We have been coming to the Lobster Shack for over four years now. We lived the old location! Yet…read moreunfortunately due to the hurricane it was at a loss. We dined there two years ago with family and were very satisfied. This year we stopped in and were and were more on the disappointed side. My husband ordered the Clam Basket, he said very little flavor , The onion rings were bland as well he mentioned ( Crispy but bland) The oysters on the half shell though were very fresh and we were satisfied with those. My husband had the coleslaw and he said it tasted " off"". I had the Lobster Stew ( which was very good I will add.) The cornbread was very dry and lacked flavor. I ordered a Shrimp Roll thinking it would be more like a lobster roll with mayo , they were frozen fried shrimp on a toasted bun ( very dry no tarter sauce , just cocktail sauce ) and French Fries that were definitely frozen not hand cut . The atmosphere is good , there is a very nice view of Lincolnville Beach. The service was fantastic, our waitress had a great personality and was cheerful and accommodating! Though we have been coming here for a number of years , I do not see a return in the future unfortunately.

There's plenty of outdoor seating with shade & heaters. They bring your food straight to your table for you, and they were kind enough to turn on the heaters for us without us even asking. I hadn't even realized how chilly it was until then. We ordered the crabmeat roll, lobster roll, potato salad, clam chowder, and the blueberry pie. I honestly was impressed by their serving size and pricing. Definitely very fair pricing and the rolls are packed with meat. I was so hungry I didn't expect to be full, but their portion sizes definitely filled us all up. I don't have much experience with lobster rolls since I'm not from the Northeast, BUT I would say that these rolls were among the best I've had during my travels both on this trip and prior trips in the Northeast. It's also so convenient that they're right outside the National park so you don't even have to drive that far to find them. Great food and great pricing for being right outside a National park. If I ever come back to Acadia, I would 100% stop by here for some food again.

Was looking for a lobster pound for reasonably priced lobsters and this place was okay. $15.95 per…read morepound that includes the jumbo soft shell lobsters. Was told it was a great deal.. so decided to order 2 lobsters and it was 4.9 lbs, $78 total with 2 corns. They were sweet and huge but not sure it was worth it. I still prefer the 1.25 pound lobster and just get 2. The steamers were expensive $20 for just a pound and will definitely not order it again.. but the clam chowder was great. For $125, it was too much money, we were satisfied but was hungry a few hours later. But its bar harbor, nothing is cheap and you have a great view of the Cadillac mountain. I live part time in Maine, so this review may have been biased because there's plenty of other places that's cheaper than this spot.

Just went there this afternoon. Downeast is across the street from Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound…read more(which seems to be slightly more popular). I chose Downeast because I've heard good things about it. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my twin lobster combo (two smaller lobsters with corn & butter, $30 altogether). My husband had the $36 lobster melt, which someone else reviewed poorly and I sort of understand why. The lobster melt definitely seems to be overpriced. It's hard to understand why it's $6 more than the twin lobster combo. But they must price them with enough reasons. I'm not running the business, so I'm just looking at it from a customer's perspective.

We had to wait ten minutes for a waitress to acknowledge us when she brought us waters, and another ten minutes before she came back to take our order. They were out of multiple items on both the food and drinks menus. But once we put in our orders it was smooth sailing after that. My son got fried haddock bites from the kids menu, and I got the haddock sandwich. The food came out quickly and my sandwich was perfect. The coleslaw is made in house and is delicious as well. Fries were average though. Beautiful spot in a perfect, quintessential Maine town. Would definitely come back again.

We started with one of the daily specials Cajun haddock bites, they were good but I think they would have been better without the Cajun seasoning which was a dry addition after it was cooked.

Our server was very nice and the food was served very quickly. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a good meal.
