Chauncy Creek Lobster Pier
16 Chauncey Creek Road
Kittery Point, ME 03905
(207) 439-1030
I had really low expectations based on their website. It is a very cool little place and literally on the Maine border with New Hampshire. It is tucked in to a little inlet off of Chauncy Creek. The place is meticulously maintained with ample parking. You descend down toward a terraced pier with a gift shop, lobster pound and take-out window.
I ordered the clam chowder and a damn respectable lobster roll at a fair price. I don't remember the pricing, but it was more than reasonable.
The paint scheme had this Bahamian thing going on. There were multiple coats of perfectly applied gloss paint on the well maintained picnic tables. All were kept very clean. Tip: go lay claim to your table before you order and remember your table number. They will ask for your table number when you order and deliver your food to you.
What is exceptionally cool is not only do they allow you to bring in your own beverages and side, they essentially condone it- see sign photo.
Chauncy Creek is not too far off the beaten path and you will get to see the real Kittery, not the Kittery of conspicuous consumption. Kittery is a very nice place and Chauncy Creek represents it well.
I would put this on some sort of 3rd date list for an afternoon that kills a really cold bottle of Vernacchia over some lobster rolls.
