worth it but make it 100x more awkward

Living in Portland Maine myself, I actually rarely eat lobster out due to the prices. I'm apart of this Facebook group with local fishermen that sell their seafood directly to consumers at $4.99-$5.99/lb without buying from a market. Making your own lobster rolls are so much more satisfying without breaking the wallet. You can also make so much more than just lobster rolls. We just made lobster mac and cheese this week. I think poké bowls with lobster meat is next for us to try!

You would think lobster would be cheaper in Maine but I guess it's controlled by the lobster cartel. Here in Los Angeles restaurants are charging as much as $34 /lb. I am thinking if you travel to Portland and stay at an Airbnb you can buy from the fishermen and cook it yourself, saving a ton of money.

From someone who lives in Portland, all those places are awesome. What a tough choice to make!

I don’t like how that guy dominated the conversation “kindly” he was off putting, and I hate that people have to be like that

We were in Maine and had the lobster rolls at Highroller and it was amazing. Now I have to go back and try some of these other places :) Thanks guys.

They aren’t in Portland in the opener. They are in Cape Elizabeth. The lighthouse is called Portland Headlight, but it is in Cape.

I loved this video. Thank you for making it.

Thanks Guys🌻I'll Definitely Try Eventide...Their Oysters Look Delish Too😋😋

This video was absolutely fun!! I’m on my way to look at more of your videos

I would so try the Bite into Maine picnic style lobster roll. Yum! 🤤

Great video . It was enjoyable to watch ! Headed to portland next week !!!!!

You two are great. I enjoyed watching this video and hope to visit Maine soon so I could too taste the lobster.

Its 2am and i feel hungry watching you guys

They were right. I went over a year ago, and I never had a better tasting roll/bun..? but agree, should be bigger.

Bite into Maine best lobster rolls.

Quest for the best, I love the catchy title! I appreciate your review of the different styles of lobster rolls. And thank you so much for including the prices! I'm surprised at the large amount of lobster meat in those rolls! Maybe because it's in Maine where they catch it that they can offer so much meat for such a reasonable price... Total YUMMM!!! Now, go take a nap!

Lobster rolls go back to the days lobsters were cheap. Later seafood stores made them to use up excess lobsters. You can do the same with any fish. These days fish is too expensive to add mayo and stick it in a roll. Maybe I’d do it with leftovers.

Thats looks so good

Nice job guys

I went to Maine Portland a few months ago with my husband and baby! I wanted to go for the lobster roll, so I finally tried it, but I didn’t like it because it was the food type 😭 I tried it at the Lobster shack at Cape Elizabeth, mannnnnn I wanted a nice and warm one ! But I didn’t try another one at another place since it was already soooo expensive, anyways I can’t wait to go back and try it at these other places ! I’m glad you guys made this video :)!

I’m from Maine and have to say that I’m horrified that anyone would put lettuce or any type of seasoning on or in a lobster roll. They should be simple and let the lobster shine....New England style hotdog bun, lobster and just a tiny bit of mayonnaise to act as a binder THAT’S IT!!!!

Yum. Only been to Portland Maine once and been to the Portland Lobster Co. I also went on the Lucky Catch boat and knew where the lobster came from and they cooked it up over there. So good, can't get much fresher than that.

Eventide was the best lobster roll when this video was made but now there is one even better at Twelve. There is a caveat with Twelve, its part of a four course prix fixe dinner so if you are looking for a roll by itself then Eventide is still the best bet.

For a fair comparison one should NEVER tell the manager/owner ahead of time about reviewing their place. Owner can always cheat and put extra free lobster, condiments, etc just to get a better review.

Omg yummmmmm bomb

I have enjoyed Eventide's lobster sandwich, it's definitely delicious, I just wouldn't call it a roll, to me if it's not traditional and the restaurant changes the ingredients to make it their own then it's a sandwich. There are soo, soo many great Lobster rolls and sandwich's in Portland, I'de suggest trying them all but my favorite is at home just because I get more for my buck😉

Eventide has an excellent reputation; however, I would have disqualified it from the Lobster Roll competition because of the petite size. A LR, in addition to being of excellent quality, should have a minimum of 4 ounces of meat. Nonetheless, it is a fine restaurant.
