Taste of Maine — A Lobster Roll Journey! 🦞🍽️

Took a delicious trip to Maine on Election Day to try their famous lobster rolls — and here’s the scoop! 📍 Eventide Oyster Co. Lobster Roll: $22 for 3oz. Buttery sauce + warm, soft brioche (the only one served warm!) made it rich and flavorful in one bite 🧈✨ Whoopie Pie & Oatmeal Cookie: Not worth it — the Whoopie Pie tasted like mass-produced snacks. Skip them. Others tried the burger and baked potato — average and overpriced. Verdict: Not recommended ❌ 📍 Bite into Maine (Food Truck) Known as Portland’s must-try lobster roll! Lobster Roll: 4oz/$29 or 6oz/$37 — go for the large! 🦞 Six flavor options. I chose classic Maine style: huge, tender chunks of lobster. The buttered bread was the most fragrant of all, though served cold (would’ve been even better warm!). Served with lemon and chips (chips were meh — just filler). Whoopie Pie: $4 — thick chocolate layers with brownie bits and creamy filling. Delicious! Verdict: Highly recommended! 👍🍫 📍 Blaze (Bar Harbor) A spot known for steak, seafood, sandwiches, pizza, and tacos. Fruits de Mer for Two: $175 seafood platter (shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams, oysters, crab claws, lobster). Cleanly prepared but served with plain butter — overpriced and underwhelming ❌ Seafood Risotto: $44 — barely any lobster, undercooked rice, weak flavor. Avoid! Tomahawk Steak: $175 — 2+ pounds, perfectly cooked, juicy and flavorful. Comparable to Wolfgang’s! 🥩🔥 Recommended! Lobster Roll: $38 — standard taste and portion. Nothing special. 📍 Thirsty Whale (Bar Harbor) A casual American bar/restaurant near Acadia National Park. Lobster Roll: $27 for 4oz — decent portion, but bland sauce and unremarkable bread. No standout features. Final Thoughts: Bite into Maine 🏆 takes the crown for best lobster roll — generous, flavorful, and worth every penny! Blaze’s tomahawk steak is a win, but skip their seafood. Thirsty Whale and Eventide were forgettable. #Portland#LobsterRoll #MaineEats #FoodReview #BarHarbor 🦞
