Lobster Roll Wichips
We got to the joint and there was lots of parking. There was a line to order, we waited around 10 minutes during peak dinner rush. Staff was friendly and helpful with recommendations. They are prepping to close so they are slimming down their menu. A 1.5 pound lobster was 20 bucks, which was a good price. The clam chowder was more expensive than other spots in the area at 12 bucks. They pick the lobster right in front of you. It was fast service and a very juicy lobster. Would go again

Lobster Tank
This is the place to go for lobster! Skip Bar Harbor’s ridiculously overpriced options and get fresh, delicious lobster dishes at Downeast Lobster Pound! We got a single steamer lobster, a lobster roll, and the New England clam chowder. Everything was amazing and super fresh. They pre-crack the steamer lobsters for you, which made it pretty easy to get all the meat out without too much fuss or mess. The clam chowder was also very tasty - they hit that perfect consistency of thick and creamy without it being gloopy or too heavy.
Be aware - this is a no frills place. If you’re looking for cozy or chic dining, go to Bar Harbor. You place your order at the counter and then go sit until your food is ready to pick up. There is a nice open/partially wind shielded upstairs deck as well as a little inside area. It was plenty comfortable to eat and hang out.

We loved Downeast and stopped in twice in the same day. Nothing fancy, but reasonably priced lobster and a convenient location if you're coming or going from Acadia or Bar Harbor. The blueberry pie was also very good.

For less than $30/40 you can have 2/3 alive and kicking lobsters, how good is that! That’s a way better price than in Bar Harbor.

This place was so great we went twice while visiting the area. Even though they only had 2 working the kitchen, food still came out fast and it was so yummy! They also have the best prices around for lobster! While going twice, we enjoyed lobster, clam chowder, fried clams, and fish and chips. All delicious!! Also the bartender was great and so friendly! He let us air play the playoff Rangers game while there, and he made us feel right at home. This place is family friendly, and I cannot recommend it enough!!
