My husband and I stayed in Ogunquit and also explored Portland, and tried lobster rolls from a few of the popular spots- this was by far our favorite!! The lobster was cooked perfectly- meaty, fresh and tender! The roll was buttery and toasted just right to support the luscious pieces of lobster! We loved that we could choose either hot butter or mayo, we went with butter which was an excellent choice! You can opt for cole slaw or chips with your roll, or purchase other sides. Unfortunately, we were too full to sample their other offerings, but if we get the chance, we will certainly be back! Parking can be difficult, but if you wait until after 12 noon, the spots right in front of it are open for free (you can park up to two hours) We were lucky enough to nab one of those! The lady taking orders was very courteous and made us feel welcome! Grab a roll and head to the boardwalk after for an amazing view! read more

Footbridge Lobster - So picturesque! - Seafood Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

See all

Location location location. And a friendly owner who talked up the freshness of the lobsters, which come from the boats a few steps away in picturesque (and very touristic) Perkins Cove. The place is takeout only with a couple of picnic tables next to the, you guessed it, foot bridge. We had been eating our way through the day in Ogunquit, so we only shared a lobster roll, which was tasty. A perfectly toasted and buttered bun with a hearty portion of fresh lobster is simple perfection. I am not someone who likes a lot of mayonnaise mixed in my lobster rolls, but my only critique here is that it could have used a bit more mayo for added flavor. All in all, 4 stars, but I am rounding up to 4.5 since dining out during this COVID summer time is tough and I appreciate all places that stay open and all workers making it possible to do so. read more

Footbridge is a great fresh lobster "joint". Lobster rolls, buy one get one whole lobsters they are the best.

I've had a lot of delicious lobster rolls up and down New England. This hole in the wall place has one of the best ones I've tasted! My fiancé and I found this place by accident. While we were waiting, a couple told us that they wait every year for their lobster grilled cheese... naturally we were skeptical. When we ordered the lobster roll and the lobster grilled cheese, we were hooked!!! It is now a tradition to go here every year! read more

Footbridge Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

After reviewing Mark Weins recommendations, we chose to go to Footbridge. It was a beautiful day around 430pm. It got crowded around 6pm. There's a deal going on to buy 1 soft shell lobster get 1 free with 2 corn on the cob for $30.95. It's new shell lobster. The meat was tender, juicy, and the salty brine was amazing like Mark mentioned. We also ordered the lobster roll, 5 oz. The lobster is fresh, tender, soft. But it was cold. The long bun was toasted, warm, soft, with light mayo. The bun was great!! However, lobster roll was $33, which was crazy. Tried it once for the hype- that's it! Probably won't go back. The views are spectacular. Several sailboats passed by, we saw the drawbridge opening/closing. We even went across the bridge. Definitely a memorable experience read more

The best lobster roll in the area. Generous portion size and really tasty. I recommend the roll with melted butta vs Mayo. My favorite. Take out only, but plenty of benches in the area to enjoy. A must go. read more

Footbridge Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

On a coast line trip starting from little boars head to Ogunquit. It was so beautiful we kind of lost track of time. I was searching and searching the gps for something near by / on the way to curb my boyfriends craving for a lobster roll while in Maine. But with the pandemic and it being close to 9pm I was losing hope. We wandered into an area that said it had two lobster roll spots and this was not one of them. But low and behold ! They were open! AND had exactly what he wanted. Yay! Owner was sweet and friendly. He mentioned that he went out every morning fishing for lobster. My boyfriend asked what he'd recommend? He replied a little of both -bit of butter - bit of mayo. After his first bite and a moan, he said "this is the BEST lobster roll I've had to date... So fresh and so good I should've gotten two." read more

Went like 3 weeks ago and the lobster rolls are fat and juicy, fresh meat too! Great price

Best lobster we had while visiting Maine and New Hampshire. No question. Small place that offers Big flavor!

We stopped by here, it appeared to have grear reviews and no long wait in line. I ordered the grilled cheese lobster sandwich, and a large 16oz clam chowder. The grilled cheese tasted just like a grilled cheese with some lobster. The sandwich was very basic...if it had a lil lettuce and a slice of tomato it would of been much better...or had warm butter on it, or maybe a special sauce. If if had something special happening it would of set it apart. The clam chowder was very good tho, and definitely not canned. I would visit this place again, its great if you dont like long lines and dont mind sitting outside at a public picnic table to eat. Also the staff was very friendly. read more

For our lone venture beyond the nearby confines of our recent trip to Kittery, we took a drive up to Ogunquit and grabbed ourselves a couple lobster rolls at Foot Bridge Lobster. It's aptly named, as it is by the drawbridge one can walk over from one side of Perkin's Cove to the other. We showed up a little early for the lunchtime rush, and combined with the fact that it was a bit of a dreary day (it would rain a little by the time we had finished eating), it meant that we had no line to wait in for ordering, and our rolls were done about 5 minutes after getting them in. The only seats are the picnic tables scattered around by the water, so on nicer days, it's a good bet you will end up needing to stand and eat the rolls. That can be a bit challenging, because the rolls here are quite hefty! There is a decent amount of lobster meat, but on top of that, the bun is a bit more towards the potato bread side and is quite large itself. Both the Connecticut-style (warm with butter) and Maine style (cold with mayo) are pretty good, although I do prefer the former myself here. The clam chowder here is also decent, while the chips were what they were - standard original Lays. Overall, though, the buns were very good (albeit the buns being a bit oversized IMO), and for a nice bite by the water, you could definitely do worse. I wouldn't mind coming back for a visit next time I am in town. read more

Fantastic Lobster roll! 5oz's of pure Lobster Gold! Service was great and definitely worth the trip! I will be back soon! read more

Footbridge Lobster - 5oz's baby! - Seafood Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

Warm lobster roll with butter was great. Almost as good as Red's Eats. They had a special buy one steamed lobster for $23 and a second was free but we didn't get to try that. No indoor seating. Strictly take out. Beautiful setting in Perkins Cove. Would recommend. read more

Good lobster roll plenty of meat and a good toast on the bun. Price cheaper then other places in the area that were sub par. Served with a bag of chips. The blueberry soda was yummy so glad we tried that. read more

Awesome lobster rolls. My family's go to first stop every year when we arrive in Maine for vacation. Head to footbridge and grab the best lobster rolls. Have a seat on a bench then walk around Perkins cove after. Nothing better. read more

Awesome Lobster roll! Location is perfect at Perkins Cove. Price is great. Worth a trip.

WORTH THE $20! This is a PRIME lobster roll, a generous portion and a local business that's independently operated! I posted a full review including my first bite on my TikTok & Instagram @lorastahh! Also, if you're good looking, single and want to get a lobster roll here, DM me. read more

Came here on a whim as it looked pretty good, but wasn't very impressed with the food from here. We got warm buttered lobster rolls that came with chips and a clam strip plate with fries. The clam strips were just ok, neither bad but not exceptionally good either. The French fries it came with were better than the clam! Nice and crispy. The lobster rolls were disappointing. There was plenty of lobster but a lot of it was chewy and it seemed a bit bland which was remedied a bit by the butter(could've used more). The roll itself tasted good but it wasn't even really buttered and toasted which detracted from the overall taste. Maybe an off day but I wouldn't come back. read more

The epitome of a lobster roll. Don't think it can get any better than this. I'll definitely be visiting again!

We drove 3 hours round trip out of the way just for a Maine lobster roll and we definitely picked the right place! The staff were so friendly, the lobster roll was loaded and so fresh and best of all the atmosphere was incredible! We walked across the foot bridge and enjoyed our rolls on a bench overlooking Perkins Cove. The area is so stunning with a great walking path that goes around the cliff. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! I will say I almost gave it 4 stars for 2 reasons : Parking was such a challenge and I wish the lobster with hot butter could've been warm. But that's a lot to ask for a lobster shack and the view just made this a slam dunk - just check my photo! read more

Footbridge Lobster - Lobster roll and fries. Crossed over the bridge to eat on the other side overlooking the town! - Seafood Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

Best Lobster roll in Ogunquit by far. The homemade brioche rolls are what make this such an excellent sandwich. The rolls are buttered and toasted to a beautiful golden brown and then piled high with fresh Maine lobster. That coupled with the picturesque Perkins Cove I'm not sure what else you need, maybe a heady IPA to round out this perfect Maine tableau. 8/10 awesome spot read more

We got lobster rolls and a side of fries for takeout and ordered online ahead of time. They also have canned local made cocktails that were a nice addition. The lobster roll is on a brioche bun which is very yummy and loaded with fresh lobster. read more

I went here with a friend and ordered lobster rolls. I had mine cold, and he preferred his warm with butter. I was pleasantly surprised how big the lobster rolls were, and will definitely return as they were fantastic! We received our meals and walked over to some picnic tables along the cove, and the view was amazing. read more

Becca and Brendan: Tucked into the picturesque Perkins cove lies this small walk up lobster shack. With a sign that says "from our boat to you", we knew this place would be the real deal. The woman who works (and presumably owns?) this shack is beyond friendly and efficient. We ordered the lobster roll warmed with drawn butter (though they do offer Maine style as well) which comes with a side of Cole slaw for $17 before tax. The roll came out with large, fresh pieces of lobster piled atop a buttered hot dog bun. Our only critique is that the bun was on the buttery end of the spectrum. read more

Footbridge Lobster - Lobster roll with butter and a side of coke slaw - Seafood Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

Drove all the way here from Massachusetts. Facebook kept giving me notifications so we tried it. We got here and it's on a little tiny tight cove. Parking is almost non existent. And if you do get a spot be prepared to walk 10 minutes to your car. The only good thing here is the lobster roll. For $25.00 it should be. I had a fried haddock sandwich with cheese. Very crispy and bland. It wasn't worth the money. The French fries are tiny over fried shoestring French fries. We threw them out. And the big surprise when we got here was TAKE OUT ONLY. Forget relaxing indoors after the long drive. Glad we made a day of it but we will be going to another place for the lobster next time. read more

Called ahead and braved trying to find a nearby parking spot based on the positive reviews for Footbridge. We got there on a summer weekday during lunch and the wait wasn't very long if you simply ordered in person. I ordered a lobster roll with mayo and butter (combo). They say 5 ounces of lobster meat. The quality of the lobster was superb and the portions were very generous. I had multiple claws, knuckles and lobster tail overflowing in the roll. Every time I tried to take a bite big chucks of fresh lobster we're falling into the paper carton. Also, the roll was very tasty - grilled, sweet and fresh. In addition to the lobster roll I also had the clam chowder which was also very good (4 out of 5). It wasn't very thick and had a lot of potatoes but otherwise the flavor was great. The only negative is that I ordered fries and they forgot to give them to me and they also didn't provide utensils. I also had to ask for the drinks I paid for. I also went back two days later and had a slight issue with the contents so make sure to check your orders. read more

There are seafood places everywhere (it's the coast of Maine!) and there is nothing unique about this one. It's just a walk up food stand on Perkins Cove. The lobster roll was well packed, but I'd expect this when paying $20 for a $0.05 hot dog bun with meat in it. The prices are high for what you get in return. It would be more tolerable if the seafood plates had fries as an option instead of only a small bag of chips or cole slaw. The side of fries cost another $6+ and were bland. Good tasting seafood, but with many other options it probably won't be a repeat place for us. read more

First time trying a lobster roll and I'm soooooo glad that my experience was in here. The lobster was extremely fresh and juicy. The grilled Texas toast that held all of this seafood grillness was perfectly grilled and buttered. Usually I find more to say but sometimes less is more, but if your in the area for vacation don't hesitate on trying this was an awesome meal! read more

My wife and I are on a several week trip from the west coast and were so excited to have our first lobster roll in Maine, after careful review of yelp choices in Ogunquit we picked the Footbridge...bad choice ! For almost 30 bucks for a sandwich I would expect it to beyond great.....what a disappointment ! I would have given it a 1 star but the fried clams were really good. The lobster roll had zero flavor, a wet soggy texture that we basically had to eat it with a fork. The really said thing is that they were selling a lot of these things and making about 20 bucks per sandwich....show some pride in what your selling when you are making that much profit on a single food item. I have had lobster rolls in California for less money that are 10 times better on a bad day. read more

Maybe I got spoiled by all of the amazing lobster rolls I had at the neighboring establishments of Ogunquit and beyond, but the food at Footbridge just wasn't good. And my expectations were fairly low given that it's a to-go quick food place. The lobster grilled cheese was full of chewy, slightly off tasting lobster bits. Not the fresh plump stuff I got used to over the course of the weekend. read more

Yummy lobster roll in picturesque Perkins Cove. Quick service by friendly pleasant folks. Highly recommend for a tasty casual lunch.

Best lobster roll on our trip to Ogunquit by far (and I ate a lot of lobster rolls). Perfectly toasted bun, a TON of lobster, absolutely delicious! Next time I'm in town, I don't need to go anywhere else. Footbridge is the best. Hands down. read more

10/10 lobster roll and steamed lobsters. Price is easily half of other restaurants for steamed lobster. He pulls if fresh from the ice chest and straight to the steamer. Doesn't get better than this place. read more

So freakin' good. Do yourself the favor and go. Don't think about it. This lobster roll was the right price, perfect portion, and the bun was amazing. The man behind the counter was also so kind. Don't go anywhere else. Best lobster roll around. read more

Footbridge Lobster - SO GOOD - Seafood Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

They make the best lobster rolls here-so fresh and perfectly steamed and dressed. Their roll is 5 oz and a standard roll is usually 4 oz. My roll had two claws and tail meat. The roll is also perfectly toasted and buttered. Also, at 18.95, it's a deal. It's almost impossible to find a lobster roll under 20.00 anymore. You order at a counter and take your food, but don't let this deter you. Sitting on the granite slabs along the pier and watching the boats go by is a really pleasant way to have a meal. If you go, DO NOT order the clam chowder. It is bad-no flavor and devoid of clams. This place gets five stars because the lobster roll is that good and the staff was really friendly and efficient. read more

Very nice people and food. It's only a takeout stand but the price is good and the lobster roll was great.

Did I fall into lobster heaven? With the chunks of fresh lobster meat in a buttery toasted roll, this is the epiphany of Maine. You can not ask for more. Footbridge Lobster is located on a busy one way pier which is heavily populated with tourists. I jumped out and ordered my lobster roll (with no mayo!) 5 oz. for $14. With my first bite, you can taste the sweet meat which you can only find when lobster is freshly caught. As for the bun, one word "buttah"!! Fortunately, there are a few public parking stalls in front of the restaurant. This is a place which prides itself on the traditional lobster roll. Fortunately, they offer the lobster on the bun in three ways: lobster without mayo lobster with mayo lobster with melted butter Either way, all of them are delicious and worth the extra drive. They also accept VISA. There are a few tables close by but enjoy the sights around this beautiful area and enjoy every succulent bite of Maine lobster! read more
