My husband and I found this while driving from Bangor to Rockland (for Lobsterfest). We ducked in to avoid a thunderstorm and had no idea what to expect. I got little neck clams and then we split a 2.5lb lobster. The clams were as sweet as I've ever tasted and the lobster was done to perfection. We had no idea... more

We take our annual trek to Maine in early August to visit family and I cannot wait to pull into the lot of Young's Lobster Pound. Somehow, it's not "Maine" until I've sunk my teeth into the best lobster eating on earth. We love to sit down and enjoy lobster right there on site on their outdoor dining patio, then... more

I have been going to Young's Lobster Pound each summer since 1994. It is, by far, my FAVORITE place to experience food on earth. It's BYOB and the menu is simple. They have seating inside or outside on picnic tables. Those "in the know" bring a bottle of wine, their own table cloth, and some appetizers to enjoy while their... more

We have visited family in Maine for years but never went to this place. It is one of the most unique restaurants I've even visited. It is really a place that sells fresh seafood and provides seating for you along the ocean. It is fun just to tour the place. It is full of large bins of lobster with sea... more

Lobsters made fresh, plain and simple! Don't expect a fancy menu, this is a lobster farm, not a French bistro. They serve sodas but I've seen people bring their own beverage. more

It was last winter when my fiance' and I came to Belfast to visit her family. When I asked a local gentleman about where to have a great lobster dinner he referred me to Young's lobster pound. We went and had lunch and it was great!! Then on our last day we stopped by to see about taking some home... more

We had terrible lobster rolls here. They were served on a lukewarm, untoasted hamburger bun. It certainly did not have as much lobster as I have had elsewhere and had too much lettuce. Much of the lobster was shredded, rather than chunk. I should have known better when I saw that everyone else in the place was having a whole... more

I feel like a jerk for buying into the hoopla surrounding these authentic maine lobster pounds. At least this one. Considering the absence of overhead costs (depsite a wonderful harbor view), the prices were outlandish and, truth be told, the food no better than the local Red Lobster in Philadelphia. My seafood bisque, for instance, was both tasteless and thinner... more

We accidently came upon this dive and if we could have eaten there once a day, we would. It's definitely a dock restaurant but the lobster is amazing, the view beautiful, the lobster cooked so perfectly we asked why there's would taste better than anyone else's (no answer) Stop by when you can! more
