About Seaside Dairy Bar & Lobster Bar

Seaside Dairy Bar & Lobster Bar is a popular roadside stop in Maine known for its delicious soft serve ice cream and tasty seafood. Visitors are drawn to its wide variety of soft serve flavors, boasting 24 different options, including unique flavors like Dragon’s Blood and English Toffee. Many reviewers praise the ice cream as some of the best they’ve ever had, especially highlighting the blueberry soft serve. The ice cream often comes with the bonus of free ice cream to take home, making it a memorable treat.

The restaurant also offers seafood favorites such as hot lobster rolls, clam chowder, haddock bites, shrimp, and calamari, which many guests find delicious and flavorful. The lobster roll is a standout, with some calling it the best they’ve had on the island. The fries are also highly praised, considered the best in Maine by some visitors.

Seaside Dairy Bar has a picnic-style outdoor seating area but no indoor seating. It can be tricky to find, as it’s located next to a gas station and convenience store, and the map can be unhelpful. Despite the slow service and staff being somewhat harsh at times, most guests find the food and ice cream well worth the visit, often planning to return on future trips to Maine.

This is the same guy who runs islands takeout? This man abused his wife, gave her STDs and left her and his child. I would never support a business owner who is capable of doing such things to his own family. This man needs help. I read all about what he’s done not to mention his drug trafficking charges.

Excellent grilled cheese and if you have room left try one of the many flavors of soft serve ice cream!

The chicken fingers were absolutely delicious! Pretty sure they were breaded right in house. Live music on the night we went too. My wife and I brought our dog and had a great date night. Looking forward to visiting again!
