Two words….lobster roll. Yes, it’s a quaint corner store, and no you might not expect it – but the lobster roll is fantastic. I’ve had them all over the mid coast and this one is fabulous. And an absolute steal at $19.99! Simple and straight forward. Because it should be. So much lobster meat (4 oz!), the roll is toasted to total perfection (this part matters to me) and you choose to dress it with mayo or butter. Heck, choose both if you want…just don’t miss out on this! Then get some Gifford’s ice cream and go home happy. You can thank me later!

This little gem is everything it should be. Liz runs a tight ship and is one of those rare shopkeepers that genuinely cares about her customers. We ordered everything from little nibbles like fried clams and oysters to local craft beer and wine. Definitely worth stopping in if you’re in Bayside.

This was a diamond in the rough! We drive through Maine and saw this cute store located off the highway. There was a tiny sign for Lobster Rolls just outside, which is what we were in the mood to try.
When we walked in, my eyes lit up at the wide variety of homemade goods, snacks, and drinks. The space was very clean and we were welcomed by a staff member, who made us feel right at home. We got there around 3pm, and it was peaceful and quiet. We had the entire patio to ourselves for a quick break.
We tried the Lobster Roll; one with and without butter and mayonnaise. The coleslaw was a perfect side and we ordered one side dish of French fries with balsamic vinegar and ketchup.
This is definitely a stop worth taking if you’re looking for a quick bite to eat along your journey in Maine!

Loved our lobster rolls at this roadside standard, enjoyed at the picnic tables outside. Great selection of beer, wine, snacks and a few staples for your camp. Full menu of fresh cooked burgers, pizza and fries also available. Lobster roll pricing commensurate with market – aka NOT a rip off.

So glad we stumbled upon this gem of a place. Delicious lobster rolls with a price point they can’t be beat! Cute outdoor seating area. The indoor shop had a decent selection of local craft beer, honey, coffee and a small freezer with meals including fiddleheads.

Had never been here before and the woman who took our order was very patient and helped us to get our order right. The store is cute and the food is delicious. At $20 for a lobster roll, it really can’t be beat! The veggie burger was also surprisingly delicious and you get a lot of fries with the basket. Super good deal!

I stopped here last week for lunch on the way by, decided to try the lobster roll and wow! I’ve had lobster rolls before in small stores like this one so let’s just say I wasn’t expecting anything above and beyond. Well to my surprise I opened the container and was met with a full roll of fresh lobster delicious claw meat, without the fillers a lot of places try to put on theirs. I had to get another one a couple days later. Over a week has passed and I’m still telling people to give this spot a try for a lunch destination especially a lobster roll destination.

We found this wonderful restaurant/sandwich deli quite by accident. You are doing yourself a disservice if you are in the Belfast area looking for great food at great prices and you do not try this place out.
We were met by amazing staff who were kind and able to provide help and accomodations for our odd requests. The staff and the owner had amazing spirit and energy and treated us like long lost family.
And then the food…really good sandwich selection, of which my party tried 6 different offerings. I tried clam bellies for the first time ever at the owner’s encouragement and it might be the best thing I have ever eaten.
I cannot give this place enough stars.
Well done The Bayside Store!
