I love Maine Lobster - it truly is the best. My husband and I enjoyed a fantastic, reasonably-priced lobester lunch on the pier overlooking downtown Boothbay across the harbor. The great part was that we could even bring our well-behaved little doggie to enjoy lunch with us!

We have been to Boothbay for several years in a row and have always had the best lobster on this wharf. It is so relaxing sit on the dock and watch the boats sail by. The prices are about equal to other places in town but the quality much better. Indoor and outdoor seating, Full bar. Self service.

This was the sixteenth year my family and I have eaten here, it used to be the Lobsterman's Co-op but is now the Lobsterman's Wharf the name may have changed but the food hasn't. The Lobster Rolls are fresh and delicious and I usually order two at a time along with a pint of fried scallops which are also fresh... More

This is where the locals eat lobster. My aunt, who lives in town, took us here. Good food, great prices, fun atmosphere. Make sure to leave some room for ice cream.

Since I was staying in Boothbay Harbor, my fiance and I went over here to get some steamed lobsters for dinner one nite. Place has great ambience being right on the water and all. We wanted hard shell lobsters but they were out. So we ordered a couple of soft shells. Turns out, we like soft shells more due to... More

So - we had to choose between this place and several others and went with this one because the reviews sounded pretty good. I'll add that my boyfriend LOVES lobster, I on the other hand have discovered that if I eat seafood (which I love) I want it to be cleaned, cooked, and presented to me in a neat dish... More

In Maine, and in Boothbay Harbor, there are many places for lobsters. We enjoyed the freshest, sweetest, tender lobsters we have ever eaten. When the lobsters go from the ocean, to the boat, to the saltwater holding tank, to boiling saltwater, to you, it doesn't get better than that. the place is clean, the staff is great, and the prices...

Bayberry Inn owner Ted suggested this restaurant for authenic Maine lobster experience and his advice was right on target. The view of the setting sun in the harbor was so good that the food could have been irrelevant, but the lobster and corn on the cob followed by "whoopie pie" was outstanding and very reasonably priced. The fried seafood platter... More

We were staying at Brown's next door but we had missed breakfast and their restaurant was not serving lunch. (I think it was a Sunday) so Brown's recommended Boothbay Lobster Wharf. The parking lot is tight when full and sloping downhill. Once you park and get out of your car, you see several buildings where you order your food and... More
