Harraseeket Lunch & Lobster
  • Harraseeket Lunch & Lobster Main St. at the water, Daily 11:30AM-8:30PM, Closed mid Oct to May 1st, Have them pick out a live lobster and prepare it for you to eat right on the dock next to the lobster traps.
  • McDonald's 155 Main St., (SW corner of Main St. and Mallet Dr.) +1 207 865-9566. It is different in Freeport... Looks like a home with a very small sign out front. No speaker to hear outside, you place your order and it appears on the screen with no other feedback from the order taker. This is due to sound ordinance in Freeport. You can get a Big Mac, but you may also see Lobster Roll on the menu as well.
