    The Hot Dog Cart - Lobster roll that I took across the street and ate on a bench facing the water!

    After doing our morning hikes in Schoodic Peninsula, we came to the Hot Dog Cart for lunch. The…read moreelderly gentleman in front was so cute. He was very enthusiastic about his job and he was wearing a lobster hat. They are only opened from 11am-3pm. You are handed a slip to fill out to order, so we checked off the Fresh Lobster Roll with Lemon Mayo; 2 Quarter Pound All Beef Hotdogs, one with Hawaiian relish and sauerkraut, and the other with chili and cheddar cheese; and a Fried Haddock Sandwich. All the lobster rolls contain quarter pound lobster for $21.99. The lobster I've tried in Acadia have all been good. I preferred the beef hotdog with Hawaiian relish and sauerkraut, over the chilli with cheese. The cheese was not melted over the chili. Fried haddock was okay.

    What a great little place to get a fresh lobster roll in the town of Winter Harbor. On Google it…read moreshows that the location is closed, but they are not. The same man Don, who is mentioned in reviews from two years ago is still there taking your order and wearing his lobster hat. You order at a walk up counter outside and take a seat also outside until they call your name. They are set up on the corner in front of what used to be another restaurant that is actually closed. I went inside to use the restroom and wash my hands, but the inside is all shut down and pretty smelly. There are a lot of tables undercover and also in the sun where you can sit and enjoy your lobster roll or hotdog. They also have blueberry pie and blueberry bread pudding, which I did not try but looked delicious. My friend got a fresh squeeze lemonade that she enjoyed, I had the fresh brew iced tea, which probably needed a Splenda, but I don't think they had any. If you like unsweetened tea, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Overall everyone who worked there was very friendly, especially Don who takes your orders.

Staff is lovely and even they embody some of that southern charm. We got the full rack of ribs and the Mixed Platter to really sample everything they have. All delicious - wonderfully seasoned, perfectly grilled, my ribs literally fell off the bone, sides are all 100%, what more can I say? Having never been to Bar Harbor before this was a really pleasant surprise from the general seafood / American-cuisine vibe from the rest of the area.

It's a rustic setting with a cool outside seating space. Next door is an ice cream shop and across the road is mini golf. We make an evening of it! The restaurants sits on the north side of the island about 15 minutes from Bar Harbor. If you like BBQ this is your place on the island. We love it and the fact that you can try a sampling of most of their offerings. Each table usually has a variety of sauces. I really enjoy their mac n cheese and baked bean sides . I love their ribs and enjoy most other offerings. Best of all the price is fairly reasonable, a phrase seldom said on MDI, at around $20-$25 per person. While I love seafood sometimes you need to take a break from the lobstah and add some beef/pork/chicken to your diet. Enjoy!
