The freshest lobster and the warmest hospitality on the coast of Maine!

If fresh lobster and seafood are what you crave, then you might already know the best place to get them is here in Maine. Biddeford Pool is an off-the-beaten-path gem and captures the essence of what the Maine coast is all about. To us, this whole area is a slice of Maine like it used to be. It's also where we've been serving up fresh seafood and made-from-scratch fare for nearly 20 years.
