This is a wonderful restaurant to enjoy while visiting the Maine coast! It's beautifully decorated inside and out with the local flair of the lobster trade. The view out the windows is breathtaking, while the food and service are just as impressive. We had a small party and started with tasty fried calamari and cheese curds. Local Bangor Beer's Disco Sasquatch and Orono Brewing's Wicked Blueberry Ale were wonderful, along with Blueberry Soda. 3 of us had the delicious Lobster Rolls because it was our first visit to Maine, and that was a "requirement", lol. The others had the steak and cheese sandwich and the fried haddock meals. They were wonderful too. Our server, Ceanna, took fantastic care of all of us, and deserves a raise. I even made sure to buy a t shirt before I left. We will surely be back when we return to this heavenly place on earth. read more

This is a charming spot, beautifully decorated with colorful lobster buoys inside. We stopped in for lunch and were lucky to get a window seat with a great view of the harbor. We ordered both the lobster and crab rolls, and really enjoyed them -- the seafood was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly complemented by the buttery, toasted buns. read more

My friend and I ate here yesterday for lunch as we were looking for somewhere to eat that had a good view and local food. Bunker has a one page menu filled with your typical Maine coastal fare---lobster rolls, fried seafood, class, oysters, steak tips, pasta, and burgers. We both decided to go with their hamburgers as we read positive reviews. They definitely did not disappoint and were cooked to order. I forgot to snap a picture of the view but they have scenic views of the water as they sit right next to it so you can watch the lobster boats. read more

We were in the mood for some raw oysters. Wanted to go to Ironbound first but they only do dinner. Once we got to bunkers we were pleased by the nice view. Service was great. We ordered seafood Alfredo, captains platter, two dozen oysters, steamed and fried clams. Lots of food. Everything was delicious but was disappointed at the size of the oyster especially with the price we paid. read more

Our lunch was absolutely delicious .. simple and memorable. The kind of seafood I remember as a kid .. yet even better. (Isn't the live thing even better than the memory?) Crab roll, onion strings, Cole slaw and a dark stout (well, that last I didn't have as a kid). All were tops. So we went for dessert (it was my birthday). Chocolate cake but more like chocolate mound of paradise. Our waitress was sweet and attentive. The restaurant is comfortable, clean, friendly. Great view of the harbor. Two pristine bathrooms. Three thumbs up here. read more

We ate at Bunker's a week before they closed for the season. The place was unassuming from the outside. The inside was fixed up so cute and the VIEW of the Harbor was beautiful. Our server was very friendly and gave us a brief history of the restaurant. It was closed for 5 years, and this was the first year it's been back open under new owners. The food was AMAZING and so much more affordable than on the main island near Bar Harbor. We decided they have the best blueberry pie we'd tasted on our trip to Maine. Definitely stop in and you won't be disappointed! read more

I had high hopes for this cute restaurant on the Harbor. But I was sadly disappointed. The fish sandwich that I received had a small tail piece about a quarter of an inch thick for $22. Then one piece of lettuce, pickles, and tomato all were an extra charge. I'm surprised they didn't charge extra for the bun! Switching a house salad instead of fries was on a 4 inch cup saucer. I asked for no onions but got onions. The crab roll was so salty, almost not edible. The waitress made everything worse with dismissive comments and endless mistakes. This was a $70 exercise in frustration and dissatisfaction, when it should have been a pleasant lunch for 2. read more

We made reservations 6 weeks in advance to celebrate an 80th birthday specifically to get a lobster dinner. It was a Thursday night and at 6pm they were out of lobsters. AND they had no pasta dishes at all. The fried foods had absolutely no seasoning at all- just a breading. The waitress was great but it doesn't make up for the huge disappointment of not getting lobster or pasta. read more

Very friendly staff and quick service. Amazing views. Reasonable pricing - a great stop for lunch after a day in the park.

Don't sleep on this little fishing town and great dining spot! Be mindful of the earlier closing time. We arrived around 7p as a party of two and were quickly seated by an employee. We can't come to Maine and not get lobster so we ordered the lobster roll and caesar salad with lobster. Both were phenomenal and arrived in a very timely Manner! This place was recommended by our B+B host and we were not disappointed! read more

The food is excellent and the portions will have you taking leftovers without a doubt. Their seasonal drinks are good and their blueberry pie is phenomenal. They close for the winter but visiting this place is a must for anyone wanting fresh seafood. read more

An AMAZING seafood restaurant in a National Park?!?!?! WHAT?!?! It's true. We rode our bikes through the Schoodic peninsula and stopped in here at the recommendation of our ferry boat team (thanks, Linda and Dan!). We were NOT disappointed. Friendly staff, great waterside seating--right on the harbor! Kids raved about the chicken alfredo but 3 of us split the lobster, crab and special of the day clam roll--all delicious. Splurge for the onion rings! Good beer selection too. Seriously a hidden gem of the area. So glad we found them!!! read more

We came here after hiking up to Schoodic Head Overlook (Bunker Seafood is only two minutes from the Blueberry Hill parking area), and it couldn't have been more perfect. In the quiet, less crowded peninsula of Acadia National Park, Bunker is the epitome of ending a great day with a great meal. Service was fantastic, views out into the cove from our table were mesmerizing, and food was delicious. Could not recommend enough! read more

Stopped here for lunch. Our waitress was amazing! She was the niece of the owner. The food was really good! My husband got the steak and cheese sandwich. He couldn't even finish it. It was amazing and a healthy portion. I had the cob salad with lobster. Sitting outside on the water was a plus! read more

Holy smokes! What a great lobster roll! These guys put Becky's in Portland to shame. The atmosphere is great, location is great right on the water, and the service was spectacular. Definitely a nice change of pace from the touristy prices you see in Bar Harbor. read more

As soon as we walked in and said we had a reservation the little blonde hostess looks at us, shakes her head and says "no you don't". Lol. We said yes, we do -- and upon checking her landline phone she confirms that yes, we did in fact. It took about 20 minutes for the waitress to get us our drinks, and about 30 for someone to take our order. After an hour after our order being taken we asked a server to check on our food. She then proceeded to make fun of us to the other servers. We then told them that we'd pay for what we got and they can just cancel the rest of our food. Our server insisted we stay, so we did, because we did not want to be difficult. We were all starving so we ate the food when it came eventually, but it was not good. The staff clearly needs a refresher on basic decency and kindness. Crazy thing is, we're not even tourists. Will never be back. read more

I had the scallops and they were delicious. Generous portions. The onion rings are the best around. And the view isn't bad either. One of my favorite places to relax and enjoy. The owners are awesome. read more

Great service and view of a lobster fishing village. Portions seemed to be small relative to price!

How can a place famous for lobster dinners run out of them by 6:00pm? And they were out of any pasta dish! After trying to find something to eat, they had the audacity to charge a $25 corking fee for each bottle of wine we brought with us. We brought wine because their selection was limited. Good grief that corking fee was higher than most restaurants including high end places. The bright note was our waitress was incredible and the view was awesome. read more

The wife is on a lobster killing spree, the third place we have went to. Lobster was perfect her sides were huge. I had a fried fish dinner that was amazing. Two pieces of lightly breaded fish covered the plate. Great view Oh yah had key lime cheese cake that was pretty tasty read more

The food was good. Get a first mate or captain's platter. Share with the table. All the servers were kind and friendly.

Amazing ambience in this restaurant and bar on the water. The wood interior created a homey feel. The service was simply stellar without being obsequious. Our party of four had a lunch with portions that were far bigger than we expected. The hamburgers were delicious and perfectly cooked. The coleslaw side is highly recommended. Just the right balance of creamy and crunchy. The lobster roll was simply perfect - huge, creamy and well seasoned. One of our party got the side of onions rings which were slightly spicy and delicious. The salad was huge and had a nice mix of different lettuces, tomatoes, and croutons. Do not miss this hidden gem when in the Acadia National Park area. read more

We were looking for a casual restaurant on Schoodic Peninsula while visiting Acadia National Park. We asked a local police officer and he said there was a new place that was all the rave! We decided to try it and we came to Bunkers. We got a lobster roll and the 1st mate with shrimp and scallops. So often fried food is heavily breaded and there is no meat in the breading. Not the case here! Large scallops and great tasting shrimp! The lobster roll was good with solid flavor! Was told the lobster and shrimp cam out of the bay that morning! Highly recommend! read more

Stopped here randomly and so glad we did! Apparently they just reopened a few days ago which worked out great for us. The services was friendly and quick. The location is convenient to Schoodic point and the restaurant views are stunning. The restaurant is clean and inviting and there is also a bar area that looked super cute. And most importantly the food was really tasty! We tried the fried cheese curds, lobster roll and steak and cheese sandwich and we enjoyed it all! Definitely stop by if you're in the area!! read more

Great fresh food and excellent service. The crab roll was on point as was the seafood Alfredo. Plenty seafood with large portions.

Very busy. Lots of locals. Delicious food. Great portions. Very reasonable prices. Nice and casual. Very worth the ride from Ellsworth and route one.
