Portland locals

Easy to google and get a long list of places to get a lobster during the day we are there.

If there are any local folks or frequent visitors on the board I would love to know where you go for lobster.  Wife and I prefer the non-tourist, sometimes hole in the wall, places that the locals go to.

Check out Becky's.

Ancient Mariner Lobster Pound in Westbrook, and then boil my own, way, way cheaper.  (just had an 8 lobster boil (lobster, shrimp, potatoes, corn on cob) this last weekend.  Under $100 to feed 7)  Seriously, if I was to go out for a lobster, I'd go to Becky's, Gilbert's, High Roller, or Portland Lobster.

I'm not a local, but my wife is from the Sebago Lake area, so we get up there a lot visiting family.

I second the suggeation of Gilberts Chowder House or Becky's Diner.  They are both solid choices.  Gilberts has more hole-in-the-wall vibe.  I hear Portland Lobster Company is good but I've never been there.

 

If a lobster roll is what I was wanting, my choice would be the food truck at Allagash Brewing.  It's about a 15-minute Uber ride from the pier.  And since you're not driving, you can check out the other 4 (I think) breweries right there. 🍺

 

I enjoyed the food at Gilberts (outstanding seafood chowder) and at the food truck just a couple weeks ago.  Portland is a great town.  I hope you have a wicked-good time. 🦞
