Boothbay Harbor is known for its schooners, sunrises, and stunning waterfront views — but for many visitors, the star of the show is lobster. Maine lobster isn’t just a dish. It’s a tradition, a way of life, and a taste of the coast that lingers long after your last bite. And if you're searching for the best place to get lobster in Boothbay Harbor, your answer might just be a little closer than you think.
At Linekin Bay Resort, we’re proud to offer two unforgettable ways to enjoy this iconic crustacean: one at our laid-back waterfront restaurant, and another at a local working wharf that’s been part of Boothbay’s fishing culture for decades.
Nestled along the peaceful edge of Linekin Bay, The Deck Bar & Grill serves up lobster with a side of ocean breeze. It’s a true local’s secret — casual, scenic, and just far enough from downtown Boothbay to feel like a hidden gem.
Try a classic lobster roll, indulge in a lobster BLAT, or savor our signature Maine Lobster Risotto. Pair it with a local microbrew and watch the sailboats drift by.
Open May through October, the Deck Bar & Grill is open to the public — but feels like your own private dockside discovery.
A short drive from the resort, Robinson’s Wharf is part restaurant, part working waterfront, and 100% Maine. With a legacy of fresh-off-the-boat lobster and harbor views from every table, it’s long been a favorite of locals and visitors alike.
Dine on the deck, sample a lazy lobster, sip a cocktail from the full bar, or stop by the seafood market to grab some lobster to go. It’s Boothbay flavor, served with tradition.
That’s up to you. Whether you choose to dine with your feet up on the deck at Linekin Bay or watch the fishermen unload their catch at Robinson’s Wharf, we think you’ll agree: the best lobster in Boothbay is wherever you’re enjoying it.
Linekin Bay Resort offers cozy waterfront cabins, lodge-style accommodations, and plenty of space to unwind between meals. Whether you're sailing, kayaking, canoeing, or just relaxing with a lobster roll and a view, you’ll experience the best of Boothbay — one bite at a time.
