How It Works

The Chauncey Creek Way

No menus to study, no complicated orders. Walk up to the window, pick your lobster, and find a picnic table on the dock. The creek does the rest.

Pick Your Lobster

Order at the window and choose from the tank. Your lobster goes straight into the pot — you can't get closer to the source than this.

Claim a Dock Table

Find a picnic bench right over the water. Watch the tide move through Chauncey Creek while your order is being steamed to order.

Bring Your Own Drinks

BYO beer, wine, or whatever makes a summer evening. Coolers welcome on the pier — just pack it in, pack it out.

Eat on the Water

Crack, dip, and enjoy with the salt air on your face and boats drifting by. This is coastal Maine dining the way it was meant to be.

Bring Your Own

BYO at Chauncey Creek

One of the things people love most about Chauncey Creek: you supply the drinks, we supply the lobster and the scenery. Pack a cooler and make an evening of it.

  • Beer, wine, and spirits welcome — coolers and all
  • Bring cups, opener, napkins — we have the seafood
  • Pack out what you pack in — keep the pier clean
  • Tables are first-come — arrive early on busy summer weekends
  • Cash and cards accepted — check current policy at the window

Our Story

A Pier on the Creek, the Way It Should Be

Chauncey Creek Lobster Pier has been feeding Maine summers from this tidal cove in Kittery Point for generations. The formula hasn't changed because it doesn't need to.

You park, you walk out to the water, you pick a lobster, and you sit on a bench while boats pass and the creek moves in and out. No reservations. No dress code. No pretense — just exceptional lobster and one of the most beautiful spots on the southern Maine coast.

In a world full of imitation Maine-ness, this is the genuine article.
