McLaughlin’s Lobsters, Seafood & Takeout in Bangor

1. We were driving through Maine to get to St Andrews by the sea and couldn’t not get a Maine Lobster at the peak of lobster season. This year was a very strong season and the lobster was amazing. We got the classic lobster roll with fries and coleslaw. It is by far one of the best lobster rolls I have ever had in my life (number one still goes to Peggy’s cove Nova Scotia). The bread is soft and buttery and a single lobster roll has so much meat that you are definitely getting value for money. It can seem a bit steep but once you see the quality and quantity the value is undeniable. Will gladly be back next time we’re driving through.

2. My #1 choice to go for when I want or need fresh seafood. The inside of the shop is small but don’t let that fool you. Wide variety of fresh and frozen fish and seafood. Outdoor picnic area During the warmer months. Definitely check them out if you are looking for top quality seafood. Went back for takeout and got a crabmeat roll and fried mushrooms. They definitely don’t skimp on anything. Absolutely delicious! Plenty of outdoor seating if you want to sit and enjoy your food.

3. Service was fast, staff were friendly (amazing at the end of a busy tourist filled day), and the lobster was fresh! We got hot lobster rolls that were so delish in thier perfectly toasted buns. Fries were also really yummy- super crispy shells with soft centers.

4. Quintessential New England Lobsta shack. The lobster rolls mayo-style were good-sized and tasted delicious. The fried shrimp meal was oversize! Not oily, perfectly done. Outdoor eating, mostly covered areas. Which even in the extreme heat was comfortable. Wish there was a better view of a lake or something. But they can’t help that! The location is easy to pull in and park. Over sized vehicles may have an option across the street to park at a dirt lot. My GPS initially led me to this as the restaurant….. ?!?

5. Fantastic selection of fresh seafood!! Lobster roll was great and the lightly toasted New England bun was the cherry on top!!
