    Scallups and lobster roll
    Jim A.

    We stopped there for lunch the other day. You walk up to the counter and order and pay your food, and then sit at a table where they bring you your order. I got the warm lobster roll with butter. You have your choice of 3oz ($28 dollars) or 6oz ($54 dollars). I personally think this is expensive. I thought the lobster was very good. I did not like the fact that for a side they gave you chips. Seriously, you can do better than that. But the lobster did taste very good.

    One of the best fried haddock and fries I've had since london. The unsung hero of the dish though are the pickles. Honestly, if they sold the pickles by the jar, I'd get 5.... I am also not a huge pickle person. Even the onions with the pickles are scrumptious. I also got another lobster roll and didn't disappoint, although I asked for no old bay.

    I havent had a really good lobster roll in a while but this place delivered. Flavorful lobster, right amount of dressing (did cold mayo) and perfectly prepared brioche bun. 3 and 6 Oz options available. They serve other lobster related items and offer wine beer and cider. Ill be back!

    Our family enjoyed lobster rolls and fried haddock during a July 2026 visit to Maine. It's right over the NH border in Kittery and is worth the short drive just past the outlets. We were traveling with our miniature poodle and appreciated the picnic tables in the open, grassy area on the back side of the cozy restaurant. Service was outstanding - I picked up a restaurant buzzer after placing our family's order and paying at the front register. If you're visiting Maine, this is a great place to experience lobster rolls or fried haddock in Kittery! Afterwards, it's a short drive to York, ME where you visit the Nubble Lighthouse.

    Great find on the kitery line The portion size and value line up The food is the star. The gluten free is awesome fresh and you would not know....that good .friendly helpful staff A win for sure. So good

    GF fried clams, homemade fries. Beet salad. Scallops with homemade fries.

    Great staff, great food! And they have the best gluten free fried clams. Not greasy at all compared to the other fried seafood establishments nearby. Talked with Jason, the owner, who let us know he uses a blend of garbanzo bean flour, rice flour and cornstarch. Such a GF hidden gem for those with celiac in southern Maine. Scallops were so fresh and the haddock chowder was 10/10! We will start becoming regulars now!

    This was the best lobster roll on my trip to Maine. It was close to my hotel and delicious. The service was quick and the brought the food to my seat on their patio. They add old bay to their fries and lobster rolls. It was buttery and wonderful. It was a nice day so I sat outside this was a great place and wonderful first lobster roll of the trip.

    Food was fresh and well cooked but some key details got in the way of a better experience. First - let's talk about seasoning. Old Bay is fine but it was sprinkled on everything we ordered - the clam chowder, the French fries, the fish, the sandwich. This made everything taste similar and it covered up the freshness of the seafood. The chowder was nice and thin but the potatoes were not cooked all the way and there was but one clam in the entire bowl. Fish sandwich and fish and chips were well cooked and very fresh. The tartar sauce was full of fresh dill. No cole slaw served with either option was a disappointment. State Line is a welcome addition especially as New England Fishmongers recently closed in Kittery.

    On our drive to Boston Airport on the final day of our trip, we wanted to get some true Maine lobster rolls. Originally, we were skeptical of the Price (278 dollars for four rolls, truffle fries, and clam strips). However, when the food was brought out to us, we understood why. The lobster rolls were 6 ounces and they were piled high with enough lobster to seem as though multiple lobsters had gone into one roll, and they were spectacular. Additionally, the service was excellent and the place had some great vibes with a family friendly atmosphere.

    Fish tacos, combo platter which came with fried clams, lobster rolls, chowder (not shown), and I upgraded to truffle fries instead of chips.

    Casual seafood joint serving up fresh Maine lobster rolls. Their menu offers some combo meals which is great for someone who may want to try multiple items. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and the staff are super nice. You order at the counter and then they will bring the food out to you. There is complimentary water, and even a small bar for a couple cocktails. Their fried seafood is lightly battered and comes out fresh and tender. There is no old oil smell or look which is great. Be aware on the weekends they tend to close early due to selling out. It's a top rated spot for good reason. Would definitely come again. One draw back was my friend's fish tacos didn't have much flavor, and the chowder was more herbal forward versus a classic NE chowder style. I also didn't care for the Old Bay seasoning they sprinkled on both the chowder and lobster rolls. Aside from that, it's a great spot and the staff were super friendly!

    This was my favorite meal over my ten day tour of the Northeast coast! No doubt, nothing else held a candle to it. We had a fancy pants dinner in Cambridge, we had a Yelp Top 100 pizza in Boston, as well as The Bostonian and Tin Pier in Tea-Town as well. I waited in line for Red's for two hours based on multiple recommendations and nothing we got there was even a portion of how tremendous this place was. There were a couple places in New Hampshire that got pretty close, but overall this was the best. From the funny ass unsweet tea jar to the clam strips, everything was delightful! The clam chowder was good. It was topped with Old Bay seasoning that makes for a different kind of flavor. It's was noticeably thin though, buts still tasty nonetheless. The lobster roll was perfect. Warm, buttery, well seasoned, with a perfectly toasted spit top bun. I am not sure what was up with all of the pickles on the side, but at least they did not taint my roll with their nasty juices. C's clam strips were the best that I have ever had. She orders them a lot and they are always little trash strips out of a frozen food bag. Not here man! These things were freshly sliced clams! The homemade French fries were just the icing on the cake. All in all, superb meal! I wish that I lived closer so I could partake in the lobster roll once a week man. It's sooooo good!! I would bet what you order will be good too! Message me and let me know if you like it! I need a reason to get back!! '25 - 113/111

    Stopped by to get a to-go order of lobster and artichoke dip. The owner, Jason, introduced himself to me and we chatted. Super friendly guy! The restaurant is a good size, there is ample parking and it has a cozy atmosphere. Took my order home and I was not disappointed. Nice chunks of lobster mixed with artichoke and some wonderful cheese. The tortilla chips were bite size and perfect - homemade, to boot! Absolutely delicious - I will definitely be going back!

And they have the displays to match. On this partly cloudy afternoon, I was in search of lobster tails. Upon requesting them, I discovered two things.. 1.) Unfortunately, the tails offered are not very big. Near as I can figure, they come in packs of 3 of what appear to be around 5 ounces each. 2.) Lobster really IS more affordable if you buy it in Maine. For context, a standard two pack of lobster tails at 5 ounces each (or sometimes 4oz) costs me around $25 in NH at the time of writing this review. The 3 pack of the same size tails costs the same price here at Taylor. So, naturally I bought two of those and ultimately nabbed a little under 2 pounds of lobstah for a mere $50. Sufficed to say - we will most certainly return at a future date. I have my eyes set on the fresh lobster meat next. As mentioned, everything in the glass display looked delicious. The place is easy enough to find. Just be aware their entrance is actually not in the front of the building, but on the right hand side. It's a little confusing at first, especially considering the tiny street view sign doesn't help much. If you drive into the "boat drop off" section, you're on the wrong side. Other items I wouldn't mind trying next visit are their lobster bisque and clam chowder. If you're coming across the border as I do, one pro tip I'd offer is to bring a cooler to keep your produce in for the day as you travel back. We transported the lobstah back in my car on an 85 degree day and the gel ice packs kept everything cold enough not to oxidize. Definitely check this place out for all your fresh seafood needs. The locals have spoken and I agree; Taylor Lobster Company is worth 5 fresh, buttery lobstah tails charred on the grill out of 5.

After eating this, we would certainly believe it! For the main dish, I ordered pan-seared diver scallops. It had a bacon jam on top of it, and it was excellent. For dessert, we ordered the blueberry lemon bread pudding. I'm usually not much of a bread pudding guy, but this was also delicious. While we've given it a 5 star rating, we do have a criticism, and that is with regard to their bathrooms. Specifically, there was ONLY ONE unisex bathroom on the main floor! Maybe there is another one downstairs, but we were shocked there was only one for the entire main floor dining area. We didn't have a problem that night, because it wasn't very crowded when we were there, but if it was crowded...

They serve various size of lobsters as well as cook them for you. However they do not provide place to eat or utensils so they function more as a market than a restaurant. They have sort of a parking lot where you can park. There are few works on the back hanging around and 2 younger staff that take care of orders. Lobster has quite few size options and some explanations for terms they use. We weren't sure what to get but figure we wanted larger size lobsters. SLX which is the largest ones were $14 per pound. They can also let you pick them live as well but we chose 2 lb ones. They charge $1.5 to boil but it's a-lot of work to boil properly so it's worth it. We waited about 20-25minutes or so and they also chilled it so that we can take it home to eat. Luckily we had ice box with some ice packs so it kept the lobster fresh until getting home. Once we got home we opened the bag to eat the lobster. It's a huge lobster with large claws. We got a large bowl and separate plate to eat. It was a massive task to crack the claws as one of the claw was huge and very tough. We ended up using a hammer and dull knife to crack them open. The meat was tender and sweet. One of the best maine lobster we had. Overall the place provides fresh maine lobster for good price. Only issue is that they don't serve it so you will need to plan to take it home and have tools to crack them open. They also only take cash. If i were to come back i would give them a call a head of time to have the lobster prepared to go and pick them up which seems to be what other people were doing.

We brought plenty of local beers and a couple of cans of premixed cocktails.
