    I make a yearly pilgrimage to Wiscasset/Edgecomb for my personal Lobsterfest, and Sprague's is my…read morehome base. Frank, Linda, Alicia and the rest of their wonderful family (and friends) serve excellent lobster and crab rolls, with the same lobster as that place across the street, but the difference-maker the rolls that are butter-crisped on both sides, giving them some delightful added crunch. I get them with mayo and butter on the side and add as I like. (I read the review that said that they "only serve clarified butter"...really?) I usually get the lobster dinner, once or twice per day. A lb of steamers or mussels, a whole lobster, Cole slaw, corn and dinner roll. Absolutely delicious food at its peak of freshness, served dockside beside the Sheepscot River where you enjoy spectacular scenery in the company of other really nice people with a similar taste in great food. And they serve the delicious locally-made Gifford's ice cream for after your dinner. I've never been disappointed, and I've already made my reservations for the same condo next year when I will enjoy Sprague's once again.

    We stopped by on Thursday, 6/18/26, at 4:15 pm.

A lot of reviews are from people who came here because they didn't want to wait in the long line for the place across the street and they said the lobster roll here was good. We wanted our review to be fully informed, so we got a lobster roll here and we also got one from the place across the street. While the line across the street is absurdly and unnecessarily long, we've determined now that that place is famous for a reason. Prices are the same, high $30s. The actual lobster was fine at Sprague's, comparable to the place across the street. The butter though was not even a competition. I don't know how they do it, but the butter from the place across the street was just so much better. Sprague's butter just did nothing for the lobster roll. It was clear and just looked like clarified butter. Do with this information what you will.
