Great food with an outdoor screened in area besides inside. The lobster was fantastic. The person who was grilling the lobster was outside, knowledgeable and friendly. All different sizes were available. The only downgrade was because of the cole slaw. Very bland.

I had been hearing about this restaurant for two years on the radio. We finally had the chance to go recently. The food was excellent. It was clean, fresh, and the type of food I would cook at home. Many type of seafood to choose from and I noticed there was steak and other things to order. We both had... More 

Restaurant was recommend by the hotel staff. This was a great find. Located at the river's edge in the Ellsworth ME. Only open for dinner starting at 5:00PM. Food was delicious, service staff was very efficient and courteous. Lobster's were cooked outside in cooking pots. People waiting could sit outside on lawn chairs overlooking the river. Place is always crowed... More 

We tried the lobster shore dinner which had a 1.25 lb lobster, a bunch of steamed mussels and steamer, fries, and a bowl of clam chowder for $29.50.

Had a great dinner here.....fantastic seafood! Got to watch the fellow in action, cooking the lobsters....lobsters everywhere--he knew what he was doing! Very friendly staff, on top of everything.

Part of this is on us for ordering the seafood platter but we are not fans of whole lobsters or mussels so we both ordered the seafood platter thinking it would be a fine ending for our Maine trip, but was no better than what you get at a chain restaurant. One third of the plate was covered by tarter... More 

My husband and I visited the Union River Lobster Pot on a recent trip to Bar Harbor. We stayed in Ellsworth and were looking for a local place with awesome seafood. The lady at our hotel recommended this place and we were pleasantly surprised. We showed up around 7pm and were seated immediately. My husband had the Lobster Pie and... More 

The place to go in Ellsworth if you are looking for fresh lobster. We chose lazy lobster with the meat already out of the shell and found it tasty, properly cooked, and served warm. Nothing fancy but ample portions and good service.
