This place was truly special. My wife and I stayed in bar harbor during the offseason to avoid tourists, but of course that comes with tons of restaurants not being open. We were thrilled to find this restaurant open and the food was exceptional. Great prices as well considering how high quality everything was. I can't recommend this place read more

Service was good, food was bad. My lobster roll was just all mush and super soggy (not good quality bread) for a lobster roll and everything came out super cold. Not sure how that's possible when we were just about the only ones there. The fried rice bowl was okay after we asked them to warm it up. Rice was very hard read more

I really wanted to give this more stars - but couldn't be honest and do that. First - the place is just as cute as could be. Right on Main St in Bar Harbor - it has potential for days! Then there was the service. We ordered 3 hot lobster rolls and a crabby patty. It took a little over an hour from ordering to getting our food. And they were not busy and had enough staff. Maybe our order failed to get turned in? It happens. But, we were enjoying the patio and the beautiful day. The food was delicious - but paid extra for the lobster rolls to be 'hot' - and they were warm at best. I would like to assume/hope it was just an off day for Peekytoe - we wanted to really love it. read more

Of all the restaurants we went to in Bar Harbor, this one was my favorite. The food was all really great, and so was the coffee. I would highly recommend getting the pistachio milk! The salmon was so good, and so were all the sides. The only nit-picky thing is the clam chowder didn't taste like clam chowder. It was delicious, but spiced more like a chicken noodle soup. It wasn't the creamy clam chowder I was expecting. They also don't have salt or pepper on the tables. The service was very nice! We were offered coffees for the road, and checked on the perfect amount. I also loved the atmosphere of the place, we sat on the patio and it was perfect! Overall rating: 4.8/5 stars read more

Husband didn't like the BLT. Sauce, bacon and tomatoes not the taste he wanted. Crab cake sandwich was good. However, it was not presented as ordered. Iced tea was very good. Haddock sandwich was tasty. Warm lobster roll was okay...bread was soggy and fell apart. One server was really good; other one was just okay. read more

I'm so glad that i made a stop here because everything that i tried was delicious. Our favorite dish had to be the blueberry pie for dessert but everything we had felt thoughtfully prepared. The signature salad has a big portion of toppings that I really enjoyed and the amount of dressing was perfect. We also tried the crab roll which was well complemented by the pickle on the side. The crab was cooked well and seasoned. The smoked fish chowder was nice to warm us up but I didn't like the flavors of this as much. The fish is salmon and haddock! The oysters were so good. I loved their balsamic mignotte and i felt that all the varieties they had were distinct from each other. Unicorns were my favorite that night then blondes. The ambiance is adorable- we got a nice table on the patio corner. It's kind of a weird spot because people are moving all around and tend to stare but once we started eating it was fine. The chairs were comfy and bouncy. The only place that this place was lacking was the service. The server was on her first week of the job and it definitely showed. A little bit forgetful and inattentive. Definitely waited a long time for some basic things like water and the check. There were some stretches we just didn't see her at all. The pineapple tea was a little bland- it needed sugar or more ginger. read more

Nice outside deck ambiance (but beware of bees), servers are very friendly and food comes out quickly. We got the mussels, salmon burger and halibut plate. Everything tasted nice and fresh but wish the portion sizes were a bit bigger. Overall decent meal! read more

For off season travelers wanting fresh seafood (without having to drive ~20 miles), Peekytoe Provisions is open year-round from Wednesday to Sunday, 12 - 8 pm. Those who want to prepare the seafood themselves should just head straight to the second door where they have a small market section carrying a strong selection of local and sustainably sourced fish, shellfish, and live lobsters. Those who rather have the professionals prepare it for you, the first door leads to you to various plates and brew. Then there are those...dine first, quench thy thirst, then grab more fresh seafood on the way out for later. Their story and the recently completed renovations make this place absolutely charming. Their philosophy and grit is what makes them such a success story in this area. Of course, none of this would mean anything if they didn't stick to their commitment to QUALITY every single time. Definitely recommend. Definitely will be back. read more

Cute spot to grab food in downtown Bar Harbor. The servers were kind and thoughtful and had a fan blowing to cool down my pup on a hot day. The oysters were delicious - loved the Bar Harbor Blondes. The halibut ceviche with tortilla chips was okay. The lobster rolls are good, but not as good as some other restaurants in the area. read more

Peekytoe Provisions was my favorite resturant when visiting, so much so I went twice on my trip. The first time I had the clam chowder and the lobster bisque. Both were good but I loved the lobster bisque for the curry flavoring. I also had the local seaweed salad both nights. If there was one thing to get that would be it. It is unique and local. Overall the atmosphere of the resturant is nice, with being to sit outside! read more

We absolutely loved Peekytoe! The atmosphere is so trendy and they have tons of outdoor seating. The menu is very large and there seems to be something for everything! We really enjoyed the crab roll and the crab cake. The crab cake was amazing! The fried rice was also very good, but definitely more baked than fried (tasted like very good risotto). The local seaweed salad was also very unique and good. The only miss was the homemade iced tea. We really really loved Peekytoe and you should definitely go here if you are in Bar Harbor! read more

Best oysters in town (this was the third place I tried). Highly recommend. Cute place and good service. read more

The inside is clearly new and looks lovely but the noise carries so it's a smidge difficult to have a normal conversation if it's at all occupied. Service was fine but the food less so. The oysters I would definitely not recommend at all. I was excited about their hot lobster roll but what I think they do is steam the lobster and then sautee it, which cooks it twice so it was very chewy. My husband had their crab roll and liked it, so go for that! read more

Peekytoe Provisions - Hot lobster roll - Seafood Near Me - Bar Harbor, Maine

What a great menu!! So many choices. I started with curry crab soup. It was ok-not my favorite. My husband's crab cake was the best ever!! We both had hot butter lobster rolls. Delish!! And polenta fries. Unique and really good!! They have great drinks too. read more

Didn't get a chance to try their "highly-rated" foods, but I'll give my two cents on our experience with the staff, two Caucasian ladies "working" at the reception area. We entered the restaurant (6 Asians) and waited to be seated, as per the sign. We've been standing in front of the reception booth for a good 5 minutes waiting to be seated, and aware that the two ladies saw us, but they or not one of them bothered to come talk to us. They just blatantly pretended we were not there. We turned around and went to the next restaurant across from them, and it was the best decision we made that day, so in a way, we owe them thanks! read more

After already having our requisite lobster roll, clam chowder and blueberry pie from another place ... we decided to walk a bit further up the road past the park to where it was less touristy. Decided on a bowl of clam chowder with extra clams ($11 + $5) ... which was more broth based than creamy and not sure it was worth extra for the kinda tough clams. Also got the Lazy Lobster ($30) with side of mustard seed cole slaw ... but lobster was a little less tender than expected. The best part was the Belleflower Brewing Antheia's Ascent DIPA ($10) ... so hazy and perfect. Although quite busy when we got there ... we asked (an older woman who was lukewarm to us) to wait for a larger outdoor table on the side. But another woman (owner) was quite friendly in joking with us and taking our order. Service was good with a rotation of staff helping to meet the needs of all the customers ... both in and out doors. Not sure if we just ordered the wrong things ... but if ever in BH again, we would go back to give it another try with possibly the oysters ($3). read more

We stopped by for an early dinner around 4pm on a Sunday afternoon and were able to get seated immediately. There are tables with umbrellas in the front and a row of bar seating and tables inside. We stared with the Halibut Ceviche and this was good but it was missing the onions and jalapeño that were listed in the description. Next up were the oysters! These were the freshest and best oysters we've had in Bar Harbor. We got the Blonde and Cranberry ones. The Blonde ones were very briny but very good. You do not need to add any of the accompaniments! These are also one the best priced oysters in BH. For main entrees, we got the Bluefish sandwich and the Salmon Rueben Panini. Both of the sandwiches had extremely fresh fish. I thought the salmon would be fully cooked but it's more of a "medium" lox type. They also have a great selection condiments and snacks in their marketplace and they also carry a wide selection of Momofuku items. I highly recommend this location! They are closed on Monday's or else we would have returned. read more

We bellied up to the bar after a wonderful foggy hike. The restaurant is bright and filled with colors and textures that make everything happy. Concrete floors and blue subway tile and dark wood accents. Very coastal very cute. Kellie our bartender was awesome. Very kind to chat with. We ate oysters, seaweed salad, hot lobster roll, and smoked fish soup. The soup is real because there's a bay leaf in it so I know it didn't come out of a box. Oysters were so sea salty and delicious and the lobster meat was 10/10. highly recommend. read more

Amazing lobster joint among other dishes they serve. Great views and atmosphere. We'll be back when in the area!

Amazing food at a more than reasonable price and in the cutest venue - hands down the best dinner we had in Bar Harbor. The smoked fish chowder and "Curry-ish bisque" were very unique in flavor and delicious! I've never had soup like either of them before - the chowder was very hearty and the bisque was very rich. The hot butter lobster roll was the best I'd had during my trip (and I had many)! We noticed they have lobster tanks in the back, which explains why it tasted so fresh. The crabby patty is a burger made with a large crab cake as the patty, it was so well spiced and the cook on it was perfection. The warm mulled apple cider was delicious, not too sweet and just a tad tart. We sat on the heated patio, and it was very pleasant even tho it was freezing out. The staff is warm and friendly. We loved it so much that I started writing this review during dinner and we are already planning on coming back tomorrow. TLDR: perfection. A must visit in Bar Harbor. read more

HIGHLY recommend! We are bummed this isn't in our city at home bc it's sooo good. The crab cakes were excellent, the halibut was outstanding, the black-eyed pea salad was unique & delicious! And, the blueberry pie was incredible. The food presentation was stellar, too. They made me a great mocktail, and my husband's wine was topnotch. The service was amazing & the atmosphere was great. Wish we could go again, but we're leaving tomorrow:( read more

Please stay away from this place. We'd like to keep it to ourselves. Our waitress was fabulous and guided us through the menu. She clearly was invested in the success of the restaurant. Delicious Bar Harbor, blondes, fabulous crab, and lobster salads, good drinks, excellent service. Would repeat. Oh my God, on the way out I picked up 3/4 of a pound of sushi quality tuna, which I will turn into sashimi tomorrow. The staff couldn't be better about prepping it, cutting out the bloodlines and making sure that we had quality seafood. read more

Great food, great service and a great spot with inside and outside dining. I had a sampler of local oysters that were all fresh and delicious. My wife had a salad and added a crab cake, which was fantastic. We normally don't eat at the same place twice while on vacation, but this one might be an exception. read more

After a long morning of hiking this was the perfect spot to hang out. We sat outside because we had our dog. It was really sunny & warm but the umbrella over the table kept us cool. We got a dozen oysters, 4 of each different type, they all were great & so fresh! We also got the clam chowder, monkfish nuggets, seaweed salad & tuna tartare. The chowder wasn't too thick & had dill in it which was good if you like dill. The monkfish nuggets were described to have a chip crust, ours had a lot of black crumbles that would make you think they were burnt but they didn't taste that way. I think they could've used a little salt & I thought the same about the tuna tartare. We were also surprised the tuna tartare didn't come with chips or crackers. The seaweed salad was surprisingly good, even my husband liked it! We ordered a couple local beers & could've stayed all day. I noticed they were short staffed but our food came out quick & our server was really pleasant even thought she was really busy she didn't act overwhelmed. Great service & great food! read more

So good we ate here twice. Great recommendation by Yelp Portland CM Steff. Thanks to Julianna and Drew for the great service. So many choices on the menu. For appetizers... The Crunchy Monkfish Nuggets with a potato chip crust were delicious. The Smoked Halibut Spring Rolls were a unique and tasty. Local oysters served shucked on the half shell are $3 each. We got the cranberry oysters. Ask for complimentary accoutrements like Fiore white balsamic mignonette, house spicy cocktail sauce, or a lemon wedge. For soups and salads... The House Smoked Fish Chowder was one of the best that we have ever tried. Huge pieces of smoked fish with lots of celery, potatoes, corn and onions in a light cream-based chowder with fresh herbs and paprika. This is why we came back a second time. The local Seaweed Salad, springtide seaweed sugar kelp and skinny kelp, served with pickled red onion, topped with white and black sesame seeds and tamari sesame ginger dressing was a nice, light starter. The Smoked Sablefish Salad on arugula with a local sheep cheese and Fuji apples was so unique and so good. Perfect for an early dinner. Entrees and sandwiches... The Local Lobster Roll was the best on this trip. Get it served hot sauteed in a lemon thyme butter. $30 for a 6" roll. The redfish tacos were a nice daily special. The Tuna Panini was good. Uncooked sushi grade tuna with pickled red onion and wasabi aioli on sourdough. The Fresh Haddock Sandwich was a bit too salty. Local wild haddock served with either a panko or cornmeal crust, blackened or not, with house tartar sauce, pickled red onion, fresh lettuce on a toasted challah bun. Served with a tangy mustard slaw and a pickle, it is a huge sandwich. It is a bargain at $10. Sick of seafood? The Avocado Havarti Panini with a roasted tomato on sourdough was a good option. They also have a small grocery area for local provisions like fresh fish, salmon spread, local cheeses and marinades. So nice to sit outside on the patio at a wooden picnic table enjoying dinner on a warm summer night in Bar Harbor. Thanks again to Yelp Portland CM Steff for this great recommendation and to Julianna and Drew for the great service. Check the hours, they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. They will be remodeling and expanding soon as this location was not originally intended to be a sit-down restaurant. What Is Peekytoe Crab? It is a Maine rock or sand crab. The nickname "peekytoe" comes from "picked toe" referring both to the handpicked leg or toe meat and the pointed shape of the crab leg. "Picked" means "pointed" in Maine. This small crab can reach up to five inches across and have a red or orange shell and white belly. Originally a nuisance to lobster fisherman who caught them in their traps, now they are prized by chefs. read more

The exterior of this place caught our eye while strolling along the streets of Downtown Harbor because it literally looked like a quaint private house with several patio tables out in the front. Because it was pretty crowded, we decided to get our food to go. We ordered the: 1. Crabby patty burger: such a huge patty stuffed with so much crab meat and charred just to the right amount! the pickled red onions also provided a really nice contrasting flavor 2. Cajun shrimp po' boy: definitely one of the spicier cajun blends I've had in a while! the sandwich doesn't come with too many shrimps but they're fairly large and also have lots of breading crust. the cocktail sauce that they add on top makes the shrimps even spicier, so it wouldn't hurt to keep a beverage close by just in case lol 3. Fresh haddock sandwich: one of the cheapest main dishes on the menu but still lots of food! we went with the panko crust and blackened preparation, but honestly the fish came too blackened and was overly salty for our taste. 4. Duck sausage "bomb": i've never had sausage made from duck meat before and this looked so interesting! the taste definitely didn't disappoint and this might have been tied with the crabcake burger as my favorites from this order. The sausage was juicy and super flavorful and I really enjoyed the sauteed peppers and onions that came with the roll. was super relieved that they added the spicy dijon mustard in a cup on the side since my spice tolerance is pretty low and i didn't end up using a single drop of the sauce on the roll haha. However, I wasn't a fan of the mustard slaw (at all :/, tasted simultaneously bitter but also really bland) and in hindsight, should've swapped out that side with something else when ordering. I wish they had just stuck to a regular slaw :( Finally, was a huge fan of their blueberry pie! The portion size was kind of smaller than we expected but it tasted so fresh and lovely. The crust was really flaky, the blueberries were super ripe and had a balance between sweetness and tartness, and I loved the extra sprinkling of sugar right on top of the pie! read more

We were greeted by a friendly staff member and sat outside on the upper deck. This place was recommended by the bartender at the Barnacle bar down the street as having the best lobster roll. This was our third attempt at a lobster roll while in Maine. It was the best by far. The lobster was fresh and served hat with butter (as it should be - not cold with mayo.) it's available in a 6" and 12" size. We started with the lobster bisque and opted for the extra lobster meat option. It seemed more buttery than creamy and was a bit unique compared to others I've had - all the same it was delicious and we enjoyed it. We ordered crab cakes with the lobster rolls. Plenty of crab in them. The only way I knew they contained bread crumbs was the menu stated they were not gluten-free. We also ordered the streamed quahog clams. The menu says quahog but in fact they are little necks. The waitress confirmed they always serve little necks, not quahogs (good thing as quahogs are too big and chewy.) As it was are last night in Maine, my wife also wanted to order oysters. They had 4 local varieties to choose from. We asked for a dozen and they were all delicious. They offered blueberry pie for dessert but we had no room left. Bottom line: friendly staff, fresh and delicious seafood. Highly recommended. read more

My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner here for our wedding in late October. Cyndi and Drew were so great at communicating with us in the months leading up to the event. When we arrived, they had a long table out on their heated patio and had decorated it with a beautiful blue tablecloth, twinkle lights, and a white table runner, and had apps on the table ready for us when we arrived. The food was delicious and the service was incredible. Everyone had such a great time. They were also able to accommodate for our gluten free and vegetarian guests. Thank you very much to the Peekytoe team for an unforgettable evening! read more

Went with a friend to Peekytoe on a cold winter night. It was casual, with high tables and twinkling lights. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. I am vegan, so I planned to cobble together some sides, but they had delicious kelp tacos topped with fresh mango! For a week night in February, the place was pretty busy, so you can tell they are a mainstay for locals. I would go again! read more

My first time in Bar Harbor and I stopped in for lunch on the recommendation of my hotel front desk. It was so yummy...indulged in clam chowder and then a lobster roll. Definitely hit the spot!!

The location is also a short walk away from all the hubbub, so I appreciated that as well. read more
