Lobster is so plentiful in Maine that you can even find it at hot dog joints! Bolley's Famous Franks is a family-owned restaurant that's been serving gourmet dogs around Hallowell homes for sale since the 1960s. Customers also come by for the delicious lobster rolls made by Don and Kimberly Pooler, who bought the restaurant in 1997 after Don spent years as Bolley's right-hand man. Be sure to take home some of their hand-cut homemade donuts, which are frequently hailed as the best in the state. Bolley's is open from 7 a.m. - 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. - Hallowell Seafood & Produce - 197 Water St., Hallowell, ME 04347
Find the freshest bounty from land and sea around Kennebec Valley at Hallowell Seafood & Produce. In 2020, they made headlines when their seafood shipment included a rare blue lobster caught just north of Cabbage Island. According to the University of Maine Lobster Institute, the chance of catching one of these crustaceans is only one in two million. If you're running short on time, the shop will cook your lobster for you at no charge. Other fresh catches of the day may include anything from clams and live crabs to salmon, swordfish, and sushi-grade tuna. Their lobster rolls make a great lunch on the go. Hours are 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. daily. - Mac's Downeast Seafood - 894 Minot Ave., Auburn, ME 04210
The fishing shack decor of Mac's Downeast Seafood, right down the street from Auburn homes for sale, adds to its authentic New England character. Lobster is available in a variety of different preparations, so there's something for everyone. Choose from lobster salad, lobster stew, or baked lobster pie. Mac's popular lobster rolls, a favorite of students at nearby Bates College, are offered in both lobster salad and clear meat styles. Pair your choice with a side of hand-cut fries or hand-breaded onion rings. Hours are 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sunday. - Cloud 9 Restaurant - Senator Inn & Spa, 284 Western Ave., Augusta, ME 04330
