Red's Eats Review

You've probably driven right past this little red shack on the Wiscasset side of the bridge if you've visited this area and seen the long line of hungry customers. Red's is a local landmark famous for its hamburgers, hot dogs, lobster and crab rolls, and crispy onion rings and clams fried in their own housemade batters. Maine-made Round Top ice cream is also sold (try blueberry or black raspberry). Enjoy views of the tidal Sheepscot River from picnic tables on the two-level deck or down on the grass by the water.

    Red's Eats Review

    I'm not sure what all the hype is about? We have lived in Maine for the last ten years and have never understood the reason for the rave reviews at Reds. It's crowded (always), it's expensive, and if it's a lobster roll you're after look elsewhere. Cross the bridge and head toward Damariscotta, within 3-4 minutes you'll see a small trailer on your left hand side. Welcome to Patty's. She has hands down the best prices and most plentiful lobster or crabroll in the region and we've sampled them all. You won't have the wait and you definitely won't be dissappointed!
