Mcloons is the place that I look forward to going to most whenever I’m in Maine (at least food-wise). Its located in a beautiful spot on Spruce Head Harbor that is very picturesque spot for sunsets. Given their remote location, they are able to pull up the lobsters from the ocean before your eyes to prepare them, which means that they are extremely fresh and have incredible taste. The lobster is so tender it melts in your mouth (which is why I get a lobster roll 50% of the time). If you are planning to go this route with your meal, spring for the “rolls royce”…. you won’t regret the extra meat. As for the other 50% of the time, one of my other favorites there are their crab cakes. I don’t mind saying that I have never had a better tasting crab cake in any seafood restaurant, and they are the perfect size. If these examples don’t have your mouth watering, then you need to have their blueberry pie for an extra tasty dessert. They serve you the perfect sliver of warm blueberry pie with a scoop of french vanilla ice cream (one of the best combos ever). If you don’t think it’ll be as good as I am describing, notice below that I didn’t include a photo of it (I was so excited to eat it that I neglected to take a photo before wolfing it down. When I went home with my mom following vacation, we started to have separation anxiety so we discovered that you can order their food from anywhere and they will ship it to you! This is a perfect option for someone who is unable to get to Maine as much as they wish they could. Only downside: they close at 7pm, so make sure you remember you’re in Maine before you drive there hungry at 7:30pm.
