Lunch on the Wharf

About This Establishment

Lunch on the Wharf sits on a working wharf in Corea, serving classic Maine seafood and American comfort bites. The Lobster Roll is made with fresh chopped lobster bound in mayo on a toasted hot dog bun. Clam Chowder comes in a 16-ounce cup with oyster crackers. The Lobster Grilled Cheese stacks lobster between slices of white bread for a rich, seaside bite. Outdoor harbor seating puts you in the salt air with boats nearby as you dine and take in the view.

At a Glance

The Order Strategy

Skip the generic lunch; go straight for the Lobster Roll—tender meat, mayo sheen, on a toasted bun. For a second move, grab the Clam Chowder; for a drink, order the Blueberry Lemonade.

The Vibe Check

Post-hike lunch on a working wharf. It is casual, breezy, and very Maine; bring a jacket for the harbor gusts but enjoy the view and quick turnover.

The Crowd Factor

The line forms around the 11:45–12:15 window; if you want to dodge it, hit 11:00 AM or 2:30 PM and snag a seat by the water
