Restaurants in Bar Harbor

“🦞 The BEST Lobster I had while in Maine, The Travelin’ Lobster in Bar Harbor. All the locals were here, so I knew I wanted to eat here. It was melt in your mouth delicious!!”

“‼ Brasserie Le Brun was the highlight of the week for dining -- delectable sauces on perfectly cooked food with exquisite presentation!”

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

“Great bar. Outside with the pups and fire pit table!”

“First time here. FANTASTIC PLACE!!! The host was so friendly and welcoming, our server was courteous and efficient and the food was delectable!! I tried their daily special of shakshuka. SO GOOD!! My partner and I split an order of their peach pancakes for "dessert". Also very yum! We'll definitely be back!!”

“Excellent and authentic. We had an amazing lunch. The margarita and enchiladas perfection. Our server, amazing. You will do great in your new location.”

“Delicious, fun atmosphere, would eat here again.”

“perfect steamers today. will be back tomorrow for lobsters!”

“Highly recommended! This place is great!”

“Definitely friendly staff, my waiter was awsome with suggestions.”

“You must eat here! The atmosphere is lovely and laid back. The drinks (and mocktails) are wonderful. The food... the food is fantastic! You can't go wrong with the apps, but the Dilly Pickled Veg is the perfect little zippy snack while you wait for your dinner. The entire dinner menu is truly inspired. The bang bang fried chicken is always a personal go to... but I opted for the Crab BLT tonight and was blown away! My hubby had the Lamb Shwarma and practically licked his plate... the pita alone was a light, fluffy delight. If you order the fries, which you most certainly should, get the garlic aioli... you'll thank me later, it's also good with the lamb. ;)”

“It's not just a restaurant, it's a genuine Bar Harbor historical landmark.”

“A fantastic meal! The owner sat down with us to help us figure out how to best open the lobster because we hadn’t done it many times. He and the staff were extremely friendly. Very reasonably priced and the food was incredible! Highly recommended! Thank you!”

“This was a great place to find. By far one of the best blueberry muffins I ever had.”

“The “McGriddle” is just plain WOW!!”

“The strawberry Rhubarb pie was amazing! My fiancé and I stopped by on our way back home and we were amazed by the customer service and the pie. We wish we were closer so we could get pie more often. You must visit!”

“Chose Everyday Joe’s for breakfast because it’s a little off the strip and we could get in right away. The service and food is excellent! The atmosphere feels like a converted food market (which it is) and hence the name. But if you don’t care about ambiance you should try it. Our omelets were perfect and not too greasy which happens at a lot of breakfast places. The potatoes were amazing too. I recommend Everyday Joe’s for a great meal and a good value.”

“Best haddock sandwich in Bar Harbor! All the food is so fresh. Love the patio seating area. It’s been great having them open all year round. 10/10 recommend”

“Amazing food, superb service. An ocean view to die for. We will be back!”

“Phenomenal ambience, great service, and the blueberry barbecue chicken wings were off the chain!”

“This was our last day in Bar Harbor and we sure picked the right restaurant to end our trip. Justin was our server and he was very friendly, explained the menu, specials and prices for lobster. The oysters were so fresh, caught just 3 miles away. Everything we had was on point. Highly recommend and we will be back!”

“The environment and ambient was great

Vegetarian options: Vegetables grilled cheese Vegetables pasta

Kid-friendliness: Kide games and crayon

Wheelchair accessibility: Accesable by wheelchair”

“Great vibes all around. I had the chicken salad sandwich BLT recommended from our waitress and I’m still dreaming about it, so delicious! Food was great, but service was even better with the host and waitress checking in on us consistently. Can’t wait to go back!”

“Great pizza, movies and atmosphere … oh yeah and they serve beer both with and without alcohol”

“We had a mess up on the pizza yesterday but this place came good on it plus more!!! Also the pizza was absolutely delicious a family of five (out of two pizzas) only had two slices left. The owner who I spoke to was very kind and gracious. We will definitely be ordering from here on out next trip to bar harbor! Thanks Casey 😁”

“Great food with an attentive staff. Just enjoyed a wonderful meal with our out of town friends.”

“The “McGriddle” is just plain WOW!!”

“The only thing I can tell you is we smelled it walking by and it did not disappoint. We went back two days in a row and it might just be the best pizza we ever had… in a tourist area to boot!”

“I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. The atmosphere and essence are 10/10, as are the beverage selection and service. Zana was a stellar host/bartender/guide.”

“very nice wines, good price for the tasting and the bottles.”

“The absolute BEST experience! Tabby was incredibly easy going and the absolute sweetest person to work with! She answered all 700 questions I had in a timely manner & always had suggestions for anything I was looking for! We had the sweetest set up for our girls day & the most beautiful view - all of which were Tabby’s ideas & suggestions. We can’t wait to do this again, 110% recommend! 🤍”

“Janice was recommended to us by our wedding planner for our July 2021 wedding. Her list of flavors is long and believe me, you could spend all day trying various combinations. For our tasting, every single slice we tasted was moist and amazing. We ended up getting a chocolate and yellow cake with peanut butter mouse and chocolate ganache filling. Never have I ever had something so rich, moist, and somehow light at the same time. For our frosting, I strongly dislike any traditional frostings. Janice suggested a whipped cream frosting thankfully. She provided us with a traditional looking 4 tier wedding cake with flowers (made by her out of merengue) cascading down the side. It was gorgeous! My sister who is a chef was impressed with the presentation, knowing that it was a whipped cream frosting which can be harder to work with. And believe me, this was the best cake I have ever had. 6 days later and it has retained all its flavor and moisture. I don’t seen how we will be able to make it to our first wedding anniversary with that in the freezer. I can’t stop thinking about how good the cake is. You will not be disappointed if you get your cake here!”

“This place is awesome! Cold brew was delicious and so were the bagels! I love the heavy cream option! Go support this local business you won’t regret it.”

“Wonderful food, stunning views, and great service!”

“We had a great supper after and afternoon of walking around. The burgers were super good and hearty, the pork belly sliderswere tasty. As well as the blacken fish tacos. Fun beer selection. Our server was helpful and friendly. Highly recommend you to enjoy this place.”

“Very good food and beer. No wait to get in and food was served quickly after ordering. Clam chowder was extremely good and a meal itself, but I had a crab roll, too, which was also good. Would eat there again next time we're in the area.”

“Amazing food! Simply delicious. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxing. Five stars for sure.”

“Great experience, service, and food every visit!”

“An AMAZING breakfast find in the Bar Harbor area! The food was so delicious that I was/will be a regular whenever I'm in Bar Harbor. The food tastes homemade and super fresh. The biscuit was moist and delicious and the homemade strawberry butter was insanely delicious! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!”

“Try the Maple Oat. Maple syrup, oat milk and double expresso. Freaking amazing!!”

“Friendly service, amazing crew, great food and the owners are local which adds an extra vibe of knowing your customers and what they like!!!!!! ❤️”

“I recently had the pleasure of photographing the NYE party at Side Street Cafe. I was so impressed with the crew behind the scenes that I just have to leave a review! Having dined at Side Street in the past I already recommend this establishment to my clients traveling to Acadia for good food and adventure. But now that I have worked alongside their staff what an amazing restaurant! Attentive, kind, welcoming, are just a few words I’d use to describe Side Street and her Crew. They truly have the Bar Harbor vibe perfected! You won’t be disappointed you visited! Great food, great service, fun and wonderful atmosphere! Can’t wait to come back!”

“Great service and atmosphere! My spaghetti pomodoro was okay, husband loved the the chicken parm. The exploding cake dessert blew us away with both taste and presentation!”

“This place is a gem in Bar Harbor. The spider roll was delicious and the sticky rice with mango was amazing. The staff is very attentive and offered great service. Highly recommend.”

“Excelente atención todo limpio y muy hermoso y su personal muy amable, me encanta todo esto ,❤️❤️❤️👍🏻🥂”

“I was in town to photograph the NYE party at Side Street Cafe for the evening. My second photographer and I decided to treat ourselves to a reservation at McKays for dinner before we had to be to work and I can confidently say it was a great choice as usual! We both sipped on a delicious Hibiscus 75 (new favorite??). Our server was attentive, kind, and soft spoken. We thoroughly enjoyed his service! For dinner I had the seafood risotto and OH MY was that dish delicious!! Everything was cooked perfectly and I cannot wait to go back again.”

“We have 3 small children and we felt very comfortable eating here. We had the lobster pizza and let’s just say it was nothing short of AMAZING!”

“Wonderful! Great food and drinks!”

“Great beautiful place :) !”

“Stopped in for appetizers and a beverage. The buffalo Roasted Cauliflower was a pleasant surprise! Pretzel was soft with the right amount of salt. Loved the spicy mustard dip. The hard cider was nice and cold.”

“Always amazing food and excellent service. Intimate atmosphere just on the edge of downtown, one of our favorite dinner spots.”
