Red's isn't # 1 any more - move over to Sprague's!

I stand corrected: you use to see people pulling the meat out of the lobster's at Red's. I hadn't been up that way for a few yrs and we popped up there on Wednesday.

I had two lobster rolls and a clam cake burger plus some frieds. It wasn't bad - not as good as I remembered from few yrs back.

The line was LONG - I think it took almost a hour from the time we got in line until the food came.

Now I noticed the place across the street called Sprague's. Well after we ate I was still hungry so we crossed the street and went out on the pier to try the chow. I ordered a lobster roll and some hand cut fries. I told the lady there I was in line across the street for an hr and how their food stacked up. She felt they had a better product. The lobster roll at Sprague's was BETTER !!! Roll was hot and they had a little chopped lettuce underneath and the meat was seasoned w/ a little more mayo (not as heaped as Red's, but it was a few dollars less). The had cut fries were awesome! I walked back up to the window and told them their lobster roll was very respectable - in fact it was BETTER than Red's. The lady and the guy in there were smiling something fierce and thanks me for crossing over! I told them I would spread the word as well.

$80 later; I was in a lobster roll coma.

Lobster in Kennebunkport area

If you are going to Kennebunkport, there are a number of places in Cape Porpoise to go to that serve excellent lobster and lobster rolls. Cape Porpoise is part of the greater Kennebunks ... all the way at the end is a lobster shack on the town pier, you get to eat lobster, lobster roll or whatever you want on a pier overlooking the water, it si beautiful.

Inside town, there is Nunans (spelling) which is a long-time lobster shack, classic, but also crowded - very good though, it was my grandmother's favorite when she was alive. Across the street somewhat is another restaurant, it's actually a little around the corner and across the street, I think it is called Captain's way or something like that. They too have good lobster role.

Lastly, inside lower port, or taint town, across from Meserves market in the parking lot, is a lobster place and they sell rolls out the back.

Good luck and enjoy.

Skip the mayo and saute it in some good old butter, grill the roll, throw a little lettuce in and plate it. You will never disgrace lobster with mayo again, I promise! It's the only way I'll eat one. You can get it like that at The Lobster Dock in Boothbay.

Beer is the reason we get up each afternoon.
