26 Best American Restaurants in Bar Harbor

“Good coffee, good food. Order at the counter, then take a seat if you want and they'll bring over your food. Pretty standard breakfast items, nothing fancy, but it's good. When we were there, I saw just three small tables, didn't notice if there is any counter space or other seating. Coffee is self-serve.“

“Amazing dog friendly Ask for mallory she is amazing so are bloody marrys“

“Planning a wedding in Maine all the way from West Virginia was overwhelming, and I knew I was going to need help. Tabitha from Luxury Picnics of Acadia was absolutely amazing! She has an incredible vision and the skill to create stunning tablescapes. I had a general idea of what the table would look like, but she went above and beyond—it was even more beautiful than I imagined. She personalized the entire setup, from fresh flowers to custom name cards, and my guests were so impressed. I truly can't recommend her enough—she took so much stress off my shoulders and made everything feel effortless! Photos: MaKenzie Hill Photography LLC“

“Very nice casual atmosphere inside and outside dining. Consistent great food at reasonable price. Excellent service.“

“Nice place with very vibrant atmosphere. Very few vegetarian options , the quinoa burger was not available, but salads and hummus plate were good. Other members in our group had fish n chip and chicken salad , and they loved it. Would be good place for sea food lovers. They have some draft beers which are also nice. Overall a good experience in a prime bar harbor downtown.“

“Wicked awesome to find a restaurant that has great food, is reasonably priced (for Bar Harbor) and also caters to food allergies! I’ve recently come up with some food sensitivities and can no longer have gluten or dairy, and these guys acted like it was no big deal at all. We will definitely be back next time we are in town!“

“Dog friendly even with their own menu…the entire staff here is amazing as are the oysters!! Awesome spot!!“

“This place is a MUST! Over the week we have been in Bar Harbor we have ate at A LOT of places, Tap & Barrel is hands the best meal I’ve had here by a long shot. Marina was super knowledgeable and gave 15/10 service! You will not regret stopping here and grabbing a bite to eat or even just some drinks!“

“It was our first day in Bar Harbor and we chose Galyn’s for dinner. It was delicious. We sat on their front porch overlooking the harbor. The food was great and our waitress was so nice; very pleasant. We had the stuffed crab mushrooms, haddock sandwiches and blueberry crisp-a la mode for dessert. Yummy.“

“The best pub food on the entire Eastern Seaboard! 💚“

“I'm a raving fan! Order on-line, pick up on Main St. - way too easy and worth every penny. Each sandwich is a meal. Still working thru the entire menu to determine my favorite. 😋“

“Amazing place. Kitchen is open until 11pm which is a blessing! The staff is super chill and the food is amazing! The pulled pork sandwich is fire and so is the burger. Definitely check it out when you’re in town!“

“Get your blueberry pie fix here. Came
In after dinner for a slice of pie. One of the few options of a place open post dinner time and it didn’t disappoint. Grab a post dinner cocktail while you’re at it that won’t break the bank.“

“Loved this place! The risotto is to die for! Waitress was very kind and the outdoor dining is super cute :)“

“This restaurant was a great find! We had the burger and the chicken masala burrito, both were excellent and came out super fast! The smash burger was one of the best I’ve ever had, served with waffle fries and the butter chicken was authentic British pub style and couldn’t have been better! They had a great selection of beer also!“

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a great place to start your day. It does get busy, so I’d recommend getting there early to secure a table. Overall, a must-visit for anyone looking for a hearty, satisfying breakfast in Bar Harbor!“

“love coming here. great staff. wonderfull food and drinks.“

“Great food great staff 🦞🦞🦞“

“Great location within the strip of shops. There is plenty of outdoor seating. We went around 3 pm, so after lunch rush. We waited for around 5 minutes (they had to clean a table). Our server was nice. He took our drink order, and it came out in just a few minutes. We ordered our food, and it came out within 10 minutes. The shrimp po'boy was good. The sauce had flavor but just a little much on the sandwich (it was hard to pick up and put down, got soggy). The chicken salad sandwich was pretty good and light. The lobster roll was a good portion size and didn't have too much mayo. The potato chips had light salt, which tasted good with the sandwiches. The lobster salad was basically a bunless lobster roll. The portion was large and came with a vinaigrette dressing. I ordered a blueberry frizz. It was very sour and didn't taste much like blueberry. Handicapped accessibility would be limited; no ramp (that I saw) to eat inside, you could eat outside 1st floor, which is under cover. The bathroom is tricky, getting in and out with 2 doors that open the same way.

Parking: Street parking that can be difficult to find a spot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Limited to outside, under cover.“
