Food in Maine is second-to-none and that’s why this sandwich, found in one of the best newer spots in Portland, comes as no surprise. What does surprise us, though, is that we initially missed the fact that it was once named as Best Sandwich by the Portland Press Herald. So, in an attempt to make up for our 2018 oversight, we’re giving it to you now. It’s a perfect mix of everything that makes Maine food oh-so-good.

Established in 2015 as a food cart in Portland, The Highroller Lobster Co. has graduated to become one of the Old Port's most beloved restaurants.
