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!

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.

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!

But after seeing all the best lobster awards Reds has gotten over many years we just had to detour through Wiscasset, Maine and give Reds a try. Yesterday was a beautiful daywhich made the wait much easier. We arrived to a line about 150 ' long waiting to get to a single order window of this iconicshack type food stand. While waiting in line we met folks traveling from everywhere all with a common goal of try a Reds lobsterroll. It was a group of young and old all socializing to kill time. I was amazing to see so many people talking friendly to eachother. During the wait one of the Reds employees would delivery cups of cold water to keep all the customers hydrated buthungry One hour and fifty four minutes after arriving at our place in line at Reds, we were rewarded with the absolutely bestLobster Roll, possibly in the country. Besides the taste, there was enough lobster meat to feed two. For the first time in mylife I left half a bun in order to finish the mouth watering fresh off the boat lobster meat. A lobster roll consists of lobstermeat, fresh drawn warm butter and some variation of a hot dog bun. One might think there isn 't much difference until you tastethe freshness of Reds. Keep up the fabulous work Reds. You deserve the many years you have been in business. The many travelshows and food awards you have received can 't come close to explaining the experience it is to bite into your lobster

We both ordered the lobster roll; I got fries, my husband got onion rings. The lobster roll had so much lobster on it youcould not see the roll underneath. And the price is only $25! While in line, we were offered cold water, a piece of friedshrimp, an umbrella (it was sunny), and a freeze pop! ?Very nice of them to consider their customers as they stood outside in along line. It was well worth the wait! We?ll definitely go back!
