“ Wow. Great lobster rolls, great little spot at Allagash. This little food truck is serving 10/10 lobster rolls. I HAVE TO COME BACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Dog friendly, we made a little pup friend. He was hiding from his owners and waggled into our spot! So cute have cute pups around, my favorite lobster roll was enjoyed by that sneaky Bougie pup. Edit: These lobster rolls were better than "Luke's" or "High Roller", which were 2nd and 3rd respectively. I'm still dreaming about their lobster flight 3 weeks later. It might have been the Allagash beer complimenting the lobster roll, but these guys are BRILLIANT with this food truck at Allagash. ”
“ Trying a lobster roll in Maine was a must for the last year. Of course there are many restaurants offering this delicious cuisine. It was between a couple places but I decided with Bite into Maine due to the location. I flew to Maine for a day trip just to eat a delicious lobster roll with my view of a lighthouse and the beautiful water. I will definitely be back. The food AND service was exceptional. Thanks for the kind welcome! ”
“ Ordered the lobster flight! Absolutely delicious, lobster was super tender. Best rolls I have had in a long time. The picnic was my favorite of the rolls. They mayo was very balanced and light in the roll. CT roll was also delicious. We ordered the pretzel, caprese sandwich, pulled pork, potato salad and grilled cheese. Everything we ordered was delicious! ”
“ You really cannot get a better lobster roll. the atmosphere of being right next to allagash with their lights and live music and then ordering from an old trailer is fantastic! Then the lobster roll comes out and it’s phenomenal. We ordered 6 oz which of course is more expensive but soooo worth it! We had 3 large guys in our group and they didn’t feel hungry after eating this roll. Highly recommend trying a flight as well. I liked the mayo and chives for interesting flavors, the slaw/picnic one is a little too sweet with the slaw for me. Of course the original which they call Connecticut I believe is the best. Butter, some lemon, and a delicious toasted bun. You really can’t beat it. The bun itself could have a whole review for how much it adds to the overall deliciousness of the lobster roll. We also got potato salad as a side which I would recommend. It’s made with real potatoes you can see wedges in the salad and is reasonably priced. A little on the sweet side instead of mustardy but still very good. I would literally eat here everyday if I could! Alas I will resign myself to coming as often as I can! **new prices for 6 oz are 37.95 per roll ”
“ Being an out of towner, I looked at the reviews of the food truck; I quickly assumed it was rated so high because it was the only game in town at the lighthouse we were visiting. Boy was I wrong!!! It was only the second lobster roll I had on my road trip through New England and it was THE best one I had out of about 10 different ones I tried from Connecticut to Maine. Not only was it an outstanding lobster roll but I needed a gluten free option...again OUTSTANDING! Even the take on the coleslaw was fabulous. Wish we lived closer because we'd be there once a week for sure! Well done Bite into Maine!!! ”
“ Our second visit to a second location in a week was as spectacular as our first visit at Fort Williams. This seemed to have a slightly smaller menu (neither their curry lobster roll nor the sriracha aioli was offered here), but the classics were amazing! This location next to the brewery made it fun with outdoor seating and games. Gluten free rolls are great here! Loved trying the clam dip too! ”
“ Loved this stand - the lobster roll flight was spectacular. Juiciest, most tender lobster I’ve had compared to most lobster rolls in Boston. I’m a buttery warm mayo cold girl, but this way you get the best of both worlds. Also conveniently located next to Allagash brewing company so you can get a cold beer to pair with the creamy, succulent seafood! ”
“ Bite into Maine has the best lobster roll I have ever had! It is worth any line you have to wait on! I had to get the Connecticut two days in a row because it wowed me that much! Truly delicious! ”
