The seafood is fresh and plentiful and the price is more than reasonable which I can't say about almost all Lobster places in Maine right now - to top it off it's impeccably clean and they actually have a Dedicated handwashing station for after you're finished with your seafood....brillant!!! read more

WOW ~ passed this place, looked it up on YELP & turned around to try this place. Tummy is so happy we did ~ they have 3 different styles of lobster rolls ~ we tried two and loved both ~ ! The clam chowder and corn on the cob were just amazing as well!! Extremely friendly staff, causal, nice music & very clean restrooms!! read more

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. read more

This is the best lobster roll in both taste and price. I had way too many lobster rolls during my trip to Acadia and I can confirm with 100% certainty that Acadia lobster is THE BEST. Not only do they flavor the lobster rolls well but the actual lobsters are boiled perfectly. Their corn is also sooo sweet and clam chowder amazing. The mussels were whatever and a bit gritty but regardless this place was sooo good. The only thing is i went on a boat tour and they said maine lobsters have specific restrictions ie you can't catch a pregnant lobster but we ate one with a lot of roe and it was delicious but maybe it isn't actually a maine lobster which in that case perhaps that's why this spot is soooo good???? UNSURE BUT HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

The lobster & the accoutrements were very good, and the prices were great!! (I paid less here for a while lobster dinner than I paid elsewhere for an inferior lobster roll... ) You can either sit inside or outside on picnic benches, so it had a casual kind of vibe. Plus, very friendly/accommodating staff that made you feel like they really appreciated your patronage. Thumbs up!! read more

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. read more

This was amazing. Have been coming to Maine annually since 2014 and this place is in line with "the greats" 1000000% should be on your list.

This has such a great environment, great food and great service. Being our first time in Maine, got to say this place hit all the checkboxes for our first time eating Maine Lobster. Make sure you make this a stop while at Acadia. read more

What a great place to try out first lobster roll! Service was amazing and the food was just as good. It may look like much from the road but it delivers in every aspect. We had the New England lobster roll, lobster Mac and cheese, the cheddar brisket, corn on the cob. Finished maybe the best blueberry pie on the east coast. Do not pass this place up, you'll regret it if you do. read more

We were staying close by and heard people talking about Acadia Lobster so we had to give it ago! We are glad we did because the minute we walked up to the very casual looking place we were warmly welcomed. The young man that took our order was friendly, fun, and helpful. The woman who brought us our meal was also upbeat and informative. I'm sure she is asked the same questions day after day but took time to instruct us on the fine art of lobster eating. What a wonderful mess we made. Terrific food and lively staff=a great place to eat. We will be return customers. read more

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

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! read more

This place is amazing! Great food, great service and great people. The lobster roll was the best we had while in Maine.

Best lobster! At the best price. The staff was so friendly and nice. The restaurant is super cute and outdoors. That would be my first stop.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Acadia Lobster Company. My wife and I ordered the clam chowder, corn on the cob, steamed clams, and the brisket sandwich. All of the food was delicious, including the coleslaw, which in all honesty I do not like but always have to try. Pricing for our meal was completely fair, and the lobster costs (which we didn't get) were lower than what I would expect in the area. Some things that added to the experience, great staff. They all seemed happy to be there and were chipper chatting with us a little bit about the place and the cooking area. We chose to eat at the indoor picnic tables and they were clean, some places let their picnic tables get sticky, not so at ACL. Great spot indoor or outdoors. Finally, this made it a 5 star for me. THE BATHROOM WAS CLEAN!!! Seriously, so many places overlook the bathroom cleanliness. ACL bathroom was clean, smelled nice, well lit, and I really appreciated that. If you are in the area, get lunch or dinner at Acadia Lobster Company. read more

So glad we stopped here since it was right across from our motel. Hands down the best no frills lobster roll and if you don't get the blueberry pie your loss. The pie was some of the best pie I have had, and fresh, not sugary! read more

The lobster roll was fantastic.. They did a great job on the renovations place looks very nice. Wishing them very much success the future. We will be back tomorrow. Thanks. Bob from Pennsylvania visiting.. read more

This place was amazing. Prices are super reasonable: we got a 1.5+ pound lobster dinner ($35), 3 Maine lobster rolls ($23 each & served with really good chips and cole slaw), 2 clam clowders ($9 each and super delicious and worth it), steamers ($12.50), an extra side of corn, a western bbq burger, and 4 beers (good local ones for only $4 each) for a total of about $168. And, we ended up going back up for 2 blueberry cobblers (delicious and only $3 each). Food was amazing. Service was really good and the people were kind. They even brought us a big bowl of water for our dog. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Very good lunch spot! We needed something quick and easy since we were in a rush and this place delivered! We weren't that hungry so we decided to split the smoked mussels and the pulled pork cheese fries. The mussels were delicious and the smoky flavor really came through. They had old bay (or something similar) seasoning on top of them and were delicious! The pulled pork on top of the fries was some of the best I've had and the fries were perfectly crispy! I would definitely come back! read more

So many options in the area but I wanted a place where my husband could get BBQ and I could get mussels. This place was perfect, with a screened in patio plus outdoor seating. I had the smoked mussels and they were fantastic! My husband had the combo pork and brisket sandwich, "Phil" something or another. A glass of wine for me and a beer for him. Easy going music and hospitable staff and I think the owner. Give this place a try! read more

Nice family run establishment, fast service. I had the BBQ Brisket with onion rings and baked beans, BBQ Brisket was very moist and tasty, good size portion. Baked beans were very good and onion rings were ok, were a bit cold Wife tried the Smoked Lobster dinner with fries and Cole slaw. Lobster was ok, lobster tail meat was a bit chewy seemed a bit over cooked. Nice size lobster was served. Plenty of seating inside and out and good size parking lot. Will be going back again while in Bar Harbor / Ellsworth area. Price of meals was about average for this area. Spent about $80 for the two dinner meals and two bottles of soda. read more

We lust this place. We were carried inside by the wafts of bbq cooking outdoors. They, like so many, have staffing issues. Our first attempt they were closed due to a staff shortage. Our second pass we got lucky. We ordered the brisket and ribs with Mac n Cheese x2. I am so glad we came back! The brisket was melt in your mouth tender and the ribs fells off the bones. The dry rub on the ribs was fantastic and even though it came with BBQ sauce, it wasn't necessary. The Mac-n-Cheese was creamy with a solid amount of cheese. The noodles were not over baked so they held their shape nicely. We did not walk away hungry. Our next visit was only days later ad we wanted to try the smoked lobster. It is cooked, split, seasoned, and then smoked. While it was nicely seasoned, we found the tail meat quite chewy. The claws were yummy and the garlic butter was enough for the entire lobster.. It was a bit challenging to us who aren't raised in lobster territory to work through the process of retrieving the tasty morsels using a nut cracker and a plastic fork. While we weren't crazy about this choice we will defiantly be back for the BBQ dishes. The service is minimal. You order food at the counter, take your number, and choose a table inside or a picnic table outside. The food is delivered and that's the end of the service. There are dish tubs to place dirty dishes or baskets and trash cans for the remaining items on the tray. There is a single bathroom in an out building, much like a small storage shed. It is clean and meets expectations. We loved the small business vibe and if we lived closer would be frequent guests. read more

A nice stop right before the bridge into the tourist town of Bar Harbor. This felt very local and wasn't as overpriced as some of the other spots on the island, but still wasn't cheap! We had one Connecticut Lobster Roll and one Maine Lobster roll, potato salad, coleslaw, and clam chowder. It was all pretty good but the lobster portions seemed smaller than other places. The chowder was boiling hot which was great but I didn't think that through when it was so hot outside, but it was very good! The outdoor seating had tons of options and the umbrellas were great to stay in the shade. They had yard games setup that guests were enjoying and it was fun watching them cook the food outside. The table was pretty sticky from many years of eating but oh well. We would stop again if we visited the area. read more

We had a tasty meal at Acadia Lobster and BBQ. Three of us had the lobster roll. We had a few briskets and a pork sandwich too. I really liked the onion rings. The meals were served quick and hot. The beverage choices were good too. We ate indoors, but it was a nice night to eat on the picnic tables! The young lady who was at the register was very helpful since it was our first time there. read more

Thanks to Yelp I found this place!!! After a long drive, we arrived at our cottage and the other lobster place I planned to go to closed for the season. I found this place and called them to see if we could bring our dog! The answer was yes and off we go!!! We ordered steamers, lobster roll (only one size) and smoked lobster dinner!! The smoke lobster dinner was so good with the seasoning!! You know what? After I had my first meal here, we came back for 3 times more!! The fries were delicious, thin cut and CRUNCHY!! The steamers were fresh! I heard the lobster roll was rich and delicious as well!! Could not ask for a better experience!! Staff were so nice and friendly!! We made some conversation with several of the staff!! Other things you might want to know: Great place to hang out, has tables outdoor and corn holes Dogs friendly: not only ours but a few were hanging out in the place read more

Here is a secret... do not eat inside Bar Harbor area, come miles away and hit some dive locations! There are plenty! We chose this location after eliminating two others. Glad we eliminated those two because when we passed the other locations they were jam packed with people. Acadia Lobster had a line, but it went fast enough where we could figure out our game plan for dinner. Seating was comfortable. We sat inside at a large double picnic table set up. The staff!! Let me tell you about the staff! They were amazing and so hardworking! The gal at the register was so patient and did not appear stressed at all with the line and amounts of people. She was bubbly and delivered service with a smile. A young man whom I call her partner in crime was a blast. He was on getting those drinks, delivering food and delivering their amazing blueberry pie. He was so much fun! He even interacted with the kiddos. There were two cooks that I saw. Dropping corn, picking out lobster, plating food ect. They had it down like a well oiled machine. We did not have to wait long for our food. One last employee I saw.... This older gentleman bussing tables and delivering food! Every employee I saw was working hard including him. The food was great. Potato salad was delicious. The lobster was juicy and soft shell. Pricing was perfect! They could charge an arm and a leg but, they did not. In Houlton, Maine lobster was $13.99lb a pound. We paid $44 for 2 lobsters and 2 sides. I appreciate a good honest business that does not take advantage or tourist. The BBQ was great! Of course it was no Texas or Carolina BBQ, but it was perfect for Maine, and I am not sure that is a fair comparison. A little fatty here and there but, fantastic flavor. The blueberry pie... that pie! Do not skip it! Made with small blueberries that pack a delicious punch. The bottom crust a little soft which I throughly enjoyed that this girl got up and got another piece! Only complaint the bathroom. I could tell they had a plan, but it needed to be tended too. A little mop here, wipe here an a spritz of something good smelling should do it. But, they still get 5/5 stars because that can be a simple fix. read more

There are several lobster pounds along the route to Acadia National Park. I'm glad we stopped here. They have land for the husband and sea for me! I am in Maine and by golly, I am going to get me a whole lobster! This place has fulfilled by dreams of the past 15 years since I last came here. I got the lobster dinner and you bet I finished that whole lobster all by myself. And yes, I know how to eat one. If you don't, I suggest checking out a youtube video before digging in. You want to make sure you get to every little crevice of that lovely crustacean. When I went to place our order, I mistakenly said, "unhappy marriage sandwich" for my husband's order. Apparently, they didn't notice (or perhaps too kind to correct me) because the menu actually says, "unhealthy marriage." Oh well, one does lead to the other. The sandwich was definitely filled with lots of meat which my husband likes. Wish we had lobster pounds around here. I'd probably come here every weekend. Covid protocols: Staff does not wear masks inside or outside. Service: Helpful and friendly for the limited interaction that we had. It's mostly a "order-at-the-counter" place. Parking: Plentiful. read more
