Top 5 Lobster Rolls in Portland

  1. 1

    Eventide Oyster Co.

    Old Port

    The category-redefining brown-butter lobster roll on a steamed, bao-style split-top bun — the Press Herald calls it an institution and Yankee/New England Today credits it with changing the lobster-roll game. James Beard Best New Restaurant 2014.

  2. 2

    The Highroller Lobster Co.

    Old Port

    The Maine Mag's headline Portland pick — daily-baked brioche with sauces from butter to lime to jalapeño mayo to lobster ghee, plus a cult lobster grilled cheese. The Press Herald gives the brick-and-mortar a strong review after the food-cart days.

  3. 3

    Bite into Maine

    Riverton

    Karl and Sarah Sutton's food truck parked at the Allagash tasting room — The Maine Mag and the Press Herald both flag the Maine (mayo, chives), Connecticut (warm butter), and Picnic (coleslaw, celery salt) styles as a state-of-the-state sampler.

  4. 4

    Luke's Lobster Portland Pier

    Old Port

    The Maine Mag's waterfront pick — quarter-pound portions with mayo and lemon butter on a working pier with views of the lobstermen unloading the catch.

  5. 5

    Portland Lobster Company

    Old Port

    Chandler's Wharf classic — The Maine Mag describes the roll as 'robust, sweet, and buttery' with locally sourced tail and claw, mayo, lemon, and romaine, best eaten waterside with live music in the deck.
