Lobster and Lobster Mac n Cheese
Gil A.

One of the best places we've eaten at while visiting Acadia NP. The lobster and the lobster mac n cheese was delicious. Great price and fantastic staff, super friendly. Really enjoyed the whole feel of the place.

Lobster roll and chowder
Caleigh B.

We loved this place so much, we went twice on our trip! Great prices for lobster. We had lobster rolls and chowder. Also $5 draft beer and cheap mussels. Such a great place.

Perfectly cooked lobster - look at that tail meat!
Amber H.

WOW! First of all this place has new owners - if you tried it before, I implore you TRY IT AGAIN! The food, the prices, the service, the location - all absolute perfection. Our party of 4 had the lobster mac n cheese (didn't get a pic of this because my son devoured it so quickly, YUM!), crab roll, clam chowder and 2 lobster dinners, plus a couple cold beers to wash it down. It was all amazing. Best lobster dinner I've had up here, and we've been coming to Maine for 14 years. The folks working here are all so attentive, kind, going above and beyond. Example - I don't care for the stuff in the body that you sometimes get with super fresh lobsters. Apparently this is a delicacy, but this Southern girl says no thanks. I asked if they would mind giving it a little dip to clean it out once broken. No rolled eyes, no hesitation, just absolutely YES. They cleaned it out, split it open and returned it to our table in a fresh boat. WOW! The lobsters were cooked to perfection. So tender, so juicy, so very fresh. The corn was crisp and amazing. Cole slaw is not usually my jam but their version was delicious! We cleaned our plates. The crab roll had tons of crab - super sweet and amazing. Clam chowder was the perfect balance of creamy broth, clams (so tender), and potatoes. We were already planning our next trip before we left the first time.

Halve lobsters and mussels
Heather G.

Under new ownership and recently opened again! We were here last year for the other owners and loved it, so we came back. We ordered our lobsters and also indulged in a dozen mussels, Pinot Grigio and Downeast cider! Everything was delicious, staff was very friendly and even brought out a bowl of water for our dog. Dogs are welcome which continues with the wonderful theme of the area of Bar Harbor. We spent one week in Maine this year and came to Acadia Lobster Co twice because the standards for great lobsters and seafood was upheld. Very personable staff from greeting walking to the register to order, to the cashier and the staff that brings the food out. Great addition of hand wash station for two people when your done cracking claws and shells! Very clean eating areas, hand wash station and bathrooms. We look forward to seeing yall next year! Good luck!

Great service, fast, and sooooo cheap!!! Best deal and the best lobster in Acadia!! I would definitely come again

Awesome people, great food!! What more could you ask? We got here shortly before closing and they were very accommodating.

Crab roll

We came back again. This time we had the New England Lobster Roll (hot with butter), a crab roll, corn on the cob, coleslaw, chips and a whoopie pie.

The floor here is so cool

The lobster rolls were Super Fresh the Acadia burger was perfectly cooked and the brisket was very tender. Mikey was extra helpful with the questions we had about the Lobster. Jenny was super nice and told us about some great spots around town.

The lobster is so good here that we've been coming on summer vacations for almost a decade. We've…read moretried other local lobster pounds, and now only come here. The "boiled in seawater" part might be the secret sauce - the hard shell lobsters are always perfectly cooked and seasoned. I've even bought a sweatshirt and a hat from them as souvenirs, which I've never done for any other restaurant in my life. Dinners from Trenton bridge are legitimately what i look forward to for my entire year. Try a large cooked lobster with butter and the crab dip with crackers. Maybe 2 or 3 times if you're up here for a whole week.

Lots of amazing staff from the guy who helps you pick your lobster, the guy who hands you your order at the counter, and the guys who make sure the dining areas are clean and ready for the next guests. Accessible restroom available for all genders and port a potty too ! The streamlined ordering process and delivery of dinner is amazing! They even circle your number to be called on the receipt! My elderly dad enjoyed the whole experience. Chairs and tables inside in their dining room, covered outdoor dining are was picnic tables with bench seating and covered patio tables with benches too. Bring a bag of trucks for the boys to play in the gravel while you wait for lobsters. Families welcome! Room for groups! We chose this place because of the many cars and reasonable prices. Would return again and again! The lobster was excellent!

My wife had a cup of the Lobster stew and I went with a cup of the Clam chowder -- both were outstanding, but we felt the chowder was the better. Still, the Lobster stew was loaded with claw meat. For our meals, my wife had the Lobster roll, I had Blue Hill Bay Herb Butter Mussels, and my Mother In Law went with Three Beef Burger (she doesn't eat seafood). All our meals were superb, they really hit the spot after a 6 hour drive up from Connecticut. My mussels seemed to have a smoky flavor to them, and the white wine sauce complemented the dish well. My wife's Lobster roll was meaty, she enjoyed it. To finish it all off, we shared a slice of homemade raspberry pie a la mode -- that was certainly one of the best pieces of pie we've all ever had. The crust was buttery with a hint of sweetness, it was just simply delicious. Service was also stellar, Dennis was very personable & attentive. We definitely would come back to the Union River Lobster Pot in Ellsworth, we are even thinking about doing so on our current vacation, it was that good. An Easy 5 Star review, well deserved.

They don't take reservations, so I recommend dining there around when they first open as we only had to wait 20 minutes for a table. While we waited we were able to get drinks at the bar and walk around the flower gardens, I mean can you think of anything more New England summer? A must order appetizer is their roasted chickpeas, they are simple yet out of this world as they are inedible flavorful and have a nice crunch!

No. But it's a nice healthy option if you want to lay off the butter and lobster for an evening or just want more veggies in general. I personally wasn't a fan of the customer service. The waitress looked very annoyed with our questions and had to repeat one things to us about an entree. We felt like an inconvenience and when we wanted a side or water, it was very difficult to flag our waitress down. When asking another waitress-- they also appeared annoyed. Potatoes and veggie shareables: The best it can get. You can tell the chef really put his heart into these recipes. I should have just ordered more of this. Pizza: It looks great but lacked so much flavor. It fell apart so quickly, couldn't even hold. The crust was also overly burnt. The pepperoni is "local" but way too spicy for a typical pep. They need a sauce to help cool down the spice-- I'd say ranch-- but maybe the chef can come up with one better. It was one of the worst pizzas I've had. Cocktails: Tasty and refreshing. I wasn't drinking but went with Hop water. Adding a lemon to it helped brighten it up-- surprised that's not offered. A great one time experience!

This is a shame, because the place brings a great culinary diversity to an area where others might, as I did, want to pull over on the way to Bar Harbor. Vegan options were plentiful, and I got my coconut-infused curry with chickpeas, receiving a zingy, spicy flavor. Their naan was somewhat unconventionally given as an appetizer with chutneys, but this worked fine for me and it was freshly grilled. The portion size for the price was not huge, and I was actually surprised that they didn't do traditional Sri Lankan dishes like kootu paratha, but I was happy that i pulled over, and the option remains to travelers for a little while longer.
