The one to order

The lobster roll: the meat of more than a whole lobster on a buttered, toasted roll, with butter or mayo on the side

The line to expect: An hour or more on summer weekends. Seasonal: open roughly spring to mid-October.

The roadside shack on Route 1 that famously piles the lobster higher than the roll; Mainers argue about it every summer.

Maine lobster roll (butter or mayo)

Maine lobster roll (butter or mayo)

40 min · 4 rolls. Sweet lobster meat, barely dressed, in a split-top bun toasted in butter. Warm with melted butter (Connecticut style) or cold with a little mayo (Maine style); either way, don't hide the lobster.
