Portland Lobster Company

Delicious lobster—but DO NOT get the GF lobster roll! It comes on a small bun and you get to pay extra for it. The amount of lobster was seriously lacking (looked like one claw and a little meat from the other claw). So sad— because the standard lobster rolls were loaded with lobster…felt like we were being punished! Cleanliness is also a bit of a concern here.

I went last summer and they DID have a gluten free bun for a gluten free veggie burger! Not a “roll” if you get a lobster roll, although they may have that and worth asking. But my burger bun and veggie burger were great, had it with fries and Cole slaw and able to enjoy a lovely dinner on the vibrant patio. Right on the water, with tables under tents and heat lamps for chilly evenings. Live music outside and limited seating inside. It’s very “Maine”. They also do offer salads, for lighter gf options. Not sure about a separate fryer for fries, though

Ask if they had a gf bun for the lobster roll, sadly they didn’t. However, they did put it on a bed of lettuce for me! Lobster portions were good. Yummy.

The perfect Maine lobster experience. Staff is knowledgeable and the food is fresh and tasty.

I had the lobster dinner & it was delicious but I got glutened. I’m Celiac so if you’re not it is probably ok for you.

Celiac friendly?

No

Unfortunately they don't have GF rolls, but the lobster salad I ate was good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Only GF options for not so much seafood lovers is the salad. The lobster Mac 'n cheese (not GF) was delicious 😋

No gluten free rolls which is a bummer, but the whole lobster is reasonably priced and delicious! Also they have gluten free beer!
