    Award winning LOBSTAH roll!
    Carly R.

    Great friendly service and conversation with the owner and our lobster roll came out quickly too. Simplicity truly is the best. This roll is the epitome of that statement. Few ingredients, treated just right culminates into perfection. Now, I've yet to go to Maine...but I've never had a better lobster roll. I can definitely see why they were chosen as the BEST in New Hampshire. You gotta stop here.

    An amazing turkey and cheese sandwich! The turkey is carved and very good meat! Nice and moist and just delicious flavor! Everyone else I was with also loved their sandwich. All around freaking delicious! Fun thing! You order your sandwich at the window in front, then you pay inside. Well if you go quick enough or if people are behind you, when you get inside they send your order flying overhead back to the kitchen to be made! So fun to watch! There is also a convenience store inside where we found a maple sap soda! It was delicious! Slightly sweet, bubbly and a hint of maple! Not to mention it is good for your gut!

    So delicious. Went with my mom and sister to hike the Flume and grabbed this for lunch after. These came out quick and were so tasty. The bread was awesome and they have a bunch of fun mustard flavors like maple. Cute benches to sit in the sun and eat.

    Absolutely the best shop in Lincoln! I ordered the turkey and avocado- then added bacon and tomato. You MUST get the multigrain bread and the maple basil mustard- you won't regret it! The service was fantastic and the guy working was kind in conversation! All of their products are fresh and organic... and you can taste the freshness! visit the shop inside as well!!

    A fantastic place in Lincoln - fun shop with organic produce and lots of unique groceries, sauces, salsa, etc. You order and eat outside while they zip line your order to the back. The Lobster Roll is excellent! Light Mayo and a perfectly grilled bun = how it ought to be!!! I had a special - Lobster BLT which was one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten!!!!!!!! Freshest lettuce and tomato, a 1/4 pound of Lobster on multigrain toast ... it was truly sublime!!! We bought chips and drinks in the store to accompany the sandwiches and ate outside on a gorgeous September day. The couple running it could not have been more friendly and accommodating. A perfect lunch!!

    [982] 7/2019 Plenty of strip mall parking. This establishment seems to have two locations kind of next to each other.. well sort of. The one location was larger with seating but the other location had the prepared foods. We ordered meals to go (sandwiches .. lobster roll.. etc). All the food was tasty as we had it for dinner at home. The store had an amazing selection of healthier organic type foods. This is the store you go to when you can't find something at the local market. I picked up a variety of special chips and snacks. Some cool items were butternut squash pretzels and koreal bbq chips along with herbal corn. This place is great and I wish I lived closer. I would definitely be back.

    Amazing lobster rolls, delicious BLTs, and my 5yo requested their grilled cheese for lunch three days in a row which is the kid version of a Michelin star .

    The Purple Tomato is a cute little mini market that offers unique sandwiches, prepared behind-the-counter food (needs visible labels and prices), hard-to-find ingredients and a plethora of snacks. It's located in a plaza with parking big lot and other stores to shop around. This is one of the spots I have to stop by for goodies when we're hitting the road, on our way back home. Beef Jerky- I forgot the name of the jerky I got but it was sweet chili flavor and definitely wasn't a common brand. I try to rummage for beef jerky from shops like these everywhere I go. Overall Service: Very friendly folks. I'm sure I'll be back again and next time, I'll give their sandwiches a go.

    Hidden gem on Main St. Lobster roll was very good. Shared a grilled cheese which was very good. Service and atmosphere are great.

    Lobster roll was good, but small for the price. They have some healthy snacks and goodies in the shop section and a nice sale section.

    I loved this burger restaurant. Our waitress was really kind and happy to answer questions. I'm…read moregluten free, and this turned out to be a great place for me to eat. I ordered the veggie burger with a gluten-free bun, and the bun was toasted perfectly. The waitress also proactively mentioned that while the fries are not made with gluten ingredients, they are cross contaminated, which I really appreciated. Because of that, I switched to a side salad with balsamic dressing instead. All the salad dressings are all gluten free, and there were several other gluten-free options on the menu. For dessert, I got a gluten-free and vegan carrot cake slice. The atmosphere inside was cozy and had a brewery-like, outdoorsy feel. Overall, it was a really comfortable and stress free dining experience, especially as someone who is gluten-free and vegetarian.

    This is my favorite spot for a post-hike meal. They consistently have delicious hazy IPAs on tap,…read moreand the sweet potato fries are a must. Seriously, get the sweet potato fries. I've had a couple burgers that didn't quite hit for me, but overall they're very solid. The cowboy burger with candied jalapeños is a standout and my recommendation. And very importantly, they actually cook the burger how you order it! The wait can get long, so come prepared. They do have an online waitlist, which helped a lot on my last visit. Service can be a little slow, but friendly. And the vibes are relaxed and perfect for unwinding after a hike.
