Overview

About This Establishment

Bar Harbor Lobster Pound has a casual, rustic lobster-shack vibe after a day in Acadia. The Lobster Roll comes on a buttered bun with generous lobster chunks and a brine-kissed bite. The Whole Lobster Dinner pairs a perfectly cooked lobster with corn and slaw. Blueberry Pie has a firm crust and a bright, tangy berry filling. Texture and temperature reflect classic Maine seafood flavors in every bite.
