We made it up to our destination which was Ogunquit Maine and it was just about dinner time. We heard good things about this place called the Lobster Pound, so we decided to eat there. Plus it was down the road from all the commotion. When we first arrived we put our names in and waited about 20 mins and then got a table. It was crowded but huge inside so wasn’t too bad. There menu was pretty simple. And if you didn’t want lobster there were plenty of options. But of course I got the lobster and two sides. What’s cool about this place was once you ordered your food you got a ticket to go pick out your lobster from a big tank. There they would weigh your lobster and determine the price based on the lobsters size. You’d get another ticket to hand to the waitress so your food can come. We also got some steamed clams for anappetizer which were amazing. Dipped in salt water and butter made it ten times better too. The lobsters came and didn’t disappoint. My first experience with main lobster and it was awesome. They crack and prepare the lobster for you so it’s easy eating. Giant claws and a great tasting tail. Usually the tails are too chewy for my liking but this was perfect. Unfortanely we are staying near a more touristy area then some places in Maine so the prices are a little much. So for 4 lobsters totaling 7.4 pounds it was 144.49! Not including drinks, sides, and the clams!! But it was a good experience picking your lobster and the atmosphere was alright. Judging only for the lobster I’d give it 8/10 grub points but overall experience 6.5/10.
