    Lazy man's lobster...soooo good!!!
    TheU K.

    We had the lazy man's lobster dish (sooo good!) and double lobster roll... great food, location and good service ... will definitely come back!

    monstah lobster - not as big as I thought it would be though.

    This is the take out market but if you are driving by to try the lobster, you are better off going to the restaurant bait shed in the same area. I got confuse from this yelp listing and thought it was only a take out place. Sit at the restaurant if you are just visiting and want to eat some lobsters in Maine. Otherwise the locals probably know to do take out via this market.

    Love it! Best lobster place throughout my trip in New England. We also bought some to go lobster for dinner in Boston!

    Went to Baley's Lobster Pound a few times over this past summer. Lobsters, steamers were fresh with great prices. You can have your order cooked to go or take it with you to cook yourself (same price). The store has many items in the frig as well so you can get your entire meal here with salads, soups, and seafood. I would highly recommend getting your own here and bringing it back to your campsite, hotel, cabin, rather than eat out at a higher priced restaurant. The Baley's do it right from their campground, seafood, ice cream they serve with a smile and are friendly and helpful. Customer Service and having a good vacation is what they aim for.

    GREAT spot. The bugs chased us away from our seats on the dock. (BUT that's because there was no wind at that time that we sat down right before close/dusk.) I took my clam chowder and lobster to go and enjoyed it on the beach. My wife took brought her lobster roll. and did not enjoy it, but we loved the clam chowder with a side of bread. You can order lobster without any sides, which is what I would recommend. A "medium" order is enough (w/ a small soup) unless you plan to share. Then I would go with the "large" order Also a very nice price for lobster à la cart. But note: I don't believe the lobster was listed on the menu as an option its own. I made a mistake. This review was supposed to be for "the bait shed" which I believe Bailey's owns and operates.

    Our last lobster meal in Acadia National Park was at the Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound, and a group of nice ladies at the next table heard us talk about our search for the best lobster, and recommended Bayley's when we got to Portland. We came here before the place opened on Saturday and had a wonderful time, so we came back Sunday and had another wonderful time! The restaurant sits next to a body of water and in the morning there is a light fog that makes the scenery look like it's out of a painting. The menu has quite a few options compared to other lobster places we've been to. Some of the things we tried: - Twin lobster meal in medium and select: didn't really notice the difference in size, we got the soft shell both times because someone who worked there told us it was most likely sweeter. We were also recommended to not get the monstah because the meat may not be as tender. TBH I'm not a lobster connoisseur and this tasted pretty similar to other lobster meals we've had, but the price was hard to beat. The corn was really good too! - Lobster flat bread: I really love this!! It's slightly crispy on the outside but soft in the middle, covered in cheese and lobster meat. Would go back just for this. - Lobster bisque: I personally don't prefer clam chowder because it's not sweet, but there was so much lobster in this thing!! If you like lobster bisque this is worth it. - Clams/Clam Chowder: I approve. - Lobster roll: This was just ok. There's also a little store where you can buy lobster (among other seafood things) to go. Service was great, everyone was super friendly. We went early so no lines at all and the food came out really quick. Wish this existed in Texas!

    Bugs from the sea The Bayley family has been catching lobsters and digging tasty things out of the sand for a long time. At first for their own use but around 1915 they started selling the extras to the public and have been doing it ever since. The seafood is caught locally and processed right in Scarborough, so it just can't get any fresher or more inexpensive. This isn't really a restaurant in the true sense of the word, most of the orders are take out. However they will cook your bugs for you it you ask them and then you can take them to the lovely deck in the back of the building and sit outside and make a mess by the water. Although Bayley's is known for the incredible lobsters they also have other sea bugs like clams, scallops, steamers, crabs, shrimp and some great chowder. A wide variety of different sea creatures for every taste. Bayley's is a must visit for anyone going to Scarborough and if you happen to know someone that never had lobster before this is the place to take them. Everything here is about as good as it gets and the prices can only be better if you go out and catch the critter yourself.

    Best chowdah !

    We found this place driving around on Grand from Old Orchard Beach - thank goodness!! Bayley's was amazing: The beer was good although I was a little bit ticked off by the plastic, branded beer cups (why not glass or straight from the bottle?), the chowder (I think this was the best NE clam chowder from our entire trip!), the lobster (what was this called, "tha monsta"?), the people (nice staff and great patrons.) We'll be sure to visit Bayley's again the next time we're up in Maine.

    We buy lobsters and lobster rolls from here every summer. Now they have a little bar on their pier and tables to eat on. Everything I've ever ordered from here has been yummy. Lobster rolls, crab rolls, shrimp rolls, all on chewy fresh rolls. Today I had a steamed 1 1/2 lb lobster that came with an ear of corn. It was $13. You can't beat that! They will cook your lobsters for free, just call ahead. Lobster rolls are $12.99. You can also buy the shucked lobster meat by the lb.

The flavoring on both rolls was subtle, but that allowed the natural tastes and sweetness of the lobster and crab to come through. Sort of a side of the road place, so if you miss it, you'll have to double back. But it'll be worth it!

I put the supposed butter i was given on a plate and it stayed liquid at room temp, so it was some sort of yellow oil butter imitation, and it didnt taste like butter at all, real butter becomes solid at room temp. After I paid and left I noticed they had sticks of real butter in the refrigerator with all the drinks. ... Also, the lobsters were not cooked in salt water, just plain water. All the good places Ive ever been to cook lobster in salt water which brings out the flavor and makes a delicious lobster broth when you crack the shells. Also, the coleslaw just tasted like mayonase. They had a bunch of kids working there who were probably new and their first job and maybe not trained yet. Nice outdoor seating space. Nice spot near ocean, can feel sea air. Hopefully management will see this review and make some changes in the future; as the lobster is the main attraction here, two giant red lobster signs on the building.
