Lunch/dinner recommendations for Lobster in Bangor/Acadia Area
The title says it all... looking for casual places, for either lunch or dinner, where lobster and other seafood will be on the menu. Very flexible on price.
Thank you very much!

I don't think there is a restaurant in Bar Harbor that doesn't have lobster on the menu! My preference, if you are talking about a whole lobster, is to eat it at a picnic table at a pound/shack. Are you looking for something "fancier"?
Not sure how Bangor fits into this--it's a boring hours drive inland from BH.

We are staying in Bangor and making the 1 hour drive to Acadia/BH, so a Bangor dinner option would be helpful. Otherwise, a lobster shack is fine, but an actual restaurant would also be nice (doesn't have to be fancy).

There's a bakeshop run by Friars, they serve lobster rolls once or twice a week...you'd have to phone in advance, they are very good lobster rolls.
Dysart's Truck Stop is great, and Eagle's Nest in nearby Brewer. McLaughlin's is the local Bangor lobster shack/lobster pound/lobsters-to-go etc.
On the drive up, be sure to stop off near Colby College for a cone at North Street Dairy. If you're on route 95 it's just a mile off the freeway. Or are you flying into Bangor?
Hope you get to take a day trip up to Moosehead Lake!

Thanks, clark, these are great suggestions!
No flying...10 day road trip. Stopping in Bangor on the way up to Halifax/Bay of Fundy. On the way home, a few days hiking Acadia and visiting Bar Harbor with Bangor as our homebase.
Can't wait!

Not trying to be a PITA, but In case you haven't been to MDI before...
There is only one small road, and there are lots of day-trippers, so you'll likely be stuck in a long line of cars on your daily commute. No fun.
I'll stop now. Hoping you have a great trip!
