    No longer the bargain I reviewed. One lobster roll, one crab roll, French fries (from freezer to fryer - tasteless), and two soft drinks for $60 pre-tip?

    Hot lobstah roll.  Fresh cole slaw and crinkle fries.

    Bottom Line: Super friendly service, excellent lobster rolls and satisfying sides. My husband and I stopped at this super cute food truck shortly after landing at PWM. After dealing with many hours of canceled flights, delayed flights and other airport nonsense the only thing that could make the day right was a friendly greeting from the team at The Ocean Roll and an incredibly delicious lunch. My husband got the cold roll and I got the hot. We shared a side of crinkle fries and washed it all down with a fountain Diet Pepsi and iced tea. Both rolls were very good. The hot lobster roll was richer with the butter drizzle whereas the cold lobster roll was more refreshing. The cold lobster roll was served with some lettuce underneath it and chopped celery on top. It was lightly dressed in mayo. Both rolls were served on buttered split top buns. A nice surprise was how good the side of Cole slaw was! I can be fussy with coleslaw but I thought The Ocean Roll's was perfect - not too mayonnaise-y and not too sweet. The crinkle fries were average but I'm not a big fan of crinkle fries anyway. Service was friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. Our food came up quickly and we enjoyed sitting in the warm sun at a clean picnic table for two. Parking was easy and this was an awesome experience.

    Very yummy! I was looking to enjoy a lobster roll for a reasonable price and this was the best spot! I got the hot butter lobster roll and my hubby got the hot dog with homemade relish! We were very pleased!

    We stumbled in this truck in the way home from Kennebunk and we were ravenous, but had dinner plans in two hours. We split a hamburger and fries. It was $15, which I thought was steep. The girl taking our order was sick, you could hear that her sinuses were all clogged up, and it made me second-ideas if we should be eating there. The food took about 20 mins, and when it came out it was good. Nothing to write home about - just a pricey burger and fries (crinkle fries!). Nothing bad, but nothing truly noteworthy.

    bangin lobster rolls and todays soup of the day was lobster bisque - absolutely divine!! 10/10 would recommend

    Absolute banger. Great lobster rolls with awesome portions. We got the twin hot lobster rolls ($35). Coleslaw was really good. The star of the show was the lobster bisque ($9). It was their soup or the day, but was so good I hope they bring it back as a daily soup. Great stop for a quick bite, and they even have a bathroom out back! Heads up, they are cash only.

    Wow! Everything is so so good! The lobster roll was stuffed with lobster and the clam cakes?!? First time having one and absolutely incredible! Wonderful food.

    Came back again the next day, the lobster roll literally may have been the most perfect one I've ever had -- and for a great price. Bring cash, they don't take cards!

    Lobster Roll with hot butter

    We are picky lobster roll people. These were one of our absolute FAVORITES!! They had both cold and hot, buttered and Mayo, and no additional items in the roll. Incredible!! The people were pretty darn awesome as well. They added to our enjoyment and experience as well!

    Best lobster rolls we've ever had. Fried haddock and fried clams are delicious. We stop here every time we are in the area.

    Terrible customer service, and not great food. Overrated. And the bathroom is broken.

    Amazing amount of lobster meat in a roll. It's a food truck so it's less expensive than a restaurant. Good value for quality food.

    My wife and I come here on special occasions like birthdays, Valentine's Day, etc. Our recent visit…read moreon my wife's birthday was no exception. We started the evening with cocktails which were very much to our liking, followed by a delicious appetizer of lobster risotto that we shared. We both ordered the short ribs which were mouthwatering and cooked to perfection that the meat fell off the bone. The servings were enough where we took the bones and whatever meat was left to make a delicious beef soup. Neither one of us were up for dessert but decided to get two to go, which we downed once we got home. And they were both delicious. In closing, I'd be remiss without saying a good word about our server Keila. She was warm, friendly, funny, and very attentive to our table. She made our night to enjoyable! Thanks you Keila ! We look forward to our next visit to The Village Inn soon.

    For years, Village Tavern was my favorite restaurant in Southern Maine. That's what makes this…read morereview so difficult to write. If you loved Village Tavern under the previous owners, you should know that the beloved restaurant you remember no longer exists. The name is the same. The esthetic is the same. Some menu items even have the same names. But the experience is not. During our visit, the calamari, salmon, duck, and haddock were all cooked properly, yet each dish was surprisingly bland and forgettable. Many longtime favorites, including the wide selection of side dishes like the broccoli with blue cheese, are gone. This isn't a bad restaurant on its own merits. The problem is that it's trading on the reputation of something that no longer exists. What I find most puzzling is that the new owners kept the Village Tavern name while abandoning so much of what made it successful. When a restaurant has earned decades of loyalty, you would expect new ownership to preserve its strengths. Instead, it feels like they discarded the very things that built its reputation. I left disappointed, but mostly sad. A restaurant I once considered one of the best in Southern Maine is now simply pedestrian and overly priced. Former fans should adjust their expectations accordingly or avoid the disappointment altogether.

    Village Tavern - The money shot... There's often a bit of a wait for tables, but you can grab a spot at the bar for more casual dining.
