EpicuriousAugust 3, 2014The fresh lobster meat has a slight buttery glaze and is nestled into a toasted and buttered bun. The accompanying fries are crispy and just too delicious to pass up. Read more
Andrew CSeptember 23, 2016Walk up, order lobster and eat!!! During nice weather times, the dock is perfect, quite spacious with plenty of seating!! Lobster mac n cheese was super crispy and delicious - big pieces of lobster!!!
K MukaAugust 13, 2015Make sure you order first then ask for a table outside! While you wait check for a high top by the music! It's a little loud out there. Great Maine lobster!
jennifer jeffries cookJuly 15, 2016not a bad thing on the menu. love love love the lobster roll of course. even in the middle of the week, you get live music to dine by.
Dan EAugust 29, 2018Wildly delicious lobster rolls. Order at the counter, grab a pitcher of beer from the bar, and find some space on the deck. Or check in with the hostess to get a seat at the picnic tables
Anand DhanasekharanJanuary 27, 2018I don’t think you can go wrong with lobsters in Maine. Yummy food and great view of the ocean
Greg GSeptember 8, 2014Good lobster roll (comes with fries too, which seems to be rare around here) Corn on the cob very good. Great view. Local beers. And reasonably priced.
Ashlee WebsterJuly 19, 2015Giant portions of awesome food! Not a long wait, and plenty of tables outside to enjoy the view from! The staff are all very friendly too!
Cass GrimmSeptember 30, 2017I ordered the small chowder poutine which I was told was just an appetizer size but it was huge!!! It was delicious though. And good local beer selection too, plus live music.
What a great place for a Lobster Roll - Cold beer - live music and good view. I wish they were open year round!
Darius KalinauskasMay 27, 2018Really great food and local atmosphere. Order inside and then just wait to be seated, you can grab your drinks while you do that :)
Jen ShinJune 30, 2015just your standard lobster roll here with melted butter on the side. still delicious & the fried scallops are a must!
Urban OysterJuly 18, 2011Great lobster rolls (not too much added, so you get the full lobster flavor), good beer, and a great place to hang out outside on a sunny afternoon. A highlight of our trip to Portland!
KT Nelson-HartJune 28, 2015Ridiculously good lobster roll! Get there early because there was a wait, but worth it (plus drinks on the pier while waiting? Yes, please!)
Lauren IanuziAugust 19, 2013live music, drinks, and fresh seafood on the water - you can't ask for much more. everyone said to try the lobster roll - so glad I did! it was outrageously good!!
Mike SeilbackJune 17, 2014Drove over an hour to try the lobster roll. Would drive 2+ hours if in the area in the future. Amazing food, all chunky lobster meat in the lobster roll!
JosephineOctober 28, 2013Try to sit in outdoors tent in the middle between the heat lanterns, so you can enjoy your meal in cozy warmth next to the live band playing!
Great atmosphere! The lobster rolls and lobster dinners are delicious and fun to eat while listening to the live music
dawn.in.newyorkJanuary 28, 2015Nice location to stop by and have a quick and delish lobster roll lunch for tourists.
*iVy DelizJune 28, 2015Waterfront lobster roll with a beer, listening to live music during sunset. Was a fantastic time! Best one I've had!
GayngoodJuly 2, 2018Exactly what you want when in Maine: firehouse red lobsters with cafeteria trays to match. Get the clam chowder, skip the lobster stew
Liz MackJuly 27, 2017So my 1 1/4 lb lobster was definitely under 1 lb.... not thrilled by that. Fun live music. How they have 2 bathrooms (1 for each gender) is beyond me- HUGE lines 😢
jen fortiniMay 6, 2013Get the lobster meal for the total Maine experience. fresh lobster, cole slaw, corn on the cob and fries. $17.99 and more filling than the lobster roll!
Katie MillerSeptember 13, 2011Amazing fresh lobster that you can eat right on a pier and listen to live music. You order your food from the bar and then pick it up after your plastic lobster lights up.
The Betty SchultzAugust 16, 2016Great, easy food in a fun, waterfront shack. Nicely priced for what you get. Lobster rolls were great.
Anthony NicholsAugust 11, 2017Great vibe, friendly atmosphere on water with good staff. Nice place to have a beer and listen to live music. Food was very basic. Portion sizes were okay prices okay. But not a ton of flavor
Thana DickensOctober 2, 2019Lobster rolls are a must. The beer selection is good and the fries are perfectly crispy.
Meg SheaSeptember 1, 2014One of my favorite outdoor seating areas in Portland. Love the food, the music, and the overall atmosphere.
Kate RumeryOctober 3, 2012Wow, the seafood, the view, the staff ... Too bad they are not open year round. Some the best in Portland for food, entertainment and great down time
Tino BoehmSeptember 4, 2018Good place for Seafood... interesting way to order and get a seat... Food was great. Had Lobster and Fish filet...
Melissa EncarnacionJune 30, 2014Sign in first. Order food 5 minutes after that way you are guaranteed a seat once u get ur food. Awesome view and lobster feast!
Mikey NeffJuly 1, 2019Wait time was much quicker than expected, there was also a live band! The lobster roll was tasty.
- Cam BMarch 19, 2017Quite busy in the summer and hard to find a comfortable place to sit. I got a lobster roll that was so tiny!
- Caroline ChungAugust 1, 2014Great place to listen to a local band play and enjoy Maine's famous lobsters!
jessica jaworskiSeptember 5, 2014The Maine shrimp wrap was yummy and I loved the corn on the cob! Plus they have the best buzzers. :)- EpicuriousNovember 17, 2010Not all lobster rolls are created equal, but this one has fresh lobster meat with a slight buttery glaze and is nestled into a toasted and buttered bun with just the right amount of mayo.
Find. Eat. Drink.December 4, 2011Recommended by local chef Erik Desjarlais: "They have an outdoor deck right on the water, freezing cold beers, and a lobster roll worthy of a James Beard award."
Jeff ENovember 3, 2014Great food, we lucked out but it can get crowded, quickly. But definitely worth it.- Jose Luis MezaSeptember 9, 2022Amazing place for dinner!!! Lobsta, corn and baked potato. Viva Torreón!
Jeremy KrantzMay 8, 2014Great spot to drink a cold beer while staring at the ocean. They also have live music
Haddock sandwich, French fries, and a lemonade are perfect on a summer night in Portland.
Rebecca MoiJuly 5, 2012The tip from Epicurious is erroneous; the lobster roll here is dressed only with a drizzle of butter, no mayo at all. In any case: DELICIOUS!!! :)
Steph SchneiderAugust 29, 2017Good food and okay prices given its touristy. Sometimes live music and on the water is nice.
Michael MosesJuly 4, 2011Live music, perfectly cooked seafood, and delicious Maine beers on the deck... What is not to love about this place. Read more

"Good local beer. We always stop here when we're in Portland. They have a mug club if you're a local and I am partial to the copper bar top as far as aesthetics go."
Adelyn - 9.0
"Perhaps the best beer bar in Maine (which says a lot!). Tap-list is unreal - so well balanced between quality locals and obscure, though well curated, imports."
