10 Best American Restaurants in Ellsworth

“It’s not always the food that makes a restaurant memorable—it’s how you’re greeted, how you’re treated, and the overall sense of hospitality.

I had a great meal at The Provender, but what truly made the experience special was my conversation with the bartender, Jen. She was knowledgeable, sincere, and did an excellent job guiding me through the menu. Her friendly and genuine approach elevated an already enjoyable dining experience.

The Provender is a fantastic hidden gem. Whether you’re heading into Bar Harbor or making your way out, it’s the perfect place to start your trip on a high note or end it on a fantastic one.

Great food, outstanding service, and warm hospitality. I highly recommend stopping in.“

“The smash burger was delicious and I loved the fresh cut fries!“

“Food fantastic. Seating area odd w blowere heaters n having to go outside n back into store to use restroom n pay bill. Nice servers, sunny in daytime.“

“This is a very cool spot. I love how small it is and the people you can meet. I have not tried the food just stopped in for a couple drinks. But I love the bar and plenty of lil things to look at on the walls. Will be returning in the future. Staff was friendly as well“

“We came out to hear a local band play and have a cold beverage. We are not disappointed. The Black Moon Public House has tasty appetizers. And amazing desserts..Staff is super friendly! Great place in our little community! We will be back!“

“Food is good, Father's day they had an awesome French toast that I still want to go back for. Sadly they are not really handicap accessible. There is one table for two at the left of the door that you can work with in a manual wheelchair if it is available. Other than that one table though, there is no other options that you don't get in the way or get bumped into, as the only other two top table is in the middle of the already tight isle. I sadly do not recommend this restaurant if you having any mobility issues.“

“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm“

“We took our friend in for lunch. My husband and I really enjoyed the homemade quality meals. My girlfriend not so much. She's one who likes really basic meals so it was hard to accommodate her. Grilled cheese was a great standby for her.“
