Overview

About This Establishment

Crosby’s Drive-In in Bucksport serves classic American drive-in fare with a Maine seafood backbone. The Golden Buck Burger rides a juicy patty with a crisp crust and a secret sauce that brings tang and heat without heaviness. Pig’s Dinner and the Lobster Roll deliver big, briny character, while onion rings stay crispy and milkshakes glaze the end of the bite. Outdoor seating and a warm, community vibe make this a no-nonsense, flavor-forward stop.
