Yarmouth — Famous midcoast eatery Red’s Eats is expanding, adding a second location built in the middle of both lanes of I-295 just outside of Yarmouth.
“This is something we’ve been dreaming of for years,” said Red’s co-owner Debbie Cronk. “The ability to further inconvenience north and east bound travelers has been a goal of ours for a long time.”
The popular seasonal eatery is known for its long lines of tourists, anxious to try out Red’s famous lobster rolls for themselves.
“We couldn’t be happier to slow down a whole new group of thousands of people,” Cronk said.
It didn’t take too long for traffic to back up for miles on the busy interstate highway, something people traveling on Route 1 have become accustomed to.
“All those idling cars, moving at a snails pace, it really brings a smile to my face,” Cronk told us.
The new location offers the same rolls made from absolutely ordinary lobster meat, served on a cheap hot dog bun.
“As long as people don’t figure out there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of other places in Maine to get a better lobster roll, we should be slowing travel to a stand-still for years to come,” an optimistic Cronk said with a smile.
New Maine News hats are back!
In other news, sarcastic journalism found to be the writing of the ignorant.
Thanks for the comment, Dan! We’ll give it all the weight an internet comment deserves.
well played
Oh fuck off dan
Yeah Dan, fuck off.
When the new bypass is built in Wiscasset they will need another location!
And hell wil also freeze over! Lol
Sad thing is that the state wanted to bypass Wiscasset like it did Damriscotta/Newcastle, with a new bridge further upriver , but the locals fought it. Then circa 1980 MDOT found out how sad shape the old bridge was in and had no choice but to rebuild there. It and US 1 north of it had been built on pilings, I believe the pilings are still under the road.
FUNNY TO READ, BUT I’VE NEVER KNOWN THEM TO BE THAT IGNORANT.
It’s a Hot Dog or Frankfurt Roll not a bun.
It’s satire folks, lighten up. And surely we don’t need to use foul language in the comments. There are so many other words to choose from.
I love this new site! And the fact that Red’s is featured! I grew up in Wiscasset … working there was like a right of passage! Thanks for the comedy and fun … perfect for a Friday!
Everyone Knows that Reds is all about the PuffDogs and Mt Dew. Also calling in your order.
When they put in the stop light I changed my mind and bought something in Wiscasset. Took to enjoying fish chowder across the street…G
Just keeping going north and eat at Moody’s Diner instead. Where’s Waldo-boro?
