    Lobster Poutine
    Fran D.

    We found this new gem near our Airbnb in Trenton. It's a huge space. You can sit downstairs or upstairs where there is a bar. It was quiet when we arrived at 2:30pm for a late lunch. You order at the window and they run your food to you wherever you decide to sit. We decided to sit upstairs at the open bar area and ordered one drink. The waitress was very friendly and even shared some Acadia hiking tips. For food I ordered the lobster poutine. I have never had anything so decadent! It arrived hot and fresh with French fries, lobster, Brie, sour cream and chives in a delicious lobster cream sauce. This was one of the best dishes I had while in Maine. My friend had the summer pasta and loved it! Both dishes were generous portions as well!

    Very informal dining but good food! The lobster poutine was great! It was really windy the day we ate here so we sat inside downstairs. The upstairs dining area would be really nice on a warm

    Lobster roll

    The hot lobster roll was good, we had to go up to the bar each time we needed more to drink. The food was good but service needed help!!

    Mastodon Lobster Roll

    We got the mastadon lobster roll, it was our third lobster roll of the day and was the tastiest one and was HUGE. We met the owner Adam and he's a great guy. Highly recommended! Also incredible sweet potato fries!

    Mexican Food in Maine? Absolutely!…read more We found this amazing Mexican spot right in the middle of downtown Bar Harbor, and let me tell you the location couldn't be better! Families were walking by, live music was playing across the street, and people were sitting barefoot on the grass trying to stay grounded. Meanwhile, we were being spiritually guided by the smell of Mexican food coming from Salsa Verde Grill. It pulled us in like a tractor beam! We started with the fresh guacamole, blue corn chips, and their Christmas sauce a combination of red and green sauce. Oh man Christmas came early! That sauce was so good I almost asked for it in a cup with a straw. My wife ordered the steak burrito, and it was so big she couldn't finish it. Imagine that! I ordered the enchiladas topped with a fried egg, refried beans, and rice. Oh boy, I was stuffed but somehow kept eating like I was training for the Mexican Food Olympics. Our daughter ordered the same thing as Dad, but hers was smothered in that delicious holiday sauce. She couldn't finish hers either. My wife and daughter are a couple of wimps! Or maybe I'm just a big-backed roly-poly with no quit in me. The food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the atmosphere was perfect. We absolutely recommend Salsa Verde Grill when visiting Bar Harbor. Come hungry, wear stretchy pants, and don't blame me when that Christmas sauce has you licking the plate. Bye-bye now!

We didn't know that savory crepes were a thing and we now love them! Also, it comes with a side salad, which was an added bonus. We went here before our whale watching cruise, so we ended up getting our food to go and ate it on the boat. We also got a blueberry muffin and blueberry scone which were wonderful! Highly recommend stopping in!

The staff just doesn't acknowledge you as a customer until they are ready to take your order. I expected better. We were going on a whale watch tour next door and wanted to get some good food to take with us...we would be disappointed. I paid $15 for the smoked salmon bagel and it was horrible. Couldn't even taste the salmon let alone the smoke. It was mostly onions and tasted of onions and cream cheese more than anything. My coffee was $4 and lacked complexity, refills were $1. The blueberry muffin was gluten-free and for all of the stuff we got with blueberries in it while in Maine, these did not taste fresh or local. The English muffin was the worst thing...maybe it was the gluten free bun, maybe it was the toppings...just not great. The one that that was good was the Choco boom. It was like a breakfast chocolate milkshake. All this cost $50 so once you add in a tip which it defaults to 25, 20, and 18 as your options, it's a $60 breakfast that wasn't as good as a hotel breakfast. The inside of the store is super small, I'm assuming most people want to eat outside and look at the bay. But the inside is so small even with the short line (2-3 people in front of us) the layout was very awkward and people were getting mixed up where the line was supposed to go. I'll skip this place next visit to Bar Harbor.

We showed up on a Saturday at 5 o'clock end of August and got right in at Annex which is the same menu and attached. Waiters were helpful and kind, amazing people! Live music was going on at 7 but we left right before, awesome vibes doors to the outside open so it was basically an open air concept since it was a beautiful day. Clam chowder: super delicious and passed the spoon test! (I like my chowders thick so a spoon should float on top) Bangin Shrimp: seasoning and sauce were bangin! Great stuff and the buttery grilled flamed pita added a beautiful touch Cadillac fries: crispy fries with melty cheese, hot sauce, bbq sauce, chipotle mayo and toooed with bacon. We inhaled these. Mac + rac: fall off the bone rips and the Mac was killer. Mixed in with street corn added a great change up and all went so well together. Larger shells cooked perfectly and super cheesy, this was a great dish. Highly recommend, wish I could have tried the Blueberry Pie because that looks insane, was way too full after crushing the other dishes and washed down with a blueberry beer and an extra dirty martini!

    We didn't have a bad bite... is a gross understatement. Just amazing food and unique flavor…read moreprofiles for the usual BH spots. Off the beaten tourist path and open year round, PP lives up to the reviews and hype. We made a mistake our first night in Bar Harbor going to a tourist trap and getting a rubbery lobster roll and sad chowder. I did a bit of research online and found Peekytoe and was SO glad for it. While you don't get a water view, but a cute walk down the main drag, it is WELL worth the excursion AND HOW. My husband said his Crabby Patty was the best crab cake sandwich he ever had. I agreed in as I had the cake as an app. I also got a Halibut dish with pickled fiddleheads (a local green I might liken to okra for lack of other reference) and blistered tomatoes. It was moist, well cooked fish, amazing sides with phenomenal heightening elements. We also enjoyed our cocktails immensely. GO if you are a foodie and don't want a lame wannabe roll with some kids grilled cheese sides, DO this spot. SO well worth it. PS to manament - I know you do a brunch. MAKE SURE YOU DO A CRABCAKE BENEDICT. Your crab cakes are divine and with a slight seared crunch. Ideal. You can even do a lemon-fiddlehead or blistered tomato HOLLANDAISE. I'd be IN IN as I am sure most people would. The vinegary elements from the fiddleheads to (I think) my husband's pickled onion atop his crabby patty MADE the CRABCAKES THE STAR.
