Larson's Lunch Box — Restaurant in Damariscotta

New review, I had always been a fan until yesterday, when what I ordered was not what I received. They have always had the best hot dogs, until yesterday. Immediately, I noticed that my brother and I knew the hot dog was different, not the normal one they had always used. It was AWFUL! IT WAS SHORTER, FATTER, AND TASTED MUSHY AND GROSS. IT REMINDED ME OF THE CHEAPEST hot dogs you CAN BUY: A 10-pack for $ 0.99. I TOOK ONE BITE AND SPIT IT OUT. IF THIS IS A PERMANENT CHANGE, I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK. THE WORST THOUGH WAS THE WAY I WAS TREATED. I HAD ORDERED THROUGH THE ONLINE ORDERING, AND WE ALL KNOW GLITCHES HAPPEN. WILL I ORDERED IT PAIN, NO CHEESE. I GOT IT FULLY LOADED WITH CHEESE AND VEGGIES. NOT HAPPY, BUT I SAID NEVERMIND, IT DIDN'T MATTER, I DIDN'T CARE. I WALKED AWAY AND WAS GOING TO ENJOY MY FRIES, AND AT THE TIME THOUGHT ABOUT MY HOT DOG. NO, I WAS HOUNDED AND HOUNDED, AND I KEPT SAYING IT DIDN'T MATTER, I DON'T CARE, IT'S FINE, BUT THEY INSISTED ON MAKING A REDO. I NEVER ASKED FOR THEM TO DO THAT. THEN THE OWNER CAME OUT WHILE I WAS EATING, HOUNDING ME ABOUT THIS ORDER, SAYING IT CAME THROUGH THAT WAY, AND THEY MADE IT THAT WAY. I TOLD HER I ORDERED IT PAID AND HAD UNCHECKED EVERYTHING. SHE KEPT GOING EVEN AFTER I SAID TO LEAVE ME BE, THAT I DIDN'T CARE, THAT IT DIDN'T MATTER, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. SHE CONTINUED TO CHASTISE ME, AND THEN LEFT AND BROUGHT BACK HER PHONE AND SHOVED IT IN MY FACE, SAYING "SEE, SEE, SEE"" ALL WHILE I WAS TRYING TO EAT MY FRIES BECAUSE BY NOW I KNEW MY DOG WAS DIFFERENT, CHEAP, AND GROSS. BUT SHE WOULDN'T STOP HOUNDING ME, BORDERING ON HARASSMENT. I SAID AGAIN IT DOESN'T MATTER, AND SHE DID, BUT IT DOES, CUZ YOU CAN'T ACCEPT THE TRUTH. SHE WAS SO INCREDIBLY RUDE I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE THE HARASSING ATTITUDE SHE WAS ACCOSTING ME WITH! HOW AWFUL TO HAVE BEEN AN AVID SUPPORTER WHO SPENT SO MONEY AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT TO BE TREATED SO BADLY. I'VE BEEN IN RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT FOR YEARS AND EVEN IF THEY MISTAKE WAS AN ORDERING MISTAKE I NEVER WOULD HAVE TASTED MY CUSTOMER THAT WAY, I NEVER WOULD HAVE JOINED THEM WHILE TRYING TO EAT WHAT LITTLE FOOD THEY COULD SALVAGE. ON TOP OF THAT TO HAVE THEM PASS OFF THIS CHEAP HOTDOG AS THERE NORMAL ONE WITH QUALITY IS BORDERLINE FRAUDULENT. I BET THE REST OF THE GOOD IS CHEAP KNOCK OFFS NOW AS WELL. I MISS THE OLD OWNERS. THEY HAD CLASS, STYLE, VALUED THE LOCALS, AND ONLY SEEMED THE HIGHEST QUALITY. New owners. I WISH THEY STILL DRESSED THE HOT DOGS THE SAME WAY AS THE PREVIOUS OWNERS. NOW IT'S MESSY AND NOT THE SAME. I AM DISAPPOINTED AFTER BEING SO HAPPY TO HEAR IT WAS OPENING. PLEASE HEAR THE CUSTOMERS ' REQUESTS ON HOW THEY WANT THEIR CONDIMENTS PLACED ON THEIR ORDER. I WON'T GO AGAIN UNLESS YOU HONOR HOW I'VE GROWN TO LOVE IT BECAUSE IT ENHANCED THE FLAVOR!

(OLD REVIEW WHEN UNDER OLD OWNER) This place is fantastic! I've never tasted anything like it! Excellent goods, price, service, and people. You go there once and you'll go again and again and again!! The people are loyal to Larson's Lunch Box for a reason!!! Because...

After having read several reviews on this establishment, I did a road trip, about 4 miles, to taste the food. I ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger, w/ lettuce, tomato, and onion. I was disappointed there were no fries, so I tried their fried Zucchini, with a side dip of cucumber wasabi. The burger tasted very good, albeit a bit under cooked. I DID NOT specify to have the burger well done, so I got what they usually make. The zucchini was excellent, and the cucumber wasabi was very tasty. All in all, it was a good meal that was enjoyed while sitting at one of their many...

I was told the original Larson’s Lunch Box had amazing grilled cheese sandwiches so I was excited to visit and try them.

It was very disappointing. Not only were we overcharged (the only grilled cheese option was on the kids menu for $5 and we were charged $18 for two) but it was the most basic grilled cheese.

The grilled cheese consisted of two slices of white bread and what was most likely 3-4 slices of Kraft American Cheese. It was dripping in butter. The Kraft cheese did not seem to be melted all the way...
