Customer Reviews

★★★★☆ 4.0 Chris Roybal · Jan 2026

Decent spot to get your lobster fix. Once you place your order, that's the last interaction we had from an employee, other than when you pick up your food. So, anticipate what you may need ahead of time, as there won't be any table service to check on you. The food itself was good and enjoyable, and we appreciated the nice view of the boats docked outside while we ate. Skip the whoopie pie. It was very dry, not enjoyable, and the smallest I saw in Maine.

Loved, Loved, Loved this place!!!!! We had a fabulous experience at Portland Lobster Company! The atmosphere was fantastic, and the food was absolutely excellent. Eating outside in October was such a wonderful bonus—the views and the crisp fall air made it even more enjoyable. We loved everything about it and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Portland!

Took a chance here b/c of location. It was excellent! So fresh. Loved sitting outside. You order at the bar and grab drinks, then they bring your food to the table. First time to Maine and can’t wait to visit and eat 😋we ordered local beer-yum! Lobster roll and twin lobsters 1.4lbs each.

Location right at the port makes this a great place to experience Portland on a warm fall evening on a covered patio with live music that was actually quite good. Ordered our 1.5 lobster dinner that was everything we expected. Fresh, properly prepared, delivered to our table promptly. Good value. Worth a visit they live up to their reputation as the best!

★★★★★ 5.0 Russ Schnapp · Oct 2025

It's a fun counter-service restaurant, with live music when we were there. We didn't have to wait for service or for a seat. The food was excellent, particularly the crab cake (no filler that we could discern, and among the best we've tasted) and the mussels (which were cooked in an amazing broth, with a slight kick to it). The blueberry pie made for a perfect dessert!
