When I learned I was going to visit Portland, Maine I knew that I had to put a fresh lobster roll on my food bucket list. Now I have had lobster rolls before but never in Maine where lobsters are so abundant. Now the problem I had was deciding exactly where to go. So I asked a few locals where they like to go. They all agreed that the best lobster rolls can be found at Becky’s Diner.
This place was packed. The parking lot was full and there was a waiting list for a table. Lucky for me, the seats at the counter were first come, first serve. I was able to get a seat there.
While I was waiting for my lobster roll to come out I looked around the restaurant and I noticed that Guy Fieri’s stamp was on their wall. I had no idea that Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives had visited Becky’s. That made my visit even more exciting.
My lobster roll arrived and my mouth started watering as soon as I saw it. There was ¼ pound of fresh picked lobster piled high on a bun. Plus it came with coleslaw and French fries.
You can order the lobster roll two ways – either with mayo or plain with a side of melted butter. I got the mayo version. The creamy mayo paired really well with the sweet lobster meat.
The bun was grilled and had a great buttery taste. They lined the bottom of the bun with lettuce. The lettuce added great crunch to each bite.
This was an amazing lobster roll. I am so glad I stopped by. If you are not into lobster that is ok because Becky’s still has a full menu of other dishes. I noticed that several people were ordering breakfast plates for lunch.
