We recently told you about our favorite place to go for the best seafood in Maine. We also recently told you about a fun off-the-beaten-path BBQ joint. This got us thinking about the best food in the state, which led us down a rabbit hole of Maine food. Not a bad place to be! In our search for new food spots, we found this one. A totally new-to-us unique restaurant in Maine that combines both seafood and BBQ!

Lobster Pound & Real Pit BBQ is the kind of roadside food spot that you won't anywhere else in the world!

You stop for the food and at this place, you're in for a double whammy!

The owners this BBQ & Lobster spot spent 20 years cooking award-winning Texas BBQ before being smitten by Maine on a family vacation to Bar Harbor.
