At The Lookout, the lakeside eatery known for its bold flavors and breezy vibes, one dish has made a triumphant return — the legendary lobster roll. After a brief absence, this crowd-favorite is back on the menu, better than ever, and selling like hotcakes.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-time visitor, this is the kind of roll you don’t want to miss.

A Taste of Maine, Right on the Lake

Prepared Maine-style — served cold as a refreshing lobster salad — The Lookout’s lobster roll offers a deliciously authentic twist on an East Coast classic. With succulent chunks of lobster, a delicate seasoning blend, and a soft, buttered roll that ties it all together, it’s a dish that delivers summer in every bite.

“Since we brought it back, it’s been selling really well… it works. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.”
— Executive Sous Chef Rigo

The return of the lobster roll wasn’t just a menu decision — it was a response to guest demand. After numerous requests and consistent feedback from servers and patrons alike, the culinary team knew they had to bring it back. And from the moment it hit the table again, the response was immediate.

Why It Matters: Listening to the Locals

Chef Rigo, who brings resort culinary experience and a community-first mindset to The Lookout, emphasized the importance of tuning in to guest feedback. “I spoke with the servers because I wanted to know what their feedback was too,” he explained. “This is something that was great before — and now that it’s back, people love it even more”.

The Lookout isn’t just another stop for tourists. It’s a local favorite — and its menu reflects that. By reintroducing beloved classics like the lobster roll and pairing them with inventive dishes like the Hot Honey Chicken or Healthy Salad, The Lookout creates a fresh yet familiar menu that satisfies everyone.

Perfectly Paired with Lakeside Vibes

With wide-open windows, natural light, and views of the water, The Lookout sets the stage for casual comfort. Whether you’re dining in with friends, grabbing lunch after a boat ride, or stopping by for a quick bite, the lobster roll is a perfect fit for the restaurant’s laid-back lakeside atmosphere.

And let’s be honest — is there anything better than enjoying a lobster roll and an iced drink with the lake breeze in your hair?

Try It Before It’s Gone (Again)

While there are no plans to remove it anytime soon, the return of the lobster roll is a reminder: at The Lookout, the menu is always evolving. That’s why now is the time to come back, bring your appetite, and indulge in a dish that’s made a name for itself.
