I’ve never had a need to go to Maine. I do now -that lobster roll blew my mind. When I show up? Don’t tease me - pile that lobster high. I’ll even bring my own butter. Holy jeepers. So much lobster. OR, as the locals call it “lobsta”. I can’t wait.
I didn't realize that Red's was a turnaround story. I had assumed that the place had steady business for years before becoming legendary. I have driven past here many times on Route 1, but have not stopped. There always seems to be a line. I think I will make it a point to pull over and order one lobster roll during an off-peak time.
I was in Maine for 10 days 2 1/2 years ago. I had a lobster roll at every town, they were all great but Red’s is the only one that I can remember. Not sure what day of the week this was filmed. We were there on a Wednesday in August and it was pouring down rain. There were 50+ people in line. I just checked, Alexa told me I’m only 16 hours and 2 minutes away.
See you in September/October!! Looking forward to the "Red's Eats Experience Meal," I just made that up but if you have one! Signature Lobster Roll, Scallops and your sister's Blueberry Cake!! 😋
Mainer here. Can confirm not only the absolutely amazing lobster roll found at Red's, but the traffic in this area during the summer. Believe me from down east to the border of NH you're going to find people saying they make the best lobster roll in Maine, and not one of them is telling the truth (don't even THINK about getting a lobster roll anywhere in Portland or the immediately bordering towns unless you want to get ripped off).
Because them Connecticut lobster rolls are flipping delicious!! And because of this thing called free market rule of supply and demand! You should read about it. It is very interesting how the free market economic system works!!
Absolutely insanely overpriced, especially after you’ve been waiting in line for an hour. $36 is what smart Maine business owners charge naive tourists who don’t know any better. Reds Eats is great, but do yourself a favor and order the crabmeat roll instead. Don’t be a sucker.
I would eat here because of her, love her energy.
I'm from se Texas-would love to try this

The lobster roll really lives up to the hype 😊😊
Every time I go visit family in Camden, that ride on the way always passes Red's, and I always stop and get my lobster roll. It is so worth it.
Wowza!
I can't wait to come and visit! I am from Arizona and I love lobster rolls!
LONG drive, but I’ve been there several times! It’s an experience!
Definitely on my bucket list.
You can find better 😅
My god you need a better bucket list 🤦🏻♂️
Will go one day! Looks amazing! 😮
Shannon's Unshelled in Boothbay Harbor has a great lobster roll too. Delicious 😋
Definitely on my bucket list next time I'm in that area of New England.
World renowned for creating the worst traffic jam in Maine.
Ogunquit would like a word.
YES!
way so wrong
I've been there. The lobster rolls are legit. I wish I would have gotten TWO because they are SO good.
Expensive, but that's because its HUGE and is the best one I've had in my almost 10 years living in Maine.
Great idea with the butter & mayo on the side. I happen to think mayo is disgusting, so I'd be a butter guy lol
Definitely going there in the near future!

You not only did not have a lobster roll in every town. You did not visit every town. That is absolutely ridiculous.
He never said every town in the state
"Every town" in his words implies the places he visited. Making assumptions isnt smart. @jashamell3932
I'm thousands miles away but I'll have 5 lobster rolls please.
What’s in bleu cheese sauce? Old bay?

Try spragues across the street while you’re there
@@gulfportflamefighter4545 thank you so much!! We will try it!! We are coming from Iowa City Iowa, so it is going to be a grand experience!!
Sprague's right across the street (literally) is just as good with half the wait
👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mainer here.

she is the type of person who runs a successful business. you have to love it to make it last.
Why are they serving Connecticut lobster rolls in Maine?
Because them Connecticut lobster rolls are flipping delicious!! And because of this thing called free market rule of supply and demand! You should read about it. It is very interesting how the free market economic system works!!
Spragues across the street
Best is eventide in Portland.
Lobster is going for $7.99 / pound in Maine right now.
Really?! Heading up there soon.
Not at Red's (or any local restaurant in tourist season), I can assure you
@@harrisfleming7431 It was at 9.50 when I was up 2 weeks ago.
The constant line of weirdos waiting in line for lobster with mayo because it was in a travel book or on crap like this……is astonishing
$30 US for a lobster roll!
Here in California the lobster rolls look nothing like that.
best lobster rolls in Maine? Browns Clam Shanty in Wells
This is the biggest lie in the world you literally wait in front of that restaurant for like an hour just to get a crappy Burger.

Red's Eats is nothing more than a tourist trap. Stay away there are far better places to eat in Maine than Red's Eats
Nope
36 bucks this year, down 3 buck from 2022!
You could always do it yourself. From catching to preparing. See what it costs you. Don't forget the testing to make sure its bacteria free.
