Restaurants near Southwest Harbor

“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!!”

“We stopped here during our day trip to Acadia. Our server was so friendly and attentive, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was just what we were looking for - a quick bite to eat in a cozy place. I hope to go back here next time I’m in the area!”

“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.”

“Ordered a panini and was mistakenly given someone else’s order with 3 paninis. Once I returned to the register and informed the staff they immediately worked on sorting it out. Not only did they make sure my correct order was out in the next five minutes, they refunded my entire purchase. The food was definitely worth it and I would come back and eat here again. Customer service on point!”

“Best dinner of our trip! The chef was out chatting with diners, the bartender was kind, and the food was delicious!! Get the chocolate pudding- it’s worth saving room for.”

“Friday night specials and drinks were great. Different than you would find elsewhere in down east Maine. Our drinks were always full, we left full without much to take home, and the service was friendly and on point. Great job at this unique restaurant and sports bar! Next time we are in the area this is where we’ll be eating!”

“Breakfast sandwiches/wraps were delicious!! Went there two days in a row and was so happy both days. We got regular lattes-nothing special but the coffee hit the spot.”

“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!”

“We were a group of friends from Ohio that landed at Table Salt on vacation. What a great experience! Loved the atmosphere, the food, and our waitress was top notch! Highly recommend!”

“We stopped and bought a second blueberry pie during our vacation due to it being the best blueberry pie I’ve ever eaten. Would highly recommend you stop here and get a pie!”

“Fantastic food one of the best locations on the island.”

“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!”

“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!”

“My boyfriend and I are from the Portland area and we needed a little getaway so we spent the weekend in Bar Harbor on the off season. We stayed just down the street from The Barnacle and Trevor the bartender took great care of us! He made us feel welcome and just like one of the locals. I asked for an espresso martini without Baileys and he created a dark chocolate orange espresso martini which was the best espresso martini I have ever had. 10/10 service and a great atmosphere that brings you all of the cozy New England vibes you could ask for. It’s a great spot for a quick snack and spirits. Will absolutely be coming back this summer!”

“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.”

“Each morning began with a generous breakfast at Everyday Joe’s. It was a 15-minute drive to the downtown from the Heathwood Inn where we stayed, but we received a voucher as part of our nightly charge. The portions were hearty, the quality impressive, and the cozy setting made it a great way to fuel up before hitting the trails.
We usually split an egg dish and a pancake. My favorite egg dish was Breakfast Quesadilla: Peppers, Onion, Bacon, Ham, Sausage, Tomato, Cheddar Cheese in white tortilla served with Sour Cream & Salsa. My favorite pancake was (not surprisingly) blueberry.
An extra perk of Everyday Joe’s was that it also was a pick up point for a shuttle service to Cadillac Mountain. It could have saved me a lot of aggravation if I had known about this service before our last day there.”

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

“Everything about it was amazing! The coffees were delicious! Best salmon Bagel my boyfriend has ever had. Service was wonderful and so quick! I highly recommend doing your breakfast there!”

“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!”

“Great pizza, movies and atmosphere … oh yeah and they serve beer both with and without alcohol”

“We’ve been coming to this location for the past several years to celebrate our wedding anniversary and every single time we are in awe of how magical it is💕 Between the amazing staff who put thought that it’s our wedding anniversary, the romantic atmosphere, and the view, so beautiful. Thank you for always making it special❤️ Also Bob is a wonderful pianist and Sabrina is a fantastic waitress, we always enjoy seeing her.”

“The food was amazing especially the fish and chips. Bryce our server was great. The drinks were on point. I definitely recommend this place!!!”

“We stopped in because we looked at their pizza menu and they looked delicious. We were told they were out of pizza dough which is weird for a pizzeria… we settled for other food and were not disappointed. Their pizza must be bomb if their other food was this good. Makes us want to go back but we’ll call ahead of time to make sure we can have pizza 😆”

“Best haddock sandwich in Bar Harbor! All the food is so fresh. Love the patio seating area. It’s been great having them open all year round. 10/10 recommend”

“Went to this little quaint shop on a whim during a roadtrip, and turned out to be a very memorable stop on my entire trip in Maine. My cappuccino was tasty & smooth. I was greeted at the door by Oscar, the sweet lab. Owner/barista was friendly. I'm sad this can't be my daily coffee stop.”

“Ummm yes please- the most delicious brownies, blondies, and this delicious fresh fruit amazingness!!!! Thank you, Karen for sharing your talent with your fortunate customers!!!!”

“Janice was recommended to us by our wedding planner for our July 2021 wedding. Her list of flavors is long and believe me, you could spend all day trying various combinations. For our tasting, every single slice we tasted was moist and amazing. We ended up getting a chocolate and yellow cake with peanut butter mouse and chocolate ganache filling. Never have I ever had something so rich, moist, and somehow light at the same time. For our frosting, I strongly dislike any traditional frostings. Janice suggested a whipped cream frosting thankfully. She provided us with a traditional looking 4 tier wedding cake with flowers (made by her out of merengue) cascading down the side. It was gorgeous! My sister who is a chef was impressed with the presentation, knowing that it was a whipped cream frosting which can be harder to work with. And believe me, this was the best cake I have ever had. 6 days later and it has retained all its flavor and moisture. I don’t seen how we will be able to make it to our first wedding anniversary with that in the freezer. I can’t stop thinking about how good the cake is. You will not be disappointed if you get your cake here!”

“Very nice casual atmosphere inside and outside dining. Consistent great food at reasonable price. Excellent service.”
