The Maine Line

The Maine Line is the real deal—finally, an authentic New England lobster roll in Florida! One bite and I was right back “down the Cape,” sandy feet and all. The lobster is fresh, the roll is buttery, and they don’t skimp on the filling. It’s nearly impossible to find anything like this south of Massachusetts. Honestly, I’d follow this truck like a homesick seagull.

We were on vacation in Arcadia Fl and The Maine Line showed up. At first i was hesitant cause it seemed a tad pricey, but boy am i glad i did. This was by far the absolute best ever. Thanks, already looking forward to tracking you down and doing it again.

Consistently the best lobster roll in town. Great value for the price . Huge lobster pieces and the best type of roll. The presentation is great - comes in a box with napkins utensils and sides. The owner is very personable . We have been to bar Harbour and this lobster is on par if not better than the lobster pounds in Maine .

Ate at the truck last week. Staff was extremely friendly and the food was delicious. Got a hot lobster roll with butter and the bread was soft and warm with so much lobster on top. Can’t wait to see you out again! Will be back.

I wish I had taken a picture of my role. I got the “mom’s” roll; chilled with very light mayo. It was perfect! The lobster truck was at the car show in Venice today. First time ever trying. Highly recommend this lobster roll from a “professional”lobster roll connoisseur.

Whenever I tried a “sub” sandwich for the first time (Subway, Quiznos, Cousins, Erberts n Gerberts etc…, the bread was what people mentioned but it never lasted. The Maine Line breaks that pattern. The bread is brought in from Maine (or “up Nort” as we say in Wisconsin) and apparently has been the preferred bread for millennia. Okay, I exaggerated a bit but it does do it’s share in creating a superior sandwich. I visited The Maine Line food truck when it was in Venice Isle Estates. While the fresh Maine lobster (lobster roll anyone?), clam chowder or lobster bisque sounded heavenly, the Italian sandwiches fit my budget and craving a little better. Catch me on a cooler day and I would love to try the chowdah. I live that I was allowed to sample the sour pickles first. I practically coughed and required a drink as I let the juice slip to the back of my throat. However, when it is combined with the other fresh ingredients that make up the sandwich, it becomes mild and a secondary addition among the flavors experienced and enjoyed. The owners are super friendly and did not mind the fact I wished to engage in conversation as my family is originally from Maine. Seeing as my time in Florida is limited, I will be seeking out the food truck schedule to sample the chowdah and another menu menu item. I still have time to decide what flavors I wish to savor. If you want to experience Maine while enjoying the winter in Florida, this really is the only way it will happen.

I love Mac n cheese and was so excited to try a lobster Mac n cheese. How disappointed was I. My Mac n cheese was soupy. I've had lobster Mac before and this was definitely not it. RJ'S cafe is waaaaay better and their prices are too. What a waste of $$

I know they're known for their lobster rolls (which are great, don't get me wrong), but the star of the show is the NE clam chowder in my opinion. If you like clam chowder at all, you owe it to yourself to seek this place out. Huge clam chunks, creamy, flavorful, amazing! They also have these awesome little take out kits if you want to reheat the meal for later. We try to stop here every time they show up in North Port. Even if I don't always have the disposable income for the lobster, I'm gonna get that chowder.
