Review of Beal's Lobster Pier

This place was a great experience… you choose your own lobster and can hold the lobsters in the tank by the ordering counter. The staff was super friendly and engaging. It’s a great location on a working lobster pier with a view, but they don’t get their lobsters from that pier. There are a lot of neat lobster facts on signs around the restaurant.

I took their advice to order a full lobster, which was probably a mistake, but I got the “full experience.” If you don’t know how to crack a lobster, it would probably be better to go with a lobster roll or another item on the menu. The lobster itself was cooked perfectly and very tasty.

They have a separate fryer for gluten free, and the French fries were good. They had a lot of fried seafood options available as well, though we didn’t try them.
