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.

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!“

“Hubby & I ended our wedding day with a trip to Beal’s to grab some lobster rolls & catch the sunset, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect end to the best day. Lobster rolls are the best we’ve had in Maine, blueberry cheesecake was amazing, staff was so kind and excited to have us there and we were seated at perfect, intimate indoor table with gorgeous views of the harbor. Went back the next day and had scallops & clams, and food was equally as amazing and fresh as night before. We LOVE Beal’s and will be visiting any time we make it back up to Maine!!“

“We were at Charlotte’s on Wednesday 8/20 there were 4 of us and even though it was a little on the cool side, we totally enjoyed our meals. Our meals consisted of fried shrimp & clams, a hot dog and fresh lobster rolls along with French fries, coleslaw and pickles with the sandwiches. Price was comparable with other restaurants in the area. Plenty of parking and room to move around. A great place to watch the power of the ocean.“

“Wonderful Lobster dinner. Great drink. Our waitress was super! OMG blueberry pie yum 😋“

“Can’t recommend Bubs enough. Meats are always tender and juicy, sauces are one of a kind, complimentary ingredients are chosen well, and the burritos are massive. The owner, Serkan, is a great guy. Nice to have another local restaurant doing good things.“

“We had the Pot Roast breakfast meal today and it was amazing - so tender, flavorful and a unique combination of components for a memorable and hardy breakfast...lunch did not happen! Thanks so much for that, along with great service, and staying open longer than the tourists come. See you soon!“

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.“

“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!“

“The only thing I can tell you is we smelled it walking by and it did not disappoint. We went back two days in a row and it might just be the best pizza we ever had… in a tourist area to boot!“

“Had dinner here in October when on a trip with my mom. It was a nice break from all the seafood places (not that we don't love our seafood) a nice relaxed place to just chill and enjoy a meal. I had the chicken sandwich and it's ruined every other chicken sandwich I've had since (and chicken is my jam). Also if they sold jars of their homemade pickles I'd have bought multiple they were so good!!“

“Real Ale is the best Red I think I have ever had. Left with a case!! Smashburger is amazing! Staff was so welcoming, we sat at the Bar, I dont know the bartenders name , from Mass i think but she was the best! All in, We loved it.“

First time having haddock fish and chips. Really well executed on crispy exterior and moist flakey flesh. The service was good. Met some really nice wait staff here and enjoyed the conversations.“
