Went for lunch. Your typical lobster shack. I don’t mean to sound derogatory. There are great lobster shack’s out there.
Right on the water, easy parking right out front during off season.
The chowder was delicious fair amount of clams and potatotes. The broth was creamy and had a very good flavor…hint of garlic possibly. The lobster roll was Maine style, grilled New England style hot dog roll and had a good amount of lobster. Wifey had tthe clam strip roll….wow, what a mountain of clam strips!
Both the lobster and clam roll came with fries.
Oh, they make their own delicious tarter sauce. Can’t say I’ve ever had tarter sauce that tasted quite like this. Plenty of seating inside and out.

We arrived with the expectation of enjoying lobster rolls, but they were depleted by 1:30pm. Instead, we chose the crab roll and clam chowder, which were palatable. The restaurant exuded New England charm, and its waterfront location with a view of the bay was picturesque. While it did not exceed expectations, the establishment was endearing and served tasty food.

I love an old roadside restaurant. The Lobster Pool did not disappoint. Had the lobster roll and the lobster bisque, both very good. Great views dining outside. Scenic drive on the way there. Right next door to Halibut Point State Park which is also worth visiting.

This place was everything we expected. We decided to eat here to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. It was worth it. The food was amazing. The views of the ocean were great. All the food we got was great. The service was friendly. The wait for the food was very reasonable as they were super busy. We are planning on coming back next month.

Stayed at an airbnb nearby and had to check this out for its view and option to BYOB! The staff were friendly, food came out fast, and the outdoor seating was fantastic with amazing views. I got the clam plate, and it was decent but lacked seasoning. And the fries were cold. It was a bit disappointing for $40. But I’ll definitely be back for the view, and I’ll try something else.

The lobster roll was kind of small, specially for $30. Also lacking in flavor. I wish it wash richer. The view from the backyard tables is amazing.

We got the fried haddock and the baked halibut, both were great! Good portion sizes and the view was beautiful!

I came here one afternoon after visiting Rockport. I was looking for a lobster roll, and really enjoyed this one. It’s right on the water and is a cool little restaurant with an outdoor patio overlooking the rocks and water. You order inside, and they give you a buzzer, which vibrates when your food is ready for pick up. The lobster roll, which I have included a photo of below, was fantastic and definitely New England style with mayo mixed in. Good amount of fries as well. I got a side of coleslaw also, which was fantastic. Definitely one of my favourite lobster rolls in the New England area so far. The menu is extensive, the staff friendly and service prompt.
EDIT: I came back about a week later when my family came to town to visit and we found ourselves in the Rockport area with my dad looking for an authentic New England lobster roll. I only had one place in mind, the lobster pool! I took them all here and we had a blast. The food was again fantastic, really fast once you order and take the buzzer to your table. This time we got salads, which were massive, look at the photos below. All of the food was 10/10. Will definitely recommend this to others in the area looking for, New England seafood, and will be back myself!

Saw this place on Google Maps when we were heading up to Rockport to spend time at Halibut State Park. Service to get the food was very quick, and the value of the seafood was fantastic. The clam strip roll was good, but their cocktail sauce was out of this world! We also ordered the crab roll which I thought were delicious with the toasted buttered bun. Fries were great as well!

The lobster roll is pricey $30. Bad ice coffee, keep it in a pitcher in the fridge, bad flavor maybe old…don’t know. They service is not great. They even asked myself to hang them the sugar for my coffee to don’t walk out the counter. Place is really small, has a nice view though. They don’t sell alcohol, but allow you to bring your own alcoholic beverages which I found it cool. Went during the day, sunsets must be nicer…
