We also operate Lobster on the Roll, a food cart dedicated to serving the finest kind Maine “red snapper” hot dogs and super fresh lobster rolls. We offer Maine made & soda, whoopie pies and snacks; located just across the street from Down Front. A trip to Peaks Island isn't complete without a visit to Down Front and Lobster on the Roll!
