Some of the best lobster I've had in Portland. It's a very chill, retro vibe, and though seating may take a while on busy nights, you can also order takeout (and merch) from the left-side area. The restaurant is larger than it looks since there's a second seating area too. I'd recommend the Flight of mini lobster rolls (3x 2oz lobster rolls), which can be chilled or warmed. Prices are fair, at about $20 a lobster roll. Their ghee butter add another level to their lobster rolls and they don't skimp on meat! Definitely try out the Highroller and maybe get some of their iconic merch. read more

Food: Top quality fresh lobster! Self service concept makes things easy. Delicious side sauces! Jalapeño mayo was my fave. Hubby enjoyed the charred pineapple mayo. Ambiance: fun, low key, clean read more

When me and my friend walked up, they said a table would be an hour so we opted for take-out. However, the table ended up taking just 30 minutes, so if you really want a table, I would say it could be worth waiting. We ended up taking out order to a park nearby that had benches so it worked out. Me and my friend shared a flight, where it included 3 lobster rolls with 2 oz. of lobster and we chose the jalapeño mayo, lime mayo, and lobster ghee ones. My favorite one was probably the jalapeño mayo because I loved the kick, but all three were delicious. I would definitely recommend getting the flight since the rolls are smaller and you get to try the different sauces. read more

Buttery lobster grilled cheese, oozing with comfort and cheese, and an incredible potato salad. It's the kind of meal you have once, are glad you had it, but don't need to get it again. The secret to no wait is get takeout and have your food in 10 minutes. We ate it in the park and it was great lunch before exploring. read more

This place was so good! It was very busy and I can see why. I had the lobster soup and it wasn't your traditional lobster bisque, it was more of a butternut squash soup and then big chunks of lobster in it. I would've never expected such a complimentary flavor of the two. The butternut squash soup was the right consistency and the lobster was so fresh and sweet. My friend also ate here and got a lobster roll sandwich. He said it was the best lobster roll sandwich he had ever eaten. The staff is very friendly. The ambience is fun and exciting. The service was excellent! I didn't sit in the restaurant and eat but just coming in the door I was greeted and even though they were busy, they asked me how they could help me. If you're looking for anything lobster, I highly recommend this restaurant! The staff is great. The ambience is exciting and the food is spectacular! read more

We were walking around Old Port and stopped to look at the menu. They weren't even open yet as it was about 10:45am. After a few minutes someone else walked up and asked if we were "in line". We decided we better eat there since it was so popular, by the time the doors opened there were about 30 of us waiting to get in! We had the fried Lobby (lobster corn dog), a trio of lobster rolls, fries, and a few beers. Everything was great. The fries are crispy sprinkled with old bay seasoning. Our favorite sauce for the lobster roll was the charred pineapple mayo. Definitely recommend! read more

This was the best lobster roll I've ever had by a million miles. Even as someone who didn't really love lobster, I loved the lobster roll with butter here. Is it an expensive tourist trap? Yes. Is it delicious? Yes. Would I go back? Yes. That's all I need to decide where I'm going. read more

Really really enjoyed my meal at The Highroller. First of all, love that they do lobster roll flights, and that they offer a variety of sizes. Whether you want something more traditional, or if you want to experiment with their various sauces, Highroller has got you covered. I ordered two minis, the warmed lobster ghee and the chilled mango habanero mayo. Both were excellent. I also got a few oysters which were also good. The meal was definitely pricey, because lobster rolls, but in my opinion, very much worth it. read more

We found The Highroller Lobster Co. right off Exchange Street while looking for something a little less traditional, and it absolutely delivered! I ordered the lobster roll with lemon, jalapeño mayo, and Old Bay, and it was amazing. It was fresh, flavorful, and a fun twist on the classic lobster roll. The staff were cool, the music was good, and the whole place had a fun, laid-back vibe. They also have a cool outdoor patio where you can hang out when the weather is warm. There's even an overflow area that gives everyone more room when it gets crowded. I honestly can't give this place enough stars. Definitely stop here if you're visiting Portland! read more

Came here for lunch. Got an 8 oz lobster roll for $57. It was pricy and just okay. There was a decent amount of lobster to bread ratio. Lobster was bland and needed some seasoning. Overall basically just wanted to try this since I was in ME. They had some nice outdoor seating with cool murals and lots of tables read more

Came here at the recommendation of a co-worker who lives in Maine and we had a good time here. We ordered via a QR code and things were pretty fast! Service was pretty friendly as well. The lobster roll was really good and fries were tasty too. We also ate a couple of Whoopie Pies and even got some to go. They were really good. There's a little merch store too so if you want a t-shirt, that's available too! read more

A super fun spot to try different types of lobster rolls -- got the flight and based on bartender recommendation, got the warm with butter and the cold with jalapeño mayo, and the cold with lime mayo.... all really great, the jalapeño cold mayo was our favorite!

The short wait was worth it for an absolutely scrumptious lobstah roll. We got the Classic regular size with drawn butter & garlic mayo on the side with a potato salad and a few cold beers.

I usually don't like cold lobster rolls, but these were fantastic and had a lot of lobster! read more

You possibly cannot go to Portland and not try a lobster roll flight at The Highroller. They had so many great flavors to choose from, and a flight always makes the most sense before committing to an entire roll! The ordering was easy, you do it all from your phone. I opted for a margarita and it was delicious! It was a lovely casual spot. The staff were very friendly. The lobster roll flight comes with 3 small rolls, and you can pick a different flavor for each one. We went for 2 chilled (garlic mayo and jalapeño mayo) and 1 warm (drawn butter). The garlic mayo was by-far my favorite. It was not overpowering like I would have expected. It was delicious. The jalapeño mayo roll had just the right amount of kick to it without being too spicy. And lastly, the drawn butter roll was classic. The lobster meat was fresh (duh, they probably got the lobsters out of the ocean that morning), and the flavoring options were the perfect touch. 5/5. read more

Good roll and glad we got it. Grabbed it and took it to the lighthouse for a snack. I probably wouldn't order the flight again and just stick with a regular roll. The portions were smaller per roll and the bun to lobster ratio was more bun heavy. Also having the mayo on top was annoying. Not sure why they don't do bun, mayo and then lobster. I think most of the mayo was smeared on my cheek when trying to take a bite. read more

While in town for work, I ended up visiting here twice. I had the lobster roll both times, first time the flight and then just butter the second time (my personal favorite, warmed too). This place was definitely very busy when I came on the weekend, but wasn't too bad for a later lunch on a week day. Service was great even when they were busy. I don't even know how big the restaurant was because I sat in the same part both times, but it seems pretty big and has an outdoor section in rhe back. When in Maine, I'll definitely be coming back here! Prices are steep, but lobster is not cheap anywhere. read more

WOWZA! Delicious lobster rolls! Jalapeño mayo out of this world. Opted for a hot roll and it did not disappoint. Fries were OK on the skinnier side wasn't in love with them. Service was great and we didn't have to wait for a table on a Friday around 1pm. Actually a large restaurant with plenty of inside and outside seating. Solid place when in Portland! read more

So so so good!! I had Highroller bookmarked for a while, but after seeing them recognized on The Food Network, I knew I had to get there asap! There is tons of seating, inside and out. And more than one way to order! You can scan the QR code, order with a server, or go up to the walk up window outside. The lobster was so good! The 2 oz lobster roll was over flowing with lobster. It may have been a mini roll, but I couldn't believe the amount of lobster! Def check this place out when in Maine! read more

Came here with a group of 6 on a weekend. We waited about 40 minutes to be seated. We were sat outside and it seemed very busy. You can either order online from the QR code or order with the wait staff. We decided to order on the QR code. We had the seafood tower and the lobster bisque. Also a few of us got the mini lobster rolls. The minis are nice if you want to try multiple things on the menu so we definitely appreciated that. Everything was very fresh! read more

This review is coming from someone who has never had a lobster roll before. I got the full size with the lime and jalapeño sauces and it was delicious. They are generous with the lobster and the sauce. I placed a takeout order online but you can also eat there but be prepared for a wait. Street parking in the area can be hit or miss (we went on a Sunday so we found free parking about a 4 minute walk to the restaurant). I recommend giving this place a try. read more

I like the ambiance of the place it's like a diner sort of vibe. I tried the lobster roll flight, my favorite was the lobster infused butter one.

There is a good amount of meat on the rolls though so that is appreciated, even got a couple claws read more

The Lobster roll from The Highroller is pretty up there! It's not the best I've had but it is very good. I guess I learned that I don't like mayo with the roll because it overpowers the flavor and this place specializes in sauces so of course I tried their mayo. I'm sure the classic butter on a roll would be just right. Potato salad was great though! And I love that they have a vast n/a drink options. A little something for everyone. The easy QR code ordering allows you to order on your own so you don't have to split the bill later. Much appreciated for those who come in a big group. Truly worth trying! read more

Highroller Lobster Co. was an awesome stop on our Portland trip. We got there around noon on Sunday or Labor Day weekend, and only had to wait a few minutes for a back patio table to open. They were super friendly and accommodating of our chocolate lab who joined us for lunch. They do counter-style ordering and if you're sitting you can do that or order online with a QR code. The food came out quickly and all of the staff were super friendly. We started off with some great drinks -- a pina colada and an Arnold Palmer (yum!). But on to the serious stuff -- the food. We ordered one 3-roll, 2 ounce lobster roll flight, another 2 ounce roll, a hot dog, a veggie hot dog, and a basket of fries. For the lobster rolls, we tried toppings of mango habanero (delicious, spicy), red pepper mayo (probably the best flavor sauce we got in my opinion), jalapeño and lime mayo together (really good but could have gone lighter on the sauce), and warm butter (great, no complaints). Their rolls are a must-try, with so many cool sauce options to choose from. The hot dog was ordered with mustard on it. Flavor was great but just a warning, it's bright pink on the outside from a dyed casing, if you're not familiar! The roll was toasted perfectly. The veggie dog is Field Roast brand which I love and I got it with sweet relish and curried ketchup (yum yum yum). Also a great roll, a little big for the size of the hot dog but no complaints from me on extra bread. The hot dogs came in baskets and they were stabilized on either side with small condiment cups between the bun and the basket which was cool. The fries were seasoned with old bay, and cooked perfectly. Our dog also gives the lobster a 10/10 btw. Very easy, fun, delicious lunch!!! read more

Everything was exceptional, starting with the bread which was fluffy, soft, and buttery. I enjoyed my meal so much that I ordered two of the lobster flights. For my selections, I chose the sweet red pepper mayo, charred pineapple mayo, mango habanero mayo, drawn butter, jalapeno mayo, and garlic mayo. I also appreciated the option of the 2oz flight sandwich sizes and chose warmed rolls for all of them. Furthermore, the waiters and host were warm and friendly. They were incredibly helpful in guiding us as tourists toward items they knew we would enjoy. Very casual and family friendly space. I will absolutely be recommending Highroller Lobster Co. to others. Thank you for the great service and delicious food. read more

We came here super excited about this place with its cool outside look and decor inside. We were pretty disappointed leaving and wished we had gone elsewhere for dinner. We checked in and were sat down and told promptly to let anyone know if we needed anything and we would be helped. Went to order and there was some confusion amongst staff, and instead of taking our order then figuring it out, they had us wait and watch while they sorted things. Sat back down and realized we might have not ordered the lobby pop fried how we wanted but instead regular and went back up to change. Was charged an additional $2 when we had waited through the ordering scuffle and already paid $150. Food was brought to table in an okay span of time, and after drinking my soda, asked for a refill with one of the staff members that brought my food. She said I could go to counter and be helped - ironic after being told anyone could help if we needed anything. Know lobster is expensive, but felt it was overpriced for the experience we had. Seems as though they need to figure out if tables should be served or a kiosk system should be in place. Would not come back or recommend to anyone. read more

Ok. 5 stars because this place is just so darn cute! But it is expensive, but, also, lobster is expensive wherever you go. So Highroller is a legitimate 5 star experience.

I absolutely love the way this was restaurant looks, and there's so many different places to sit and its fun. There really was no service, because nobody Comes to you. You order online and they bring it to you, but it took quite a while. My chicken nuggets were good, but I wish they had better sauces. My mom's lobster was absolutely tiny, but she liked it. My son had a mac and cheese and it looked really good. I would definitely be back, but I think I would order something different. read more
