Awesome place. Great service set up but you need to navigate the restaurant, multi levels, before you order. Downstairs dining is the hidden dream.

Lobster Melt is delicious, the beef chili is awesome, the potato salad was perfect yet a very small portion. Corn in Maine is too good!

Burger was good.

The views and happenings of the lobster boats coming in over the top!

The best lobster pound in the Southwest Harbor area! We were in the area for five days and Thurston’s was the best lobster pound we found. The line was long and we almost didn’t stay…SO glad we did. We had the lobster roll and the fresh local crab roll (special). Everything was so good and the service was great! You’re literally right on the water so the atmosphere is as rustic and authentic as it gets. We are at Beals our first night in the area and we felt like Thurstons was way better. Get the jumbo lobster roll and ask for butter on the side—trust me! Don’t miss this spot!

We were staying in Bar Harbor. Our friends told us we had to check out this place. I’m so glad we did. The food was excellent, the staff friendly, and the atmosphere exactly as you would expect. We travel to the East Coast every year. This is now a must stop on our trip. We sat outside and enjoyed a very leisurely early dinner.

We had a great time. We got there just before they opened at noon and waited in a small line until they let people in. We are glad we did because we were able to get a great spot on the deck overlooking the bay. Lobster was great, drinks were as well but were pretty pricey in my opinion.

Our favorite lobster rolls in Acadia (and we tried a LOT)! The short wait was totally worth it for the jumbo lobster roll — it was fresh, delicious, and the price was extremely reasonable compared to the other lobster rolls nearby. We weren’t the biggest fans of the steamers or mussels (they were a bit too salty for us), but the blueberry cobbler dessert was phenomenal and we were shocked with how big the portion was for just $6. Wish we lived closer so we could come here all the time!

Great place to enjoy the waterfront and fresh seafood. Wait service is only delivery and window order is a prerequisite to sitting. Prices are aligned with the demographics.
20% tip is, in my opinion, too much for service received. That said, the meal was good.

Great place to get fresh lobster with a great view and vibe. Plenty of outdoor seating to view the water and lobster boats. Rolls were pretty reasonably priced compared to others on MDI and tasted the most fresh. I will say the lobster roll did but use a lot of mayo or other seasoning to let the lobster shine through, I can see this being a good thing or a bad thing depending on preference. Overall a great experience and it was cool to see the fresh lobsters up close!

I think the food was a bit overpriced, but maybe the atmosphere of it all made up for some aspects of it. It was nice to be right by the waters, seeing the boats, and eating the fresh food. The service was also great, the girls that took our order were helpful and friendly. We got lobster rolls and the mussels. The lobster rolls itself were good, maybe a 7.5/10 and the mussels were subpar at a 6.5/10 as it was just cooked and came with a side of melted butter. Coming here was good for the experience, but the food could be a bit more flavorful.

This was my first visit to a lobster pound and it was great. Waited in a short line to select out lobsters, took a seat in the lower deck, and our food arrived shortly. Great meal and atmosphere. Our daughter and son in law walked out in the deck after we ate and ran into the owners who shared their story with them. Highly recommend.

I absolutely recommend Thurston’s if you want some good food with a great view.
The staff was super helpful with food allergy concerns, so I felt confident eating there. The total time between ordering and receiving our food was less than 10 minutes which is a plus.
We got the crab cake sandwhich and hamburger. Both were very good, but it was a bit on the pricey side. Overall we liked it and would visit agian.
