465 Seawall Rd., SW Harbor, ME<\/p><\/div>\n

Sawyer’s Lobster Pound is a little out of the way if you’re only staying on the Bar Harbor side of the island. \u00a0However, if you’re planning on visiting Bass Harbor Lighthouse or staying in Seawall Campground, this little place is worth a look-see. \u00a0This was the first time I was like, hey, maybe I shouldn’t just\u00a0eat a whole lobster roll and instead we’ll split that and\u00a0a lobster dinner. \u00a0Well, we ended up getting the foot-long lobster roll so it was still kind of like getting a whole lobster roll.<\/p>\n

I think the best thing about Sawyer’s is the ambience. \u00a0It’s nestled in a primarily residential area (that seems sparsely populated) and looks out over this idyllic\u00a0field. \u00a0Fifties music is piped to the outdoor patio and the shack itself has a pretty retro feel. \u00a0Visiting there felt like stepping back in time, which was pretty neat.<\/p>\n

Also, a. had the keen eye to spot a cat, which is +1000 for a place in my book.<\/p>\n

The lobster\u00a0itself\u00a0was certainly very delicious in both whole and roll form! \u00a0Bites of the lobster were fresh and tender\u00a0with great flavor and the portions were enormous. \u00a0I don’t know if this is because we were also splitting a lobster dinner, but that half of a lobster roll was filled<\/em>. \u00a0However (this is quite shocking for me to say), the bread was too buttered! \u00a0Yes. \u00a0TOO BUTTERED. \u00a0I’m a fan of the hot and buttered lobster roll (Neptune Oyster, drool…) which is, by definition, too buttered, but when you add that with a healthy dose of mayo, it loses some of the appeal. \u00a0Also, there was a lot of iceberg lettuce hanging around on the bottom of the roll. \u00a0No bueno. \u00a0This lobster roll had some pros and some cons, but in terms of lobster rolls, what’s most important? \u00a0For me: lobster quality is always first, then bread, then dressing. \u00a0So yes, I say, try this lobster roll because the meat is pretty damn good.<\/p>\n

On a non lobster roll-related note, their ugly blueberry pie and assorted ice creams are something else! \u00a0A must buy.<\/p>\n

Lobster: 9<\/p>\n

Size: 10<\/p>\n

Dressing: 7<\/p>\n

Bread: 7<\/p>\n

Mouth-feel: 8<\/p>\n

Greens:\u00a0Yes<\/p>\n

Pickle: Yes<\/p>\n

Overall: \u00a08 – Pretty good!<\/p>\n
