Five Islands Lobster Co

We visited here one Sunday in late June 23’. The food was to die for. I wish I had a larger stomach because I wanted to try everything. Lobster roll was the best I have had in Maine so far. Staff was great as well. Tartar sauce was wet very good. Thanks!

Best Lobster Roll in Maine, seriously! This is where we take family from out of state to give them the best Maine Lobster Roll experience! Quick service, beautiful location, great prices, fresh lobster. This is one of our new favorite spots!

Couldn't recommend this little gem enough! Definitely more of a locals place with less tourists which makes it the perfect little escape. Being right on the water is an added bonus. This is especially true when you watch the lobsters be brought right up from the dock below. There are lots of options other than lobster available. Our party was a mix and my grandmother loved the crab cake sandwich. My cousin got the haddock sandwich with cilantro mayo, and as a local she knows where the good stuff is!
I got lobster. Weighed right in front of me, reasonably priced, and FRESH! I said good bye and sorry to my lobster, checked out, and was given a boat as a calling card for my order. Quick service is an understatement.
My mom got steamers and was VERY happy!!
Not enough nice things to say about the staff or the food.

Best Lobster Roll in Maine. Very pleasant active harbor with plenty of seating to enjoy a full Lobster or a stacked roll $10 cheaper than nearby restaurants along the coast.

I've been to Five Island numerous times, and I'll keep coming back for the gorgeous views and delicious food. You can also bring your own alcoholic beverages.
I'm not a lobster guy, so I highly recommend the fish and chips and/or the Philly cheesesteak.

Wow, just WOW!!! Absolutely positively worth the trip down. You can not go wrong with the gorgeous views. This place has it all.

Awesome little place with good food and great views. Situated overlooking the water, awesome spot to grab a bite and take in the atmosphere. Parking could be tight if the area is busy. We went about an hour before close and had no problems parking near the small pond/park on the left as you get near Five Islands.

This is the quintessential Maine lobster experience. Five Islands is right on a working wharf. The lobster doesn't get much fresher than this! Parking in the area can be scarce during busy times, but there is a nearby town parking lot (free!)that you could walk from. There are picnic tables you can eat at. I got a lobster roll (my favorite) but they have other menu choices and whole lobster as well. I like their style of lobster roll, because it is light on sauce. It is served with potato chips and the price was just what I expected.

We only have two but couldn’t say no to their food. It’s very fresh which doesn’t need too much seasoning. The deep fried scallops is also very great. It’s very hard to say which one is the best as all of them are very tasty.

Onion rings are fantastic. If they have them... seriously suggest ordering them. They cut them fresh every day. Great atmosphere. Beautiful views. Ordered Haddock fish and chips and a lobster roll. Big meaty pieces of haddock with just the right amount of batter. Lobster was very fresh and not overly covered in mayo. Really cute spot. We got here just in time before the rain hit and they shut down for the day. We got a bit confused about which building to order from. One does lobster rolls and fish fry's, the other does the live lobster plates but (obviously) we figured it out! Everyone was very friendly.

Gobbled our perfectly cooked fried clams and fries before I even thought of it. Crumb not batter. They have a separate shack for lobsters, as well as a small shack for ice cream. Ice cream cone was a sugar cone, smallish serving, but really was a perfect size after the meal.

What seems like a typical tourist restaurant (it is) has an amazing menu with MANY selections, all of which taste and look great! The portions are large. Their lobster selections are as good, if not better than many other seafood restaurants! We were a party of 4 and ordered different selections, all of which were delicious. The restaurant was clean, busy and, if you have seats by the windows you can watch, through their binoculars, the Osprey in their nest on a tall pole, next to the restaurant. The views are also very nice. The service was prompt, helpful and friendly. Try it-you will really like it!

This is SO WORTH the wait and high cost. The lobster was fantastic. Onion rings are gigantic portions. Byob. You sit on picnic tables. Locals brought tablecloths which kept their areas cleaner. One group brought a salad and pie to accompany their food. We got a lobster roll with cilantro mayo on the side. Fantastic. Steak sandwich was giant portion, too. The atmosphere was so pleasant. Watching the boats and lobstermen made it very fun!

This was our best meal since arriving in Maine. While boiled lobsters with a side of boiled sweet corn and a blueberry soda. Great value and awesome views off the pier at low tide. Our family vacation was more complete with this authentic Maine experience. It was a joy watching my family try their first whole boiled lobster! My only critical comment; I wish they were open during the week.

This place had awesome lobsters. The fish chowder was very good too.

Also the view was great!

Be careful coming here close to night time as there's a lot of bugs since you are eating outside. Bring some bug spray.

We always visit here when we are in Maine. When we lived in Maine, it was my go-to for lobsters. It doesn't get as fresh as right off the boat to the dock! It's definitely busy on the weekends- we usually park in the public lot up the road. There are picnic tables for people to share and it's BYOB. Again, plan ahead on weekends!

Wow! This place doesn't disappoint. The lobster roll was filled to the brim and lightly dressed so you could really taste the lobster. It was unbelievably fresh. The fried haddock was great as well. Their tartar sauce was so flavorful, I was tempted to get a side to just dip my friend into. Plus, you can't beat the view. Right on the dock, overlooking the ocean. This was our first trip out to Maine, and my first Maine lobster roll, and I'm beyond happy. Just be prepared that it can get buggy at night. There was a breeze when we were there, but when the breeze died down, the mosquitos were coming out.

A Maine standout. The views of north Gr Sheepscot are worth the trip. A real, working dock with excellent lobster rolls, lobster and other food items. Has been featured on a variety of TV shows, travel guides and even a national car commercial.

End of season, no lines. Got both hardshell and soft shell to compare. Soft shell is so much sweeter. Both delicious, we decimated those poor lobsters. Potatoes were good, corn seem like it had been sitting in water for awhile.
Great view and scenery of the scattered islands. I think we even saw an otter under one of the dock walkways.
Price was good compared to other more touristy shacks we checked out.

The road leading to the pier was also nice with some twistes and zero g hills.

Had the big boy lobster roll. Lobster was sweet. Delicious
