“Amazing lobster rolls! We might even come again before we leave to head home.”

“My husband and I were traveling around the area for an extended weekend, and we made sure to have a lobster roll for lunch every day. Archie's was by far our favorite! Along with the blueberry pie!”

“All of the dishes I've had here have been wonderful, tasty and beautifully presented. Great addition to SWH, so glad because I live about 20 minutes from SWH so it's convenient.”

“I had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich which was amazing. You can tell that these guys love what they do and care about their food. Definitely coming back if I’m back in the area.”

“We LOVED eating here. Everything was amazing, the food was spectacular and the drinks were amazing, and the service staff were incredibly friendly and you can tell they loved working there. Our favorite was the creamy kale - we went back the next night to get it again.”

“Me and my boyfriend stopped by for dinner during shoulder season in Acadia (October) and had an amazing experience! We got the traveler smash burger and the smokehouse fried chicken sandwich (plus fries). We both preferred the chicken, although both were delicious! I think this is the best fried chicken sandwich I’ve ever had: wasabi flavor, crisp cucumber, and sweet bbq sauce. The fries were good but a little bit salty — get some to share rather than an order each!

Service was so lovely as well, would go back in a heartbeat.”

“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!”

“Fantastic lobster dinner with muscles, clams topped off with homemade blueberry pie and ice cream!”

“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.”

“The best customer service ever!!! And a wonderful tasty treat for the whole family. Sizes are generous and the prices are great! Amazing ice coffee, too!”

“10/10 - service, food and beverages - amazing! Stopped in during a visit to bar harbor this past weekend and were well taken care of by the staff who provided great food and beverage recommendations, also attentive with the service! Be sure to try the blue corn chips and if you like spice - try the hot salsa!”

“If you’re in Bar Harbor and you want to drink until 1 in the morning, this is one of two options. But lucky for you, it’s a great option. The bartenders are extremely knowledgeable, and the whiskey selection was above average. I tried a new Japanese whiskey that I had never seen before. That’s a pretty cool thing to experience in northern Maine in December. You can also see women dressed like Elsa from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and men wearing colorful ski jackets from the 80s. The Barnacle is a must visit if you’re in Bar Harbor.”

“Amazing place. Kitchen is open until 11pm which is a blessing! The staff is super chill and the food is amazing! The pulled pork sandwich is fire and so is the burger. Definitely check it out when you’re in town!”

“Sandwiches are fresh and ingredients are top quality. Baked goods are fantastic. I bought a strawberry rhubarb pie today and it was perfect, that crust was amazing. This shop is my quilty treat after cleaning cottages on the island. Thank you for being there.”

“Food was delicious but the service was less than acceptable. The girl that assisted us made us feel more of a bother or inconvenience. There was only 1 coffee made out of 5 machines, not everyone is a fan of dark roast or decaf. And the creamer machine was not working. We had the bacon omelet and blueberry pancakes, delicious. Coffee just meh. Prices are Island priced.”

“This place is doing absolutely beautiful things for this community. We had heard about it on one of the MDI pages. My husband and I wanted to check out the popovers but what we walked away with was so much more. We were welcomed in by the volunteers, given directions on how it all worked, and were able to have some incredible popovers while listening to music. We returned our last morning on island with our entire family, including our two dogs and enjoyed popovers as we sung along to songs from the Common Good Band. It was my 7 months olds first time on the island and I am so glad she got to experience all of that. Incredible Popovers, Awesome atmosphere and great cause. We can’t wait to come back on our next visit.”

“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. 😋”

“Great place! Wish they were open for lunch too”

“A Perfect Stay at the Claremont – Made Unforgettable by Captain Alwyn (sp?) and Lady A Our stay at the Claremont was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The rooms were beautifully appointed, the service was attentive and warm, and the location couldn’t have been more picturesque. Every detail felt thoughtful and refined. Dining at Little Fern was also a highlight—delicious food, elegant ambiance, and top-tier hospitality. But what truly made our trip unforgettable was our charter with Lady A. We were lucky enough to set out with Captain Alwyn, a knowledgeable and passionate local who brought the beauty of the area to life in such a personal and engaging way. From hidden coves to sweeping coastal views, every moment on the water felt like a scene from a dream. Captain Alwyn’s expertise, warmth, and deep roots in the community made the experience both relaxing and enriching. If you’re staying at the Claremont, I can’t recommend this experience enough. Treat yourself to a day on Lady A—it’s a must-do, and one of the most memorable parts of our Maine getaway.”

“Such a cute bakery in Bar Harbor. It was the best coffee we had on our trip. The pastries were delicious - we loved the apple brownie and blueberry crumb cake. The atmosphere is super cute and cozy.”

“I have a severe dairy allergy and they were extremely accommodating! Great food, great atmosphere, wonderful staff.”

“Sandwiches are fresh and ingredients are top quality. Baked goods are fantastic. I bought a strawberry rhubarb pie today and it was perfect, that crust was amazing. This shop is my quilty treat after cleaning cottages on the island. Thank you for being there.”

“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.”
