Went for lunch. Your typical lobster shack. I don't mean to sound derogatory. There are great lobster shack's out there. Right on the water, easy parking right out front during off season. The chowder was delicious fair amount of clams and potatotes. The broth was creamy and had a very good flavor...hint of garlic possibly. The lobster roll was Maine style, grilled New England style hot dog roll and had a good amount of lobster. Wifey had tthe clam strip roll....wow, what a mountain of clam strips! Both the lobster and clam roll came with fries. Oh, they make their own delicious tarter sauce. Can't say I've ever had tarter sauce that tasted quite like this. Plenty of seating inside and out.

We arrived with the expectation of enjoying lobster rolls, but they were depleted by 1:30pm. Instead, we chose the crab roll and clam chowder, which were palatable. The restaurant exuded New England charm, and its waterfront location with a view of the bay was picturesque. While it did not exceed expectations, the establishment was endearing and served tasty food.

I love an old roadside restaurant. The Lobster Pool did not disappoint. Had the lobster roll and the lobster bisque, both very good. Great views dining outside. Scenic drive on the way there. Right next door to Halibut Point State Park which is also worth visiting.

This place was everything we expected. We decided to eat here to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. It was worth it. The food was amazing. The views of the ocean were great. All the food we got was great. The service was friendly. The wait for the food was very reasonable as they were super busy. We are planning on coming back next month.

Stayed at an airbnb nearby and had to check this out for its view and option to BYOB! The staff were friendly, food came out fast, and the outdoor seating was fantastic with amazing views. I got the clam plate, and it was decent but lacked seasoning. And the fries were cold. It was a bit disappointing for $40. But I'll definitely be back for the view, and I'll try something else.
