Bedrock Lobster Pound- It Only Took a Decade.

Bedrock Lobster Pound
510 Rt 1
Kittery, ME 03904
(207) 439-9423

2013 Update: No specific month, just one of the 15 visits this summer.  They use Miracle Whip! That's not a judgement, just an actual observation. I think the sweetness of the MW enhances the lobster meat's sweetness.  I don't want to make this a trend, but it works for Bedrock.

July 2012 Update:
 I was stuck in traffic returning from July 4th weekend, so I pulled off in York and they were open.  I had to get a roll! Still in hamburger buns and still awesome.  While waiting I decided to let no roll related things register in my brain.  They sell bugs (lobsters) for less than Day's and furthermore they'll sell you a little expanded polystyrene cooler and some ice for $4.50. I am not saying Day's is the cheapest, but they are a good benchmark since they have their chicken (1 pound lobsters) prices posted like unleaded at a gas station. During the summer Bedrock is open every day 'til 7 pm. They have clams and mussels too.  The price for chickens was $3.89 per pound and is tied for the lowest price I know at this little place in Phippsburg.


Original May, 2012 Review:

I could swear I wrote this review, but alas no.  I've been trying to get here for well over a decade. They are not open in the winter and they keep pretty limited retail hours.  I always thought that I would go in and find some crotchety old man whose uniform  style shirt and pants matched his cap. I was sure he would try to make me feel like I don't understand lobsters or anything for that matter. Maine has a lot of these types. This place just has that kind of vibe.  I was very wrong. Bedrock was staffed by a very nice young woman that can rock a roll.  She did rock it in a hamburger bun.  I thought that was a Thomaston thing?  The roll was not grilled, but the lobster salad made up for it.
 
This place is as pure as you get.  They have lobster and Pepsi products. The only other edible item in the place would be the mayonaise. The prices are great: 9 bucks for a roll and 75 cents for a soda.  How is it possible they still have soda for under a buck?
 
I love this place!
 
 
 
 
 



Note that they are out of lobster meat.
