As summer approaches, bringing with it hordes of tourists and family members visiting their Maine relatives, inevitably the question will be asked: “Where can we get lobster around here?” The answers are too numerous to mention — this is Maine, after all — but in the Bangor area, we can safely narrow it down a few specific choices that offer a wide array of dishes featuring everybody’s favorite crustacean. While there are a lot of places that have one or two Maine lobster items on the menu, for this article, we’ve chosen to focus on places that either serve the full lobster experience — steamed whole lobster with sides — or that specialize in Maine seafood.
