We decided on the lobster roll meal - chowder to start, a wonderful lobster roll full of meat, and end with Maine blueberry pie. Loved every bite! We both had lobster martinis with Maine blueberries at the bottom which were delicious. Highly recommend!

We had a terrific visit to this cafe. We were so pleasantly surprised by the friendly team, quick…read moreservice and food quality. This cafe sits farther down the street away from the Main Street area, so we didn't notice it at first. Convenient but quiet. However, this spot is definitely a hidden gem. We started with the stuffed mushroom caps, and the seafood stuffing is so good. The cheese sauce on top is so freaking delicious. The. My husband tried the haddock au gratin, which also has that same cheese sauce and absolutely loved it. I went ambitiously with the Seaside Special which has a cup of delicious clam chowder, a lobster roll which was super good (and came with fries and Cole slaw--all terrific). The whole thing ends with a slice of blueberry pie--and we added a scoop of vanilla ice cream. We left happily stuffed and talking about the cafe being a great, unexpected choice.

Great outdoor seating with views. Popovers and blueberry lemonade were great. Cheap kids meals…read more Nice service. Great spot to rest after hiking around the lake.

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.
