About Thurston's Lobster Pound

Thurston's Lobster Pound offers fresh, off-the-boat lobster in a casual setting. Guests can pick their own live lobster and have it cooked to perfection. The restaurant serves delicious meals, including the highly-recommended lobster roll, and fresh salads with baby greens. The waterfront location and friendly staff make it a must-visit when in the area. Customers praise the lobster dip, lobster melt, and lobster rolls as delicious. The staff is known for their great service, even to food delivery drivers. Guests can enjoy the casual screened-in setting right on the harbor and are glad to visit before the restaurant closes for the winter season.

The restaurant gets busy, so it's recommended to go during off-peak hours. The food may be a bit saltier than at other places, but overall the meals and environment are good. Thurston's is located about 30 minutes from Bar Harbor, but the scenic waterfront view and quality of the seafood make it worth the drive. Guests suggest arriving early, as the restaurant now closes at 8 PM and there can be an hour-long wait. To skip the line, customers can place their order at the bar and then find a table. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality of the lobster and crab is exceptional, making Thurston's a must-try for seafood lovers.
