Overview

About This Establishment

Dog & Pony Tavern delivers big-Maine pub fare with a lobster tilt. The Lobster Roll is a briny, sweet highlight, while the Lobster Mac n' Cheese flaunts creamy texture with hearty lobster bites. The vibe stays casual and friendly, with a seasonal back patio and a Real Ale burger adding a robust, juicy bite. Heads up: fried items share the same grease, so plan if allergies or sensitivities are a concern.
