    Lobster roll
    Garlic G.

    Delicious seafood prepared simply. The fried pollock was tender, tasty, and thinly battered. The shrimp was small but juicy, and not over fried. My husband got the lobster roll and it looked great. We hoped to get another taste on our way out of town but sadly the timing wasn't right. Would love to come back!

    The best lobster rolls we've had in Maine. * Amount of lobster for the price was very reasonable. * Taste and texture of the lobster was perfect. It was fresh, sweet, tender, and a nice variety of pieces. * Preparation of both butter and mayo (but very light amounts) along with drawn butter on the side was delicious. Butter griddled bun left nothing to be desired. * Margaret was sweet and charming and smiling. You won't get the waterfront location like a few of the top rated places we tried on our trip, but these lobster rolls were definitely better.

    The best cold Lobster Roll I've had in Maine. So yummy. We also had the Shrimp Basket. Small shrimp but super tasty. Little random spot making some amazing great eats.

    Absolutely delicious ! Everything was so fresh and a great portion for the price :) one of the best on the coast

    I saw rave reviews on this place but honestly was a bit disappointed. It was very good but there are others in the area that are better. Service was wonderful the folks running this could not be nicer.

    Prices for lobster are high summer of 2021 but the value here is much better than what you get elsewhere.

    Draft Best lobster rolls and value to be found! Recommended to us by local friends. Prices have increased everywhere but still a relative bargain at $23 for a generous sized lobster roll full of massive chunks of lobster. Order and pick up at window. Picnic tables with umbrellas for safe, distanced outdoor seating and some additional chairs and tables in the shade. I could go back every day! There is an antique shop attached that is open if staffing allows.

    Best lobster roll and haddock we had in Maine. $10 less than other places too. Outside of what we caught ourselves!. Huge and filling shrimp basket the kids inhaled. Great spot with picnic tables and space for the dog to run also.

    Wow! Came up to Maine from North Carolina for my birthday and have had 4 lobster rolls so far. Margaret's is hands down the best so far! Perfect combination of sauce! Even served with clarified butter! Well done!

You would struggle to find a cafe or restaurant with a better view, as this looks out over a harbor that is basically what you'd picture in your head for being in Maine. The menu included buckwheat crepes both sweet and savory and some gelato, so I indulged and got a crepe with gelato on the side. Even the sweet crepes use a buckwheat base, which I liked. The earthy flavor makes a useful contrast with the sweetness. Their house caramel sauce was buttery and toasty in flavor and combined well with bananas, so say nothing of the smooth stracciatella gelato I mixed with it. I couldn't have asked for much more.

    I get nervous when I hear about a gelato shop. Am I *really* going to get gelato? The kind I've…read morefawned over in Europe? The reviews and mission at Freya's appeared promising, so I decided to give it a go, especially since the product is made in-house. Unfortunately for our group of four, there was only one flavor of gelato left an hour before closing time (and good for Freya's). My spouse went for that gelato--coffee--while the rest of our group went the sorbetto route. There were four flavors remaining: strawberry, passionfruit, guava, and lime + jasmine. I had tastes of everything, including the gelato. Sorbetto-wise, I was especially impressed with the strawberry, and the passionfruit was a close second. My only nit pick is that the guava was icier than the other three sorbettos, but the flavor was still punchy and refreshing. As for the gelato, it was European quality. Huzzah! I was so mad that I hadn't gone earlier in the day for more of a gelato selection. That taste of coffee really left a good impression. I'm thrilled to report that the folx at Freya's know what they're doing with their gelato and sorbettos. If you're snobby about your gelato, rest assure! You'll be really happy at Freya's.

    The #1 best value lobster roll in the State of Maine, conveniently located along Route 1. An easy…read morestop on the way up or down the coast. Not just an easy stop, but a must stop! Get there early and you will probably see lobstermen unloading crates of lobster from the nearby harbor. It's not waterfront, but in the late fall you can see the bay through the trees after the leaves fall! Bonus! We ordered a traditional Maine style mayo lobster roll and a buttered lobster roll for comparison. The traditional Maine style mayo lobster roll was absolutely perfect! Just enough mayo to bind the fresh, plump, tender sweet cold water lobster meat. Oh and no fillers, just lobster meat (mostly tender sweet knuckle/claw meat, mmmmm) and just the right amount of mayo. Same for buttered lobster roll, just the right amount of clarified butter as a binder. No need to overpower the fresh delicate flavor of tender cold water lobster from Maine waters. Both lobster rolls were presented on an over stuffed buttered and grilled hot dog style roll. Plated with fresh, hot ,skin on shoestring fries and some house made slaw. Delicious! Both rolls perfect! Hard to tell which one we liked better. Maybe slight advantage to the traditional mayo style, just cause thats the way we like it. If you cant decide, We recommend you get one of each, split with a friend, and judge for yourself. Either way you wont be dissapointed. The Bayside store is not just a lobster roll place. Its a great old world style small market with something for everyone. You can get just about anything from breakfast, to a burger, to fresh house made soup, to a great selection of local craft beers! As soon as you walk in through the swinging screen door you feel automatically welcome. Seems like the place where there is always fresh hot coffee on and friendly staff to greet you. There are relaxing benches and some hightop counters to relax and enjoy your meal or a cup of coffee. Weather permitting, there is also casual and comefortable outside seating. Oh and the staff was so pleasant and welcoming. Makes you want to come back and be a regular! Highly recommended! 5+++++ We will return! Again and Again!

Our order took over 30 minutes to prepare. Someone ordered two subs after us and were told it would be 1 hr and 15 minutes. There is definitely a more efficient way to run the kitchen. Used to be one of our absolute favorite places to go. I hope the new owners can figure it out so they can keep this place going.
