Harraseeket Lobster - Freeport, ME

Dine at a picnic table overlooking the Freeport town harbor, the meal perfumed by the salt smell of the ocean and serenaded by the sound of an American flag flapping overhead. This is one of the nicest places west of Bath to plow into a shoreline meal with a glorious view. The specialty is boiled-to-order lobsters (also available live, to go), but don’t ignore the seafood baskets and don't forget to have a Whoopie Pie for dessert.

"The Whoopie Pie was invented in Maine back in the 1920s. It remains a staple on menus of seafood eateries all along the coast."

"A Maine shoreline classic: the cool lobster roll"

"Fantastic lobster bisque. If no one was looking, I would have licked the drop of it off the picnic table! It was rich and tangy, with huge chunks of lobster. Skip the rest of the food and just get the bisque!"

"One of the reasons Harraseeket's lobster roll is so good is the bun. It is the traditional New England split-top roll, brushed with butter and grilled so the outside is luscious-crisp and the interior is soft and steamy."
Michael Stern

"A true New England strawberry shortcake: made on a baking powder biscuit. What a treat!"
Michael Stern

"Deliciously battered onion rings that you won't be able to share with anyone!"

"The live lobster ordering window. They pull them alive and well from the tank and allow you to choose your lobster."

"It seems their prices have come up significantly in the last five years but, then, whose haven't? This price was observed in May of 2008."

"If you want a sandwich, clams, or a lobster roll, you order that at the front of Harraseeket Lunch and Lobster. If you want the full lobster dinner, follow this sign around the corner to a different order window."

"That's Harraseeket in the background."
