Cook's Lobster House

Cook's Lobster House Review

What began as a lobster shack on Bailey's Island in 1955 has grown into this huge, internationally famous family-style restaurant, complete with its own gift shop. The restaurant still catches its own fish and seafood, so you can count on the lobster casserole and the haddock sandwich to be delectable. But along with fame come prices; the shore dinner—the most expensive menu option—is $43, and includes a 1¼-lb lobster with steamed or fried clams or mussels, a choice of sides, and a bowl of chowder or lobster stew. Whether you choose inside or deck seating, you can watch the activity on the water: men checking lobster pots and kayakers fanning across the bay.
