First, lemme say I'm from Maine, so having lobster is more of a tradition than a treat when one comes back to the homeland. After doing a little shopping, decided to get some lunch and didn't really know what to expect from this pub. Ordered the 2 lobster dinner with fries, coleslaw, a cup of clam chowder, and a couple beers for my sister and me.
The lobsters were supremely fresh and meaty. In a word, they were "delicious." The clam chowder was full of clams and potatoes, and the base was fabulous. The fries were hot and good. The coleslaw seemed fresh and was good, but not great. If there was any complaint (such as the word is), it would be the drawn butter was not salty enough. The beer was cold and complimented the meal quite well. And the price? It's definitely worth the stop in to this pub.
So, the next time you're in Freeport and looking for good lobster in a simple (but dignified) place to eat, look no further than the 'Lobster...

We had to get our own silverware from the bar because the waitperson didn't bring any to our table. Not a big deal in and of itself, but it added to the other issues.

I admit most places I go make their own and mixes usually don't measure up. Also, my lobster roll was 90% claws with big rubbery tips. I've had lots of lobster rolls in my life (I'd say at least 100) and they usually have a couple of claws, but not this many with big rubbery tips. The cole slaw was ok. Nothing special. The fries were pretty good, though. I wouldn't go back or recommend. Maybe we hit it on an off day, but this wasn't very...
Read moreMy husband & I love the Lobster Cooker & Pub and frequently go there when in Freeport. Recently we brought out of town guests & they loved it too. We had a special of fried oysters, fries & drinks after indulging in the fresh shucked at the Oyster Festival. Fabulous!! Oysters were crunchy on the outside & creamy in the middle. Fries were also perfectly crunchy with a soft inside.
I love eating here because they offer gluten free fried clams! We have never had a meal dissapoint. I enjoy the atmosphere as downstairs has the charm & feel of a coastal lobster shack. Upstairs is decorated like a sports pub. All tastefully done & cozy. Staff has always been friendly & attentive. A fav...
