14 Best American Restaurants near Southwest Harbor

“By far the best meal we had on the island… definitely one of the best meals ever period. From the service to the homemade table bread (which by itself was off the charts amazing) this was a world class experience in a cozy setting. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you for a delicious meal!“

“Wicked awesome to find a restaurant that has great food, is reasonably priced (for Bar Harbor) and also caters to food allergies! I’ve recently come up with some food sensitivities and can no longer have gluten or dairy, and these guys acted like it was no big deal at all. We will definitely be back next time we are in town!“

“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.“

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

“Great food with an attentive staff. Just enjoyed a wonderful meal with our out of town friends.“

“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!“

“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!“

“So. We had a choice to make between two places and decided to leave one whale behind and come to Finback.
Total right move. Completely different vibe. Matty P was awesome as our bartender. On point. He made some great recommendations. I’ll second the lobster pot pie. Slamming.“

“Great food great staff 🦞🦞🦞“

“Recently visited Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. During our stay we ate here several times. Every one of our meals was delicious. Fish and chips was the highlight. 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.“
