I think this was a fabulous stop..we were headed out of town and on a early August day with some overcast and grey menacing skies, we stopped so that I could devour a 3 lb lobster by myself..something that is easy for me to do. Lee had whole belly clams. Maybe it was an off hour, there were only a handful of other people there.. We sat out back under a huge awning, and there were self serve utensils, water and a porta potty on the side. I think fairly priced. View of the sea. Lovely visit. read more

Archie's Lobster - 3 pounder and whole belly clams - Seafood Near Me - Tremont, Maine

We come to MDI about every 3 to 5 years. This was the first time we stumbled across Archie's, it recently opened, and we love their outdoor setup along the ocean. When coming to this area you have a lot of lobster places to choose from. This one stands out with it's picnic style setup along with some magnificent ocean views. The typical lobster meal came with corn, bread, potato salad and your choice of size of lobster (price varies per market $$$). In general, it was around $20-$35 per meal based upon lobster weight. Service was great and the views were amazing. My only knock is some places offer blueberry cake with their lobstah! read more

We stopped by Archie's during the shoulder season in early September. It was mid afternoon and there were few customers at the unusual time we stopped, but it was clear based on seating they get quite a crowd! The location is right on the water and it gives off a vibe that is laid back and suiting for a lobster pound. I ordered a lobster roll with butter and a side of fries. A bag of chips was also included. The cost for the lobster roll is rather steep and naked vs butter vs mayo pricing doesn't seem to make sense given the minimal cost per roll, but there was a generous amount of lobster for the size of the roll. The flavor was fairly mild, but it was clear it was fresh. The claws were of course a touch sweeter and packed more flavor. Overall, if you enjoy a lobster roll I recommend Archie's. read more

Loved the outdoor atmosphere! Right on the water, toys for the kids, picnic tables along with tables and chairs. The lobster roll was fresh, bun slightly toasted and good fries too! Would definitely come here again. We went on a Monday in Sept around 4-430 and we got right in and fast service. Started to pick up as we were leaving. read more

Gem found by accident. Like we were Family !!! Drove down to another Lobster place (that was CLOSED) and found this Gem. Super nice family run Lobster Pound - with Picnic tables outside on Bass Harbor. So laid back and glad we found. The staff was awesome and very attentive. SHOUT OUT TO Kacey. She took the time and showed us how to get everything out of the Lobster. She came back a few more times to make sure we were good. SO NICE and fun to talk to. Like we were Family. There was Corn Hole and other games too. Thank you ARCHIE's - we will be back. read more

We were told this is the best lobster roll around and it did not disappoint. We got here before it opened because we were hungry but it started to get busy pretty quick. They have a lot of seating though so likely not a big issues when it's busy. Beautiful views of the water while you enjoy your lobster roll. As a midwesterner it did stand out to me that Archie's offered different style of lobster roll so you can have it how you liked we like hot butter lobster roll so we stuck with that. The chowder also hit the spot. read more

Very family friendly with lots of outside and inside spaces and seating options. Fast service and delicious lobster. We will be back!

Stopped for dinner before heading to the lighthouse for the sunset. Got the fish n chips, lobster bisque and onion rings. Fish n chips were very good, with a larger serving of French fries. They don't make their own tartar sauce. Lobster bisque was some of the best I have ever had and came out scalding hot, which is a big plus in my book. Onion rings were kinda like onion rings straws and delicious. More than enough food to feed 2 of us and reasonably priced. Outdoor seating overlooking the water. read more

Loved it. Best place we ate in Maine. Great service. Immaculate vibes. We will be back!!!

Fantastic food. We had two hot Lobster rolls and a cold with Mayo, clam chowder and onion rings. Everything was superb. Crispy onion rings (the slivered kind which I like best). Clam chowder was great with tons of clams and a good amount of potatoes. The lobster rolls were gigantic. The biggest I have ever had and the same price as pretty much anyone else on the island this summer ($30). Great local beers offered (Lone Pine). We had Summer Lights (great citrus hops, but not too bitter). The rest of our group had the Blueberry Ale from Atlantic Brewing which was really good read more

This place was our first stop in Maine for lobster rolls and we were impressed. Matter a fact, I was not considering to write a review. But my decision changed after trying lobster rolls at least at five other places in Maine and after comparing, Archie's Lobster was the best, hands down. We had the hot lobster rolls which were cooked in butter. The rolls were fresh, tasty, and did not have the "too buttery" taste. It was perfect. Thanks Archie's Lobster. read more

Very casual, open air. Music was great, food was great. Orders were delivered fairly quick. Kids had lots of room to roam.

We had a lovely dinner at Archie's Lobster today. The sun was starting to set and the setting was picturesque. Fried haddock, clams, fries, onions rings, and a lobster bisque were all delicious, hot, and served with a smile. Second time and Archie's and will return for more. read more

Food was terrific. Had lobster rolls with butter, onion rings with spicy sauce, and lobster bisque, Lobster rolls were warm, generously coated with butter, but not sodden and turning the roll to mush as some I've had on the island. Onion rings were the shoestring variety and hit the spot. Bisque was hot and flavorful and served with oyster crackers. We sat outside overlooking the shore. Picture perfect. May be my new favorite lobster spot. read more

Oh wow, this place near Bar Harbor was dreamy. Lobster rolls were expensive here, but we were told that these were about average price-wise. But flavor-wise, it looked like a whole lobster was on the roll. I've had people tell me they've never seen a lobster roll that had that much lobster on it. It was perfect. And the view alone was worth it. read more

Delicious food. Very fresh lobster with a simple coating of salted butter on a toasted hot dog bun. Huge chucks of lobster. Bisque, chowder, fries, onion rings, and pie - all great. We loved sitting outside overlooking the bay. Casual and perfect for us. read more

So good! Our first butter lobster roll of the trip and it was perfect. The lobster was sweet and not chewy with tons of claw meat. Pretty large portion for the price, I thought. The lobster bisque was decadent might be the best bisque I've ever had. This place has great views and ample seating on picnic tables outside and a covered patio and a covered barn. Staff was super helpful and nice and even gave us recommendations on places to see in the area. Don't pass up Archie's! read more

I was happy to return after a delicious meal in 2021. The outdoor seating is lovely and we were able to bring our puppy. This year I got a hot buttered lobster roll packed with lobster and a side of corn. The corn was dried out, but it was only a half hour until closing so I guess that is why. I didn't protest because I was pretty full from the lobster anyways. Lobster was fresh and delicious! View is so pretty. Very friendly staff. I got a clam chowder to go, because I knew I would be hungry after the hour drive to where I was staying... it was delicious, not overly creamy like some. Can't wait to visit again. read more

Archie's was excellent in every way! We were greeted as we approached the counter and immediately felt welcomed. We ordered a hot lobster roll. The lobster was sautéed in butter and the roll was toasted. All perfect, with a lot of lobster meat! In addition to that, we selected lobster bisque, New England clam chowder and seasoned French fries. After paying for our dinner, we selected a table by the water and within minutes our meal was delivered to our table. The food and customer service here went above and beyond! The view of the harbor and the live music was really nice as well! We highly recommend this place! read more

So many good things about this place, but I'll start with the staff -- really nice and super helpful. Fish and chips were very good; slaw was excellent, and the blueberry pie was the best we've had on this trip. Great location at the top of Bass Harbor with a view of the harbor going out to the sea and they've done a nice job sprucing up a quasi-industrial location. From the old photos at the order desk (don't forget to look down) it seems like the site used to be a sardine cannery; now they've put out a variety of seating options, -- picnic tables, outdoor dining sets, and a sofa and chairs on an outdoor rug. Lobster traps help shape the space, there's corn hole, and a mural of lupins on the side of one of the buildings. They've got a sheltered set up in case of rain; hope they can add heaters at some point for when it's chilly out. read more

Seaside dinning on local, fresh, delicious food. Prices were reasonable for the area, roll wasn''t "authentic" Maine, and since I prefer mine with butter over mayo it didn't hold up well, but it was good. As for lobster....it was packed! Dog friendly, too! read more

The seafood at Archie's Lobster in Bass Harbor is delicious and comes out fast. I had steamers one time, that were very clean. The other two times I had a lobster roll! Both were so full of meat that I used a fork first! One friend had the quesadillas that were great and another had a crabmeat roll that was also full of crabmeat! There are no negatives.... great service, smiling and friendly staff, delicious food and wonderful atmosphere, on the "quietside" of MDI. 10 stars out of 10! My third year of going to Archie's and will go there again next year two or three times!! PM read more

The food at Archie's Lobster was AWESOME. The lobster roll with butter was so good, large pieces of meat and 3 claws. The chowder was probably the BEST I ever had, and the blueberry pie was a great way to finish our meal. It was a beautiful summer day to sit outside and look out over the water. read more

I went here because of a Reddit post saying that this is where locals eat lobster around Bar Harbor. I was not disappointed. This place was everything I hoped for when I visited Maine: simple, perfectly cooked lobster on a roll with a light coat of butter. Add on great service, very reasonable prices, and a top dollar setting and you've got a winner. There's not much more to say than that! Try this place if you are in the area. read more

Wonderful service! Amazing food- everything was delicious! Easy to bring kids and lots of room for them to run around.

Husband and I stumbled across the Maine gem and it was fate at work! This goes down as literally the best meal I have had jn my life. No joke. We had the warm butter lobster roll, lobster grilled cheese and blueberry soda. Family owned, everyone was so welcoming, ambiance was A+++ and food was TO DIE FOR!! I will never be able to eat a lobster roll back home (California) ever again. If you are one of the lucky people to have access to eating here, do not miss out! read more

Delicious lobster rolls and vibin atmosphere. Staff were all super friendly and helpful. If you're with a big group this place is perfect for you.

I am not sure where the fault lies, so I am giving a one start to both Yelp and Archie's. We visited Maine this last weekend and decided to drive from Bar Harbor to Archie's based on the reviews AND that Yelp showed it was open. We drove the the 20+ minutes only to find out they are closed temporarily. I am fine with it being closed for the season, but someone needs to be sure the data on Yelp is kept current so time isn't wasted on a drive for a place that is closed. You really had to search the internet to find that it was closed. Disappointed in both Yelp and Archie's. read more
