Charlotte’s Legendary Lobster Pound

• 5/27/2025 - Where to Find the Absolute Best Lobster Rolls in Maine @TastingTable

"After hitting midcoast Maine, it can feel like you've already seen it all, but that's just the beginning. Downeast Maine is the northernmost corner, including Mount Desert Island which is home to the beautiful Acadia National Park. Bar Harbor is the area's most vibrant summer town, attracting hundreds of thousands of tourists every season, and while it's packed with dozens of delicious seafood options, Southwest Harbor on the other side of the island has one of the state's best lobster rolls."

"Charlotte's Legendary Lobster Pound puts legendary right in their name, and appropriately so. The location is incredibly unique, and not just for its quirky New England decor. They have an iconic ½ pound foot long lobster roll, which isn't cheap at $60, but when in Maine, right? It's served on a buttery, toasted brioche bun that will change your life. The meal isn't complete without a big slice of Charlotte's blueberry pie."
