Went all over to find the best lobster roll on my recent side quest adventure. This place won. Best roll that I had. Alot of spots were closed already but this place is a true gem. My only regret is I didn't find it until my last day in Maine.

LOBSTER BUOY is not playing around. We have had lobster rolls all over the place and this one is our absolute favorite. And the fries are real french fries and super delicious and the clam bellies were also gorgeous. Do NOT miss this lobster roll.

UPDATE: Saw the owners' response and had to make something clear. They have some great fries, I doubt anywhere in Bar Harbor can match the fries at this joint. That said, I happened to have a lobster roll in Bar Harbor with less mayo than this place and much tastier meat for around the same price here too. Bar Harbor as a whole is a huge tourist trap and I'm sure you have some subpar lobster rolls there but there are some places there that make a better roll than Lobster Buoy and I wouldn't go around dissing those places if you can't make a roll tasty enough to compete with them. Stay classy Got the 8oz Lobster Roll bordering on $60 and while it did have 8 oz of lobster meat, the meat itself was just okay. It wasn't bad at all but nothing to write home about, and I personally thought the

I just can't resist a food truck. Especially when it's one that deals in seafood. I ordered the baby buoy, a 2oz lobster roll, with a side of hot drawn butter. No mayo, no lettuce (sorry Mainers, I'm from Connecticut!). The roll itself was nicely toasted on the outside, which added some extra warmth and texture. The lobster meat was soft and delicious, especially with a little butter drizzled on. The fries were solid, too! Nice amount of saltiness and somewhere in the middle of crunchy and chewy. A nice treat as I began my work trip.

First time here this season and as usual, it did not disappoint! I ordered the crab roll instead of my usual lobster roll and it's an 11/10! Fresh hot hand cut fries, perfectly salted. Cold, crisp pickle. a generous portion of fresh crab in a tiny bit of mayo on top of a small perfect amount of lettuce, stuffed in a fresh buttered and toasted bun, and a 4oz container of fresh home made Cole slaw. It doesn't get any better, or more fresh! There's a reason they've won best food truck in the Bangor area for several years in a row. Pro Tip- eat the fries first! They're always fresh and hot, but if you don't eat them first, they cool off quick. They have 5 picnic tables with umbrellas you can eat at, or eat it right in your car. The cherry on top is the excellent choice of tunes playing, and th
