    Lobster roll and chowder
    Caleigh B.

    We loved this place so much, we went twice on our trip! Great prices for lobster. We had lobster rolls and chowder. Also $5 draft beer and cheap mussels. Such a great place.

    Under new ownership and recently opened again! We were here last year for the other owners and loved it, so we came back. We ordered our lobsters and also indulged in a dozen mussels, Pinot Grigio and Downeast cider! Everything was delicious, staff was very friendly and even brought out a bowl of water for our dog. Dogs are welcome which continues with the wonderful theme of the area of Bar Harbor. We spent one week in Maine this year and came to Acadia Lobster Co twice because the standards for great lobsters and seafood was upheld. Very personable staff from greeting walking to the register to order, to the cashier and the staff that brings the food out. Great addition of hand wash station for two people when your done cracking claws and shells! Very clean eating areas, hand wash station and bathrooms. We look forward to seeing yall next year! Good luck!

    Awesome people, great food!! What more could you ask? We got here shortly before closing and they were very accommodating.

    Crab roll

    We came back again. This time we had the New England Lobster Roll (hot with butter), a crab roll, corn on the cob, coleslaw, chips and a whoopie pie.

    The floor here is so cool

    The lobster rolls were Super Fresh the Acadia burger was perfectly cooked and the brisket was very tender. Mikey was extra helpful with the questions we had about the Lobster. Jenny was super nice and told us about some great spots around town.

    We really enjoyed our dinner at Acadia Lobster Company. My wife and I ordered the clam chowder, corn on the cob, steamed clams, and the brisket sandwich. All of the food was delicious, including the coleslaw, which in all honesty I do not like but always have to try. Pricing for our meal was completely fair, and the lobster costs (which we didn't get) were lower than what I would expect in the area. Some things that added to the experience, great staff. They all seemed happy to be there and were chipper chatting with us a little bit about the place and the cooking area. We chose to eat at the indoor picnic tables and they were clean, some places let their picnic tables get sticky, not so at ACL. Great spot indoor or outdoors. Finally, this made it a 5 star for me. THE BATHROOM WAS CLEAN!!! Seriously, so many places overlook the bathroom cleanliness. ACL bathroom was clean, smelled nice, well lit, and I really appreciated that. If you are in the area, get lunch or dinner at Acadia Lobster Company.

    We ordered a full Maine lobster dinner and crab rolls

    Wonderful simple lobster with excellent service and fair prices. The non lobster lover raved about the Alfredo flat bread.

    I asked whether it would be okay to substitute something vegetarian, like some onions and…read moremushrooms, for the bacon. No problem, she said. After I paid, I realized that they had not only charged me full price, they had tacked on not one, but two surcharges for the veggies. Nearly ten bucks for a grilled cheese with American cheese and a few veggies? Plus nearly 8 bucks for the onion rings. When I very politely said that I wasn't happy about the "misunderstanding" about the substitution, she said that it was OKAY to substitute the vegetables, she had never said that it would be the same PRICE. Seriously? They have the right to charge what they want, but the food was nowhere near good enough to pay that much. Not even close. Not going back.

The staff is quite friendly and customer focused and the menu is straightforward, but the real joy is in the cooking. It's REALLY good. If you read my other reviews you'll see that I'm not shy about highlighting poor food and bad service. This place was neither of those. It was a little surprised that a place with "roast beef" in its name would be out of roast beef on a Sunday afternoon until the explained that the are closed on Mondays and cook their own roasts (2 a day) and serve until sold out on Sundays so the sandwich meat is fresh when the reopen on Tuesday. Amazing. I had a Baja smash burger and my wife had an Olin smash burger both with caramelized onions. Both were excellent. Fresh - not frozen patties - and it showed. Fries were really good too. I'll be back later in the week to try their roast beef sandwich and see if it lives up to the "legend" name.

    I went to Flexit Cafe about three years ago and was pretty weirded out at how unfriendly the staff…read morewas. So much so that I didn't go back in until today. They're in a new location. It's been a while. I figured there would be new, and hopefully friendlier, staff. I was half right. There was new staff, but unfortunately, they were as unwelcoming as the last batch. This place has no prices on any of the premade sandwiches or pastries in their cases (why??), so we asked "Hey there, how much are your pies and cookies?". The employee was in the lobby sweeping and said "I'm not sure. Somewhere between $3- $5. Maybe more". She doesn't look up. Doesn't offer more clarity. She just shrugged this non-answer to us and carried on. It was awkward. So my husband, trying to make light of it, says "Sounds like it's up for debate so how about I give you $2.50" and this girl gives us a dour look and snaps "Well, I'm not behind the cash register so I can't look at the prices, can I?". So, we have now learned our lesson with this place twice. Not sure what it is about the culture there that results in such bad service years apart and by different people. We won't be returning.

    This is a wonderful option for breakfast - we loved that they opened early enough for us to stop in…read moreon the way to Acadia in the morning, they have a delicious veggie sunrise breakfast sandwich, and they make basic coffee offerings well (especially macchiatos and flat whites).
