Lubec in 1 day

If you only have 1 day to spend in Lubec, we’ve narrowed down the top places you should check out to get the best experience of your time here.
Lubec, the easternmost town in the United States, offers dramatic coastal scenery, working waterfronts, and a quiet small-town atmosphere. Visitors can explore Quoddy Head State Park and its iconic red-and-white West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, with trails leading to cliffs and frequent fogbound vistas. The area is known for bird- and whale-watching opportunities in the Gulf of Maine and nearby Bay of Fundy.

With favorites like Sunset Point RV Park, Lubec Brewing Co., and Quoddy Head State Park, we’ll make sure you don’t miss out on all the must sees.

State park
Nature & Parks
Quoddy Head State Park is located on the easternmost peninsula of the United States, offering stunning views of the Quoddy Channel and Grand Manan Island's red cliffs. The park spans over 500 acres and features scenic trails, diverse wildlife including purple sandpipers and humpback whales, and the historic West Quoddy Head Light. Visitors of all ages can enjoy easy hikes along picturesque cliff views, with options like the Coast Guard Trail running for about one mile.
Awesome visit, even in the rain! Like being in a postcard. Exceptionally kept walking trails along the rocky cliff. I noticed a few elderly visitors managing the paths without difficulty. Picnic tables and barbecues in locations with spectacular views along with the salty air is a one of a kind experience. Don't miss it!

Beautiful lighthouse with scenic coastal trails. When we arrived, it was foggy, but luckily it cleared up enough for us to catch views of the nearby islands and a little bit of Canada! The hiking trails along the shore are peaceful and well-kept. Our phones switched to the Canadian time zone while we were there, which made the drive seem longer than expected until we realized what happened. A unique spot worth visiting.
Lynn T — Google review
This place was beautiful…abundant and outstanding views from well cared for grounds and walking paths. We were there on an absolutely gorgeous day with loads of marine wildlife and sea birds visible. The walking paths down to the rocky beach are a nice bonus. Plenty of parking and well worth the trip.
Chris M — Google review
A beautiful lighthouse at the end of the United States. A beautiful little park that you pay on the honor system. They have a bathroom located about 100 yards from the lighthouse. The lighthouse is handicap accessible, and there is parking closer to it. This lighthouse is a must visit if you’re on the east coast of northern Maine with great views of the Bay of Fundy and Canada across the way. This is a great place to enjoy and there are small hikes. This is a no drone zone. If you’re coming here, don’t forget to bring a few dollars with you so you can make a donation to get in. If you’re parking, there’s plenty of parking spots, but it is not paved just in case you like your fancy car.

West Quoddy Head Lighthouse and State Park is absolutely gorgeous! We only stopped briefly to see the lighthouse and snap a photo at the easternmost point of the United States, but it’s clear this spot deserves much more time. The park has beautiful trails and breathtaking views that make it worth a longer visit. Highly recommend adding it to your Maine trip!
Serena C — Google review
Well worth the hour detour to see the easternmost point in the continental US. Even on a cloudy day, it was a great view of the Maine coast and a lovely light house. We did not spend much time, but looked like a nice place to hike and spend some quit time outside.
HannaH W — Google review
My mom and I visited Quoddy Head State Park on Monday, September 29th. The building was closed because of the head lighthouse was the need of more painting but we spent a good time to look at the lighthouse, the surroundings, and the ocean! Also, we went out for a walk on Inland Trail and saw the Sail Rock and Grand Manal Channel of Canada. It was another great state park to see. It was very quiet being there but we saw a bunch of people there. Also, there’s a lack of WiFi connection because our phones thought we were in the Canada. We surprisingly didn’t know this state park is also at the easternmost point of the United States of America!

Awesome lighthouse to visit and super nice grounds. We did the longer of the hikes and it was soooo worth it. The 4.3 mile hike was not very difficult, took aboht 2.5 hours with multiple stops and photos. Super awesome place to visit and the eastern most point in the United States.

West Quoddy Head Lighthouse is a well-preserved historic site with a charming keeper's house and an on-site visitor's center. The small museum offers insightful displays about the lighthouse's history, local flora and fauna, as well as a guide to whale watching. Visitors can enjoy stunning views from the picnic area and explore coastal trails with glimpses of Grand Manan Island across the Quoddy Channel.
Very fun to say you've been to the easternmost point in the contiguous US! Quiet location with a few neat walking trails and sights. Worth the drive from Bar Harbor / Acadia area for a day trip!
William M — Google review
Such a great stop for the whole family. It’s really affordable and super easy to get to, which made it stress-free. It was busy when we went, but it never felt crowded or overwhelming. The views are gorgeous, and there are miles of scenic trails that are well-marked, easy to walk, and perfect for just wandering around and taking it all in. Just a short walk or drive away there’s also a little sandy beach that was a big hit with the kids. Nice and clean, and a great place to relax for a while. Between the lighthouse, the trails, and the beach, there’s plenty to see and do without feeling rushed. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

This was a great point of interest! The light house and the views were so pretty! If you make ot to the light house there is a trail that takes you on a beautiful hike on the cliffs edge with breath taking views and one of our favorite beaches we visited!
Jordan C — Google review
The lighthouse was closed for the day but the view from the cliff was nice, and we easily found some nice hiking/walking trails in that state park. They led to the rocks at low tide and provided some very nice views. The trail into the arctic bog was more fascinating than expected.
Howard K — Google review
780-mile drive? Worth. Every. Mile. This red-and-white striped beauty sits at the easternmost tip of the continental U.S.—cue dramatic Atlantic waves, salty breezes, and jaw-dropping views. Stroll the cliffs, snap the iconic “Welcome to the East” sign, and watch the light sweep across the ocean—it’s a total soul reset. Lubec’s cozy streets and fresh seafood make it the perfect road-trip cherry on top. Pro tip: Dress in layers—this lighthouse has a personality, and it’s windy.
Lawkaanat — Google review
A few other people but beautiful and definitely a place to hangout for a little bit. The 2 hikes right there on the cliffs have amazing views as well.

Unfortunately it was foggy for the sunrise but it cleared up in a few hours, to be a beautiful day, well worth the walk around and down to the water, many different geological features in a condensed area.

The Quoddy Head lighthouse.. is the eastern most point in the contiguous United States. It’s a nice lighthouse to see. I would like to note that in the first picture I did remove the fence that they have to make a better picture. Thought I’d be honest. Enjoy! It’s a great stop.

Sunset Point RV Park

RV park
Campground
Sunset Point RV Park offers a pleasant surprise for those seeking a campground experience. Despite its more RV park-like setup, the atmosphere is respectful and quiet, with beautiful surroundings including a small beach and stunning sunsets. The proximity to town and the availability of supplies for cooking seafood on-site add to the appeal. The facilities are clean, reasonably priced, and well-maintained by friendly staff who are knowledgeable about local events.
Super Friendly. Quiet and amazingly beautiful. Felt like we stepped back to a simpler, sweeter time. Clean bathrooms, shower. Very well run with the best vibe. Will definitely stay again.

This was a great place to stay. We primarily hammock and tent camping which make this place a little more interesting to stay since it rained the night we stayed. There are built up structures that they have a picnic table under and made it much more pleasant because of the weather. This was a great place for the view in the morning! It was gorgeous. The facilities were really nice!
Samantha H — Google review
Pull through sites are extremely tight. I watched several drivers struggle to park their campers. Sites 1 through 4 must share a campfire ring precariously placed on a hillside, with no place for seating. Many of the other sites have fire rings and tables across the road. Yes, the price is low but if I wanted to camp like this, I would have stayed in my driveway. Who designed this place?
Mike H — Google review
We stayed at Sunset Point for four days on a friend’s recommendation, and it was exactly what we were hoping for—small, quiet, and super friendly. The owners were great, and one of the main reasons we chose this place was because they bring all the lobster cooking gear right to your site. That experience alone was worth the stay. It was my first time cooking lobster, and the owner took time to walk me through the process, giving me tips and advice. Thanks to him, the lobster cook went off without a hitch, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. If we ever come back to Lubec, we’d absolutely stay here again. In fact, if you're visiting Maine at all, it’s worth adding Sunset Point to your route just for the lobster cook experience—it’s that good.

Candy store
Dessert shop
Monica's Chocolates is a multifaceted establishment that encompasses an American restaurant, gift shop, jewelry store, and clothing boutique. The restaurant offers free off-street parking and is pet-friendly with accessibility features for disabled individuals. Monica, the owner, immigrated from Peru and built the business from scratch, crafting homemade chocolates in the basement daily. While slightly pricey, the delectable chocolates are beautifully presented and worth every penny.
We stopped by Monica's Chocolates as we just purchased a property in the area (right down the road!) and I had heard so much about Monica's Chocolates.. and let me tell you what a delight! The store, the atmosphere, meeting Monica! what a lovely lady and so gracious. The chocolate is absolutely divine. The Strawberry Wine Truffles are to {{seriously}} die for as well as the dark and milk and WHITE chocolate blueberry clusters! The jewelry is beyond affordable and the alpaca sweater collection is gorgeous. We are looking forward to a wonderful chocolate relationship with this neighboring boutique. How blessed are we?? (Dave & Ellen) thank you Monica - it was lovely to meet you and chat a bit.
Ellen C — Google review
Cute little shop that sells many different types of items. We stopped here to try the chocolates. We got some dark chocolate sea cucumbers, dark chocolate covered blueberries, and a small little chocolate lobster. All of the chocolate is tasty, the cucumber is a mix of carmel and peanut butter in chocolate which paired wonderfully with my wife's coffee.
Alex D — Google review
Monica's offers a wide variety of chocolate confections. It's so hard to choose just one item, and we always buy several different kinds. Truffles are my favorite. The store also has jewelry, and the woven things made in Peru are beautiful and well made.

We visit in Monica’s chocolates for the second time in about 10 years. Check out this cool place located on your way to Canada. The staff is super friendly and handed us a basket so we could pick up more chocolate now these are not your regular Hershey chocolate bars so the price is gonna be a little bit more expensive but besides having delicious chocolates inside, they also sold jewelry and they accept credit card. I do not believe they have a bathroom on site but they have plenty of parking in the parking lot. It is a dirt lot. We brought home some little chocolates.

I have wanted to go to Monica 's Chocolate for a while now. I saw a PBS story on Monica. This store DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! The Chocolate was the best I have ever had! My husband and I tried every type she makes( dark, milk, white) they are all delicious. My favorite is the chocolate covered Carmel. You have to try the sea cucumbers!
Brenda T — Google review
Monica makes all the chocolate fillings on site using her own recipes that are a blend of local and Peruvian flavors. (She even makes her own peanut butter from scratch!) The result is a wide variety of delicious chocolates that you won't find anywhere else. The caramel that appears in many of the flavors is unbelievably rich, creamy and flavorful. No wonder she has won so many awards and accolades!
VanTilburg F — Google review
Unexpected gem in the middle of nowhere. Very much worth the stop. Monica is very sweet and friendly and is there working hard every day, April through December. Highly recommend the berry “salsa” (spread/compote), as well as the various bonbons! The pecan bonbon was a favorite of our trip and we wish we had bought more than one of each flavor.

Motel
Whale watching tour agency
"The Inn on the Wharf" is a charming bayside motel located in a former factory, offering picturesque water views and boat storage. The staff is known for being exceptionally friendly and helpful. The spacious rooms provide beautiful direct views over the water, with guests often too captivated by the scenery to miss having a TV in their rooms. Common areas are perfect for socializing while enjoying the stunning view, and there's a convenient common kitchen with morning coffee available.
I can't recommend this inn, enough. My husband and I have stayed there a few times the last few months while looking to purchase property in Lubec. And the rooms here are delightful and charming. Clean and the host, Nadia, is just lovely and so accommodating. Stay here if you get the chance. The view is STUNNING.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The views from our room were out of this world. Saw an eagle fly by outside our window one day. Room was quaint and clean. Staff were really friendly. Restaurant had really good food and the wait staff were very friendly and attentive. Took the Downeast Charter Boat Tours which is located beside the Inn. Captain was super friendly and knowledgeable. We saw a Minke whale, seals and bald eagles!

I went often in years pastand maybe it's changed hands but definitely it's changed machines. The waitress brought a bill to our table, no breakdown of prices, she had put her own 20% tip in and there was no way to change the default. Maybe it's not even her fault and it defaults to 18-20%. I asked if I could put my own tip in and she got defensive. There was no way to change the tip to what I wanted. If I eat here again, I'll definitely pay cash!

Natasha went above and beyond for us! We called last minute (at night) and set us up in a wonderful apartment with 2 King Beds & 2 Full bathrooms! Included was a washer and dryer, which was a bonus! They even cooked us meals even though the restaurant had just closed. The bed was very comfortable! We couldn't have asked for more! Thank You!!
Susan B — Google review
Unexpected gem. We read reviews, and I think there's some confusion about the parts of the inn--there's a section that is closer to the restaurant, and then this section, more recently built, which are more independent rooms. Grab the latter! The view of this hotel is remarkable: We got up early to view th sunrise, and it was spectacular. And if there's fog (which, be clear--there probably will be), it's a moody and serene experience. The room itself is very stark, but it's all about the view. Disliked · If noise bothers you, be aware that creaking floorboards from above happens--pay for the upper unit. If sharing a deck bothers you, pay for the upper unit. You basically hear everything. The room is also a bit Spartan, but it's ok for us. The view makes up for it.

BED BUGS IN THE RUM RUNNER ROOM! Booked this place for our anniversary and, as we were settling in for bed, noticed bed bug nymphs crawling all over the pillows and from beneath the comforter. Immediately grabbed all of our belongings and called the front desk to report it. The owner arrived shortly thereafter with another staff member to inspect, confirming our suspicions. She indicated that she only bought the place last year, that the cottages are owned by a separate entity than the rest of the inn, and that this sort of thing happens since “people just bring these on their luggage.” She shared that she owns another operation in Missouri that has had an infestation and that the treatment is very difficult to take care of. She asked us what our plans were, and dumbfounded, we said we might end up staying in our car since finding accommodations on short notice this far out at 10pm would be challenging. She in turn asked us to keep her on call if we couldn’t find anything. Soon after calling around without success, we reached back out to ask if she could provide guidance on where to go. Unfortunately, we were not accommodated elsewhere as there did not appear to be any vacancy all the way through to Bangor and she did not offer us another place onsite. In the text chain that followed, the owner offered to strip the sheets/remake the bed and allow us to stay at a discount. We declined and indicated that we were expecting a full refund. Her response then consisted of implying that what all of us collectively confirmed to be bed bugs were not, in fact, bed bugs since the staff serving the building for years had never seen them there before, further adding that “insects are insects.” Rather than engage further, we cut our anniversary trip short and drove home four hours through the night. It should also be mentioned that the room had a faint malodor similar to raw sewage when we arrived that mostly dissipated after running the bathroom fan and that beneath the bed had not been cleaned or swept likely all season. I hope that this pattern of procurement of real estate assets in Downeast as just another investment in a portfolio by out-of-state interests does not continue down this path of neglect as it will irreparably harm the charm of places like Lubec. We were refunded in the end.

I’m going to help you and the brewery out- they have NO food here, as of Covid 2020. When we visited today they explained they don’t know how to change the reviews on Google, and, sure enough, ourselves and probably 4-5 other couples stopped in while we were there looking for food. They do allow you grab food from somewhere close by and eat it there, but in mid October, the selections were very limited. Limited beer options too at the end of the season.

Roosevelt Cottage

4.9
(250)
Historical place museum
Roosevelt Cottage, originally built in 1897 and purchased by FDR's mother in 1909, is a historic summer residence with 34 rooms historically decorated to reflect the 1920s. The on-site interpretive hosts provide insightful information about the Roosevelts and their time there. Visitors can enjoy Eleanor's tea time with delicious tea and ginger cookies. The tour of the cottage is highly recommended, as well as exploring nearby hiking trails in International Park and Provincial Park.
My wife & I stumbled upon this cottage while on a quick day trip into Canada from Maine, and it was an unexpected surprise. The house and grounds are beautiful and well kept, and the staff was great. Being a bit of a U.S. president nerd, I really enjoyed the time here. I’d recommend anyone visit here!
Bill G — Google review
Loved this Cottage. My family and I had stumbled across this historic site by accident. I never knew that this cottage existed. You first start out by watching a 10 minute film at the gift shop. Then you walk down to the cottage and take a guided tour. The house was simply beautiful and had much character. Unfortunately I couldn't give the cottage a 5 star because our tour guide continued to throw "shots" and "low blows" at America and Americans. I felt like the guide talked more about America and how bad it was as opposed to the actual facts about the house. I felt nervous to ask any questions because I was afraid she may say something rude to me since I was American. The energy of the tour group gave nervous. I'd like to come back one day and give this house another try. Over all I would recommend you stop and tour the home because its so historical hopefully your guide gives more information than mine did.

This is the summer home of the Roosevelt's since the beginning of the 20th century. Franklin and his family visited even whilst he was President. The odd thing is that due to various historical events. Some predating the Revolutionary War, the island that is surrounded on three sides by the USA is actually Canadian. It is the world's only international park The Roosevelt's never put in electricity or telephones. It was quiet and pristine. Today the park has electricity and flush toilets. 😉 Friendly coffee shop

Where to eat

Under a 1-minute walk from The Inn on the Wharf, here are a few close by recommendations for when you get hungry exploring around.

Fisherman’s Wharf Restaurant

4.1
(638)
Seafood restaurant
Located in the easternmost part of the United States, Fisherman’s Wharf Restaurant is a charming American eatery offering a diverse seafood menu. With both indoor and heated deck seating, it provides stunning views of the Lubec Channel and Campobello Island. The restaurant is known for its delicious lobster, scallops, and haddock dishes. Despite some feedback about sticky tables, visitors praise the amazing food and relaxing atmosphere at this waterfront gem.
Nice fishhouse on a wharf. Nothing fancy, nothing trashy. Great food, straight forward service and atmosphere. Great view. The chowder and lobster rolls were perfect. We ate the clams before I could get a picture. Same with the sardines. If you've never had FRESH sardines, get them here. Dang.

Came here after visiting the lighthouse at quoddy. Prices were reasonable. Food was awesome. Good portions. I had the bowl of lobster stew which was great and a side of fries. Everyone was happy with their meals. Service was very pleasant. Views would have been amazing but for the fog. Gift shop was nice if small. Parking lot is small and down a hill but more parking is available on the street. Definitely recommend.

Visited on Sunday, Memorial day weekend. Place was busy as it was a nice day after a stretch of rain plus the holiday. Food was very good and arrived hot. Service was also very good even though it was a full house. Prices in line with other placeslike this. Views and patio are spectacular.

Food was good but location was great. We had fish and chips they were 25.00 they were good. Good wine and beer list that made it better. They let us sit there for a long time and did not rush us. Would go again.

Stopped in for a lobster roll and beer. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit. We got some local beer, a delicious stuffed lobster roll, and onion rings. 100% recommend the onion ring upgrade over the fries. Great stop for sure.

Only place that was open when I was in Lubec. Had the creamy lobster stew and a lobster roll. The stew had separated and the fat was floating on top of a very watery soup, there was nothing creamy about it. The lobster in the roll had very little flavor. Overall very disappointing considering the location right off the bay.

Disappointed to say the least and $62.00 down the drain for a simple lunch after hiking, while on vacation. We have enjoyed meals there every summer on the patio with our dog. Overpriced and just really bad this year (we’re from Maine).. The seafood chowder looked like dirty dishwater, had no flavor, and I couldn’t tell you what was in it, tiny pieces of something. Grilled haddock burger—fish was overcooked, dried out, chewy and half the size of the bun. I couldn’t believe they served the onion rings to us: burnt, stuck together, inedible. Nobody cared. Service was non existent. The other patio people were just picking at their food too. We later learned they are under new management and looking for cooks and waitresses. We settled for ice cream bars from the store for the ride home. Shame on them.

The good: The views here are likely the best in Lubec, just about every table has a great one and the outside tables can't be beat if the weather is good. The food is really good. The bad: If you order the lobster dinner....pack your patience, as this is a very popular item and seemingly they have don't have a ton of capacity for throughput and it takes a LONG time. Tested this twice. The rest of the food seems to come out at normal speed. Menu prices on the website are very out of date and much higher in reality. The ugly: Prepare to walk in, find a line, but have no clue what to do with it, or if there is no line, prepare to stand there and be ignored. Do I go in? Do I wait here? Some walked around the line and went to the bar...did they cut in front of me or did they have a reservation? Some went to the patio. Seemingly no system (although I am sure there is), but being new in town means you don't know and no one talks to you when you enter. It's the strangest thing as this is the VERY basics of a restaurant. Set the expectations and let me know how long I have to wait, so I can decide to stay, or go somewhere else. Once seated the older lady who waited on us, COULD NOT HAVE CARED LESS about us. Seemingly if you aren't local, you don't rate a smile, or any words other than "ready" and then an abrupt walking away after ordering. Again - this wasn't just us - her attitude was very different from people she clearly knew versus randos. Flies. The bar is just bombarded with by my count, 15 flies. At least the ones I could see. Again ...two visits, a week and half apart, same outcome so that appears to be ops normal. Order cocktails knowing your glassware has VERY likely had flies on it. Fortunately we sat near the bar and saw this so we knew better.

Morano's Authentic Pizza

Pizza restaurant
Morano's Authentic Pizza is the ultimate choice for pizza enthusiasts. Their pizzas stand out as the finest, rivaling even those found in NYC. With an extensive range of options from coast to coast, no other pizzeria comes close to their exceptional quality. Morano's exquisite sauce offers a savory taste that never leans towards sweetness. The cheese is bursting with flavor, and their crust strikes the perfect balance between thinness at its center and a delightful puffy yet crunchy texture on the edges.
Great pizza! We visited for dinner on a Saturday evening in early fall. Bianca pizza was really tasty. Thin crisp crust, fresh toppings, hot, and delicious. Good value. Worth going here.

The pizza crust was good. It was a thin crust. The location was neat as you can watch people returning to the U.S. and the agents questioning them while you eat. I agree with the political stickers they have. We hated the pepperoni and sauce. We won't be back.

Honestly better than any pizza I've ever had in New York or New Haven, CT. Will be making the trip up from Portland when I get cravings! Also, I gotta say, the people running this place are the warmest friendliest folks. Glad I got to support them.

My favorite pizza in Maine, always make it a point to go at least a few times a summer, it’s a bit of a drive but more than worth the trip. Good ingredients, excellent sauce and perfect thin crust!
JJ D — Google review
Pizza soooooo tasty that it makes the easternmost US city feel like a place to stick around for a while!!! Honestly....come for the scenery but stay for the delicious food at Morano's. We had the Bianco pizza (pictured) and am order of meatballs with garlic knots. The kids loved playing corn hole during the short wait for our food, and we dined al fresco at the picnic tables. Delicious and a great value.

I am a SUPER picky pizza person and this is, by far, the BEST pizza I have EVER had! (outside of NYC. And that was years ago.). Every single place I've tried (and there are hundreds, coast to coast), just cannot get it right. Morano's gets it 100%. I am utterly bummed that I live 400 miles away because I would order multiple ones to freeze and have on hand if I could! Pizza sauce should not ever be sweet in any way, shape or form. Morano's is the perfect savory sauce. The cheese is full of flavor and the crust is perfectly thin in the center and puffy/crunchy on the edges. My mouth is watering thinking about it and looking at the pic I took. Every pizza place in the country should take a lesson from Morano's cause this is the absolute real deal.

To be honest, we came here due to Bass Crocker's review. We like to try places that are rated 'the worst', based on one review. Sure glad we did. Service was great, prompt and personable. Pizza was very tasty, just the right amount of sauce, cheese and toppings to blend well. Will be back! Update July 2025: Don't understand the handful of negative reviews - this place is a gem. The pizza is good, thin crust Jersey pizza. The owner is personable and gave us some good tips as to where to see the fireworks. I appreciate a hard worker who produces a great product at a fair price.

If you want pizza in the Town of Lubec, this happens to be just about your only choice. Fortunately, Morano’s does a nice job preparing the pies. They focus on pizza, just pizza and have become good at it. The crust is good, crunchy where it needs to be and the sauce adds to the favor. Because they are popular, they do run out of pizza from time to time. Tip: You are better off to call early and get your order in on the nights they are open. The pizza makers are pleasant and try to accommodate.

HD & Sons Seafood

4.2
(198)
Restaurant
HD & Sons Seafood is an enjoyable American seafood eatery that also features a marketplace. Customers can indulge in delicious seafood dishes while observing the bustling market from the open deck seating area. The restaurant takes pride in how seafood's allure brings people together, surpassing even Bluetooth connectivity, regardless of their backgrounds. The menu offers delectable options like lobster rolls and fish and chips made with superb locally sourced pollack.
the food was amazing. although I would recommend sharing as the portions are huge. my group of 5 girls were beastly hungry and we couldn't even down all of it. we ordered the haddock fish and chips and fried shrimp. now... the service. I've mulled this one over and over in my mind. the wait was 45 min. we were pre warned. not sure if the 45 min was due to the amount of orders, lack of adequate employees, or what.

While it was the last day, severely overcooking our seafood meal was unacceptable. By the time our food came out, we could hear the girl at the counter telling all the other customers everything that they had run out of, So I knew it was pointless to complain about our very overcooked fisherman's platter. The shrimp were smaller than the size of a nickel and the clams were nothing but crunchy remnants of what they could have been. They seriously need to look at their Cooks for next year's season. We wasted $60 on a meal that the girl at the counter bragged about the size of the portion we were to receive.

Shore Thing is a sure thing. Stayed in Lubec 2 nights (June 2024); haddock chowder & lobster roll for takeaway dinner last night, lobster roll again today for lunch. Staff are friendly & seafood tastes great.
Kat V — Google review
Great meal. We had lobster rolls and fish and chips made with some amazing local pollack. The lobster roll came on a perfectly prepared roll and had just the right amount of mayo. The pollack was thick, flaky, and done perfectly. The fries/chips were also done just right...a bit crispy. An excellent and reasonably priced meal. Give them a try!

Fresh and great lobster rolls. Staff are friendly. Waited for 30 mins but worth the wait
Lisa K — Google review
I cannot recommend this place enough! I grew up in Maine and so my first order of business when I come home is fried clams and these were THE BEST fried clams I've ever had! My mom had the fish and chips which was also an excellent piece of fish. What's even better? The tartar sauce and the coleslaw was homemade which is not the norm these days! The prices were also incredibly reasonable and the staff were so phenomenal and kind! Special shout out to Linda and Cass!! Seriously go here if you want a real Maine seafood experience that isn't gimmicky, won't break the and served with a smile!

Away from the maddening crowds of Bar Harbor, a fine little place to eat. Food is served at the Shore Thing which is a part of the wholesale seafood business. Lobster fresh off the boat.
John C — Google review
This place had great reviews so we decided to stop…. NOT WORTH IT. Food was OK at best. (Mozza sticks were actually amazing) Service was horrible. There was only 1 other table when we came in and we waited for someone to seat us, food took about 20 minutes, I had to ask for water twice.
