My wife and I stopped in search for a "Taste of Maine" and we were not disappointed. Having lived in Sarasota since 2016, we have both been hankering for an Amato's Italian sandwich. From the fresh, flown in roll (Botto's Bakery) to the pickles and olives, this was as good as one could get without having to fly to Portland and fetch the real thing on India Street. The lobster roll was delish. We have been buy lobster meat and making our own for the past few years, but Kurt does a better job than we do. Great taste, reasonable price, perfect experience!
Best Lobster rolls around
I cannot say enough great things about this place! Everything from the service, to the food to the packaging exceeded my expectations. The warm lobster roll was amazing and the lobster grilled cheese was even better! The owner gave us a sample of the clam chowdah which was also delicious. He even recommended a park near by to sit and enjoy our lunch. If you haven't tried The Maine Line yet, you're really missing out! 5+ stars! I highly recommend!!!
We searched for area food trucks and found this one online. We loved the sound of it, so we searched him out. So glad we did. Owner was fun to talk to. the food was so fresh and delicious! I had the lobster tacos and they were outstanding. my hubby had the lobster roll and he wanted another one - they were that good. the chowdah was top notch. we really appreciated the $5 kids meals. Owner also had us try the whoopie pie for dessert - which I'm so glad he did! just a perfect meal from first bite to last!
Whenever I tried a “sub” sandwich for the first time (Subway, Quiznos, Cousins, Erberts n Gerberts etc…, the bread was what people mentioned but it never lasted. The Maine Line breaks that pattern. The bread is brought in from Maine (or “up Nort” as we say in Wisconsin) and apparently has been the preferred bread for millennia. Okay, I exaggerated a bit but it does do it’s share in creating a superior sandwich. I visited The Maine Line food truck when it was in Venice Isle Estates. While the fresh Maine lobster (lobster roll anyone?), clam chowder or lobster bisque sounded heavenly, the Italian sandwiches fit my budget and craving a little better. Catch me on a cooler day and I would love to try the chowdah. I live that I was allowed to sample the sour pickles first. I practically coughed and required a drink as I let the juice slip to the back of my throat. However, when it is combined with the other fresh ingredients that make up the sandwich, it becomes mild and a secondary addition among the flavors experienced and enjoyed. The owners are super friendly and did not mind the fact I wished to engage in conversation as my family is originally from Maine. Seeing as my time in Florida is limited, I will be seeking out the food truck schedule to sample the chowdah and another menu menu item. I still have time to decide what flavors I wish to savor. If you want to experience Maine while enjoying the winter in Florida, this really is the only way it will happen.
Being from Maine, I’m always trying to find seafood from Maine in Florida which is impossible. Until now, my daughter found The Maine Line on facebook. On Friday 6-16-23 for our 32nd anniversary and Father’s Day my wife took us to this food truck. If you want truly authentic Maine seafood, clam chowdah, Italian sandwich, whoopie pie, red hotdogs and Maine lobster this is the place for you. I had a red hotdog and a lobster roll, wife and daughter had Italian sandwich. It was delicious and I’ll be going back. It was great talking with Kurt. Thank you!
This place is the Real Deal Holyfield!!!! The owner took great care of us. -Indiana Fam
BEST Lobster roll EVER!! We follow them all over to get our lobster fix!! Always very personable as well. You won't be disappointed if you love lobster.
I was relating my experience at Kelly's to a friend when he told me about a place that he heard about, The Maine Line. We stopped there today, I ordered the Warm Lobster Roll with melted butter. When I received it, it definitely had lots of eye appeal, all claw meat, the weight was as advertised 4 oz, & lots of savory sweetness from the lobster meat. Some of these vendors fill their Rolls with scraps of lobster meat with a piece of claw meat on top or short you on the weight to enhance their profit at your cost, not at Maine Line, they have my highest praise for serving not only quality lobster meat but they give you the full amount (4oz) of lobster meat, no short weight here! You will not find a better Lobster Roll anywhere but at The Maine Line where this ambitious young couple work hard to please their customers.
Just went there along Tamiami Trail south of Venice and it's to die for!! Great tasting lobster rolls, albeit on the pricy side. (Since when is seafood not pricey!). I believe this roll goes for $21.99. The Maine Line has authentic New England flavor in its offerings. The taste was incredible. Highly recommended, but be prepared to dish out some money at this food truck. Great location, on Wednesdays..
My wife and I split The Maine Maniac Roll. I'm glad we did. The 1 lbs of Lobster meat in a 12 inch roll was perfect. especially with the extra lobster that fell out of the roll, they give you butter to dip it in. 2 bags of chips and a cup of there Clam Chowdah put it over the top. you will not leave there hungry if you get there Maine Maniac Roll. We will definitely be back for more.
finally was able to try the warm lobster roll today and being from Mass I have to say it was the best lobster roll I have had since moving down here! I also got to try the clam chowda and it was awsome! I actually hate clam chowda and to find one that I like is awsome! will definitely be back!
I'm from Maine. Excellent lobster roll. Full of fresh lobster. Better than what I got when in Maine and more reasonably priced than lots of places in Maine.
You will never be disappointed!!!! Never !!!! Great food & very friendly owners !!!!
Excellent food from back home. Eating an Italian sandwich that Kurt made brought back so many memories from my childhood. Kurt and Brenda are very nice people and there food is top notch. I highly recommend trying them out if you want excellent food from Maine.
Outside of New England, by far the best Lobster Roll I have had in awhile. Cant wait to try the "hot" one. Never had or seen so much meat on a roll. Well worth the price!! You can't go wrong!! Love the Maine Line.
The Maine Line food truck came to our development and we had the opportunity to try them for the first time. We are from New England and highly recommend. We tried the large or mega lobster roll with butter (no mayo). 8 oz of fresh, tasty Maine Lobster. The owner came out and spoke with us to be sure we were having a good experience. We will find your truck and look forward to enjoying more of your lobster!!
Visiting my daughter in Bradenton and she told me about the The Maine Line lobster truck. Went immediately and ordered two warm rolls and chowder. Coming from Boston/Maine area was more than thrilled to have real Maine lobster. Five thumbs up!!!!
Truly delicious sandwich. My friend from Mass said they match what she's gotten from Maine. The clam chowder is really delicious too.
BEST Clam Chowder in town. We even compared it with the award winning one from SRQ. Lobstah is definitely from Maine. We are 2 New Englanders!
Probably the best Cold Lobster Roll I have had in awhile. There was so much meat in the roll that it was falling out. All claw meat and dressed so light that all you could taste was pure lobster! The roll was buttered so well, I cant imagine what the "Hot" Lobster Roll would be. That will be my next choice.
I was there for the Turtle Watch Function and the owner was the best. I will be looking for the Maine Line truck!!
So 1 lb of great meat and an experience that has you hooked! Courteous,Friendly,treat you like family!👍🏻👌🏻🙏🏻 SO GOOD WE HAVE TO GO BACK TOMORROW! Great food
Ordered 2 lobster rolls - the original & the mom’s. Both packed full of lobster meat. So delicious. Couple were really sweet. Definitely will be back!
Such a yummy meal. My daughter tried lobster for the 1st time and loved it. Lobstah Rolls were incredible: warm, fresh, and lots of meat. Good coleslaw and the whoopie pies were awesome! One of my new fave places! ❤️🦞 Great food
I LOVE THESE WONDERFUL MAINAHHHHZ. GREAT MAINE FOOD. GREAT PRICES & EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE ALWAYZ WITH A SMILE
The people are really sweet and helpful. Their food is so authentic and delicious!!! Thank u for allowing us to enjoy your amazing food!!!!
Great food, friendly service. I will be back for sure 🦀
Excellent chowder, the clams were soft and the chowder was so good. It felt like we were in Maine having a bowl of chowder. The peanut butter wicked whoopie pie was good also. We cannot wait to taste the red hotdogs and the Maine sub.
Fabulous rolls full of sweet tasty lobster. Delicious clam chowder with plenty of clams in it. And very friendly people. Prices are very reasonable. Great food
I love your lobsta rolls! Just had one at Turtle Beach and have had several from the Gordon's parking lot. So glad you're going to be at the beach. Hoping you much success there.
5 out of 5 stars! Fabulous
When I tell you this is the best lobster I’ve ever had! I got the mega lobster roll and the roll was perfectly toasted and the lobster was beyond good. There are not enough things I could say to express how good it was and to find it in Florida, AMAZING!
Recently purchased property in Harbor Cove and was notified the Maine Line Lobstah truck was going to be there today. I am originally from New England, the last 15 years in Maine and started enjoying lobstah when I was just a young child. I got the warm lobstah roll with buttah and it was delicious along with the cole slaw and Cape Cod chips. Meat was pretty much claw meat (the best) and plenty of it. I thought the price was very reasonable for what I got. I will definitely be back in the future. Thank you for letting me enjoy one of my favorite Maine treats under 80 degree temp
VERY nice and accommodating ladies operating this food truck conveniently located on US 41 just north of Stickney Point Road. Great bun and generous quantity of fresh juicy lobster. I was offered a taste of chowder, which i accepted. If i have 3 minor complaints they are this: There is no trash bin in that parking lot. Also, please offer some citrus! By that i mean either 1/2 a lemon or lime to cut the sweetness and the butter. Finally, the coleslaw is a tad too sweet. Ill be back for sure and will tell all of my friend
Coming from Massachusetts I can be pretty picky about my lobstah. Saw the Maine Line food truck and figured what the heck let’s give it a try. The warm lobstah roll with melted butter was fabulous. The meat was tender and cooked to perfection. The clam chowdah was authentic and delicious.
We are from Maine and I have eaten lobster rolls often but these are the best. My husband had a cup of clam chowder and he love it also a real Italian sandwich and was ver pleased. Super Maine foods in Florida. He still has to eat his dessert needhams. Hope you return to our park.
Wow, the BEST, worth every penny! The lobster roll was straight from the east coast, so fresh, overflowing with lobster, the roll that it was sandwiched between was equally as fresh! My husband had the double Italian sandwich that oozed with fresh ingredients, also very excellent! They were very kind and friendly to their customers!

As a native Bostonian I can thank the Maine Line for saving me on flights home! Now I can have authentic lobster rolls her in sunny Sarasota! The very best!
BEST Clam Chowder in town. We even compared it with the award winning one from SRQ. Lobstah is definitely from Maine. We are 2 New Englanders!
5 star warm Lobster rolls with to die for coleslaw! Really!! We will be frequenting this food truck on a regular basis!! ??
Excellent warm lobster with butter and coleslaw! Lots of meat!
We found your food truck online while visiting Sarasota Florida had 2 lobster rolls. The amount of lobster they served us was generous and the size of claw meat were huge. I highly recommend you find her truck The Maine Line and treat yourself you won't be disappointed.
I had a bowl of the Lobster Bisque. It was something else. Big pieces (not chunks) of lobster, my fave thing! I must try the Lobster Roll next time and I can't wait till you return to Venice Isle Estates!! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!
I literally hunt this food truck down to eat their food on a regular basis. The lobster is cooked to perfection it melts in your mouth! You won't regret trying their food and then you'll be like me going out of your way to get a lobster fix!
The best food ever. I am always excited to order from here and cannot wait to have them visit our neighborhood again.
Just had Lunch from your food truck at the Sarasota Fall festival at UTC mall. It was absolutely the best Lobster Bisque around and fabulous lobster rolls. Keep serving up the great food!
Kurt and Brenda brought their food truck full of delicious food to our community. It was a first for us, and 114 neighbors loved it! The food and service were top-notch! We can't wait to have them back in the fall!!
So happy you're back from Maine! Great to see you and welcome your new Gal from South Portland just as sweet as the rest of you! Best lobstah and Chowdah in the state of Florida. The Best Lobstah in All of Florida and the nicest people serving it up. I was born and brought up a New Englander now retired to Florida. Craved that real lobster and food I grew up with. Finally, found it with The MAINE LINE food truck. Fresh delicious lobster, finally an honest-to-gosh split on the top buttered hot dog roll and those Jordan red dogs that snap with every bite and finally the clam chowdah like my grandmother made thick and creamy with clams in it! Thank you for bringing my memories back with that yummy food to those days in the LL Bean chairs sitting at waters edge at Sebago Lake. Yup and of course I had a Whoopi pie just like I make! YUMMY
IT WAS SO DELICIOUS AND WONDERFUL FOOD TO EAT
I do not typically go to a company's web site to leave reviews as I am pretty much a general Google reviewer meaning I leave my reviews under Google Maps. However, I really enjoyed my sandwich from The Maine Line and love supporting small businesses. I really cannot wait to go back and try other items. Want an authentic Maine lobster roll, or clam chowder, or an Italian sandwich made from FRESH ingredients? Made from real Maine lobster? Look no further. The Maine Line will provide it. And it does not hurt that the owners/staff are super friendly.
I met you in Port Charlotte and was so happy to see the Maine Italian!!!! I had the Crab Roll and it was delicious. I bought my 86 year old mother the Clam Chowder and the Italian. Everything was very Maine,prices are good and you were all so friendly!!! We will be looking for you!!!!
The warm Crab roll was absolutely delicious. It was fixed absolutely perfectly. Brought many happy memories of when visiting Maine. I asked for some butter mixed with ketchup and was surprised that they would accommodate my request.When I went back to purchase our Whoopy pies Kurt remembered me and asked if I had enjoyed them. Great customer service as well as great food. Wonderful experience.
Reminds me of home.
Great place good food and great atmosphere.
