Best Lobster Roll in Maine? Red's Eats in Wiscasset

This legendary red and white shack on the side of the road in Wiscasset, Maine serves some of the biggest and best lobster rolls anywhere in New England. Plus, you can find crispy fried clams, tasty hot dogs, and fresh baked whoopie pies.

Every time I go visit family in Camden, that ride on the way always passes Red's, and I always stop and get my lobster roll. It is so worth it.

World renowned for creating the worst traffic jam in Maine.

Ogunquit would like a word.

YES!

[@MaxPaws]

LONG drive, but I’ve been there several times! It’s an experience!

[@horticasey]

Definitely on my bucket list.

[@Jaysports.1997]

You can find better 😅

Shannon's Unshelled in Boothbay Harbor has a great lobster roll too. Delicious 😋

Will go one day! Looks amazing! 😮

[@chris2302]

Definitely on my bucket list next time I'm in that area of New England.

[@RebelKingfrom1995]

Definitely going there in the near future!

[@eddiesalinas]

I'm thousands miles away but I'll have 5 lobster rolls please.

I was in Maine for 10 days 2 1/2 years ago. I had a lobster roll at every town, they were all great but Red’s is the only one that I can remember. Not sure what day of the week this was filmed. We were there on a Wednesday in August and it was pouring down rain. There were 50+ people in line. I just checked, Alexa told me I’m only 16 hours and 2 minutes away.

[@jashamell3932]

You not only did not have a lobster roll in every town. You did not visit every town. That is absolutely ridiculous.

[@bherber]

Great idea with the butter & mayo on the side. I happen to think mayo is disgusting, so I'd be a butter guy lol

[@davelister6632]

Mainer here. Can confirm not only the absolutely amazing lobster roll found at Red's, but the traffic in this area during the summer. Believe me from down east to the border of NH you're going to find people saying they make the best lobster roll in Maine, and not one of them is telling the truth (don't even THINK about getting a lobster roll anywhere in Portland or the immediately bordering towns unless you want to get ripped off).

What’s in bleu cheese sauce? Old bay?

[@NewYork-hi6zd]

👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@TBrl8]

Best is eventide in Portland.

[@papagen00]

Here in California the lobster rolls look nothing like that.

[@brandonchapek9104]

This is the biggest lie in the world you literally wait in front of that restaurant for like an hour just to get a crappy Burger.

[@aaronsines1961]

Absolutely insanely overpriced, especially after you’ve been waiting in line for an hour. $36 is what smart Maine business owners charge naive tourists who don’t know any better. Reds Eats is great, but do yourself a favor and order the crabmeat roll instead. Don’t be a sucker.

[@mitchhedberg4415]

36 bucks this year, down 3 buck from 2022!

You could always do it yourself. From catching to preparing. See what it costs you. Don't forget the testing to make sure its bacteria free.
