We are in town visiting with a rather large group and the staff here were so accommodating! We did…read morecall ahead, but they are very busy, so it was really wonderful they were able to seat our whole group. The place is very nice inside, not too big, but not too small. We ordered the lobster pizza, crispy Brussels, a hamburger, cheese pizza, strawberry salad... everyone enjoyed what they ordered. My husband and I shared the lobster pizza and crispy Brussels and they were both so good!

Food is still a 4 or 5 stars. This time we had burgers, fries and beers and all three of us were…read moremore than pleased with our food. We arrived with a dog, and was told we would have to wait (which was fine). A picnic table opened up and a couple (with a dog) walked right to the table and sat down after talking to a different waitress. I told the customer that we were waiting for that table and she pretty much said, "oh well." When I brought it to the attention of the waitress who seated them she said, "what do you want me to do, ask them to get up?" That was exactly what I expected her to do, but instead she did nothing. Tons of signs around being short staffed, small kitchen and asking for patience. Clearly being polite and appropriate was not part of the staff training. Disappointed

This is a perfect spot. We had the Steamed Bun, Poutine, and Mac & Cheese; everything was…read moredelicious. I highly recommend the Steamed Bun. We had the Barrel of Souls (an aged stout) and a honey mead/beer mix (I can't remember the name). Both were delicious, but the mead/beer was our favorite, the two flavors complemented each other very well. The bartender was super nice and had some suggestions for local shops to check out. The atmosphere was perfect, just a small space with a lot of vibes. This is somewhere I will definitely visit again if I'm in the area.

I think if you're going for beers, this is a nice place to visit. The beer that made them famous…read morewas a hit at our table. We went for dinner because two people in our party were vegan and this menu had vegan options which we appreciate so much. I don't believe it's her fault as there is no kitchen in this establishment, but the food was bad. Some of it was not fit for consumption, and, to their credit, I was not charged for those items that were inedible. I suspect the food would be great if she had what she needed to do her job, because the menu was really interesting. It's a local place with nice local people and we always try to support those businesses when we visit a town. But you cannot cook meals using one hot plate and an air fryer, or store restaurant grade food in a college refrigerator for extended periods. Go for the beer, but don't eat the food until this team can upgrade to keep everyone safe.

It was so good that we ended visiting it twice during our stay. We tried Hunter pizza, Harvest pizza, asparagus and oysters.All of these were delicious. They have their own in house dip that comes with their pizzas which is amazing. The drinks were good too. It is a stunning location. Owners and staff are courteous and professional. It is a must-try if you are in Bar Harbor. Please note that they are only open between the hours of 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.

I had a lobster BLT with a helping of waffle fries while my husband had spicy cheese curds. Good food and nice portion sizes overall. Why just 4 stars not 5? The service was a bit stilted. Maybe it's the end of season, but we had long pauses between service which elongated the experience. We were at the bar, so it was a bit of an odd experience given that it wasn't super busy. Overall, not a bad option overall if you're downtown.

Wanted something a little different than spots that speacialize in lobster rolls, so we decided to…read morepop in here. There was a 30-45 min wait, which we were ok with. The service is very friendly. I wanted the Strawberry Fields cocktail, but they didn't have so I settled on The Fuzzy. It is very alcohol forward, which most people will enjoy. Not for me personally, as I would have liked more flavor from the infusions, but that's definitely a personal preference. The Blackened Fish Sandwich with a Small Caesar Salad had very flakey fish. I loved the meld of flavors, and ended up devouring my sandwich! The bun held together well. The caesar salad was a decent size and well dressed. Definitely a cool spot to hit for good food and a great pub vibe!

Little restaurant in a cellar…read more Lots of Irish decor, friendly service and decent burgers though they were limited in what they could offer from the bar aside the traditional Irish fare. I was also expecting more Irish plate options in the menu but anything that was not a burger was much pricier than usual and thus unappealing.

Tidbit! Sneak behind the fire department to find this side-street dive. It's the Bar Harbor that…read morethe tourists on Main Street aren't seeing. The menu comes on a blue card with specials posted outside, lobster roll price included, which is a small kindness when half the island hides behind "market rate." My partner and uncle went straight for the fried shrimp basket special: generous, delicious, and not a shrimp wasted. My fish and chips were more fish stick than dockside catch, but the chips were crunchy and delicious. My partner and I had no complaints on the salt front, but apparently my aunt had enough for all of us. We snuggled four into a booth, sticky tabletop and all. My aunt would call the sticky table a detractor; I'd call it the point. The staff was prompt and genuinely warm, not just to us but visibly to each other; someone had to step out mid-rush it was seamless enough you almost missed it. By the way, the Peak Organic blueberry beer sealed the deal for me. One of the most blueberry-forward cans of the whole trip. Find the side street. It's worth the turn.

She was respectfully attentive throughout our meal and was gracious with our requests. I ordered the Half pound Burger Royale with pepper jack cheese, prescribed toppings, cooked medium and Maine fried potato strips. The burger was very filling, though average as far as taste is concerned. The fries had phenomenal seasoning, which definitely made up for any flavor the burger lacked. Think slightly thinner steakhouse fries - I hadn't heard of Maine fried potato strips before coming here so I wasn't sure what to expect. Overall a good experience and I would be open to dining here again!
