National Lobster Day: Where to Order in Augusta
Maine's iconic crustacean gets its own celebration with National Lobster Day on Wednesday, September 25. Join our real estate agents in observing this tasty "holiday" with delicious seafood from these great restaurants and markets around Augusta homes for sale.
- The Red Barn - 455 Riverside Dr., Augusta, ME 04330
Since 1977, when the Benedict family opened the Red Barn, the popular chicken and seafood restaurant has been a local institution. Laura Benedict assumed ownership in 1986 and she's worked to maintain the high standards set by her family. Lobster is represented on the menu with a deep-fried lobster claw basket, a quarter-pound lobster roll, and Laura's famous seafood stew. Hours are 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. - Otto's on the River - 287 Water St., Augusta, ME 04330
Enjoy beautiful waterfront views from the elegant yet comfy dining room of Otto's on the River. Lunch features a classic lobster roll, offered in a half-portion for those with lighter appetites. At dinner, lobster is part of the luxurious seafood scampi, which also includes jumbo shrimp, large scallops, and haddock in a lobster sauce atop a bed of angel hair pasta. Otto's serves vegan dishes for anyone in your group who prefers not to eat meat and seafood. Hours are 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. Friday, 5 p.m. - 10 p.m. Saturday, and 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. Sunday. - Two Maine Guys - 146 Mount Vernon Ave., Augusta, ME 04330
Two Maine Guys is a hidden gem in Augusta's culinary scene. Generous portions, reasonable prices, and outstanding service keep those in the know coming back for more. The lobster roll can be customized to fit your preference, with one satisfied customer declaring that he could eat one every day. Fried popcorn lobster, with sides of fries and cole slaw, is a treat for the whole family. Purchase some fresh-picked lobster meat by the pound to take home. Two Maine Guys is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. - 8 p.m. - Hallowell Seafood & Produce - 197 Water St., Hallowell, ME 04347
