Young's Lobster Pound is a bustling harborside building, open from one end straight through to the other. The first floor houses tanks with a capacity of 30,000 lobsters, a take-out counter and, most likely, folks lining up to get fresh lobsters, clams and more. Buy some live lobsters to go, or have them cook some up for you right on the spot; no extra charge.
Seating is available outdoors at dockside picnic tables, boasting a tranquil view of Penobscot Bay. If weather is poor, you can enjoy your meal on the second floor indoor dining area. Either way, it's the perfect spot to enjoy your shore dinner: 1 to 1 1/2 pound lobster, corn-on-the-cob or slaw, steamers, chowder or stew, and chips.
Young's can accommodate up to 500 people. You can even bring your boat up to their dock, head for dry land and enjoy fresh, sweet, tender, succulent... ahhhh... dreamy lobster! They also serve crab meat, mussels, king crab legs, haddock, halibut, sole, cod and scallops. Young's is a real slice of life in Maine; lobster, at its best. Not to be missed!

Shore Dinner
($29.00)
"This is the REAL DEAL. It doesn't get any fresher. Right off the boat, into the pot. 1 to 1 1/2 pound lobster, boiled in seawater, corn-on-the-cob or coleslaw, steamers and chowder or stew."
