Lobster roll, no mayo

Question

Not a fan of mayonnaise. I am wondering what restaurant has the best lobster rolls with no mayo. Ideally, not even butter, but I know that's a lot to ask for. We'll be there in June and everyone is excited to find the best lobster roll! Thanks for your help.

Answer

It's great to hear you're excited about trying lobster rolls in Maine! The classic Maine lobster roll is often made with mayo or butter, but there are certainly places where you can get it with no mayo and even without butter if that's your preference. Here are some options in the Bar Harbor area that may cater to your tastes:

The Lobster Shack – Located just outside of Bar Harbor, The Lobster Shack offers a no-frills lobster roll that's typically served with just the fresh lobster, often without mayo or butter by default. You can always ask to customize it further based on your preference for a simpler, cleaner roll. Their lobster is always fresh and the location is lovely for a scenic bite.
Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound – This local favorite is known for their fresh lobster rolls and can make them without butter or mayo upon request. Their lobster rolls are simple and straightforward, with the lobster meat shining through. Trenton Bridge also has an outdoor seating area, so it’s a great spot to enjoy a roll on a sunny day.
Beal's Lobster Pier – Beal’s offers traditional lobster rolls and is happy to customize the order. You can opt for a lobster roll with no mayo or butter, simply served with fresh lobster meat on a toasted bun. It’s a beloved local spot with great views of the harbor, making it a fantastic place for lobster lovers.
Jordan's Restaurant – Known for its classic Maine seafood dishes, Jordan’s is willing to accommodate dietary preferences. Their lobster roll can be made without mayo or butter, allowing the sweet, fresh lobster to take center stage. Their roll is also generously packed with lobster, which makes it a good option for those who want a more traditional roll without the creamy additives.

It's always a good idea to specify your preferences when ordering, as some restaurants may not automatically default to a mayo- or butter-free option. If you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to ask the staff when you arrive. Many places are accommodating when it comes to customizing lobster rolls, so you should be able to enjoy one without any mayo or butter!

In general, Bar Harbor and the surrounding areas offer plenty of delicious lobster rolls, so you’re sure to find the perfect one for your taste. Enjoy your trip to Maine!
