Rose Eden Lobster

This is the best lobster I've had in a long time. This restaurant has limited hours, plan accordingly. They have both sofshell and hardshell lobsters. I had to ask what was the difference. He gave a detailed answer. The lobsters can be ordered by size. Muscles accompany the lobster. Corn on the cob was fresh. Everything was very good. They have local and domestic beers. There's limited seating, matched with limited parking. This place is popular, come early. There is an outside sink with hot/cold water to wash your hands. There's hand soap next to the sink.

Great seafood shack. Food was out of this world! I had lobster, corn and corn and crab chowder... Oh so good. And the lobster was sweet and delicious. My guy had steamed clams and muscles... Loved them both. No indoor seating, but that's party of the whole "lobster shack" experience. I definitely recommend this establishment.

Lobsters were cooked perfectly and very fresh. Clams looked questionable but tasted heavenly. Corns were divine, my mom's favorite! All outdoor dining and once you place the order, they start cooking. No pre-cooked food. It takes about 25 min. Atmosphere were ok, nothing fancy, the menus were all written by hands. Over all, it was very pleasant service, warm atmosphere, reasonable price and heavenly food. Definitely will come back and highly recommended.

Rose Eden is by far our favorite place to stop for a lobster dinner. They cook the lobsters in their own broth setting the flavor apart from so many others! Not only is their food delicious and their prices very fair, but they are so incredibly friendly. No frills, order at the window and feast at one of their picnic tables. They also offer local craft beer and wine. This is as pure of a local spot that you will find, away from the hustle and bustle. If you're looking for a more personal, quaint experience then look no further!

The lobster was so fresh that I watched him pull it out of the basket alive. Not too much mayo so the taste really shown through. Prices were comparable with close by places but with no line

Hands down the best lobster roll. We tried a bunch of other places during our time here and nothing else compares. We enjoyed both the regular and Cajun style rolls. Definitely worth the price! The corn is great and so is their lemonade!! Highly recommend!

The cutest family run lobster shack! It is a husband and wife small business where the husband is a lobster fisherman so you can bet that the lobster is fresh. We got a Lobster Meal for 2 where you get 2 lobsters, mussels (can upgrade to clams), and 2 ears of corn. They are also known for their blueberry pie - which you honestly cannot miss either. Everything was made fresh immediately for you and served piping hot! The lobster was super fresh and everything was just so nice. Their service was also of 5 star quality. It was such a welcoming experience just dining there. I cannot recommend this enough - a do not miss spot if you ever visit Bar Harbor/Acadia!

This isn't same place as last year as Rose and husband retired. This is a one man shop lobster place. Rolls are $38 and lobster $27 per pound. Not sure why all the high ratings as expensive. All lobsters and fish come from local fisherman (they don't do it themselves). Really shouldn't be rising on past reviews

Every trip has one of those special stand-out meals. This was one of them. The food was spectacular. Fresh caught lobster and mussels served simply (steamed with butter) stand out on their own without any assistance. The owner is friendly and helpful, and the ambiance (picnic tables in a yard), make for an enjoyable experience. Definitely stop by if you have the chance.

I saw a recent review that stated that a change in ownership had been for the worse. Not true. My wife and I've eaten at this lobster pound under both owners and it remains the best. We ate there a few nights ago. The lobster was outstanding, but I was equally impressed by the clam chowder and both of us raved about the corn. The young man who'd served us said that they'd just bought a batch of fresh corn from a local farmer, rather than sourcing it from a much cheaper source. We could taste the difference. I loved the lobster 3 yrs ago when a woman ran the pound, selling lobster supplied by her husband. I rated her operation with 5 stars too, but I don't recall that she offered clam chowder or Atlantic Brewing blueberry ale. So give this lobster pound a try. You won't be disappointed.
