Steamed and sautéed seem to be the primary options. Clam chowder was creamy and clammy, steamed clams were briny and tasty. The scallop roll had five sautéed scallops which were a tad overdone but still tasty. There is one wheelchair accessible table at grade but more tables above the store or closer to the bay.

They do an amazing job of cleaning the clams. They were also nice enough to bring it out to the car. I only wished they were open on Sundays or else I would have came back to but out the shelves of the many fresh seafood items they had in the cooler. I loved seeing the lobster pound (holding facility) that holds all the lobsters. Great place!

This last experience - Christmas Eve surprise lobsters for the fam in Raleigh NC, compelled me to provide a review. i have nothing but positive feedback to share about my experiences.

First and foremost, the two stars are for the waitress and bartender/waitress who clearly were…read moreoverburdened and still killing it. We ordered the baked lobster dinner and while decent in taste of haddock stuffing in the baked whole lobster and size of it, it took entirely too long (35 minutes) , not because the kitchen was heavy on orders and lean on staff, it was audibly clear that there was way too much fooling around going on and not enough cooking. I worked in the oil and gas industry so cursing starts to become white noise to me, however, I felt uncomfortable for the elderly patrons and children present with all the F-bombs that were being announced from the kitchen and launched at the waitress. Clearly it is a favorite with locals (as evidence in the bar area) and I can see why with how great the servers/bartender are but the wait compounded by the inedible sides (a canned green bean, frozen veg mix with peppers that was intensely bitter and mashed potatoes that were clearly sitting in a warmer for too long just isn't worth a second trip. It was Saturday and apparently besides the slim pickings, everyone rolls up the sidewalk by 7 or 8 respectively so we went there by default, not design.

What a pleasant surprise! Place was jammed on a Thursday…read morenight at 715 and totally empty at 8:30. Big crowd slowed the service at first but the waitress apologized and made up for it with quick and pleasant service once she got to us. Food was really good. Crab Stew was the best crab soup we ever had; chock full with a ton af crab meat and a nice creamy, buttered broth. No potatoes. Lobster Risotto was baked in scallop shells topped with bread crumbs and was delicious. Regular menu included mussels as well as fried seafood and assorted burgers. A tall glass dessert case as you come in was very tempting but with soup, salad and Risotto we were filled to the gills. I wish we had the time to try it again this year.

This is a wonderful restaurant to enjoy while visiting the Maine coast!…read more It's beautifully decorated inside and out with the local flair of the lobster trade. The view out the windows is breathtaking, while the food and service are just as impressive. We had a small party and started with tasty fried calamari and cheese curds. Local Bangor Beer's Disco Sasquatch and Orono Brewing's Wicked Blueberry Ale were wonderful, along with Blueberry Soda. 3 of us had the delicious Lobster Rolls because it was our first visit to Maine, and that was a "requirement", lol. The others had the steak and cheese sandwich and the fried haddock meals. They were wonderful too. Our server, Ceanna, took fantastic care of all of us, and deserves a raise. I even made sure to buy a t shirt before I left. We will surely be back when we return to this heavenly place on earth.

Thurston's Lobster Pound was hands down our favorite stop on our Acadia trip…read more Located on the quieter side of the park, it offers amazing food and a far better ambience than the busier tourist spots. We sat right on the dock and ordered live lobster, which is cooked fresh on site. Be prepared to wait a bit, but it is absolutely worth it. The lobster was the best we had the entire trip, enjoyed with ocean views and a beautiful sunset. One tip: get the blueberry pie if they aren't sold out. We ordered a few to share and immediately regretted not getting our own because it was that good. By the time we realized, they were already sold out for the night.

I might be biased but to me this is the "g.o.a.t." of lobster pounds. I've been coming to…read moreThurston's for a long time. I've tried a lot of "pounds" and this is still my favorite. This is a great working harbor and you're surrounded by the boats that are catching your food. This place packs up during the evenings so plan accordingly or be prepared to wait. Parking stinks and sometimes there's just no where to put your car. There's no reservations - you just hop in the line upon arrival. Feel free to meet your line neighbors -- some great conversations have happened in that line. All that said I don't think I've ever waited more than 20 minutes. If you're ordering lobster your meal is typically by the weight. I personally like them small - I think it tastes sweeter. You can add on the usuals (e.g. bread, corn, cole slaw, cake) or mussels, clams, oysters, etc. The key here is the blueberry cake - the greatest use of blueberry's next to blueberry pie =). We typically order 2 cakes, or more, for breakfast the next day. Most of the seats, on the various levels of the restaurant, have a good view of the harbor. This is a traditional lobster pound on a dock of the harbor. Maybe it's the bright yellow awning, or the blueberry cake, - I dunno - but this is the way!

They…read moreserve hot and cold lobster rolls in various sizes (mini for half a lobster, small for full lobster, and large for 1.5 lobsters) - appreciate having those options depending on how hungry you are. We ordered the hot lobster rolls (covered in butter) which were packed with meat and tasted fresh and sweet. The rolls come with a side of chips. We enjoyed the rolls at a shaded table outside, and the food came out quickly. Ended the meal with a chocolate whoopie pie that was packed with icing - the cake part was delicious, but a little bit too much icing for my preference.

Small roadside places are the way to eat in Bar Harbor…read more The best meal we ate on the island and it's not even close They have plenty of outdoor seating (nothing indoors) and a cute outdoor bar as well. Plenty of staff working hard and food came out quickly. Food: - Best: lobster Mac and cheese and lobster dinner. IT COMES WITH MUSSELS. The lobster was delicious and the mussels were some of the freshest we had. Absolute 10/10 of a meal. Quality and price can't be beat - good: lobster roll. It's good. But not as good as dishes above. The bread for the hot roll doesn't add to the lobster which is by far the star of the show. It's delicious and fresh and you're better off eating it by itself (or covered in Mac and cheese but I digress) Oysters - ehhh: lobster bisque Didn't get the pie... guess I have to go back FYI: check hours before you go. It closes early!

Seeing it in the distance fills me with an overwhelming sense of excitement as it meant returning to one of my favorite hiking spots in New England (so far) and beginning a weeklong binge on Maine's freshest seafood. I absolutely love this tiny and unassuming (from the outside) seafood market and couldn't wait to be back again this year. Last year, it was the first stop to pick up ingredients for my weeklong visit to Acadia National Park. This year, after a whole year of telling anyone and everyone I knew visiting Acadia, it was once again my first stop after I started driving from Boston. Loaded Lobster Roll - check. Loaded Crab Roll - check. Dorr Hoodie - check. Fresh scallops - check. 5# bag of steamers - check. Calamari salad - check. A pair of lovely fresh and alive lobsters for later - check. Some of the freshest stuff at really competitive prices. What's there not to like? Oh yeah, there is Tim with his super sarcastic sense of humor. A conversation with him just absolutely cracks me up. Super nice dude with a lot of information and makes the overall experience here even better than it already is. I also got to meet the father and son owners during this visit. Always glad to meet the hardworking fishermen behind the amazing product that I've become addicted to.

They have fresh and frozen soups for sale, and a single refrigerator display of a few fine pieces of seafood. They do the lobster, too, of course.

My wife made some awesome fish and chips with the haddock, had some beautiful sautéed scallops, and the soup was excellent. Was about $75 for everything, and we'd come back. The two gentlemen running the place answered all my questions and were more than happy to assist.
