Thurston's Lobster Pound

Thurston's is known as a must-visit destination for waterfront dining on the coast of Maine. This longtime family-run restaurant pairs fresh local lobster and other favorite menu items with the salty air and colorful views of the working harbor, capturing the unmistakable character of the Maine coast. Since 1946, local fishermen have delivered their daily catch to the wharves, providing a steady supply of fresh lobster and seafood.

• Added in 1993, the restaurant has welcomed generations of residents and visitors and is now poised for its next chapter. The seasonal restaurant seats 178 guests across several indoor and outdoor dining areas, including a newer, intimate post-and-beam constructed bar area accented by a large stone fireplace, each offering picturesque harbor views.
• Mariners, welcomed by the colorful yellow awning landmark, can take full advantage of the expansive dock space, making the journey a part of the experience.
• A warm, casual atmosphere combined with downhome, friendly local service makes guests feel at home while complementing this unparalleled, quintessential Downeast experience.
• This prime offering, sitting on over 600 feet of waterfront, includes the restaurant and commercial lobster pound business, commercial wharves, a fuel dock, 200-plus feet of deep-water float space, another 200-plus feet of dinghy/shallow-draft float space, parking, an office with a two-bedroom employee apartment above, and all of the furniture and equipment that pertain to the operation of the business.
