    it may be a little off the beaten path to get here, but it's well worth the detour for this cute…read morelittle lobster shack on the water. the line will be long, at least it was for me during lunchtime hours on a saturday. also parking might be an issue. though they had one of their employees in the parking lot directing people where to park. that being said, I do recommend finding shade to stand in as you will be in direct sunlight for the majority of your wait, which may or may not include whenever you receive your food as well. do not let this deter you from the food though, it is top notch. just remember to wear some sunscreen and maybe bring a parasol. if you see a table open up, which usually have umbrellas above, try to claim it so you've got somewhere to enjoy your food out of direct sunlight. just because you're enjoying lobster, doesn't mean you have to be one. so now that you're covered from the sun, let's get down to the food. it's called lobster shack for a reason, so they've got a couple different lobster options starting around $30 and up. I got the regular sized lobster roll, complete with two tiny ramekins, one of clarified butter and one of cole slaw, a dill pickle spear, and a bag of cape cod chips. seems like the quintessential maine bagged lunch. lobster (in some capacity), bag of cape cod chips, and water adjacent. when you're in line, you'll see a tent for oysters (you can choose from shucked or on the half shell). unfortunately I didn't get the oyster enjoying gene but it does look like fun and they did look good when I'd see them walk by with a platter on ice. the lobster roll was great, good amount of lobster for the price. roll itself was toasted so it gave a nice crunch. lobster was served cold inside the roll and then you pour the butter on top. I will say I'm no lobster roll expert (yet) but I expected the lobster to be warm, though I thoroughly enjoyed it being served cold. in the litter trailer you pass on the way to the lobster shack, you'll see people in line for desserts. please do not pass this up. they had a wild blueberry bread pudding which was the perfect launch into wild blueberry weekend last weekend. you can add whipped cream (customary) or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a small fee. or do both, because why not. and if you don't read any of this, here's a tl; dr be mindful of the direct sunlight as you enjoy this no frills lobster shack on the water. make a point to stop by the dessert trailer and any option on their menu will not disappoint.

    What can I say about McLoon's that hasn't already been said at this point? Well, I'll try anyway…read more The staff at our hotel in Lincolnville told us about this spot so, while out exploring lighthouses nearby, we chose to come here for one last Lobster lunch. It was PACKED. Parking was scarce and tons of people already there eating. We got lucky and, despite the crowd, there was only one person in line to order so - we snagged an order and luckily easily found a table. They have tons of seating so that's not an issue. My toddler was looking at the water watching them being in fresh lobster off the boat and we found a large bucket full of live ones and one of the sweet gals working the oyster bar tent walked over and asked if my daughter wanted to meet/touch one and pulled it out for her to see. Super sweet. We ordered a corn chowder, a lobster roll (mayo), a steamed lobster platter, and a hot dog for my daughter. Everything came with a pickle, side of Cole slaw and bag of chips. Lobster roll was loaded with fresh lobster meat and hubs said his steamed lobster was like butter. Their dessert shack was cute and I honestly would've loved to try some Blueberry pie and other things but, we were so full and had already eaten so much dessert and pastries over the last few days that we decided to skip it. The charm of this spot is that it's basically on an island at the tip of a small inlet and you have to drive over a bridge and all the way up a dead end road to get here and BOOM, there you are. It's an experience and it was fun and a place we're glad we didn't skip during our trip to Maine.
