The Lobster Rolls At This Maine Restaurant Are So Gigantic They Fall Off The Plate

A white, split bun, the perfect ratio of meat to butter and a salty breeze blowing in the air. No, you’re not in heaven – you’re in Maine! There’s no lobster roll like the ones you get in Vacationland. Hearty and delicious, these masterpieces are what seafood dreams are made of. There are lots of places to get them, but only one offers one that’s so big you’ll need to bring half of it home with you! The biggest lobster roll in Maine is closer than you think.

The Red Barn in August is certainly no secret. They've been serving some of the best seafood in Maine since 1977.

The Red Barn is a labor of family love. Bill and Florence Benedict starting the local mainstay and all of their ten children have worked here in some way or another over the past 36 years. It's their commitment to good food, while serving the good of the community that's kept them in business after all these years.

Their menu is large and impressive, offering everything from fried seafood to fried chicken and everything in between.

But, it's their unique Crustacean Elation that brings us back time after time!

This foot-long lobster roll will set you back about $50, but it's packed to the brim with local Maine lobster meat.

It's so big that you might want to share with a friend or plan on bringing half of it home.

If you're a lobster purist, you can choose to pay an extra dollar per 1/4 pound and order yours with clear lobster meat and no mayo.

If all this lobster meat is overwhelming, don't worry. You can still get the 1/4 pound and 1/2 pound versions.

The Red Barn is also famous for Laura's Seafood Stew, which is rich with local seafood and comes in multiple sizes.

And, of course, there's their best selling combo: The Family Meal. It comes with two pints of chicken, two large fries, coleslaw, and a 2-liter drink.

Once you've enjoyed the biggest lobster roll you've ever laid eyes on, be sure to grab a homemade whoopie pie for the road.
