If there's one thing that comes to everyone's mind when they think about Maine, it's lobster! Fresh from the sea, buttered and wedged between a roll or in any other form, this is one food that can't be missed on a trip to Maine. But there are so many places to get it, so how do you choose? We love the idea of making this particular spot a priority. Their lobster is fresh-caught, and the views are some of the most beautiful we've seen. Plus, as a unique Maine general store, you can get just about anything else you might need while you're there. For some seriously fresh lobster, check out Pool Lobster at Goldthwaite's in Maine!
Welcome to Pool Lobster located in Biddeford Pool.
This Maine general store and restaurant combo has been creating fantastic memories for nearly 20 years.
Pool Lobster sits on Saco Bay and offers visitors the opportunity to see up the coast and out onto the water. This is a fantastic place to see why the coast of Maine is believed to be one of the most beautiful places on earth.
The views are great, but it's the food we love most.
Its “scratch” kitchen, means that just about everything they serve is made fresh when it's ordered. You won't find anything pre-made, which means you can be sure what you're eating is the best around.
It has a lovely dining area that feels casual and fun.
But it's the outdoor picnic tables that most people prefer. Even on a cloudy day, the views are incredible.
From fried food to fresh lobster, grabbing your meal to enjoy here or at home is a great plan for any day.
While we love Maine's seafood takeout joints, this isn't quite that. The food here feels a bit more thoughtful and the results are beautiful.
While you can't imbibe on the grounds, you'll definitely want to grab a bottle of wine or local beer to take home with you along with any other sundries you might need. This Maine general store has everything you could need!
And even if you're ready to head home after your meal and shopping experience, take some time to appreciate the sunset over Saco Bay. You won't regret it.
