Oarweeds is a sort of institution for my extended family. My sister's rehearsal dinner was there, they know my parents by name and face, and I think every single time I've visited my parents in Maine we've had dinner or lunch there. My favorite memories of their lobster roll are with my big sister Pam, eating lunch during summer over rolls and strawberry daiquiris. I'm not normally a daiquiri kind of guy, but serve up a sweet rum drink on a hot day along side a lobster roll and I'm pretty happy. Tonight however, my wife and I were having dinner at Oarweeds with our 5-yr old son. I still opted for rum and had a pretty killer planters rum punch with an appetizer of steamers (which were amazing), and of course, a lobster roll. Here's my take of the roll:

 

Price: $18, as a dinner item. It's $15 for lunch. 

Bun: Again, they know the drill: buttered and griddle-grilled perfectly. 

Lobster solo: Still a bit warm which was nice, and served with a moderate amount of mayo, and a dusting of paprika. Buttery, tender, really a very good bite of lobster. Maybe just a bit overcooked, but I'm being really really picky here. 

Finxins: Good amount of mayo and a bit of paprika on top. 

Overall: This was a very good roll... one of the best from this spat of lobster roll reviews. I'd suggest going for lunch to save $3,  but regardless its a great roll. Plenty of meat, the right amount of mayo, and just a hint of paprika on top.
