“ Lobster roll was amazing! Buns were toasted perfectly. Just the right amount of lobster! It’s all claw meat so definitely worth the visit! Highly recommend. ”
“ A Facebook friend in Skowhegan posted "best damn Lobster Roll"! Know how critical he is and for him to post it...WELL! Today I made the trip H.J Blake's for Goodness Sakes in Belgrade, Maine. Got the Lobster Roll, large fries and a Pepsi. Some Lobster Rolls look full until you bite into it and see the empty spaces. It was 100% Lobster to the max! The meat was at the right temperature and seasoned just right on a grilled bun. The fries were overflowing in the basket and done just right. For a dessert I chose a brownie made by Czech Out Bakery in Albion. It was totally yummy! Friendly staff, well spaced outdoor dining a with umbrellas, clean and pleasant atmosphere! The roads from Skowhegan to Belgrade was great. Had a good ride. I highly recommend, Reno. 4 years later I return for a Haddock Burger. Totally amazing and satisfying! ”
“ One of the best lobster rolls I've ever had. Big chunks of lobster with nothing but a tiny bit of mayo on a buttered hot dog roll and a side of melted butter. I usually only like crispy fries, so I was surprised at how much I liked their fries even though they weren't crispy. The red pepper dip for fries was good ”
