“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“

“We had an amazing experience at Everyday Joe’s in Bar Harbor, Maine! The food was very tasty— fresh, flavorful, and fast. Hidden Jem

What really made the experience stand out was the customer service. Our cashier, a wonderful Jamaican woman, was so warm, personable, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. She made us feel genuinely appreciated as customers and brought such positive energy to the restaurant.

The cook was also fantastic and took the time to give us recommendations, which ended up being spot on. You can tell the staff truly care about the customer experience and take pride in what they do.We’ll definitely be returning next time we’re in Bar Harbor!“

“Cute spot in town with very reasonable prices and portion sizes for the area. The blackened fried haddock sandwich was phenomenal and so filling! The side salad was quite overdressed, so I would ask for dressing on the side next time. We also had the fried pickles as an appetizer, which were ok, and my friend had the wings which were decent as well. The wings are fried and seasoned but not sauced. If you’re wanting saucy wings you can get Frank’s on the side. The server was so sweet and attentive and we really enjoyed the vibe of the place overall. I will be back if I’m in the area!“

“Stopped in for lunch after arriving to bar harbor. This place was great. Clean New England beach decor and vibe. Dishes came out quick and well plated. The fish and chips were good and the tartar sauce and slaw good as well. Adult Kids got the crab cakes they said were a bit bread-y but still delish. A great start to our bar harbor vacation.

Great place, good vibes, good food.“

Thursday Night was Karaoke Night!
They keep many good Craft Beer options on tap or offer cans for even more Craft options. Made some friends as we got the karaoke going strong. Both Locals and us tourist had a great time. We did not try any food as it was late, strictly there for Karaoke and Beers.

Good Times!🍻“

“Kinda pricey but nothing surprising for Bar Harbor. Service was unfortunately a bit mediocre. It was hard for me to get any server's attention. There was no one behind the bar when I went up to order, and it took me a while to find a server when I wanted to add something to my order. Still had a good time, but I certainly wasn't blown away.“
