot to buy food was nonstop, and most had Maine license plates. So if the locals like it, I bet you will, too. Always nice to support local businesses.

    Delicious lobster rolls!

    We arrived here to the very unassuming parking lot where this food truck takes residence. There are picnic tables to sit at. I love lobster, I mean it's one of my favorite foods. The day we went to eat, it was cold and very windy. I also was just so excited to eat I did not realize that their lobster roll is cold. I generally do not like cold lobster rolls. But I can tell you even in the freezing cold, while my hand froze and being a cold roll, it was the most delicious lobster roll I have had in a long time. And the amount of meat you get actually matches what the sign says. Would go back here in a second. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! Oh and I almost forgot they sell the ever tasty and famous Maine whoopie pies.

    This place is well worth stopping at. This was my husband and my 1st time in Maine. A couple of locals recommend we stop here for lunch, and we are sure glad we did. Their lobster rolls are amazing all by themselves, but add in fresh cut fries and coleslaw as well. You just can't beat it for the price.

    We stopped by here on our road trip. Among other lobster rolls we had in Maine, this one is slightly better because it is not overly drowned in mayonnaise. The fries are good, but a bit too salty for my taste. I still don't get the lettuce in the lobster roll that seems to be a thing here. Overall, a good place for lobster roll.

    It is right next to our hotel and very convenient. The lobster roll, shoe string fries and coleslaw are so delicious. There is a variety of choices in the menu. The ambience/owner is very nice!

    I'm staying down the street @ Holiday Inn & this was highly recommended by the staff. Let me just tell ya it was awesome. Every time I'm in Maine I try to sniff out a good lobster roll & this didn't let me down. The lobster was nice and juicy with just a hint of butter that wasn't overpowering and the same goes for the Mayo. The fries were actually good as well. They put in a pickle spear and slaw. They had a drink there I've never seen before called Moxie that was awesome & once I get back to Orlando I'm going to see if I can locate some. This is for sure a place that u need to check out if your in the area
