Portland, Maine: Becky’s – A Seafood Lover’s Paradise 🦞
📍 Restaurant Name: Becky’s 🏠 Address: 390 Commercial St, Portland, ME 04101 We came to Becky’s specifically for its famous lobster rolls – and it did not disappoint! The star of the show, the lobster roll, is a total winner: the lobster meat is incredibly fresh, plump, and sweet, just like it was hauled from the Atlantic that morning 🦞. Priced at only $30, it’s a total steal for the quality! What makes it stand out? No heavy sauces or creamy mayonnaise to mask the seafood’s natural flavor – it’s just tender lobster chunks, a touch of crisp veggies (think fresh lettuce or a sprinkle of celery for crunch), and that’s it. Simple, pure, and all about letting the fresh lobster shine ✨. The deliciousness doesn’t stop there! Let’s talk about the other dishes we tried: Haddock 🐟: This haddock was just as fresh as the lobster – flaky, moist, and cooked to perfection, with a light, buttery finish that let the fish’s sweetness come through. And the fries on the side? Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, seasoned just right – we couldn’t stop munching on them! 🍟 Lobster Melt 🥪: Imagine warm, melted cheese oozing over more of that fresh lobster meat, sandwiched between two slices of toasted, buttery bread. It’s gooey, savory, and packed with lobster flavor – comfort food at its finest! Breakfast Egg Benedict 🥚: Even their breakfast hits the spot! The Egg Benedict here is classic done right: a perfectly poached egg that oozes runny yolk when you cut into it, draped in smooth hollandaise sauce, served on a soft English muffin (and maybe a hint of Canadian bacon or spinach – so satisfying!). Giant Clam Chowder 🥣: Prepare to be shocked by the portion! This clam chowder comes in a huge bowl – we’re talking enough to feed 4 people easily! It’s rich, creamy, loaded with tender clams and hearty potatoes, and bursting with that cozy, briny flavor that makes clam chowder a Maine staple. You’ll leave full (and maybe even with leftovers)! ⚠️ Heads Up: This spot is popular – even on weekday noons in summer, expect a 45-minute wait. But trust us, every minute is worth it for that fresh seafood! Arrive a little early (or bring a friend to chat with while you queue) to beat the longest lines. #PortlandMaineEats #MaineSeafood #LobsterRollHeaven #BeckysPortland #ClamChowder #PortlandFoodie #FreshSeafood
