I have a friend that is flying into Bangor this coming weekend and he is going to hike the 100 mile wilderness on the Appalachian Trail here in Maine. He wants to have a good lobster dinner in Bangor before he heads to Baxter to start hiking southbound.

I am hoping that one of you Bangor cachers can recommend a place where he can get a good lobster dinner?

The Weathervane in Brewer has always served good food in my opinion. Another place I might suggest is McLauglin's Seafood in Bangor. More like a take out place, but they do have some picnic tables.

I was lucky enough not to get sick this year when ordering a seafood platter up that way. I Love anyplace that allows you to eat outdoors. Just make sure they don't put/leave their condiments on the tables. The ones that are best serve them in to go containers. It's also hard to predict when they last changed their fryer oil. So the baked/broiled option is a good one to have.

There is a nice family owned place on the Bradley Rd in Bradley - Claudias. Always fresh - nice little screened in Gazebo...........and a cache to boot! GC1X32X

McLaughlin's is good too! (Lower Main Street - Bangor) If they want something close to the Airport - Captain Nick's right on Union St. leaving the airport - 1165 Union Street.

The new Anglers over in Hampden is really good. Just as good as the one in Newport and Searsport. Good stuff. :D

I absolutely love Claudia's. Take it from a fat guy, they are great. Second I would suggest the Weathervane. Then probably Angler's.

I rate these in order of location, price, quality, service.

Weathervane is my go to place for seafood . . . although I do miss the old days when they served everything on paper plates.

As mentioned Anglers is pretty highly rated . . . Captain Nick's I hear is good . . . ditto on McLaughlins Seafood.

If you're looking for a lobster roll I hear the Friar's Bakehouse serves up a good lobster roll . . . it's hit or miss on when they serve it up for lunch though.

Oh and the Lobster Rolls at Eagle's Nest on North Main Street (Rt. 9) in Brewer are awesome!

I've got to second that, if it's a lobster roll you want that is the place to go!

How is it that I have lived in the area for 3 years and have not heard of most of these places?

Speaking of beer I heard on the radio this morning that there will be a Beer and Blues Festival in Bangor with several Maine microbrews for the tasting . . . not that I'm a beer drinker . . . but I do have at least one friend that may occasionally sample such things.

Sheesh! $!0 for 10 SAMPLES??? You should get at least a 6-pack for that - and then you can trade with your friends (and the many new acquaintances you'll make).
