Downeast Lobster Pound

Excellent dinner experience at Downeast. You order at the counter and they give you a pager to carry with you that pings when your order is ready. Seating options are outside, upstairs or a small dining area indoors close to the kitchen. You can see the lobster they will cook for you when you order. The lobster was delicious and the lobster roll was very good. We also really enjoyed the bisque and the blueberry pie. This place is nothing fancy but the food is wonderful! The service is outstanding. We would definitely return and we highly recommend a stop here if you are in the Bar Harbor area.

The staff is friendly. The food is good. The tackleboxes holding the condiments are cute. And that's where the positives end. Plastic utensils make digging in the lobsters difficult at best. The place looks run down. No one was cleaning the tables. We, and two other tables, had to wipe our own down. The bathroom was in a detached shed which only one person could use at a time, and was not the cleanest. My wife refused to use it at all. The water barley came out of the faucet she there was no soap. None at all. I gave them one star for the food and one for the cashier's friendliness.

This place is awesome. Very authentic Maine lobster spot. They have lobster caught today. You can watch them pick it and cook it in wood fired pot. We had the two lobster with ear of corn. Soooooo good. The people working here are great as well. Very fun and tasty experience. Go here, you won't be sorry. The only downside is they don't have much for indoor seating so if the weather is cooler you may end up outside or up stairs in an open dinning area. But don't let that stop you.

Food was really good and fresh, I especially loved the lobster bisque. The girl working at the counter was really nice and took a picture of my family and I with the lobster statue. Service was fast and the outdoor seating is nice!

They were open, which is different from other lobster pounds in the area at the ?end of the season?. We got a quick couple of lobster rolls and they were excellent.
