YUMMMM.... Toasted roll, heaping scope of lobsters soaked in butter. Delicious! It comes with coleslaw. Straightforward, nothing gimmicky, exactly what you need when you come to Portland. As of Aug 2026, it is $24/roll. Well worth the price for the amount of lobster they add. Also got clam chowder, great flavor, not a lot of clam, unfortunately. They just moved their location so make sure you double check before coming. Plenty of cover seatings and a cute little restroom in a trailer. Very clean and cute lol Fast service and friendly ladies there! read more

The lobster rolls did not disappoint! At $22 apiece, the rolls are packed with fresh lobster. You could even taste the lobster in the mayo version! The service was lovely. Be prepared to sit on picnic tables or in your car. I saw people do both. The reason for 4 versus 5 stars is that there was too much butter on the hot butter version. It was still delicious but between the buttered roll and the hot butter, it was dripping with butter. My advice to those you prefer the hot butter (which I do), just ask for a little less butter. Totally worth a stop and next time I'm in the area, I'll be going there again! read more

Still unbelievable the truck has moved to Arundel 1272 Portland road. Again cash only

As food trucks go this place is a 10+. I usually get the loaded lobster roll at a very affordable price, on this visit I ordered Fried clams and fries. The batter was light and fluffy and the clams were the most tender I've had. The venus has changed this year no longer in the field, it is now located a mile north on Rte 1 on the left in the fish market parking lot. The service is always quick and pleasant. I will definitely be back!!! read more

Y'all should really advertise that it's cash only. Also update your Apple Maps location. Staff was nice though, just upset that I couldn't get a lobster roll. read more

We stopped by for a quick bite. Ordered the twin lobster rolls for $44. Rolls were loaded with fresh warm lobster soaked in butter. The roll was toasted bread and delicious. Comes with a side of coleslaw. Perfect for a quick snack where you don't want to have to pay $40 a lobster roll. read more

No longer the bargain I reviewed. One lobster roll, one crab roll, French fries (from freezer to fryer - tasteless), and two soft drinks for $60 pre-tip? read more

We stopped by on Friday, loved the lobster rolls- went back the next day, got the Haddock & fries! Got 2 more lobster rolls to go - absolutely delicious !! Would add more stars if possible! read more

Typically order the swordfish sandwich or lobster roll or fried scallops. Swordfish sandwich hands down my favorite over the years. I ordered fried scallop box a couple days into 2025 season, and was very disappointed. Scallops were overcooked and not juicy, breading just flaked off, didn't hold together. Same experience as last year, so sadly, I will no longer be ordering fried scallops. read more

Bottom Line: Super friendly service, excellent lobster rolls and satisfying sides. My husband and I stopped at this super cute food truck shortly after landing at PWM. After dealing with many hours of canceled flights, delayed flights and other airport nonsense the only thing that could make the day right was a friendly greeting from the team at The Ocean Roll and an incredibly delicious lunch. My husband got the cold roll and I got the hot. We shared a side of crinkle fries and washed it all down with a fountain Diet Pepsi and iced tea. Both rolls were very good. The hot lobster roll was richer with the butter drizzle whereas the cold lobster roll was more refreshing. The cold lobster roll was served with some lettuce underneath it and chopped celery on top. It was lightly dressed in mayo. Both rolls were served on buttered split top buns. A nice surprise was how good the side of Cole slaw was! I can be fussy with coleslaw but I thought The Ocean Roll's was perfect - not too mayonnaise-y and not too sweet. The crinkle fries were average but I'm not a big fan of crinkle fries anyway. Service was friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. Our food came up quickly and we enjoyed sitting in the warm sun at a clean picnic table for two. Parking was easy and this was an awesome experience. read more

We stumbled in this truck in the way home from Kennebunk and we were ravenous, but had dinner plans in two hours. We split a hamburger and fries. It was $15, which I thought was steep. The girl taking our order was sick, you could hear that her sinuses were all clogged up, and it made me second-ideas if we should be eating there. The food took about 20 mins, and when it came out it was good. Nothing to write home about - just a pricey burger and fries (crinkle fries!). Nothing bad, but nothing truly noteworthy. read more

Crazy Good - should RUN not walk to try this place that's been around since the 60s. Have not had the 1/2 Bacon and 1/3 Burger but am informed it is the GOAT. read more

Absolute banger. Great lobster rolls with awesome portions. We got the twin hot lobster rolls ($35). Coleslaw was really good. The star of the show was the lobster bisque ($9). It was their soup or the day, but was so good I hope they bring it back as a daily soup. Great stop for a quick bite, and they even have a bathroom out back! Heads up, they are cash only. read more

The Ocean Roll - bangin lobster rolls and todays soup of the day was lobster bisque - absolutely divine!! 10/10 would recommend - Seafood Near Me - Arundel, Maine

The Ocean Roll - Lobster Roll. - Seafood Near Me - Arundel, Maine

Wait wait wait...I can roll up here, park, get great food, and NOT spend 20 minutes looking for parking in the tourist trap center of Kennebunkport? Sure, there's good stuff there too, but we were just spent and fed up with crowds (mostly me, really), and this place satisfyingly and efficiently fixed my hangryness. Have I had equally good food elsewhere? Certainly. But this food truck fully met our grab-n-go style seafood expectations. They deservedly had a continuous flow of customers, kept up with it. In addition, they had plenty of seating, reasonable prices, and offered just what we were looking for in terms of food stuffs. If you're in a rush or just sick of the tourist hustle, head on over here instead. Not much to see, but you'll actually get to eat something without waiting forever with someone else breathing down your neck and stepping on your shoes. read more

Great lobster roll and shaded picnic area. We got there a few minutes before opening and they took our order and got out food going no problem. Awesome staff. read more

Good was outstanding and the customer service was excellent. If we are ever in this area again we will definitely come back and eat here again. read more

Came back again the next day, the lobster roll literally may have been the most perfect one I've ever had -- and for a great price. Bring cash, they don't take cards! read more

The lobster roll was delicious but small. Everything is extra. They also have burgers and hotdogs. $5 bucks for a hotdog which was definitely overpriced. So was the burger. read more

So delicious and reasonable! I loved the nostalgic food truck!! You should also try the chowder!

We are picky lobster roll people. These were one of our absolute FAVORITES!! They had both cold and hot, buttered and Mayo, and no additional items in the roll. Incredible!! The people were pretty darn awesome as well. They added to our enjoyment and experience as well! read more

The Ocean Roll - Seafood Near Me - Arundel, Maine

We had often gone by this truck, but didn't know anything about it. So when friends recommended it, we gave it a try. My husband got the scallop plate which came with fries and slaw. He loved it and got two filling meals from it. I got a clam cake (appetizer), because I am not a big seafood eater. To me, it was just OK. It was deep fried and kind of chewy. I'm used to a softer, breaded, but not deep fried, clam cake, which I prefer. We would probably go back when we are in the area again. read more

Great fine! Just happened to go pick up McDonald's for son and drive passed by this food truck, decided to stop on the way back. Ordered: Lobster Roll (5/5)- $18 each or $35 for 2. Not pretentious other places that sell each rolls for $29-$39. This is just pure lobster heaven with hot butter (you can order cold too) in warm buttery bun and it comes with coleslaw on the side. Clam chowder (5/5)- again, not pretentious. Smooth, silky broth with lots of clams (didn't find any potatoes in it). We wish we stay in Kennebunkport a bit longer just to go back to this food truck again, it's that good. read more

Best lobster rolls at the best price. Fried clams are epic as well. Eat at a picnic table aside their food truck which is touted as the oldest food truck in America. Or take it to the beach or local park. read more

I've had lobster rolls all over New England including some of the supposed best places in Boston, and none have compared to the lobster roll at The Ocean Roll. The cold roll had perfectly sweet, fresh lobster with the right amount of mayo, celery, and lettuce all on a fresh buttered roll. The quintessential lobster roll! The clam chowder was also up there with the best clam chowder i've had anywhere in New England. Tender pieces of clam, potatoes, rich cream, and seasoned perfectly. The Ocean Roll is a destination if you're anywhere near Kennebunkport, and a detour if you're not! read more

The Ocean Roll - Lobster roll (cold with mayo), clam chowder, and slaw - Seafood Near Me - Arundel, Maine

Roadtrip from Texas to Maine and The Ocean Roll was our first Lobster Roll! It was delicious! We had one cold w mayo and one hot with butter. Both were loaded with lobster... fresh, sweet, awesome! The girls running the truck were super friendly and helpful. They had a nice little shaded sitting area to enjoy your Roll in this wonderful Maine weather. We could not have chosen a better spot to enjoy our first Lobster Roll from! Search RobinandTay on TikTok for the full video showing the rolls, truck and sitting area...Enjoy! read more

Been quite a few times this year and never an issue until the other day. Asked if they had chowder (which is a reg item on the menu) and they didn't so had to figure out what my daughter would want instead, only to have the other person in the truck start mouthing off about how it's hot outside and who's going to eat chowder .... Was def a put off. Was going to order for 7 people.... And hubby was looking forward to his twin lobster rolls but he went without. I've been on the other side of a counter so understand both sides but I've never acted in such a way. read more

Excellent food truck fare providing more than you can eat portions. Twin lobster rolls at a fair price are freshly picked, chilled or heated with butter, and accompanied by fresh cole slaw. The clam strip box is a terrific buy and my wife and I were only able to polish off half the box. Prompt order fulfillment makes this our "go-to" spot in the summer. read more

Good food,great service. It's a food truck do depending on the weather the ambiance could go either way. Never been disappointed. There are picnic tables some undercover. read more

Never ever have had a bad meal!! Love the covered area to sit outside and eat. Get a delicious lobster roll once or ten times, they will always be the same. Scrumptious! Nothing is too heavily breaded when you order fried seafood. It's light, airy, never greasy. And prices are reasonable for the large amount of food you get!! One note, the ladies that work there are great! They work from Dawn to dusk with a smile. Please remember to tip them. They so deserve it. read more

I loved the fried haddock, coleslaw and fries. My friends all raved about the lobster rolls -- both the one with mayo and the one with butter. I would definitely go back! read more

Great food at a great price. One of the best lobster rolls we had and we had many during our visit.

This was our last stop on our trip from Georgia. We were told to try the food trucks and we finally did! We got the lobster roll cold and fried scallops. AMAZING! Will definitely be visiting and eating here again! read more

OMG! The clam cake was a revelation. A big fan of crab cakes, I had never even heard of a clam cake. I almost passed on this based on some other Yelpers saying it was dry. So very glad I decided to try it for myself. Moist, tender, perfectly seasoned, and lightly held together, the clam cake was the essence of CLAM. Honestly, I cannot praise these enough. The fried clam bellies were simply awesome. I don't think I have ever had bellies this big. The size allowed the clam flavor to shine. Clean briny tender delicious. My friend had fried scallops and loved them just as much. The night before we had the same meal at one of our favorite restaurants in York. The difference? We got TWICE the amount of food and paid 30% less at this spotlessly clean food truck. I also got lobster rolls to go ($35 for 2). Again, a serious bargain considering I paid $30 for 1 lobster roll of the same size and quality a few days earlier. When I explained the "to go" order, the fun, thoughtful, and all around delightful chefs offer to pack the meat separately from the buns so I could build the lobster rolls fresh when I was ready to eat them. Did I mention dog friendly? They even cut up the hot dog for us. And an actual bathroom with running water instead of a port-o-potty. I cannot think of anything I would wNt to see changed or improved. read more

We wanted to love it but it just didn't work for us. Food (scallops and haddock) was bland and tough. And, it all got "soggy" quickly in the paper boxes. read more

Consistently excellent. Service quick and staff pleasant Clam cakes were the best I've ever had Prices were very fair considering higher than average quality read more

Quick and delicious seafood from a truck. You can eat at a picnic table or get it to go.
