    Lobster roll
    Ciara L.

    NICEST HUMANS ON THE WHOLE WORLD RUNNING THOSE BUSINESS!!!! Got a lobster roll from Maine and took it down to look at the beautiful light house. Food tasted great. Fair price. There was also $6 chowder and several other menu options. Seating in front as well. Great spot!!!

    While visiting Portland, we wanted to try a few lobster rolls, and this spot was one we were especially excited about after hearing so many great things on social media and even from Somebody Feed Phil. We ordered the 4.5 oz Connecticut lobster rolls with warm butter and wow, they exceeded expectations! The rolls were generously filled with perfectly cooked lobster, buttery and tender, and the bread itself was just right. We wish we had time to try some of their other rolls, but this one alone left a fantastic impression. A helpful tip: while there are only a few tables in front of the truck, you can easily take your food to the nearby beach area where there are plenty of picnic tables. This made for the perfect setting to enjoy such a delicious meal. Highly recommend stopping here when exploring Fort Williams Lighthouse!

    I am not a taco truck type of person, but made the exception to try this famous lobster roll. What a surprise, these were the best in all of Maine that we tried, and we tried many. There are a few different options to try and the line was long, we waited about 15 minutes for our rolls, but it went fast. It was very hot, so we decided to try the blueberry soda since we are in the region of blueberries. Even though we don't care for soda too much, it wasn't so bad. Try it at least once is our motto, and as they say... When is Rome... Parking is available and is 2.00 for the hour. While there, take a very easy walk along the coast to the light house. They have a little gift shop and the area is beautiful. Stop and take in the beauty, sit at one of the many picnic tables and enjoy the moment.

    Best lobster roll in all the land

    Best lobster roll in NE period. Spent a week in Boston and Maine hunting lobter rolls and yarn stores. Bite into Maine was the best. Its a food truck by the famous Portland Lighthouse with a super long line, for good reason. It moves fairly quickly - the order taker is real efficient. Most people knew what they wanted so they didn't hold up the line. The lobster roll was fantastic - lot of lobster, juicy with butter. The grilled cheese was, well, grilled cheese. Both are served with potato chips. We got the last whoopie pie (score!) and tried the blueberry soda, clan chowder and potato sald - all were very good. If you're aound Portland a difinite must try!

    Even though you have to wait in a long line to place your order the people working at this food truck were the absolute nicest! Not only are they able to give suggestions on what what to order. They keep the line moving as fast as possible and they're so accommodating and helpful! This is a food truck so seating is limited. There are a few tables outside in front of the food truck. The lobster roll was filled with lobster. I was very surprised with how much lobster they give. It tasted fresh and was absolutely delicious.

    If you haven't heard of Bite Into Maine, you probably live under a rock. They are well known for their lobster rolls, and they absolutely deliver on their reputation. It was a rainy day, so we decided to go looking at lighthouses around southern Maine. We stumbled across a Bite Into Maine food truck and had to give it a try. The friendly staff were keeping plenty busy on this rainy day. Their lobster rolls aren't huge, but they charge a very fair price for what you get. You can also have it done up multiple ways. I just tried the traditional cold lobster roll and it was delicious! Enjoying their delicious lobster roll right in the scenic Fort Williams Park was the perfect way to spend a rainy day!

    Bite into Maine is a fantastic spot! Their Connecticut Lobster Roll is truly very good, and you can't beat the experience with those amazing lighthouse views. Highly recommend!

    Best lobster roll we had on the trip! I loved that they offer different styles. We tried both the Connecticut and Maine versions, and each was delicious. Generous portions of lobster, so it actually felt worth the price. It's a food truck, and of course it started raining when we got there. However, service was super friendly and quick. We ended up eating in the car, and it was still absolutely delicious. There were picnic tables overlooking the water. So would have been nice to sit and eat at if it wasn't raining. Expensive, but totally worth it. Would 100% go back!

    Wow. The location by the lighthouse, the people, the FOOD. This place defines Maine for me. The absolute best lobster rolls we've had on this trip, we wish we had the ability to try all of it. I will forever dream of this bite. Must must go, specifically to this location.

    Maine and Wasabi Rolls
    Christy W.

    When they say "best lobster roll in Maine," they're not exaggerating! We tried the Maine and the Wasabi rolls -- both loaded with giant chunks of claw meat on buttery Texas toast rolls. Pricey? Sure. Worth it? Every. Single. Bite.

    Connecticut style Lobster Roll

    I had a chance to visit Bite into Maine when I was checking out the Lighthouse and oh my this is a food truck nearby and I heard that they serve really yummy lobster rolls. The cool thing here is they have different types of rolls and I ended up getting the Connecticut one with melted butter. The day we went it was rainy but thankfully the truck was still open. We were able to get a roll and it came with some chips which added a nice crunch. The lobster roles here are very yummy and would recommend to check it out!

    Stopped at the food truck to grab a quick bite for lunch! Great lobster rolls! Definitely give them a try!

    I've been to Maine many times, but only twice in the past decade or so. On my most recent visit, my flight was delayed, leaving me with a couple extra hours to spend in this gorgeous state. Up until that point, on a short visit, I hadn't really done much Maine stuff. And my Maine (wo)man took this as an opportunity to show me the quintessential Maine morning: lobster roll + lighthouse. We drove up inside Fort Williams Park, and rolled up to this trailer atop a hill, where they are serving up truly excellent lobster rolls. I don't know if it's blasphemy that I prefer the "Connecticut" preparation (topped with warm butter instead of the mayo salad), but I do love that: 1. They cater to the content generation by giving you a heads-up before they pour the butter over the top of the roll. 2. This is one of the best lobster rolls I've ever had. 3. I can eat it while staring at a lighthouse by the water on a beautiful fall day. Truly, a wonderful experience, and one everyone should try at least once. It is pricey, especially if you opt for the extra lobster option like I did, but it's well worth it.

    What do people mean when they compare this to the storefront? What's the storefront restaurant of this?

    This location is our original food truck. We have a small takeout - which we call the Commissary- which is at 185 US Route One in Scarborough. It started as our commercial kitchen for our food trucks...and developed into retail and takeout in 2017.

They were crisp with a slight char topped with shaved fennel and dill. The two sauces that accompanied them were delicious. The cashew creme was my fav. The entree I chose was the rack of lamb. Black garlic risotto, carrots and roasted peppers were the sides. The jus was rich and had a deep flavor. Very good choice. Dessert was a choice of carrot cake, vegan chocolate mousse or a berry tart. I took the carrot cake home and had it later. It was probably the best carrot cake Ive ever had!

The Maine lobster roll (mayo-based) was good with a slightly lemony flavor maybe but expensive at $41 - maybe that's the going rate but it seemed slightly high. They have a three smaller lobster roll flight but I am pretty sure it's the same price as just buying three small lobster rolls. The mac and cheese was disappointing. It had a slightly slimy texture and the pasta was mushy. The clam chowder was fine but tasted like it had been reheated and not made all that recently. I had a lobster roll from their food truck a few years ago that I ate outside on a summer day and it felt special. This visit did not feel that way and instead more of a perfunctory meal. I think more attention to detail on the sides and no lobster rolls in the 40 dollar range for what feels like a casual establishment would be improvements.

It feels like a secret, but I know it's not a well kept one! Our server Nico (apologies if I've misspelled that!) was wonderful. He was friendly and helpful when we made our dinner choices. The other servers were also always on top of keeping our table clear and our water filled. The food was absolute perfection. We started with a salad and grilled octopus. The salad was bright and acidic which paired perfectly with the best octopus dish I've had. It was so tender and delicious, I've never had octopus that was that tender. The grilled flavor came through immediately, but never overwhelmed the delicate flavor of the octopus. For mains I had sole francaise and my husband had bone in monkfish. The sole was melt in your mouth good. It was lightly breaded and cooked in a pan with brown butter. It was so toasty and nutty and coated the green beans and simple, but perfect, red potatoes it was served with. My husband's monkfish was fresh and perfectly toothsome, served with fluffy Roman gnocchi and romesco sauce. My only regret is not having enough room for dessert because I'm sure it's incredible as well! I can't wait to return the next time we're in Portland. Just to note: this is one of the least accessibility-friendly areas of the city. The old cobblestone road that it's located on is foot traffic only. The closest approach is if you're dropped off at the end of and it you would still have a short distance to travel. There is a brick footpath on the sides of the cobblestone road that is slightly smoother, but still not ideal. Earlier in the day I was able to navigate the street okay on foot so it will depend on your capabilities. That being said, I took my motorized travel chair down there in the evening and Street and co were happy to let me fold it up and store it near the door.
