Maine Lobster Grilled Cheese Makes U.S. Best Sandwich List

This is what happens when lobster crashes a grilled cheese party.

Lovefood is a popular online food platform that provides recipes, cooking guides, food news, restaurant reviews, and meal planning.

They also make lists, which we love, so when it came down to choosing the best grilled cheese sandwich in each state, we just HAD to know what their choice for Maine was.

The lobster grilled cheese at Portland's Highroller Lobster Co, is basically Maine comfort food turned all the way up. It’s the kind of sandwich that makes you pause for a second when it hits the table...buttery, golden-brown bread stuffed with melty cheese and sweet chunks of Maine lobster.

It’s cheesy in all the right ways, buttery enough to make your napkin jealous, and packed with succulent Maine lobster that is like a party for your taste buds.

The bread is crisp and golden, the cheese is gloriously gooey, and the lobster is sweet enough to make you Instagram it, before you dig in to a cheat-day moment you won't regret!

The vibe at Highroller matches the food: fun, loud, and a little extra. It’s not a fancy seafood restaurant, think counter ordering, cold drinks, and the smell of toasted bread and butter in the air.

The lobster grilled cheese feels like something you have to try at least once, whether you’re visiting Maine, or just leaning 100% into lobster season.

The Highroller Lobster Co. is one of Maine's best, having won the lobster roll category in The Inaugural Maine Food + Drink Reader’s Choice Awards.

Put this Maine bucket list item on your next road trip, by popping in to their Old Port location, at 104 Exchange Street.

Bon Appétit!
