Wondering about the food at Cook’s Lobster House?
Since 1955, we have been serving Maine lobsters fresh from the waters surrounding Bailey Island. All of our seafood and meats are of the highest quality and our lobster, shrimp, scallops, and shellfish are purchased right at our wharf to ensure supreme freshness!
For old fashioned fun, book a lobster bake on Cook’s Point for your next function. Don’t forget to view our menu. We welcome groups as well and offer special group menus.

After re-visiting Bailey Island several weeks ago to do more research for my website I am reminded of how absolutely gorgeous the area is. And what an ideal location you are in with your restaurant – fantastic panoramic views from indoors and out! The food was great. We could tell by the number of locals that were visiting that afternoon that they must think so also!
Thanks Liz,
We love our location and we are glad you do to. You site is awesome. Keep up the great work.
Not only did we have a fabulous lobster dinner in a beautiful location, but were treated so well by the staff – even after we left. I had realized that I had left my very expensive prescription sunglasses at the table that night – but we were already over 100 miles away. I called the next morning and June assured me that she found them and would hold them for me when we came back through the area on our way home. Well, we couldn’t get back through Bailey’s Island on the way home, so I called June. She offered to mail them back to my home – and sure enough, when I arrived, they were in the mail. I want to thank everyone at Cook’s for a wonderful meal – and for helping me out!

Sandi,
Thanks for the kind words.
Glad we could help.
We wanted to go somewhere different for our anniversary dinner. I went on line at 8am and found Cook’s Lobster House. We took route 1 all they way down until route 24, what a beautiful day. The #1 Downeaster was absolutely superb! We are already making plans to visit next year! As much as we want to keep this restaurant a secret~we have told everyone to visit. They will not be disappointed. Our waiter Dakota was awesome!
Joni,
We are so glad you enjoyed your meal. Congratulations on you anniversary, thank you for choosing Cook’s. We have let Dakota know of your kind words.
Why are there no pictures of the employees? It would make it so nice to see the hostess, wait staff, chef and managers photos.
