The Bait Shed

I was hesitant because of only a 4.4 rating and last night we had rubbery lobster. But we were determined to try again for proper Maine lobster and tonight was AMAZING! The place was packed and there was a 45 min wait so we went into Bayley’s Lobster Pound and got the freshest, biggest shrimp cocktail we’ve ever had. It was the perfect appetizer to tide us over while we waited. Once seated, we split the lazy man’s lobster and a bowl of clam chowder. The lobster was the meat of two lobsters PERFECTLY baked in breadcrumbs. It was HEAVENLY! The chowder was also fantastic and despite them being ridiculously busy, our service was excellent. It’s right on the water so we enjoyed GORGEOUS views of the sunset. If we have time on our short trip we’d love to come back. Thank you!

Located walking distance to Pine Point Beach, the bait shed is the perfect place to grab a bite. There’s a small parking lot located parallel to it. There is also scattered street parking. Typically on a busy day, a reservation is highly recommended. However, on a sunny Tuesday afternoon my party of 1 happily sat at the bar area. They have a dock that’s stretched out into the water with many picnic tables and umbrellas. For my meal I opted for the slider sampler and a house margarita. Prices are competitive with seafood in Maine, but well worth it. The sampler I ordered included a lobster roll, clam roll, and shrimp roll. All had Mayo, all were delicious, and all have me wanting more. This place is great! Cool spot to grab a bite, hang with friends, and enjoy the view!

Gorgeous views even when the tide is low. For the sandwiches, the only real deal is double shrimp roll. Btw sandwich meat is served cold 😳. They have a full bar and the lobster deal is in buying the lobster dinner not the lobster roll. In the roll comes 3 1/2 oz but in the main entree 1.25 lb lobster. Go big or go home. Don't forget to ask for your parking angel 😇 before head over there, parking is at the maximin there; otherwise, you'll be walking. Picnic tables are everywhere. Great if you're not disabled and have kiddos. Hard to get into and out of with aging parents. Also, make a reservation or be prepared to wait a long time.

Everything we got was incredible. The lobster bisque stole the show though. By far the best I've ever had and it's not even close. Beautiful sunset view over the estuary, awesome staff, good drinks. Exactly what summer in Maine should feel like.
