$18 Dave’s Lobster Rolls starts at 11:30 and Patio Party but……
☮️🦞 THE ROUTE 1 PEACE ACCORD

Folks, the world’s a bit of a dumpster fire right now. I can’t control that.

I can’t control lobster prices.
I can’t control fuel prices.
I can’t control what shows up in the news.

And apparently, I can’t control a 1-star review because a lobster roll was $18 one day and $20 a few days later.

What I can control is what lands on your plate.

Fresh. Never frozen. Lobster meat.
A full 4 ounces, not the 3-ounce magic trick happening at some places up and down the strip.

And what I can promise is this: my staff is family. I have there back and if they are treated disrespectfully I will have none of that here basic respect is the first rule.

If something isn’t right, tell us. We’ll listen. We’ll fix it if we can. But please remember the folks behind the counter are working hard and doing their best, especially when the line is out the door.

Here’s my locals Mainah reality check:

If the greatest hardship you face this week is paying $20 for a fresh lobster roll, life’s probably treating you better than most. Truth is, plenty of folks can’t afford a $20 lobster roll these days, never mind the $26-$50 versions(some frozen) being sold within a mile of here. $18 today and every Thursday just keeping it real. Open at 11:30 today

So let’s call a truce, grab a roll, enjoy the day, and treat each other with a little respect.

Buttahs Has Spoken:

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To grab an $18 Lobster Roll …
Jack got sauce on both his Crocs,
Jill said “Hmmmm, Size. Does. Matter.”

Jack reached deep for melted butter,
Jill screamed “Dave’s gone feral!”
Next thing ya know they’re crushing Suncruisers. On the patio with a stranger named Cheryl.

Jack slipped hard on the Chowda,
Dropped his dignity in confusion…
But Jill held up fresh lobster meat yelling
“Fresh never frozen is the solution.”
