And they have the displays to match. On this partly cloudy afternoon, I was in search of lobster tails. Upon requesting them, I discovered two things.. 1.) Unfortunately, the tails offered are not very big. Near as I can figure, they come in packs of 3 of what appear to be around 5 ounces each. 2.) Lobster really IS more affordable if you buy it in Maine. For context, a standard two pack of lobster tails at 5 ounces each (or sometimes 4oz) costs me around $25 in NH at the time of writing this review. The 3 pack of the same size tails costs the same price here at Taylor. So, naturally I bought two of those and ultimately nabbed a little under 2 pounds of lobstah for a mere $50. Sufficed to say - we will most certainly return at a future date. I have my eyes set on the fresh lobster meat next. As mentioned, everything in the glass display looked delicious. The place is easy enough to find. Just be aware their entrance is actually not in the front of the building, but on the right hand side. It's a little confusing at first, especially considering the tiny street view sign doesn't help much. If you drive into the "boat drop off" section, you're on the wrong side. Other items I wouldn't mind trying next visit are their lobster bisque and clam chowder. If you're coming across the border as I do, one pro tip I'd offer is to bring a cooler to keep your produce in for the day as you travel back. We transported the lobstah back in my car on an 85 degree day and the gel ice packs kept everything cold enough not to oxidize. Definitely check this place out for all your fresh seafood needs. The locals have spoken and I agree; Taylor Lobster Company is worth 5 fresh, buttery lobstah tails charred on the grill out of 5.

Our server was really nice and was attentive despite it being fairly busy!

Rating: 4.7 Came to…read morestop by on the way back from northern Maine. It's a local seafood market located by the bridge at york, ME. They have live lobsters and other seafood as well. They serve various size of lobsters as well as cook them for you. However they do not provide place to eat or utensils so they function more as a market than a restaurant. They have sort of a parking lot where you can park. There are few works on the back hanging around and 2 younger staff that take care of orders. Lobster has quite few size options and some explanations for terms they use. We weren't sure what to get but figure we wanted larger size lobsters. SLX which is the largest ones were $14 per pound. They can also let you pick them live as well but we chose 2 lb ones. They charge $1.5 to boil but it's a-lot of work to boil properly so it's worth it. We waited about 20-25minutes or so and they also chilled it so that we can take it home to eat. Luckily we had ice box with some ice packs so it kept the lobster fresh until getting home. Once we got home we opened the bag to eat the lobster. It's a huge lobster with large claws. We got a large bowl and separate plate to eat. It was a massive task to crack the claws as one of the claw was huge and very tough. We ended up using a hammer and dull knife to crack them open. The meat was tender and sweet. One of the best maine lobster we had. Overall the place provides fresh maine lobster for good price. Only issue is that they don't serve it so you will need to plan to take it home and have tools to crack them open. They also only take cash. If i were to come back i would give them a call a head of time to have the lobster prepared to go and pick them up which seems to be what other people were doing.

Every year when we come to visit we plan our trip around eating here. This visit we didn't realize they closed at 7, and we were coming from Portland (about 45 min away).

The food was as always incredible, the staff were incredible, the overall experience was incredible. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Do not skip State Line on your next visit

I had the fish and chips, and was very impressed. The fish was soft and flaky, with a lighter batter that added crispiness without weighing everything down. The fries (chips?) were delicious, seasoned nicely and prepared the way I like. The dish definitely did justice to British pub fare. Service was excellent, everyone was friendly and competent. Even though we arrived about an hour before closing, they were still on their game. The restaurant has beautiful views out onto the water, but we were inside; the sister restaurant downstairs is probably the better option for outdoor seating and scenic views. But for seafood, Surf is a solid choice!

The ambience is quite brilliant. That dozens of picnic tables are long lined up on a pier over an inlet where the ocean tide runs far in and out. The restaurant is known for its lobster, clams, oysters, mussels, chowder, and side dishes. One of us got fish and chips. Two of us each had a dozen oysters. One got a mussels. We got corn on the cob, coleslaw, and fries as side dishes. when we arrived, the tide had just started moving out down the river. By the time we were done eating, the tide was a good 4 feet lower, and that was fun to watch. most of the order takers and servers appear to be high school and college aged. Their moods or light and cheery. The food was all excellent. The price is were reasonable, for example, each medium sized shocked oyster was two dollars on the half shell come on a bed of ice. Really, the only issue we had was that our side dishes were not delivered to our table until we reminded one of the servers. And that was no big deal. One of the great things about this place is that BYOB is encouraged, and many people brought a small cooler of beer or chilled wine. We brought plenty of local beers and a couple of cans of premixed cocktails. We all agreed that the experience was pretty amazing personally because none of us really knew how to crack open a lobster properly and get all of the meat, so we watched other local people go through their lobster routine. This is not a dress up kind of place. It was more of a wonderful hole in the wall. I would go back again in a heartbeat.

The watermelon and chips were good sides for the Maine style lobster roll. The 2 homemade sweet Maine spice cookies were soft and chewy.
