Absolutely delicious!!!! This place is such a gem. The owners are so lovely and the food is fantastic. We got the warm butter lobster rolls, lobster tacos, and haddock chowder. Everything was outstanding but the chowder was the star! Don’t miss this place.

one of my favorite lobster rolls (or should i say sliders) in my decade+ of visiting maine. i highly recommend you follow the signs around damariscotta for this unassuming little place because their slider trio is unbelievable. the subtly delicious flavor of each slider is enough to make it a unique bite but not to detract from the essence of the incredibly fresh lobster meat. their inside is adorable and authentic maine, outdoor seating is lovely, and the owner was so friendly. i also suggest you top off your perfect meal with the blueberry bread pudding. my only complaint is that they’re not open for dinner!

Take away mayo lobster roll and I love it. Lobster is fresh and sweet. Roll is fluffy. $31++

We ordered the lobster stew and the clam chowder and both were really good.

This place is truly a gem. Out of the many lobster places along the Maine coast we stopped by, including many of the popular ones on all of the "best of" lists, The Lobster Haul was the best experience we had. When we first arrived and were deciding what to order, the gentleman who worked there brought my dog a bowl of water and a treat, and was super nice. The lobster rolls were all very good (we got the sampler) but my favorite was the hot butter. The outside seating area is also really cute and a great way to enjoy lunch on a nice sunny day. Would definitely come back if I were driving up the Maine coast again.
