Was A at Red's Eats a mag?
The lobster roll is the best I've ever had. It's definitely worth a one-hour wait, but I ended up waiting almost two hours, which makes me question if it’s worth that. They really should simplify their menu to focus solely on lobster rolls and improve the speed of service. Also, keep in mind it's cash only. View all feedback.
What Prince Torphy dislikes about Red's Eats:
5 star food, 1 star wait. Granted, they can't help it and they do their best handing out water, umbrellas and the occasional snack for your journey up the line. You have to know you're going to wait, and you have to be OK with it. We ordered lobsterrolls, because obviously that's what you go for. I can't say they were better than the best lobster roll I've had, but there wasenough lobster meat for 2 buns on 1 roll. C... View all feedback.
We absolutely adore this restaurant and always make a point to visit whenever we're in Maine. Their lobster roll is incredible, loaded with a generous amount of lobster! Last week, I tried their scallops, and WOW, they were fantastic! The customer service here is outstanding as well. They even provide umbrellas for shade while you wait in line, along with complimentary samples and water! Corey was our server, and he took great care of us, checking in several times and being incredibly friendly. We can't wait to return soon!
The line is almost never worth it but on those rare occasions that it's less than 10 people long, I will stop. I have fond childhood memories of my Dad taking me for hot dogs and onion rings as a reward for good grades. I know the lobster roll gets all the praise and it is great/worthy of that praise but the onion rings are the deal standout. You can make a lobster roll just as good at home with little effort, but not those onion rings crispy, batter dipped, sweet onion; you don't even need any condiments. Lobster roll market price was $34 on our visit which is a pretty good deal considering the current market price of picked lobster.
Where do I begin? I waited in line for 1.25 hours, and it was absolutely worth it! I tried the lobster roll, scallops, and onion rings. I have to say, I might be spoiled for the rest of my trip. The scallops and onion rings were fantastic, but the lobster roll... wow! It had more lobster than any I've ever had, and it was simply delicious. There was even a whole tail on the roll! I had to eat more than half of it before I could actually pick it up. I’ll stop here, but the memories will definitely stay with me!
First of all let me say, this place is worth every minute of the wait! I waited for 2 hours and met several people from other parts of the country. Had a great visit and even sampled terrific shrimp while in line. The service when I got the front of theline was top notch. The people I know interacted with were kind/informative/efficient. The lobster rolls? not only the mostdelicious I?ve ever had, but TONS of fresh lobster on the roll. They were served with hot butter. We also got the onion ringsand they were unique with a scrumptious sauce! The big surprise here was they offered 100% beef hotdogs for only $1! This wasable to offset the amount we spent for the adults, and the kids raved about them! Keep in mind? CASH ONLY!!

You have to know you're going to wait, and you have to be OK with it. We ordered lobsterrolls, because obviously that's what you go for. I can't say they were better than the best lobster roll I've had, but there wasenough lobster meat for 2 buns on 1 roll. Couldn't even tell there was a bun beneath. Bun was toasted with butter (definitemust) and had the lobster on top. Comes with a side of butter and then mayo upon request. We waited 2 hours on a Saturday ofLabor Day weekend, and rolls were $25/ea at the time. Not sure I'd wait again, but it was definitely worth to do at least once.
