Fried scallops were fantastic and the fries are super fresh and crisp
Great view, lobster rolls were amazing
Charming and quaint little country store. Lovely views. Fun out of the way spot. Nothing super special about the area but worth a visit.
Pool Lobster at Goldthwaite's offers a delightful coastal experience with beautiful views of Saco Bay, nearby islands, and moored boats. The restaurant features a variety of tasty seafood, including large, meaty hard shell lobsters and fresh, tender clams. Visitors enjoy eating at picnic tables and exploring the general store, which sells souvenirs, snacks, and essentials. The staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive, often going out of their way to assist guests and ensure a good experience. Many reviewers highlight the welcoming Maine hospitality, with some sharing stories of staff helping solve problems or providing close-up views of live lobsters. The food receives mixed reviews: some find the fish and chips tasty but overcooked, with more fish than chips, and note that the batter is thicker than the fish; others praise the freshness of clams and the overall deliciousness of the meals. Visitors also appreciate the opportunity to enjoy ice-cream and the scenic outdoor dining. Parking can be busy during peak summer times, but the overall experience is highly recommended for a true Maine coastal outing.
