Restaurants near Hancock

“Ironbound is more than restaurant. It’s a Maine experience. Staff are as friendly and genuine as you would expect Maine folk to be. The food was beyond excellent from the crab curry soup to the chocolate torte. The ambience is sophisticated yet comfortable. There are so many interesting artifacts placed strategically to keep the conversation going between courses. Our first experience at Ironbound but not our last.”

“Amazing service and amazing lobster rolls ♥️ a great eat before boarding the ferry back to Nova Scotia! Will be back!”

“I my opinion, this is the best restaurant in Bar Harbor. The lobster bisque is exceptional! You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Was here 3 years ago and back again yesterday! Perfect Maine!”

“I was hesitant about taking my young family here, but the loft did not disappoint! It's a new family favorite in Bar Harbor, and I have converted to loving seafood and the raw menu because of the loft! The ahi tuna nachos were a hit all around and a big recommendation to try! We can't wait to go back! The staff and food was amazing, and they even catered to my two children (1yr and 4yrs old).”

“Large portions and good value. Food very good within its category and a cut above the average diner experience.”

“Best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had! Wonderful customer service 🌯”

“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. ;)”

“This place is a MUST! Over the week we have been in Bar Harbor we have ate at A LOT of places, Tap & Barrel is hands the best meal I’ve had here by a long shot. Marina was super knowledgeable and gave 15/10 service! You will not regret stopping here and grabbing a bite to eat or even just some drinks!”

“Perfect restaurant to take a young family. We have an infant and a 3 year old and you were so accommodating. The oysters (with delicious mignotte’s) chowder and lobster roll were on point. Thanks will definitely come back next trip to Bar Harbor.”

“We had the best time and best food here! My sister and I and our families and my two pups all ate dinner here on August 16th, 2024. Our service was excellent and the food was SO good. My pups were greeted and given a bowl of water and enjoyed the smoked turkey off dog menu too! Solid selection of local beers and nice variety of cocktails to choose from too. I would highly recommend checking this place out. There’s also an ice cream shop right next door, if you happen to not be too stuffed after your meal!”

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

“I'm a raving fan! Order on-line, pick up on Main St. - way too easy and worth every penny. Each sandwich is a meal. Still working thru the entire menu to determine my favorite. 😋”

“awesome ice cream! would stop here again but first item listed on toppings is jimmies.... my kids asked what these were and we had a conversation about the racist origins of the word. hope to see this change before our next visit!”

“The best pub food on the entire Eastern Seaboard! 💚”

“It was our first day in Bar Harbor and we chose Galyn’s for dinner. It was delicious. We sat on their front porch overlooking the harbor. The food was great and our waitress was so nice; very pleasant. We had the stuffed crab mushrooms, haddock sandwiches and blueberry crisp-a la mode for dessert. Yummy.”

“Their late-night happy hour was a highlight of my last trip. The oysters were so fresh, and their mignonette put every other I’ve ever had to complete shame.”

“Bagels and english muffin sandwiches were very tasty. Iced Latte and Matcha latte (hot) were good. The matcha was a very dark green matcha and it was not too sweet.

The line was insane so consider to order ahead.”

“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!”
