    Some locals recommended this place to me for a good lobster roll experience. What I really like about this place is they offer multiple variations of the lobster rolls. I had a mini lobster roll flight so I chose the picnic, Connecticut and Chipotle roll. Surprisingly I liked the picnic the best. The coleslaw really pairs well with the lobster. I also ordered the lobster mac and cheese. It was rich, ooey and gooey. I added some hot sauce to cut some of the richness. The lunch was well proportioned and I was full all afternoon. The staff was very friendly and they get a lot of traffic. I was really happy with my visit.

    Lobster  Roll Flight

    Bite Into Maine is a must-stop if you're anywhere near Portland. I tried the lobster roll flight and it was absolutely incredible--two Connecticut style rolls (my fav) and one Maine style, all perfectly prepared and loaded with flavor. Every bite was amazing, and pairing them with a fresh pour from Allagash Brewing took the experience to another level. The service was just as good as the food--the crew working the truck was super friendly and cool. Between the outstanding lobster rolls, great beer, and awesome vibes, this is easily a spot I'll come back to every time I visit Portland. Plus, they are the only ones (that I'm aware of) doing lobster roll flights.

    $90 for two lobster is wild. They only came with chips. We got curry Lobster and lobster with butter. They were decent but the lobster was all chopped up. No real, chubk of meat. This feel like tourist trap

    Service is excellent! I tried the '3 mini rolls' sampler with these options: The Maine, Picnic and the Connecticut lobster rolls. My least favorite was the Connecticut. The Maine and the Picnic rolls were great but my favorite was the staff's recommendation--The Picnic, which has coleslaw at the bottom. At first when the guy behind the counter recommended the Picnic roll, I looked at him with some doubt, but said let's see what it's about. I'm so glad I tried it. The staff knows what's up! I also tried the whopper pie but that was just okay.

    BIM, was recommended by a local foodie as the Best Lobster Roll in Portland. We tried a Large Maine style ( $37) at The Lighthouse location and agree, best We tried. Good shareable size. Like the consistency of the Lobster a bit broken down, no big pieced falling out, holding together. Got a recommendation for slaw versus potato salad and it was very good. Man that little trailer in the park must be printing money! The airstream parked at Allagash was also excellent. We were lobstered out so tried the regional red hot dog. Really good, glad we did. Served on those glorious buttered buns with mustard relish and added pickled onions, Served with chips. Messy and uniquely delicious. Tried the potato salad this time and it was money. Fresh red potatoes in a light mayonnaise sauce, so fresh and home made. The grilled cheese was also a hit. I would try any of their sandwiches!

    On my New England tour we had 7 different lobster roll spots, and I have to say unequivocally that Bite into Maine is the BEST. You will however pay for the privilege, and if you're like me and it's the first Maine lobster roll you've had you will unfortunately compare every next one, and it will ruin them for you. The freshness of the meat and simplicity is unmatched. The bun is perfectly toasted. You will leave this place thinking, wow...this is it. This is why people come here. What an amazing spot that does their primary focus incredibly well. Highly recommended. 5*.

    6 oz lobster roll

    Went with the traditional lobster roll and it is the best we have had in Portland. (Our other roll was from a popular institution that has thousands of reviews.) To upgrade to the 6 oz roll, it was $41 after tax. We just went with the traditional with hot butter. Great lobster, awesome roll, and very stuffed with lobster meat. Great placement to have the food truck right on the Allagash property. We got here early and it wasn't much of a wait, but as it got later in the day the lines were longer.

    This is in regards to the bite into Maine inside the allagash brewing location. I live in Georgia and do not get the luxury of having lobster rolls all the time. I was really looking forward to a fresh lobster roll and was quickly disappointed. My family ordered 4 lobster rolls (very pricey mind you) but they came out cold! They were CT style which is supposed to be hot buttered. The bun was toasted and buttered, the lobster was once buttered, as it had a glaze and chunks of coagulated butter on it, and the meat was so cold. The worker refused to heat it up. Very disappointed especially for the price and advertisement as "hot lobster roll"

    Chips and crab(?) dip

    The streets don't wanna hear this but the best lobster rolls in Portland are at a brewery. Bite Into Maine has a perma-spot at Allagash which is perfect for those wanting to hit 2 birds with one stone (that sounds terrible smh). My cousin is into rolls with mayo and I like mine warm with butter. My mom is team whatever. In the end we got some sort of crab dip, a mayo roll, a butter roll, and a butter roll with slaw (mine). Outstanding truly. It takes about 10-15 minutes to get your food and it's worth the wait. We went to other lobster legends in the city and nothing compared. The beer was great too ;)

    Connecticut, Picnic & Maine
    Helen H.

    I'm glad they were conveniently located at Allegash. I ordered the lobster roll flight, which gave me three mini rolls- Maine, Connecticut, and picnic. The buns were nicely toasted. Of the three, I enjoyed the picnic one the most. The rolls also came with a side of chips. It was a solid start to the beginning of my lobster roll journey.

    Lobster flight

    I highly recommend ordering the flight. All three of the rolls I had were excellent. My partner ordered the lobster BLT and was pleasantly surprised. We also shared a red potato salad on the side that was delicious! We ordered while enjoying some delicious beers at Allagash brewery. This was one of my best meals in Portland.

    The lobster grilled cheese was very good. The cheese really made it.

    While in ME, I was on a quest to have as many and the best lobster that I could get. Being from Pittsburgh, we don't have good lobster. I am so happy that I could have lobster here. It was really good. I wanted to try something different than the standard lobster roll. They had lobster grilled cheese on the menu so I had to try it. I am so glad that I did. It was really good. I loved the cheese they used. It was amazing and really made it. The lobster was good too. I wish there was a bit more of it for the price. The bread was really good. My husband had the Caprese sandwich and he really liked. he said the mozarella and tomato were really fresh. He is tough on bread and thought it was really good. They are really nice there and gave you your food in a reasonable amount of time. Definitely check them out.

    Lobster roll 6oz-$40

    I still wondering how food truck food can be so good and fresh???!!!! Omg the day we went was super windy. I tried to put down my lobster roll on the table to take a picture. I guess you knew what's coming next. It flipped my roll!!!! Thankfully I was about to save 3/4 of my sandwich!!! At the point my hubby.... his eyes was talking to me with angry words. "I told you. You never listen"!!! Omg. Words can't express how I felt. So guys please hold on tight to your $40 lobster roll on a windy day. So that was a unfortuate situation I went through. "Hubby said, you just lost $10 of lobster." Anyhow, the lobster were in smaller pieces not chunks. They are fresh lobster and just enough mayo and chive. On a better note. The pull pork sandwich $15 was the highlight of our visit. It was the best we have ever had. Get the lobster roll because you are in Maine and you got to it Bite into Maine, but get the pull pork also. You will thank me later. My kids had the Caprese. Their words were "tasted like a margarita pizza". It did looked fresh. I didn't get a bite of it so I have no say. I was really full from the lobster roll and pull pork shared with my husband. I would go back next time I visit.

    $26 4.5 oz lobster roll

    Another outstanding experience at what is fast becoming one of my favorite places to grab some…read moreexcellent food and libations!!! This time we had more time so we got to play some pinball, have some apps and some cocktails-and once again food and service was excellent (thank you Kate!!!)!! Over the course of approx 2 hours we tried the chicken fingers and the fried pickles, both were excellent-had a few beers and I even enjoyed their Aperol Spritz!! Of course we got our favorite entrees (The Jr Beef for her and the Steak and Cheese with Peppers and Onion for me) and I am happy to say they killed it again!!!!

    Yet another fantastic visit to George & Leon's! It had been a little while since we have visited…read morebut with it being so close decided to have dinner here. Showed up before any sort of rush and snagged two seats at the bar. The overall vibes are great here with lots of interesting decor (lots of movie & horror themed things). The bartender greeted us and was willing to answer any questions we had and immediately got us glasses of water. We then decided on cocktails and she made great tasty drinks to our liking. My wife went with a Daiquiri and had just enough fruity/sweetness with a kick still. I got one of their bourbon drinks and it had a great kick to it. Food wise I ended up getting their Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and it was a delicious sandwich with juicy chicken. My wife got the Jr. Beef and enjoyed it but thought the sauce was a touch spicy (would likely pick another item next time) but very much enjoyed it and finished it still. We split an order of onion rings and they were outstanding, lightly battered but perfectly crispy. Due to sitting at the bar we had fantastic conversations with the bartender who made us feel welcome and provided great service. We talked about our love for animals, Maine and more. Really the perfect example of how the experience of sitting at a bar should be and why you'd return! Give George & Leon's a try if you haven't and if it's been awhile revisit!

    Ahh, the sign of a butchers cleaver. I am not sure what this provokes in most people, but as I've…read moresaid before, Stephen King gives me the heebie-jeebies. So for me, the butcher cleaver represents something tasty--except for when the shmuckabaloos haven't a clue what they are doing. Fortunately, this tasty little joint, Miller's Market up in Gorham, Maine, knows what they're doing! I'd been cruising the highways, riding the coast of Vacationland for some time now, and somehow, someway, ventured a bit further inland. Once I saw the burnt-orange cleaver in the window, I knew I'd have to give it a try and see if these hullabaloos knew what they were doing. I was greeted with a "Hey, how you'rrrr doin'?" The soft, rolling extension on the r made me feel right at home in Maine. Jeezum crow, you Mainers speak funny. But by golly, you are a lovable bunch of hillbilly farmers and fisherfolk. Anywho, I ordered myself a chicken Caesar wrap--wanting to feel nourished, but not to the point of comatose. Salad in a wrap--a genius way to feel healthy. Mind over matter. "Hand-cut fries or hand-cut chips?" the counter guy asked me. Now, I love a fry, but I'm feeling crunchy in these overcast late-April days. I hesitate, and somehow this mind reader behind the counter could sense it. "I can see you want the chips, but you gotta try these fries. Why don't I give you a little of both?" he says to me. Now I'm looking at him cockeyed--just another Mainer who seems to be able to read a man's soul. Well, I am here now--no turning back. And then my eyes widen when I spot a tasty crème soda in the fridge next to the register. My lucky day. Crème soda--the most underrated of all sodas. What's not to love? Creamy and poppy all in the same bottle. This guy seems nice, and I am in no rush, so I say, "Hey, throw it on my tab. I'm going to be a while. After I eat, I'm going to write something!" I pull up a spot without paying and know that there's no expectation to do so--at least not right away. Good ol' Maine courtesy, as good as this blueberry Jalapeño salsa from Pemberton partners, which I can apparently purchase at Millers Market, where it just ain't sangys it's home goodies too. I open up my futuristic-typewriter and get to work on my latest novel, but can't seem to find a single word. I glance at the menu--buffalo chicken pesto sandwich. Hard tellin', not knowin'. Mainers--brilliant folk when it comes to food. Pesto and buffalo sauce! Never had it, but I need it. That's bound to be tasty--as warm buttah' on lobstah. "Hi, I'll take my butter with lobster, please."--how it should be ordered. Dee-EEE --licious. You Mainers are shaking your heads right now, pesto and buffalo is probably a common thing round these parts, from ya? Nope I ain't and the rest of the country is far behind on the trend of the buffalo/pesto combo, I can promise you that. Then my food is brought out to me. It looks tasty--but the fries have me skeptical.... Find out how it all turned out at https://ryanccurtis.com/blog/timeless-fries-at-millers-market/n19c63

It's similar in some aspects to other major sub/sandwich chains. Compared to one major one you don't watch your sandwich being made or make choices during sandwich building. We looked at the menu beforehand to make sure we had our sandwiches picked out prior so we didn't cause a backup of a line. They have a good variety of subs you can order. As long as you enjoy sub sandwiches you should find an option. The one exception I would say is for those who are vegan/vegetarian. They do offer one sub called Veggie, so you have an option but that's really it. They offer their sandwiches on wheat or white and have three different sizes available. I got a large of their Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket while my wife got a medium of their Italian. We both enjoyed them, although I will say we have had better from other national chains and especially better from more local spots too. The staff were quite friendly and the wait for our sandwiches was minimal. They do have seating for those who want to enjoy their food as soon as it's made, but I assume most take it to go. If you enjoy a sub sandwich and want to give a different national chain a try than your typical choice then come to Firehouse. We will consider them as a possible option occasionally but won't necessarily be rushing back.

    We ordered online for pickup. One of the 3 subs was cut lengthwise so, now we have a 12 inch long 2…read moreinch wide sandwich which nearly impossible to eat.

I guess I will never get the refund because I am done with this place. This is the 3rd or 4th order in a row that has been incorrect and their only response seems to be "My bad".
