In Sabattus, ME, Rusty Lantern Market draws a mixed verdict: standout food (pizza, sandwiches, hibiscus tea), very clean restrooms, and convenient self-checkout vs. repeated gripes about high pricing (gas and coffee), inconsistent customer service (some staff praised, others curt), and long waits when understaffed. Variety is strong, but quality control can slip (a reported spoiled lobster roll). Cash/propane policies and after-hours support frustrated a few customers. Overall 65/100. Based on recent public reviews; the sample may be incomplete.
Called to see if there was any propane as I ran out around 10:00 pm and everything is town was out. Guy told me he had it but could sell it because he was alone and couldn't go outside. Even after I explained I had no heat for me or my kids without it until morning. Definitely a BS excuse.
Bought a reuben and fries from the place. Good portions and quality for price. And it was delicious. Asked the staff to toast it and was blown away. Best reuben i ever had.
Bought a lobster roll got down the road 10 miles opened it only to smell the worst rotten Lobster Roll that was expired by 4 days and had to throw it out! DO NOT BUY THE ALLEGED FRESH LOBSTER ROLLS FROM THIS PLACE. RUSTY LANTERN CHECK YOUR EXPIRATION DATES....UNBELIEVABLE!
EXTREMELY ANGRY CUSTOMER!
Just took the time to roll up
2. 50 in pennies ... 50c rolls... Cashier sat there and recounted every one , while the line grew.
I'm in that store EVERYDAY... I know all the Cashiers by name except this one... Thanks to his , "I'm better than you attitude".. I'll never go back. Customer service is important... this "cashier" needs a lesson
I love going in there… People are so friendly, helpful… The sandwiches look so great. In fact, I think I’m gonna go today and get either an Italian or a sandwich. I will always enjoy it because I don’t have to cook. ❤️
Over priced and understaffed. Waited in line for 20 mins to pay $4.00 for self serve coffee. I’m just going to stop at cumbys from now on. Totally not worth the stop here.
My husband and I have contemplated ordering food from here. Well... contemplate no more! The pizza was amazing! My 1/2 Xtra ham italian was to die for. Fresh,tasty and so reasonably priced. I highly recommend ?
Very Clean Restrooms. Plenty of Parking. Prices weren’t terrible. Lots of Snack Options. Quite a bit of Unexpected Surprises on the Menu. Good Hot Sandwiches. Pizza wasn’t that great.
If you want to pay more and get less than average food / service this is the place for you. The food is way overpriced there coffee is even worse ($2.80 for a medium witch is really a small ) honestly it’s gross. I travel the state of maine and i have yet to go to one that was worth stopping at except for the rare theres nothing else around to choose.
They have the freshest food the best food fairly good prices open 24 hours none of the b*******.. This Swedish meatball spicy pizza. But the rusty lantern always beats everybody.
