Fantastic food,friendly knowledgeable staff, open year round now. You need to go here if you are anywhere else you are missing out. Burgers, dogs, seafood to die for, ice cream I have never had anything I didn't like from them. Over the past 50 years of my life whenever I'm here it is a must stop and over that time it has always been consistent and I have tried everything they serve so when I say you will like anything you choose you can bank on it! read more

the staff were great and the food was good, however after pucha $120 of food the confrontational manager was not something I was pleased to deal with. I will never be returning and will advise everyone I can against it. read more

The shrimp wrap was great and the girl that was helping me was very courteous! I will come back soon.

I love going to the Snack Bar for food and drinks and just for fun. Kids the park and the service is incredible. The food is just amazing. Overall, Jordan's Snack Bar Is Very Recommended By Me. read more

Jordan's Snack Bar is located very close to a major highway. The noise from the road makes it difficult to hold a conversation in their outdoor seating area or even place an order at the order window. They do offer indoor seating which I would recommend if you decide to dine in. The food is decent, but their prices are unreasonable (in my opinion) for the amount and quality of food they provide. Jordan's Snack Bar is more of a tourist trap than a restaurant. read more

The young gals behind were super friendly. The food was great and well priced. Outdoor seating was nice in a shaded area with a playground/jungle gym for the kids. If you get a chance GET THE ICE CREAM SANDWICH!! read more

This place has definitely changed since I was a child, with that said I still find my usual order to fulfill my craving. The hot dogs used to have a better snap and were longer and less thick, however a red dog is a red dog! The perfectly toasted griddled buttered bun with the perfect amount of condiments is something I can always rely on. The onion strings perfectly fried as well. Everyone is so nice and the place continues to be the staple Jordans has always carried. We chose to eat in the car as the weather was turning unsavory. We finished our meal off with a red raspberry soft serve and a strawberry fruited strawberry milkshake. The red raspberry soft serve wasn't very strong in flavor and next time I'd just get a strawberry milkshake, i believe making it fruited made it too strong and almost fake tasting. read more

Jordan's Snack Bar - 3 hot dogs with ketchup, mustard and relish Fried onion strings - Fast Food Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

Since the new owners took over this has become a some-timey place. Not to mention it is a TOURIST TRAP and the prices have skyrocketed and these folks are out of control. Hope something better opens here once they close down. read more

Have been coming to Ellsworth for 35 years and had never been to Jordan's Snack Bar. It was time! Family of four, we all got lobster rolls. Nice grilled hotdog roll, classic. Lobster was very fresh but was chopped up quite a bit. I like to see good size chunks of lobster in my lobster roll. Lettuce was useless, don't bother. Onion rings were delicious but very greasy. Crinkle fries were hot and good. Picnic area was well maintained and I could see a play area for young children. Service was from the counter window and was good. Classic snack bar atmosphere. Overall very good for families with little kids. I will likely try another spot before returning. read more

We were there at the close of the season. We ordered the fried haddock and it was very tasty but we will order it well done next time as we prefer it a bit crispy. We will definitely stop by again next season. read more

My family and I came back to this gem of a restaurant again this year and it was even better than we remembered. The crab rolls are fresh and overflowing with delicious crab meat. Everything we've had here has been amazing. The arcade and playground for the kids is a nice distraction and lets the kids run off their energy. Their staff are so friendly and the owner made the rounds and is also a super nice guy. We will definitely be back! read more

We love this place and have been coming for over 30 years. It's a required stop at least several times every summer, and have been there three times this week as the kids have visited. After many years of only ordering the scallop roll, I finally branched out and got the crab roll this year. All I can say is, I'm sorry I waited so long to try it-so good! The onion rings, crab rolls, scallop rolls, fish burgers, and the hamburgers are all delicious! And they serve beer and seltzers now, which is a nice addition. Love this place and will continue to visit as often as possible! read more

I've been eating here for many years and they have always been consistently good. I had the fried clam lunch today and was very pleased. The clams were good and not greasy. Fries were actually very good also, hot and crisp. No complaints at all. I also thought the price was in line for the quantity and quality. I'll be back! I didn't take a picture of my food but since I know people like that I'll describe it. The fried clams looked like fried clams and the fries looked like fries. The ketchup was in little packets. Have a sparkling day. read more

Visited here on a random day during the week and even though they had a pretty consistent line the service was quick, efficient and super friendly! As someone who grew up in Vacationland I can tell you this place is a good spot for visitors, locals, puppies and dogs! They have ample parking spaces all around, seating inside and outside and clean facilities! There was even a garage in the back with what appeared to be classic arcade games and a playground in the back to keep the kiddies entertain while waiting for their food! The food was fresh quality and served in abundance so bring your appetite or take home you're leftovers! And the ice cream got everyone's stamp of approval! Would certainly reccomend ! read more

Loved this place last year. This year it's been different so I had to update my review. Neither of my visits there this season were tremendous but the last one was especially disappointing. I ordered a chicken salad and it was not edible. read more

Wonderful fast service. Food was hot and delish! They have building inside to sit but it was very hot and a little stuffy. But it was a clean spot to have a seat and enjoy our meal on our way back from Acadia. read more

Jordan's Snack Bar - Chicken fingers and fries - Fast Food Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

I love, love Jordan's Snack Bar. Let me tell you why. The food is so good, which is hard to do when you're cooking up orders for people on-demand. The young woman by the counter positively fussed over my dog and ensured that my dog got three (!!) cookies with her doggie ice cream. Our crew of friends had such a relaxing time hanging out at the picnic tables, and then the owner/manager came by to see how we were doing and have a chat about New England sports teams. Confession: We came back the next night for dinner; we had our ice cream *before* our dinner the second night! I intend to return to Jordan's Snack Bar next time I'm in the area. Check it out! :) read more

What a fun place. It reminds me of the local Dairy Queen when I was a kid. Burgers and ice cream. But then add seafood since its Maine. We stopped on a really hot day to get ice cream... Soft serve and scooped are available. We had blueberry (since its Maine). Excellent. Hey if you are hungry.... read more

Jordan's Snack Bar - The place. - Fast Food Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

This place has a HUGE menu, with not only food options (seafood, burgers), but dessert as well (hard ice-cream, soft serve and milkshakes). I ordered the Haddock burger meal and chocolate milkshake. I should have opted to pay an extra $.35 for lettuce because it was good, but pretty plain. It comes on a bun with tartar sauce. The fries were crinkle cut and cooked crispy, but not overdone. My husband ordered the fried clams (based on other reviews) and he liked them. He opted for the potato salad, but only had a bite. It wasn't anything special...kinda dry. They have plenty of picnic tables for eating outside, and a dining room to eat inside with access to a game room for kids, which adds a thoughtful touch. Overall, we wouldn't come back here considering all the other fresh seafood options in this area. The 3 stars is for the friendly service and the kitchen (from what I could see) looked clean. There was also an older gentleman walking around the property making sure all garbage was picked up. It may be a better option for families :-) read more

Our first food stop in Maine. Great fried shrimp, French fries, lobster rolls, and onion rings. Would highly suggest.

This was the driest Lobster Roll I have ever had. They asked if Mayo and Lettuce were okay. I said of course All four baskets had no mayo or lettuce. 130 bucks plus for eating sandpaper. Nasty. Avoid the lines. Find a place that is more "local". Just nasty read more

My husband and I had dinner at Jordan's Snack Bar. I had the fried clams which were really good. The clams were small and tender, and the coating was excellent. The French fries were good, but not great. My husband had the fried haddock and raved about how good it was. I'd recommend this place if you're looking for good fried seafood without fancy atmosphere. read more

Don't let the old reputation from when it was "Jimmy Jordan's" fool you....seafood platter was $40, if you want onion rings instead of fries, they just dont give you the fries and charge you full price for an onion ring side....the haddock was dry, I got 4 scallops 1 was good the other 3 tasted old, previously frozen & strange all at the same time....I tried 1 clam and couldn't swallow it! But you do get 2 tablespoons of coleslaw so that's nice.....don't waste your money here, go anywhere else! The worst part is how long you have to wait to order while the girl taking the orders talks to people about what a terrible time she had in the airport and every detail of why ‍ GO ANYWHERE ELSE IN ELLSWORTH! read more

My friends and I stopped by Jordan's by way of a recommendation from a side-road fish shop that we randomly found driving around Bangor. We were visiting Maine for the 4th of July long weekend and wanted to try a super local lobster place. This was probably our 2nd favorite lobster spot during our 4-day lobster binge (lobster for breakfast, lunch, and dinner). Our favorite lobster spot in/near Bangor was Eagle's Nest, but this was definitely a close second. We arrived a little before the lunchtime rush and our cashier Renee was extremely friendly and pleasant. She figured we were from out of town and gave us the rundown of their menu. It seemed like their fried dinners (e.g. fried shrimp, fried oysters, fried scallops) were all quite popular. I wasn't particularly a fan of the fried dinners, but the lobster roll, clam chowder, and milkshake was delicious. The fried scallop dinner was a bit too greasy for me (I know I know, it's fried...what should I have expected?), but the meal was tasty and filling. They also have some great seating options. You can either sit in their dining room or sit out on one of the picnic benches. It was a nice sunny day so we chose to sit down at one of the wooden picnic benches. I really enjoyed the whole vibe of this spot. I would highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking to eat at a no-frills local seafood joint. Thanks for being awesome Renee! read more

Jordan's Snack Bar is my favorite place to get something to eat when I am on the run and don't want to get chain fast food. They do a great job with their fried seafood, grilled burgers, and the onion rings are thin and stringy, so delicious. Of course, the main reason I go there is for their crab roll. In my opinion it is the best around. One of the main reasons why is they only use FRESH crabmeat to make the crab roll. NEVER frozen. It makes a world of difference! When you walk up to the counter window to order, you pray to see that sign posted. "Fresh Crabmeat Today". The sign means you are gonna get a toasted bun loaded with perfect crabmeat. You don't see the sign, you arent going to be able to get a crab roll. Simple enough, right? So, my meal of choice there is always a crab roll, with a small side portion of fried scallops. Kind of pricey, but worth every penny! read more

Jordan's Snack Bar - That's a good sign... that you are about to get a great crab roll! - Fast Food Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

Known for so many things .. We enjoy the onion rings with haddock sandwiches, scallop rolls, lobster rolls or chowda! It's a great local place where dinner can be finished off with ice cream. Both inside and outside seating, kid and pet friendly and senior like it too. We stop here many times each summer for lunch and at least once for dinner. read more

Fried clams were great, just how they should be at a reasonable price. Clam chowder was okay but would not order again. Most likely the best fried seafood in the area. read more

Have been here in the past and was very good, this time was certainly different. Got the Seafood platter and some fried mushrooms. Everything was tasteless! The friend mushrooms had no flavor except when dipped in ranch. The seafood platter had no taste, the coating on fried food was not even seasoned, we had to add salt to have any taste at all. For 40$ I expect way better. Will not be going back here. read more

What a fun little place! If you are traveling north or south and need a place to stop, Jordan's is the place! They actually have an indoor dining area, bathrooms ( proper ones, not port-potties), a playground, ample parking, and delicious ice cream. I can't speak of the cooked food, but quite a lot of folks were ordering it and they had fresh crab and lobster rolls that night! We ordered two sundaes and a cone and it was under ten bucks! In NJ, two cones runs me almost 8! Definitely stop in if you are heading Downeast! Also a great place to watch the super moon rise! read more

My family and I have been coming here for over 20 years now, and every time still tastes as great as the first. This is an excellent snack bar where you can get burgers, fries, fish baskets, and soft-serve ice cream that never disappoints. There's also indoor and outdoor seating, plus an arcade. My personal favorites are the cheeseburger basket, with onion rings instead of french fries (the onion rings are to die for, thin and crispy with just the right amount of breading) and the peanut butter sundae. They offer dip cones, which is a soft-serve cone dipped in either cherry, hot fudge, caramel, or butterscotch sauce. The peanut butter dip used to be my favorite and I was so disappointed when they stopped offering it! However, the peanut butter sundae serves as an equally delicious substitute. read more

I really enjoyed my burger once it was dressed correctly, but they originally gave it to me sans all of the toppings I paid for! They fixed it quickly though, and it was delicious. The onion rings were great to me, but I like very thin and stringy onion rings. They were very stingy with the condiments! My group (of 6!) was told we couldn't have more than 3 mayo packets or we would have to pay. We just sent different people up to the window to get around that though. And the ketchup was in individual containers as well, though we either didn't hit our cap or they didn't limit it. Overall, pretty good! read more

Had the halibut dinner. Loved the fish. Not a fan of crinkle French fries. The fish was perfectly cooked!

Iconic place to stop for ice cream when heading home from a trip to "the city". Sorry to say the service has declined. We ordered two ice creams and paid with a ten. The young kid forgot to give us our change, when we pointed this out she had to get a manager. At first the manager doubted us and then was unable to figure out how to open the register. We ended up saying never mind -turned out to be expensive ice cream. read more

Recommended by a local shop owner ..it's very good place and you can sit outdoors and enjoy the yummy food. I love the crab meat roll and fired scallops. The extra thick milk shake was amazing too read more

This place is the ultimate place to stop and grab a bite to eat. They have pretty much anything you could think of. The service is friendly, and they also are fairly fast when it comes to getting the food out. Overall I think this is a great place to stop and grab some food or a treat! read more

We stopped by Jordan's on a chance, and I'm sure glad we did. It's a very classic diner but with excellent service, staff and food. It has a air conditioned dining hall, play ground with picnic tables and fun game room! I would definitely recommend this establishment to the passer by or weary traveler. read more

Jordan's Snack Bar - lobster roll - Fast Food Near Me - Ellsworth, Maine

Food was good and hot. Service was fast. The fries and the batter on the fish lacked salt.

The prices weren't bad at all, I ordered chicken tenders and my husband got fish n chips, both were very good! The portions were good but the fries could have been seasoned a little more. We also got ice cream, the only thing that sucks is they don't have any dairy free options! Blueberry hill dairy bar up the road has dairy free if anyone's wondering. Overall not bad! read more
