Came here after viewing a sun rise in the harbor and waited about 15 mins outside. By 0705am this placed was filling up! Very popular and scrumptious! Had the great big Maine breakfast with a few extra things on the side and really put it down! Surprised the waiter and I’ll say it was truly filling post the day before hiking up Cadillac Mountain! Well worth it here!

Very busy small place so get there early. Hostess was rude, an older lady, seemed like she didn't want to be there and acted as if she was the key to the restaurant. My food was average, omelet was overcooked. The restaurant was very clean.

A great spot for breakfast when visiting Bar Harbor. I was here over the summer with my fiance and we had an excellent experience. I love the story of how his place is owned by a couple that decided to quit their office jobs to start this place. Their bread was delicious and so was the omelette I ordered. They were also the #2 blueberry pancake of the trip (we tried a lot of places). They just barelly missed the #1 spot.

Great breakfast spot in Bar Harbor. We had the blueberry pancakes and the pot roast delight (pot roast with eggs and home fries). Everything was so tasty but the real star of the show is their sauces! The blueberry sauce on the pancakes is an absolute winner (you do need to add it on to the order) and the strawberry rhubarb sauce that comes on the table was a great balance of tart and sweet!This place gets busy quickly so don’t forget to sign up for the waitlist on their website!

Very good service & the breakfasts we had were exceptional. It's worth the wait....but get on the waitlist before you come.

A great breakfast. I would strongly recommend. I had the pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon.

I recently visited with my family and this was one of the more disappointing stops on the trip. Upon arriving there was already a wait despite it being early. The estimated wait time was accurate and we were able to walk around town a bit while we waited to be called. After being seated our waitress came to take our order. We have a 3 year old son who is just learning how to talk and we have been encouraging him to order for himself at restaurants. The waitress rudely cut him off and told us she would need us to order for him, suggesting that she was too busy for the 20 seconds it would have taken for him to order for himself. We were a bit shocked by this, especially in a place that so clearly caters nearly exclusively to visitors. We ended up ordering pancakes among other things. For a pancake house the pancakes were pretty uninspired. They were flat and chewy, not soft or fluffy. I can't imagine this is the case but they tasted like they were just made out of a store bought, just add water, mix. We did appreciate the No Cell Phones policy, which we did actually see enforced and besides the first impression with the waitress the staff was generally friendly.

Once you find a parking space, it's all uphill from there when dining at Jeannie's Great Maine Breakfast! There was a small wait, but there is plenty of window shopping and people watchng to keep you busy. The staff is definitely a step above other places that we visited. They provided efficient, friendly service and new their stuff. As far as the food the blueberry pancakes were awesome. I tried the strawberry rhubarb preserves on part of my pancakes and I loved it. You must try the preserves! Hubby had eggs with biscuits and gravy and made a special mention of how good the biscuits were. The atmosphere was Saturday morning hustle and bustle of a small Maine town, which was exactly what were looking for! If in Bar Harbor, stop here for Breakfast!.

Absolutely wonderful breakfast! My husband and I both loved what we got and he service is fast and our server was so nice! Definitely recommend stopping in for breakfast!
Food was top notch. We stopped here right when they opened after we saw the Sunrise on Cadillac Mountain. They were fast with service and we had no wait. The restaurant was a little small, but it was super cozy. Get the blueberry muffin grilled. It was incredible.

We loved Jeannie's so much that we ate there twice on our short trip to Bar Harbor. We're from the south, so we were interested to see how the breakfast here compared to the large, buttery breakfasts we're used to. The food was delicious. I can't have dairy so I was excited to see they had BOTH dairy-free and vegan options on the menu. I had the gluten- and dairy-free pancakes and I would genuinely never have guessed that they were free of gluten or dairy. Got them again the second time we visited. The service was excellent both times, with the waitresses being super kind, fast, and helpful. The outdoor seating area is super cute (when it's not too cold to be out there) and was a great quiet place to eat while watching shoppers pass by. Highly recommend Jeannie's when you're in Bar Harbor. We'll absolutely be back next time.

Food was decent. They really do make everything from scratch. Pancakes had the right blend of chewiness and softness. The homefri s were cooked just right and not too overly greasy or seasoned.I wasn't too thrilled with the lackluster service or being seated outside in the cold when there was plenty of inside seating, but the food was good.

My French toast was fantastic! The home fries were great. Our waitress was so sweet and friendly, like family! I didn't love the way the hostess treated us, but that's okay because the food and our waitress made up for it !

You know it's good when there's a line out the door on an early weekday morning! Luckily we only had to wait 15 minutes for a table, but it's clear why. This little restaurant has a hometown charm to it. Whether it's the service, the decor, or even the food, everything here is done well. Because I was craving something more savory, I decided to order a Mexican Burrito - which consisted of egg, peppers, cheese, and pico de gallo and came with sides of sour cream and home fries. The dish was very tasty and filling, and I had a taste of the blueberry pancakes which someone in my party ordered, which were also delicious. If I had more time in Bar Harbor I'd definitely come back and try some other menu items!
