    Look!!  Oxymoron Tea!!!
    Adam H.

    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

    Do yourself a favor and drive another 1.5 miles north on Route 1 and stop here. This is the quintessential Maine Lobstah Roll, trust me, I am a native. Walk-in, place your order, and hang out. If it is warm enough, try some of the outdoor seating. Wicked Good!

    Absolutely AMAZING Lobster!!! We were so hungry we started eating before I could even take the pics! The pictures don't really do them justice but the pile of lobster in the 6oz sandwiches was incredibly good!!! The staff was also great, so welcoming and friendly!!! Cute little lowkey place, sure to become a favorite for anyone that visits!!!!

    It was Taco Tuesday. I had Lobster tempura and a wonder crispy crab taco.

    Creative and delicious! Excellent service. Ambiance is standard. If I wasn't working, I would have had a third taco which comes with a Margarita! Very recommended.

    Outstanding! Phenomenal! Can we make it 6 stars?!?!? This was not just the best meal of my trip, but it was the best Lobster Roll of my life!!!!! (And I've had so many all over New England!). Everything was delicious and fresh and flavorful! The staff were wonderful! The nautical vibe of this cozy little spot was super too! I just loved everything about it! A must return! ASAP!!!!!

    Everything we purchased:  - Two 6oz lobster rolls  - Two fries  - Two shakes

    We were running errands in NH and on the way back up, we stopped at State Line Lobster to get a late lunch. Out of all the lobster places, skip this one. The ratings on here must be from out of staters or something. But for the price point, I was pretty disappointed. All in was $142 for two 6oz, two fries, two shakes. The lobster rolls had decent flavor but the meat was realllly chewy (meaning it was overcooked). The fries were not good (I ate 3-4 and threw the rest out). The chocolate milkshake made with custard was decent but the maple milkshake tasted like artificial flavoring and was a complete sugar bomb - too sweet, we threw it out as well. I will say the service was very polite, kind, and positive. With so many good options, not sure I'd do this one again :(

    Brussel sprouts and taco Tuesday special. Three corn tacos, blackened lobster claw, fried halibut and grilled swordfish, all were delicious
    Pam C.

    Great place for lobster rolls and more! The food was delicious. We had lobster rolls two ways. They're made to order so I asked for less mayo than usual and it was perfect, lots of lobster and the bread very tasty. My husband had it with butter and it was a little too much. Maybe some people like it that way but the bread was soaked. The chips accompany the rolls well. We highly recommend the cheddar corn pie and Brussel sprouts, both were amazing! Also great was the homemade lemonade and sweet tea. The decor is nice and the place is clean and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Will definitely stop in again and again.

    Nice stop for quick lunch away from the tourist restaurants. I had mussels and wife had haddock tacos, both had great flavor. The service was exceptional and they really wanted us to have a great experience as we did.

    Lobster rolls and chowder were delicious. Everything was fresh and well done. Our server was kind and helpful.

    Wow! State Line surpassed all expectations for us! Jason has created the perfect seafood oasis right on Route 1 in Kittery. The menu is the right balance of traditional Maine eats along with curated modern choices that reflect the creativity and culinary depth of the owner. The location is perfect! Pop just outside the "shopping zone" and choose from a mix of yard, deck or inside seating. The vibe is welcoming and warm with Anna, Connor, and Danny all pitching in to create an atmosphere of collaborative service. We couldn't pass up the lobster rolls and chowder, but we'll be back because we have about 20 other things we need to try now!

    Tons of locals seem to rate this business in extremely high regards and I can see why. You walk in…read moreand are immediately greeted with the pleasant smell of fresh seafood. 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.

The blueberry first was so good - Rich deep flavor and one of the best desserts I've ever had - and I've been all over the world during the last 50 years. The raspberry cake was excellent too - a fresh raspberry flavor with hints of vanilla.

The beans are really good. But the onion rings were my favorite. I think they were some of the best onion rings I've had.

And...their BYOB policy means you can bring a nice bottle of Chardonnay to pair with your lobster (which was exactly what we did). The menu is standard lobster house - whole lobster, lobster rolls, clam chowder, etc. I ordered at the counter and paid. The clerk was friendly, helpful and efficient. We had a picnic table by the water. The place wasn't crowded for late lunch. Some guest brought table cloths and flowers for their tables. Classic rock played over speakers. The Clam Chowder came out quickly as I sipped my wine. The chowder was thick with lots of large chunks of clam. The soup was absolutely delicious. I had a Lobster Roll, which was served on a soft hamburger-style bun. The lobster was tender, fresh and perfectly cooked. The sandwich was served with chips that were too salty for me. My cousin had a tuna roll, which was packed with creamy tuna. As we sat on the dock, a fisherman delivered fresh bass to the restaurant. Tanks of live lobster are in a small building so you can select a lobster to go. The parking is really limited. But you can drive up on your boat if you want. There are some hefty stairs to climb.
