The second spot for our lobster roll fest and located right next to the Lobster Shack. Foot Bridge Lobster is a window that you can order from and has no seating except for two chairs right by the window. This time around, we order a lobster roll to split and a lobster grilled cheese. Since we had small bites from the Lobster Shack, I was still hankering for lobster. I was being greedy and looked for the best bite with the most lobster. Oh how I regret that. This lobster roll with mayo was very fishy and didn't taste as fresh. And the large chunk of lobster that I got ended up being a lump in my throat. The lobster meat was so chewy and tough and hard to swallow. The lobster grilled cheese was great in comparison. The cheese really balanced the lobster and the bread was better toasted and provided a texture contrast. read more

Great and fresh lobster rolls! At least 2 lobsters' meat for one roll. The price is reasonable considering the quality of food.

The owner was super friendly and highly recommended the Mayo/butter combo lobster roll. That was the way to go!!! He showed us how large his lobster rolls are compared to others...as someone who has had many lobster rolls in my life, Footbridge Lobster has the freshest and largest rolls around. Enjoy!!! read more

Wow is an understatement! Got the 8oz roll and it was worth every dollar. No filler light mayo custom bun. The sweetest lobster meat money can buy! A must when in Ogunquit. Good luck parking. read more

Lobster rolls, hot dogs an fries ... Oh my. They will custom make your roll fresh - and fresh is what the lobster is caught that morning by the owner. It is suppose the be the best "lobsta" roll in Maine and I can see why. The hot dog was soooo good, as were the fries - what I could get wrenching them from the kids. My son had the grilled cheese and liked it(and he is hard to impress). No restaurant or real place to sit - just a shack of awesomeness! Blink or sneeze and you might miss it ... so don't or you will be kicking yourself! read more

I've had lobster rolls at almost all the immediate places in the area and HANDS DOWN this is my favorite. Just tons of juicy fresh meat on a delicious buttery toasted bun. You can get it hot or cold with mayo or butter. Personally I like my meat warm with drawn butter. Fish and chips were also awesome and super fresh. The lobster melt is just naughty and indulgent. Lobster BLT is a winner as well. Make sure to grab a Lemonade - super yummy too! Snag a picnic table Down by the boat dock and enjoy!!! read more

Little stand with a small menu. Tasty lobster roll with butter, mayo or both. Perfectly toasted New England style bun.

Never having a lobster roll before but was told when you are in New England you have to have one. Paid $26 for chunks of chewy meat. Was expecting a lot more. read more

Fresh lobster because it comes from their own catch. Best lobster roll we had in this area! Very delicious with cold or hot options, you can get with mayo or butter. They also serve fries as a side, not packed chips. Their bread is homemade and very delicious, tastes like brioche. Also very kind crew and quick service. There can be a line but it goes quickly. Totally recommend it! read more

No brainer. 2 lobsters for $19. We got 4. Service is really friendly and 15 minutes later we were chowing down on lobsters picked hours ago from the shores if Maine. If you don't come here, you are probably an idiot or don't like lobster. read more

Pretty good seafood they have here. A lot of visitors to Perkins Cove go for The Lobster Shack or Barnacle Billy's which result in long lines. Foot Bridge flies under their radar so it's pretty easy to get your food quickly here. The most popular thing are the lobster rolls, and what's nice is that they ask you how you want it made - plain, cold with mayo, or with hot butter. The cashier's recommendation to everyone who asked was to get it with butter. As a side, they have the best fries that I've had in Maine. Clam chowder here is pretty solid as well. An annoyance I had was the guy who was working at the counter was super nice to everyone except me, for no apparent reason. I believe he said he was the father of the fisherman, so I'm not sure if he's the owner or the owner's father. He was very engaging with all the other customers in front of me, happily answering all their questions and offering them recommendations. But when he served me seemed to want to move on as quickly as he could. Then with the next customer he went back to his cheerful demeanor. FYI to anyone looking for parking at Perkins Cove - just avoid it completely and park for free further out and walk in. It's not that far of a walk and you can save yourself the headache of circling around looking for expensive parking. read more

The service was extremely welcoming and the lobster roll was amazing. The bread was beautiful and buttery and the hot butter and mayo on the fresh main lobster just absolutely hit the spot. read more

Visiting from CA and wanted to try famous Maine lobster. Originally went to Lobster Shack but a couple was policing the line outside while I made my way to the bathroom. Psssh who are you? It left a bad taste in my bf and I's mouth, enough to rethink the sign we saw right next door for Foot Bridge on the way to the shack: "2 for 1 1lb lobster with corn for $17.95." Again, I looked at the policing couple and the sign outside from Lobster Shack which touted $22 for 2 lobsters. Well, I can do math, I know $17.95 is less than $22. Plus we didn't want the sides for the extra few bucks, we just wanted the lobster. With the skeevy vibe from the couple, we shuffled over to Foot Bridge just as they were closing. In a classic New England accent, the gentleman working asks the lady in the kitchen "You got time for 2 bogos or that'll take too long?" Fingers crossed, she says, "I got it." YES! He asks, "How many you want? 2 bogos so 4 lobsters?" YES PLEASE!!! SOOOO HAPPY we ended up trying this. Killer price, fresh authentic lobster and the staff were phenomenal: great service and attitude. I ended up in Connecticut (on my way to D.C.) telling a lady about our trip for Maine lobster, specifically recommended this place and she wrote it down. I hope she visits, they deserve the business. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Maine! read more

One of the best lobster rolls I've had yet. Offered hot or cold with mayo or butter, brioche style split-top hot dog roll grilled with butter. No lettuce, no fillers. A walk up stand with no seating but worth it. Great scenery all around. The chowder was also on point, served hot and seasoned perfectly. read more

Not only excellent but such nice service too! Highly recommend! Delicious Maine experience

The food was good. The beer was kinda warm. You don't get much for how expensive it is. It's a hard spot for seating. Definitely a beautiful area though with a lot of cute shops around it. read more

Good but The Trap 50 feet away was better and had a nice place to sit down with a great view. The chowder at Footbridge was mostly potatoes with an occasional clam! The traps was way better! read more

Lobster roll with melted butter with a touch of hot sauce was sooo good! Had the lobster warmed up. The clam chowder again with some hot sauce was so comforting! read more

Home of the 5oz lobster roll indeed. This place stacks the meat on. Served however you want it. Only downside is that there's no place to eat it. Would def come back read more

Footbridge Lobster - Do you like that Daddy? - Seafood Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

Hands down the best lobster roll i've had. Stuffed with fresh sweet lobster- a winner!

This was my first lobster roll ever, and it turns out this roll is the pinnacle of the form. Every other roll since had not held up in comparison to this first one. First, there was so much meat you can't even eat it like a roll at first--you have to thin it out a little by eating some lobster. Then, the meat is perfectly juicy and tender--and well flavored. Finally, the roll is toasted to golden brown and has just a hint of butter. Sides: The cole slaw is crunchy and fresh. The fries are hand cut and very potato-y, though totally lacking in salt. Good to know: Takeout only, but there are benches nearby right on the shore. There's also a beautifully clean public restroom nearby. Parking is AWFUL and will make you want to throw in the towel before you even get the roll--but stick it out! read more

Just stopped by for a hot lobster roll with butter. First time my 15yo son tried lobster. Loved it! Tender and sweet! This was a must try recommendation by friends. I highly recommend this place too! Would love to go back and try the clam chowder and clams. read more

What else can I say but what has already been said. Yummy lobster roll if that's your thing. Very friendly lady working when my wife and I were there. No line, which was nice. read more

Yum yum yum!! First of all, really hard to mess up fresh lobster. This little lobster stand is at the tip of Perkins Cove, past all the fancy restaurants and right next to the lobsterman parking lot and across from a cute draw bridge that looks out onto the water. The surroundings are picturesque and the little lobster stand is a no frills place to get great lobster at a great price. We got the buy one get one free deal (yep!), which ended up being $20 for two lobsters (1lb each) that came with a bite (literally) of Cole slaw or fries (which I wish we had gotten instead). The lobsters are boiled for you and the shell is so soft you don't need anything other than your hands to eat the whole thing. The lobsters are on the smaller end, and come with a little cup of butter to make the lobsters even more delicious. Fresh fresh lobster, caught right there and boiled to yummy perfection, at a price that can really only be found in Maine, the land of lobsters :) would definitely come again! read more

Holy lobster roll!!! Everywhere in Maine advertises "the best lobster roll in town." Foot Bridge Lobster absolutely lives up to this standard! 5oz of lobster on top of a perfect buttery roll. I asked for "light on the mayo" and there was barely any dressing, which made it absolutely perfect. No added fillers, no veggies, just straight up lobstah! And the lobster isn't chopped as a way to sneak in leg meat. It was all huge claw and tail pieces, mostly whole taken directly out of the shell. I had to eat 2 layers of lobster before I could even try to eat it as a sandwich. Perfection. I also had a lobster blt (when in rome), and it was great. A little heavy on the mayo, but I would tell them next time to go lighter. My husband had the swordfish sandwich twice and also enjoyed it. 1 star for the mayonnaisey coleslaw, but not coming here for the sides. read more

We stumbled upon Footbridge Lobster during our 2012 trip to Maine. We had fallen in love instantly, our favorite lobster roll of the whole trip. During that trip, we ended up going twice during our three days in Maine and knew it would be a stop whenever we came back to Maine. Footbridge Lobster is a tiny shack that is located right next to The Lobster Shack in Perkins Cove which is a quaint area of Ogunquit, Maine. Since we had dinner plans, we decided to split one lobster roll on our first visit. We couldn't quite remember what we had gotten the last time but had thought it was a lobster roll with light mayo ($15.95). All lobster rolls come with cole slaw, which is a nice change from the usual chips (or nothing!). After a short wait we were presented with a lobster roll with huge chunks of lobster, lightly dressed in mayo, and placed in a buttered and grilled bun. Sadly, it wasn't as good as we remembered. While there was a ton of lobster meat, the meat was chewy and flavorless. The mayo was so light that it was pretty much non-existent. The cole slaw was sweet and crunchy and was the highlight of the meal. We were really disappointed that the lobster roll wasn't as good as we remembered. On our last day in Maine, we decided we had to give Footbridge Lobster another shot since we had loved it so much in 2012. Thus, we chalked it up to being late in the day or an off day and went back to try it again. We decided on two lobster rolls for breakfast (yes, why not?) and went with one with butter and one with mayo. I had remembered that the previous year the accompaniment had been potato salad. We talked with the people running the shack and they shared that they didn't have it this year. Sad, that potato salad was quite good but the cole slaw was a good substitute. Maybe next summer the potato salad will be back? :) Now, this is what we remembered. Both lobster rolls were absolutely fantastic. The meat was perfectly cooked - sweet and and so tender - and there was a ton of large chunks of meat. We both agreed that we prefer the roll with mayo over the one with butter; but, the meat in both rolls was absolute perfection. They also have punch cards. Buy 10 lobster rolls, get the 11th free! Best lobster roll in Maine? When Footbridge Lobster is on point, we love their lobster rolls. After eating at a multitude of places in Maine, I would say Footbridge Lobster and Bite Into Maine are tied for the best lobster rolls in Maine. Large, fresh chunks of sweet lobster perfectly cooked in a toasted and buttered bun. Maine, we love you. read more

We paused for a minute trying to decide between Footbridge Lobster and the Lobster Shack (Food Wars episode?). We made the right choice with Footbridge. The lobster rolls are made fresh to order, and to your specifications. You can choose mayo, butter, or plain with either mayo or butter on the side. There was probably a whole lobster there, and the chunks were big and identifiable. You know you're eating a claw or the tail, it's all there. I had the mayo, it was delicious and the mayo was very light and not overwhelming. My Wife had the butter, and it was the same. The lobster is definitely the main focus of this lobster roll. You get your choice of a side of chips or cole slaw. We both opted for the cole slaw, which was very good, but beware it is sweetened. On the side we had an order of fries, which was good as well. The biggest issue was the seating, as there is none. Luckily we managed to get a bench right under the Footbridge, so we had a good spot to avoid the sun and enjoy our lobster roll. There are plenty of other benches around to eat, but they were all in the sun. The lobster roll at Footbridge is a great reward after walking the Marginal Way from Ogunquit Beach and good fuel for the trek back. read more

Back for another visit in Ogunquit, and it appears that in the past year, a lot has changed at Footbridge. Yes, the location is the same, as are the people. But there have been a few changes for this season, and I'm afraid not for the better. The good news is that the lobster rolls remain the best in Ogunquit. They're more expensive this year, but they remain piled high with fresh lobster. As long as this never changes, they'll keep my business. But, there are a few other staples of the place that don't fare as well. For one is their lobster dinner. It used to be 2 for $9.99, and climbed to 2 for $12.99 last year. Still reasonable. Now it's $15.95 for a ONE pound lobster, buy one get one free. There are much better values to be had in town. The other disappointing change is the breakfast sandwich. This used to be an awe-inspiring pile of egg and lobster on a fantastic biscuit. Now, it's an overdone fried egg with a dab of cheese and some lobster on a piece of toast. Honestly, it's so close to the grilled cheese, getting the breakfast sandwich doesn't make a lot of sense. I've also been perturbed by how many times several parts of my orders were not taken, or were missing from the order. All I can say is check your receipt and check your bags before you take off. Footbridge is still a great place to get lobster, but a lot of what made it such a great value seems to have slipped away, and it threatens to make this just another lobster shack instead of THE place to go when in Ogunquit. read more
