While we’re told that visitors come to Maine during the summer for fun and the outdoors, the REAL reason is probably food related. We’ve got tons of great options, but nothing is more synonymous with Vacationland than lobster! Simply driving up US-1 will reveal hidden shacks and roadside stops with good options, but those who continue on to find this lobster pound in midcoast Maine won’t be disappointed!
Its location right on the water with access to a constant supply of the freshest lobster, makes Young’s Lobster Pound one of the best places to satiate your seafood cravings in Maine.

Their lobster rolls are nothing fancy - just tons of lobster on a buttered and grilled bun.

Young’s is open year-round, but summertime means sitting outside watching the boats come and go.

And, of course, cracking open the perfect lobster and the perfect local brew.

Things are BYOB here, so you could manage to stay all day if you bring enough cold ones.

But even if you don’t bring anything to drink, it might take you all day just to finish the massive platters of seafood you’ll end up ordering.
