I'm sure at times this place is extremely busy, but we lucked out visiting right after the parade finished up to enjoy a lunch without a crowd. Now if you are in search of seafood and/or lobster during a visit to Bar Harbor you could throw a stone in any direction and find numerous options. Some family recommended checking out this spot. Both my wife and I started out with a blueberry margarita that was fantastic. Then for food we both decided on the lobster tacos which comes with an order of two. They did not skimp on the lobster at all and this spot created such a tasty taco I would return for them. Granted the appetizer of a lobster poutine sounded delicious too! The ambiance and overall vibes is good, outside they have many picnic tables to enjoy the sights/sounds of Bar Harbor. Inside they have a couple different areas but a welcoming atmosphere overall. Despite the heat and the fact Bar Harbor is busy during the summer, service was quick as well as friendly. Had no complaints for our visit! Great first visit here! read more

I really really dislike leaving bad reviews. In fact, I typically only leave reviews if they're positive. However, this restaurant was so so disappointing for the price you pay. We did get food to go, but our hotel was just steps away. So not a long journey from the restaurant to our room. We ordered the lobster nachos. It was not edible and they were so expensive. I was looking forward to getting some lobster, but didn't want a lobster roll and thought this would do it. First of all-- everything was mush. Not even soggy, but like all mush and disintegrated. I can deal with soggy-- it's take out so I don't have high expectations for fresh food. But the chips literally dissolved. There was also no cheese? I don't understand how you can have nachos with no cheese. Also, was advertised with sour cream and there was no sour cream. Lastly, I had lobster earlier today at a different restaurant. It tasted so fresh. This lobster was different. Almost like it was bad or even like a little gamey. I didn't eat but that one piece because I'm afraid I might get food poisoning-- something was just off. I'm not very hard to please and will eat pretty much anything from anywhere. The fact that I wouldn't eat the food (especially after paying $32) says a lot. I literally told my husband I would've rather had McDonald's Giving 2 stars only bc the guy on the phone who took our order was super nice. read more

YUM! The food is so good here, I'm confused by the 3.5 stars! I think it deserves more. Their lobster roll was delicious, maybe the best we had in bar harbor, the fresh homemade chips were good too. Lazy lobster and halibut were also delicious! We got clam chowder to go and liked the crumbled bacon they put on top. read more

Enjoyable lobster shack with outside and inside seating just far enough away from touristville to make pricing less gouging! We had a bottle of maine blueberry soda (take that Coke!) and lobster nachos. Fabulous snack. read more

Initial impression of the hostess was not good...she looked like she had somewhere she'd rather be. However, once seated both of the wait staff who assisted us were great. Lobster poutine was ok...probably wouldn't order that again, but the sirloin with lobster was good, although tail was small. My husband really liked his steak...said one of the best flavored steaks he's had. The Harbor Mule was not great. Would try somewhere else next time. read more

So this great little find in the heart of Bar Harbor was welcomed. We got the recommendation from a waiter at another restaurant on the island. The place was clean, prices were fair and service was attentive. The ambiance was ok but the food made up for it. read more

We came in about two hours before close and were seated closest to the open front doors on a chilly rainy night. Other tables were available. I decided to try the lobster poutine since it said it had cheese curds. It came out with stadium nacho cheese. No curds at all. Flies were coming in the door and buzzing around us and landing on my food. Took a long time for any server to pick up our tickets with cards when we were ready to pay. read more

*It should be noted that this review was written in 2023 but I forgot to submit it until now, 2025. Please take into account that changes may have been made to the menu since then.* We stopped by on a rainy day. It looked like they have plenty of seating outside for nicer weather and I was surprised that they had a decent amount of seating inside. It would've been nice if they shut the doors leading outside as it got quite chilly inside as our rain soaked bodies started to cool down. What we got: Lobster roll with clam chowder - 4* the lobster roll was decent. I'm resigned to admit I'm not a lobster fan. The clam chowder was good and I wish I had a larger serving! Pork tacos - 3.5* my partner enjoyed them (not a fan of seafood) and happily devoured it all. read more

We came here. We had the lobster rolls. They were amazing. I read the reviews before leaving mine. The reviews seem to be either one or two stars or five stars. I think this is a seafood joint where they make amazing lobster rolls. And you can drink beer. They were fantastic for this. Based on the other reviews. If you're looking for something different. There are other choices. But my lobster rollwas amazing. The quality of the seafood was great. And that's kind of what counts. read more

We lucked out having this place right next door to our hotel. Portions were awesome. My daughter and I got a lobster roll, my son got an insane burger, and my husband got the seafood pasta. Everything was delicious and fresh, zero complaints about the food quality. Interior was cute. Service was great. Definitely recommend! read more

Sandy-gritty clams, obviously not prepared for steaming correctly, three out of five mussels not opened and served to us closed, burnt garlic bread, under fried calamari and scallops with soggy coating. We are from the Pacific Northwest and this is the worst prepared seafood we've ever had! Asked for picks to help us eat lobster from the shell --were never delivered. Very poor service. Skip this place-- there are so many better places to eat in this town. read more

Really great and fast service. Went for the lobster roll which was really good with tons of lobster. The lobster Mac and cheese was super heavy on the cheese if that's your jam. The clam chowder was a classic. Bar harbour isn't cheap so the prices are pretty on par for the area. Overall great place for your lobster fix. read more

I'm honestly surprised this place only has 3.6 stars--this was easily the best seafood and lobster rolls we had during our entire Portland trip! The staff was incredibly sweet and personable, which made the experience even better. The mussels were buttery and delicious, the lobster bisque was creamy perfection, and the lobster rolls? Warm, flavorful, and everything I hoped for. (Hot take: I prefer my lobster rolls warm--and they nailed it.) We wanted to sample a bit of everything, so we ordered an app, four beers, two lobster rolls with fries, and two lobster bisques. The total came to $150, which honestly felt fair for a full seafood spread with drinks. We knew what we were getting into, and it was so worth it. read more

Well if a picture is worth a 1000 words, here's 2000. Food was delicious and service was great. Kari (yes, I spelled it right) was efficient, friendly and humorous. Great experience. Give them a try. Just a couple of blocks off the village green. read more

I loved the outdoor seating! The server kept asking if we were ready to order. We told her we wanted to have some cocktails first, and then we would order. The rum punch, painkiller, and blueberry margarita were all great! The lobster bisque, however, was lacking. There was only one small piece of lobster in it, although the flavor was great. The fish and chips were pretty large and tasted great. Overall great place that we would visit again if in the area. read more

The clam chowder perfect not to thick and clam in every scoop. Fish n chip, was good but the tartar sauce is delicious. But the BLUEBERRY PIE WAS DELICIOUS, together with the blueberry ice cream. I might have to go back tomorrow. read more

I had a good time with my friends at this establishment. We did outside dining and the ambiance was a great vibe. Although the restaurant was busy, the servers were attentive and the wait time was not too long. I really expected more from the seafood boil regarding flavor but it was decent, I have definitely had better. The portion size was huge though and the half platter could still easily be shared for two people. You could also taste the freshness of the seafood which was a plus! read more

Seemed touristy but was pleasantly surprised by the lobster roll and chips. Lots of lobster on each roll! Definitely try it out for lobster rolls. Chips were very good too. read more

Oh man! This has been the best lobster roll of the trip!!!! Bartender Shaun was the BEST server and we also added lamb chowder and lobster Mac to the tasting! ALL. SO. DELICIOUS! Highly recommend stopping in! read more

Wonderful place! Our server was so personable and friendly. My boyfriend and I walked in & were immediately sat at 5 pm on a Friday! I got the black bean burger with fries (the fries are so crispy, yummmm) & my boyfriend got the steamer clams & the lobster roll. He loved both! He also got a blueberry sour beer from Blaze brewery down the street and it was so good. We were in and out in an hour! Very fast, good vibes, nice staff & great food :) read more

I was craving for a hot lobster roll as it started getting chilly in the evening. Luckily we saw this spot with perfect outdoor seating. The buttered bread with lobster pieces was all that I wanted!!! So good! Thank god we still chose this place despite mixed reviews on yelp. We had a great experience. P.s. the fries were cripy and spicy and had to stop myself from eating them all!! read more

Very Accommodating in seating us quickly for a last min walk in of 13 women. Suggestions and food variety were great. I got the 1/2 order Sea Food Boil, because... when in Rome (Maine)... it was still WAAAAY too much for me. But it was delish! Perfect level of spice and flavor. The only hiccup I would say is that, we asked prior to deciding to eat there is if they were okay with separate checks, if not could we split it in 3 or 4, they said it was no problem. But when we finished, they said that they were not able to do it after all because the system didn't allow it. Okay, no biggie, we will have to transfer money to someone else to pay for it all. Easier said than done. It took a lot to figure out who's cost what, and how to figure out tip and tax as well. But we did it, while feeling rushed by 1 server (not our original server and some very hungry guests waiting to be seated. And that's what we were trying to prevent, as well as trying to prevent holding up the tables too long for turnover. But, I can say... they rocked it out given the circumstances. It was a little loud, but I think that was our group making all the noise... lmao! Thanks for dealing with us NorCalGal's! read more

Great spot for lobster rolls and other items. Friendly staff and efficient service. Nice spot to sit outside and enjoy your food.

Forks down, the best blueberry pie - complimented with blueberry ice cream. But first, the warm lobster rolls were excellent, fresh picked lobster meat, nicely toasted bun, and some excellent hand cut potato chips. Excellent choice of sodas too: we opted for the ABC root beer and blueberry sodas. Highly recommend. read more

I'm from #FL so take everything I'm about to say with a huge grain of SALT LIFE. I haven't had much lobstah in my life. Why? Most of the lobsters where I'm from are of the spiny variety. Also: as the kids say "It's expensive AF". I've always loved lobster but I rarely eat it. For my first trip to main I HAD to be a tourist and do the lobster thing though, right? Anyway, the lobster here was fantastic. Easily the best I've ever tasted but...my sample size is pitifully small. I was also surprised but the surprisingly above-average selection of localish beers on tap. Only reason it's not a 5-stars is the ambiance. It was a little sterile, and I wanted it to be a little more rowdy! read more

The best deal we feel in this area for 2 people at $92.... No other restaurant in this area can compare with their pricing for the food offer.. the food didn't taste very flavorful with the boil flavor but the seafood was fresh.. yes the clams had sand but how they gonna clean the sand outta the clams?? The food taste fresh and the shrimp seem fresh.. yes the lobster was cut up already..this might be sneaky but would it be better they severed the whole lobster.. read more

Very cute atmosphere, very nice waitress. The coconut shrimp appetizer was average. The clam chowder came with bacon crumbles, likely to disguise the lack of actual clams. The lobster roll had a tiny portion of meat for the price, especially compared to other rolls you can buy just down the street. Lobster was very tough. Seafood pasta came with 4 mussels and 4 clams, 2 of which were just empty shells. It was served to me without the advertised scallops, which I had to ask for. I then received a small bowl of 4 clearly microwaved scallops. Did not eat our entrees, left and went somewhere else for dinner. Not worth it. A shame, it's such a cute place! read more

The outdoor seating for this place is gorgeous!! Drinks were delicious, and the lobster was amazing. I had my first ever lobster roll here, and I fell in love. It is as appetizing as it looks in the photo! I wish there were more fries for $32, but hey. read more

We ordered the fisherman platter. Sadly there were 4 claims two looked as though they were run down by a car. Split open from the batter, tasted awful. The basket of shrimp, fish, claims and scallops tasted all the same. I do not recommend eating here extremely disappointed. 7/11 may have something better. read more

Came in on a rainy day and ordered the lobster roll with Mac and cheese for $30. The restaurant appears clean. The amount of lobster on the roll was pretty generous, the lobster was tender and delicious. There was a strange sweet taste of the lobster roll (like kind of mapley). I didn't get it in every bite so it wasn't the sweetness from the lobster. I wonder what this was but it was a bit unexpected. The brioche was a bit dry and I wish there was more of the creamy sauce on top. Mac and cheese was flavorful although a bit dry as well. The blueberry a la mode (although we removed the ice cream) was amazing. It was not sweet at all and the crust was flaky. One of the best pies I have ever had. read more

Great food! Lobster was perfectly cooked! I would come back again! Server was great! We had lobster bisque, steamed clams and lobster rolls!

We ate here today and it was not a good experience. Service was bad, no one ever came back & checked on us. I got the steamed clams and ended up getting sick. One clam had sand in it so I should have stopped. Do not recommend and now reading other reviews I wish I would have read first. read more

We came from Ca for the lobster. I had a lobster roll and husband had the lobster boil. Everything was so so good. Highly recommend

4.5/5 This was a great restaurant! The ratings don't seem to reflect the true quality of the food. The fish and chips, lobster roll, and fish tacos were all amazing. The clam chowder could've been a little warmer but it tasted good. The service was pretty good. The restaurant was very spacious and clean, although a little chilly. Good restaurant! read more
