Cute roadside stand with picnic tables overlooking the water. We had lobster rolls and they were amazing - a simple toasty buttery roll loaded well with tender lobster. No frills just good ingredients well made and very friendly people behind the window.

We hit here towards the end of the season, so there were quite a few things no longer on the menu. Not a problem - it's a classic Maine takeout, which means plenty of fried fish and that's what I was there for. Apparently there's two sizes of fish sandwich. I went for the large (monster haddock burger), because why not. It's a cornmeal-style coating (not battered) , so there was some crunch, and good flavor. Recommended.

This is a truly unique roadside eatery. Run by two wonderful and wise gentlemen, they serve some of the tastiest (mostly) fried seafood we’ve ever had. Lobster rolls, fried clams baskets, fish and chips, amazing onion rings, etc. It’s all delicious. But who they are as people, and what they stand for, is truly something special. And it’s not just because they prefer animals over humans ☺️. Just read the signage as you place your order. Anywhere close to Machias, go. You will not be sorry.

Tasty food, I especially like the crab roll and the homemade lemonade. The staff are very sweet and gave our dogs ice cream with dog treats. This is a great place to stop when you’re traveling with dogs. Picnic tables provided with a view of the river. Very friendly and inclusive. This is our second visit and we will be coming back.

Riverside is one of my favorite take-out places ever! They hands-down have the best lobster rolls that I have found in Down-East Maine. Every year on my family vacation I get a lobster roll and every year they never disappoint! The staff are absolutely wonderful and the service is great! I love the location and the message that Riverside is sending :). I highly recommend!

Amazing. Gay. Delicious. That’s how I would describe my experience at Riverside Take-Out. The guys “bears” are super nice, the establishment screams kindness and if you look around at all the signs you can tell they are for the community — and it’s nice to see people looking out for not only their own but everyone. The place is fun, bright, and exudes happiness. They are very green and environment friendly. Now the food — the food was so delicious that, we first had a lobster roll and had to come back 30 minutes later to try a scallop and crab roll. Everything was top notch, including their freshly made tartar sauce. My boyfriend and I want to come back every single time we are in DownEast Maine. We need to try the whole menu. Riverside Take-Out — thank you for being an example of a great establishment with delicious food that welcomes all no matter gender, race, orientation.

This place is so cute I love it. It’s where beach attitude meets roadside stand in Machias. Totally inclusive vibe with a sweetheart running the joint. Totally eclectic. You can get sandwiches and, of course, a lobster roll. All the food was good and it comes out relatively quickly. Open your mouth and you will enjoy every bite.
