Traveling up the southern coast of Maine. Ate seafood every meal in a variety of restaurants…read more Ordered a clam basket here and it was good. In fact it was good no matter where I ordered fried clams. The best thing about Governor's Restaurant is that it was open an hour later into the evenings than most of the other restaurants in town. So appreciated that! However, the service was kind of spotty. My table (of 4) was left waiting repeately - for the rest of dinner to arrive, for it to arrive with the correct items on the plates, for the drinks to be refilled, and for the bill to finally arrive. Admittedly it was the last hour they were open. But, they only had a few tables to cover. Assuming they might need a larger staff. I will say that the waitress was very friendly and tried to please - when you could find her.

All of the other food we had was delicious as well! Especially their mac n cheese. We were there for happy hour and decided to get the $5 mac n cheese and it was HUGE. Such a good portion for a fantastic price point. The sandwiches we got were also delicious, I recommend the steak and cheese. For drinks, I loved my blueberry shirley. My fiancé loved the mango margarita. You can tell they use fresh ingredients! Overall, the food and drinks here are delicious! My favorite place to eat while in Bar Harbor. Plus the service is sooo good. Our server was so sweet!

Ok. I'm not going to lie. When I first looked at the menu I actually headed next door to…read moreMargarita's to eat instead. Boy do I regret that decision! We came back the following night for a REAL treat... First of all, Tony was our server. What an absolute sweetheart!! He had nothing but fantastic recommendations for us. He was definitely not your standard "waiter". He spoke to us like we were regulars, which we appreciated, considering we were from Massachusetts. We ordered three of his suggestions: wings, fish and chips and the spicy margarita. Outside of what was recommended we also got the beer cheese and GIANT soft pretzel, bangers and mash and the creme brûlée. First off- this was my first time trying beer cheese, so I was beyond excited. I hate pretzels, however. Guess what?? They were BOTH SOOO GOOD!! The pretzel was the size of my giant head and was so soft & salty. It really paired well with the creamy beer cheese. I'd come back just for this appetizer every time. The wings too, actually! I was a little hesitant because I read the word "dill" on the menu but they really tasted more like Buffalo wings with a note of dill at the very end. I think I might be in love.... On to the main event! The Smithwick's beer battered fish and chips... WOW. It was a little different than I'm used to (which was a great thing in this case). The batter was thick and crispy (I'm used to thinner) and the haddock was super moist. Very fresh! I order this meal wherever I go and this is definitely in my top 3 (out of probably 50 others). I was hoping I could switch out the chips for fries because, well, I've never had traditional chips before! I must say I was pleasantly impressed though! They were the BEST and completed the dish perfectly. My fiancé had the bangers and mashed. He said it was good and very traditional. I did not indulge, so I can't relay that in my review. Last, we ended the meal with a MUST try....the creme brûlée. LEAVE ROOM FOR THIS DESSERT! The top was a hard sugar coating while the rest was truly a creamy dream. I might have to stop back in JUST for this before I head back home! 5 stars. Definitely. 6 stars for service!!

I had a couple issues with them as there were a couple wings that had something wrong with them that I don't think they may not necessarily seen in advance. For $13, the quality of the wings were subpar. The Fisherman's platter was a HUGE surprise. You pay extra if you want fries. We didn't want fries so we didn't have leftovers. The amount of fish, shrimp, whole belly clams and scallops was HUGE! The cole slaw is delicious. There was so much seafood that we still had to take some back with us. We live in Maine and have NEVER seen this much fried seafood without or without fries. Impressive and worth the money.

This restaraunt is located by the Jordan Pond trail and is a great spot to get lunch after the hike…read morearound the Jordan Pond, which takes a couple of hours. Since we came with our dog, we were seated outdoors. The outdoor seating is very vast and you are 8-9 feet from the next table. The views from the restaraunt to the Jordan Pond are excellent as well and make for a good dining experience. Service here is very good and prompt, which you will need after the hike. For food - we got the kale scenario and clam chowder. The clam chowder was excellent and the kale scenario salad was good as well but a little too salty. For the main courses, I got the lobster roll. It wasn't spicy or salty and was simply perfect. My son had the popover pie and he really liked the creamy taste of the chicken and vegetables. My wife and son had the local cider and they liked it. I had the blueberry lemonade and it was very sweet and they didn't have straws, which I didn't like. Overall, I recommend this restaraunt to anyone who is in the area.

I knew without a reservation we would likely have quite a wait time to get a table (which we did…read morehave to wait about 45 minutes or so), but we had just finished a long day of hiking the Bubbles then the Jond Pond loop so I figured we should try to get a table and at least try out the famous popovers. Plus it's a beautiful area, so why not sit down for a little bit and enjoy a meal? While we waited for our table, we explored the area a little bit and also explored their gift shop. There's plenty to buy, and they even sell their jam and popover mix which we bought both to take home for family to try. Once seated, we actually had quite a wait before someone came to take our order as well then there was a long wait for our food to come out also. After a long day of hiking with a toddler and a baby, I instantly regretted choosing to stop for food here. This is definitely not a place to go after being tired from a long day of hiking or when youre hungry or when your babies are ready to call it a day. If I'm being honest, the food wasn't impressive either. It was just okay. The popovers are nothing to brag about. I have never had or heard of popovers before so I didn't know what to expect but I felt they were a bit burned? I also felt they could've given a little more butter and jam with them as well. We also ordered pasta (so the kids could eat too). Nothing fancy there. But we ended with the blueberry ice cream for dessert and we were happy with that at least. Jordan Pond house is definitely a place you'd stop by for the views and to enjoy for historical purposes. 100% a place for tourists. It's a place I'd try once just to say I did it since I was in Acadia and likely won't get to come back, but I wouldn't necessarily come here for the food itself.
