Trenton Lobster Pound & Real BBQ

Many of the diners at
Trenton Lobster Pound &
Real BBQ are locals.

Trenton Lobster Pound & Real BBQ, located on the Bar Harbor Road in Trenton, is the Gateway to the Downeast Area, Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island. We specialize in local Lobster and also, award-winning BBQ ribs.
Last year, we added an exciting and delicious new item to our menu which quickly became a favorite: Grilled lobster! We lightly boil the lobster first, then slice it down the middle, brush it with garlic and lemon butter, and throw it on our grills to simmer with a garlic saute. Homemade blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream is a favorite dessert. Our extensive collection of Local beers & wines is sure to hit the spot on warm summer days. We also have a collection of Maine-made handicrafts and nautical gifts for you to peruse.
And, of course, all this comes with a AAA rating. We strive to treat every customer to an authentic, and delicious dining experience!
We have built a solid reputation over the years and are proud that many of the diners at the Trenton Lobster Pound & Real BBQ are locals.
