"Lobster is the thing to eat at Five Islands, but the excellent fried clams should not be overlooked."

"If you like your lobster roll on a toasted bun with just a gloss, a whisper, a gentle zephyr of mayo, then this is the one for you. Served on the end of the dock on the ocean with only a few gulls to keep you company."

Mike Urban

"The 10 Best Lobster Rolls in New England: Five Islands Lobster Co - This shack is perfectly positioned on the town dock to receive a steady flow of super-fresh lobster from the cold, deep waters of nearby Sheepscot Bay. The lobster is fresh-picked throughout the day, tossed with a bit of mayo, and served in a toasted, buttered, split-top bun lined with a leafy piece of lettuce."

Mike Urban

"This famous lobster place doubles as a clam shack, with its succulent fried clams and other deep-fried seafood."

Lonely Planet

"Top choice seafood in Midcoast Maine. Imagine crab cakes with fresh dill-tartar sauce, golden fried clams and lobsters dripping with melted butter."

Mike Urban

"The 10 Best Fried Clams in Maine: Five Islands Lobster Co - The locally procured clams are hand-breaded and fried until lightly crispy; the oil is changed frequently at the shack’s Lovenest Grill, where the deep-fried foods are prepared."

Dan Myers

"It’s the lobster that really shines here, and is good enough to eat without the bun, dunked into some butter. It isn’t just the perfect lobster roll; it’s the perfect lobster roll-eating experience."

Laura Siciliano-Rosen

"At Five Islands you pick your own, it's cooked to order and comes with a dozen clams, corn on the cob and clarified butter. Enjoy on the dock, with an amazing view of the 5 islands!"

Mike Urban

"Located on a pier at the end of Route 127, Five Islands Lobster serves up some of the best cold-water, hard-shell lobster you’ll find anywhere."
