25 Best American Restaurants in Bar Harbor

“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.“

“The food was mind-blowing !! The team running it is super nice, the sit out area aka waiting area is clean and the music while waiting is just perfect !! Now coming to Food - we ordered Calamari , shrimps, jerk Mac n cheese, chicken wings, hot lobster roll and beet salad and I can just say kids and adults couldn’t stop finger licking and vowed to be going back again next morning !!! In a nutshell you have to come to this place if you are in the bar ha or area!! Perfect fresh yummy hot food after a long day of hiking !!“

“Beautiful scenic views Delicious seafood dinners“

“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.“
