We traveled from west Texas to Maine a couple of years ago, then stumbled across this place on a…read moreside trip to Acadia. Naturally, had a huge chip on my shoulder about the quality of the food, but was tired of seafood deep fried or drowned in mayo. The place was a godsend. Place was busy, but the staff rolled with the punches and communicated well so we were never wondering or wanting. They had live music which appeared to be locals having a ball. Usually not a fan of beer joints trying to pass themselves off as gastro-destinations, but these guys nailed it on all cylinders. Jalapenos in the beans was a big surprise and a trick we're taking back home with us. Don't miss this place!

Thank GOD this place exists. It's near impossible to get anything other than lobster in Bar Harbor…read morewhich I understand but I also don't want to eat lobster for a week straight. When we walked in, the hostess let us know that they were short staffed but we could be seated. We were very understanding and could see that it was literally just her and one other person serving 3-4 different large seating areas. It was crazy for them but they made it work and got those tables flipped quickly without rushing anyone. We decided to sit inside the covered patio area because it was cold and it was so cute! The lighting and decor was a great vibe. It didn't take long for our server to come take our drink order. We ordered a blueberry soda (my very first Maine blueberry item!!!) and a beer. The blueberry soda was INCREDIBLE!!!!! I am so upset that we didn't order a 6 pack to take back to the AirBnb and I'm still kicking myself. The beer was also really good which I'm sure has to do with the fact that this Mainely Meat location is attached to Atlantic Brewing who also make my soda. It's a match made in heaven. For food, I ordered the sausage meal with coleslaw and baked beans and my wife ordered a bowl which usually comes with pulled pork, beans and coleslaw but she subbed the coleslaw for more cornbread. Both of them were reallyyyyyy good. We took home less than half of it just because we were stuffed. The coleslaw was amazingly balanced. It wasn't sweet and didn't go too hard on the mayo and the beans were equally incredible. They had chunks of meat in them, only adding to the smokiness. 10/10, we would absolutely be back!!

It's 2024 and I'm back at this local bbq joint.

They now have live music every Saturday so be sure to come Saturday evenings to get a side of local music with a cold beer and bbq that is lip smacking, saliva inducing, button popping, and downright illegally good. Insider tip: if their main lot is full, follow the road past the barn to an overflow parking lot. Do not be that Karen who blocks all the other cars.

It was moderately busy on this Wednesday evening and we were seated pretty quickly. We ate inside. The servers were all friendly and helpful. The parking outside looks like a lot, but it fills in quickly. We ordered the Max Plate for $75 and it more than fed four of us. It would probably feed 5-6 people amply. Great value and all of the food was top notch. Except the Mac-n-cheese. That needs some work. If you want a break for one meal from lobster, check this place out.

The jerk chicken sandwich was good - a touch of heat, saucy and messy. Surprisingly, the cheese burger was the favorite for our meal - juicy and sizzling fresh.
