Here's the question of the day as we celebrate this National Lobster Day here in Maine and across the planet for that matter. Where do you go for your most favorite lobster roll?

We recently put that question out to our listeners and to our Facebook followers,  and here are the places that they mentioned the most.

So before you map out that weekend road trip, check out these restaurants and take-outs that serve up rolls that are stuffed with juicy and delicious Maine lobster!  You may decide to take a different route other than the one you had initially planned, or, you may just decide to stay home.

First off, please check ahead before your trip, because some of these tasty landmarks may be closed because of the pandemic, or have special routines for ordering and pickup.

    Red's Eats

    Red's Eats in Wiscasset is a Maine institution when it comes to serving up lobster rolls.  Not only do out-of-staters make it a "must-stop", but so do Mainers who make the trip 70 miles south of Bangor.  Just look for the long line to the take-out window.

    Quoddy Bay Lobster

    You have to go to the eastern most point of the country to find one of the better lobster rolls in Maine.  Quoddy Bay Lobster in Eastport serves up lobster from the cold waters of Passamaquoddy Bay, and it really doesn't get any better than that!  This take-out has a really nice outdoor dining area beside the water as well.

    Archie in Sullivan said that his mama made the best, Amy in southern Maine says that her husband makes one of the best, David says that his wife makes the best, and Kelly from Bucksport says that she brings it home from the ocean, cooks it, and then makes her own. Thus proving once again that Mainers are do-it-yourselfers when it comes to just about anything!
