Literally the best thing I have eaten in my entire life. We got a big lobster roll and some lobster Mac. Was hesitant about paying $48 for one sandwich but it was so worth it. I was on a high all day from how good the food was. read more

Food was very good and very fresh, service was great, location is very small, the only real complaint I have is the lobster was cold. It was very good though. It was also quick expensive. read more

Absolutely amazing. Had the sampler and now I just want more of everything. Best thing we've eaten in Bar Harbor! read more

This is a must stop when you are in Bar Harbor, Maine. You know it's going to be good when you see 20 people in line waiting to place their takout order. Although it was a long line, it didn't take too long to get to the order counter. They give you a buzzer to tell you when your order is ready. They have no inside seating but there is a park across the street with plenty of benches. The Lobster Rolls were fantastic. You can tell the Lobster is fresh. They have both hot and cold rolls with different flavored sauces. Highly recommended. read more

What to.do in Bar Harbor Maine? Eat lobster of course! Frenchman Bay Lobster is a tiny storefront with just enough room to go in and place your order. You're given a buzzer to take outside to notify you when your order is ready. I ordered the the classic roll with mayo & lettuce & my husband got the hot roll with melted butter, both smalls. Well the lobster certainly wasn't small. It was an extremely generous portion of delicious fresh lobster. I picked off 4 or 5 nice pieces before even biting into the the sandwich. The roll was nicely toasted & fresh. The mayo & lettuce were minimal allowing the sweet taste of the lobster to shine. I want another one just thinking about it! It's also served with a bag of chips that I munched on later. They offer nice blankets to borrow to take across the street to sit on in the park. I thought that was a nice touch. Good service and great food. 2025-78 read more

Hands down, this is THE best place to indulge and enjoy a delicious lobster rol coupled with quite the breathtaking view! The hot roll is an absolute must! The white mac and cheese is another fan favorite! I mean, for my one-year-old to have loved, that speaks volume! And they offer a blanked for your picnic with a view? Stop it! Why must you spoil us? Keep in mind this is not a restaurant where they can sit indoors/outdoors. The space is tiny and you're only meant to order and pickup. But there's nothing wrong with that. Grab one of their blankets and have yourself a nice little picnic. This is truly a core memory for my little fam. read more

Holy lobster mac & cheese! I know that most people come here to get the lobster rolls, but after splurging and having a lobster roll pretty much every day while I was in Maine, I wanted to switch things up. So for a late lunch, I decided to try the decadent lobster and white cheddar mac & cheese. This was the epitome of comfort food and luxury decadence. I appreciated that it was white cheddar mac & cheese and none of that artificial orange stuff. They piled the piping hot fresh lobster meat on top and I took my dish across the street and enjoyed it in the park. So if you are craving lobster, but want to switch it up from the traditional lobster roll, I cannot recommend the lobster mac & cheese enough. This is a take away spot, so there is no in-house dining, but the service was extremely fast and friendly. read more

It's a small take out place with a great seafood. You can get food and eat in front of it on the grass. Service was quick and helpful. You order and they give you a little beeper and you just wait your turn. Place is time and has New England vibe. We had lobster bisque, clam chowder and a small lobster roll. We enjoyed all the food very much. Definitely a great place to go. You can choose a size of a lobster roll, so if you don't want a large one, you can have just a small snack. Great place in a great location. read more

Quite literally the best lobster bisque I have ever had in my life!! This spot is right next to the water, and next to a little park/hill that is perfect for a picnic especially since this tiny shop is takeout only (no seats inside). We got there about 12/12:30pm on a Saturday and there was no line, but by the time we left downtown Bar Harbor an hour later there was a line out the door! What I loved about the lobster bisque is that it was perfectly creamy, with a good balance of sherry, cream, butter, and lobster. They even had huge chunks of FRESH lobster! I'm just used to the lobster bisque that has little to no lobster, but the fact that I found 3 lobster claws in my bisque felt like I hit a jackpot. A must go for lobster bisque! They also sell lobster rolls which we didn't get to try. Clam chowder is pretty decent as well, but the lobster bisque was definitely the star of the show. read more

Let me just say I have been in bar harbor for a week and have been disappointed by the food so far but that ended today when I got this amazing lobster roll. We all got the hot roll which is chock full of chopped meat and doused in hot butter. The meat was just perfect and what I have been looking for all week. The bun did split at the bottom because of all the butter but honestly, it was so good I didn't care. Plus, they have a basket of blankets for you to borrow and sit on the green right across the street. One friend did get Mac and cheese which, was bland and not very hot. So I'd say stick with the lobster! read more

After tasting the various lobster rolls and clam chowders in Bar Harbor~ this was the tastiest by far!! The Hot roll was overflowing with chunks of lobster. The clam chowder had so many clams; I could taste the brine. There is no seating. Take this opportunity for a picnic across the street. We had a beautiful view of the harbor. Would come back on a return trip to Bar Harbor. read more

What can I say but ... AMAZING! This small establishment is easy to miss, but worth the find. When you walk inside, there is little room to stand given it's small size ... and the number of people waiting. And once it was my turn to order, I was greeted with an incredible amount of positivity. I think she asked ... "How can I bring joy to your life?". Wow! What a way to take someone's order. So warm and kind. I proceeded to order a 4oz Hot Roll (with butter) and my daughter got the 2oz Hot Roll. While placing my order, I noticed on the counter there were some blueberry treats. Upon further inspection, they turned out to be blueberry whoopie pies. Oh My! And when I asked about them, I was told they were made fresh that morning. Double oh my! And that was all I needed to hear ... as I added one to my order. When the food arrived, I took my box of goodies to the park across the street, found a nice bench, and proceeded to dig in. What an amazing lobster roll. So fresh! It was devoured in minutes. As we paused to reflect on the euphoric experience, we momentarily forgot about the whoopie pie. And then we saw it. It was time. WOW! Fresh. Full of cream (I mean really full). One of the best whoopie pies EVER!!! I HIGHLY recommend you try this place. Again, and again! read more

Absolutely blown away. For the 4oz Hot lobster roll and it was PACKED with big chunks of lobster. All the butter caused the roll to fall apart easily, so a fork is suggested, but it was the best lobster roll we've had on our trip up the New England coast. There was a decent line but it went by quick. No seats inside but there's a park across the street and benches by the shore. Highly recommend adding this place as a stop if you come through Bar Harbor. read more

We were on a cruise stop in Bar Harbor and of course we wanted to try the local lobster roll. Sure enough, this spot had a long line so we went and decided to buy in the hype. Well, this place did not disappoint. Wife got the hot roll, I got the slaw roll and my teenaged son a jumbo hotdog (I know, I know) and their plain mac and cheese. Anyway, the hot roll was quite tasty with the melted butter while the slaw roll was a step up from the classic roll (coleslaw instead of just lettuce), also delicious. The star of the show is definitely the lobster meat, big chunks of lobster that's as fresh as it could get. I'm pretty sure the lobster meat was not "processed" there since the spot looked pretty small but still, it didn't taste frozen and the meat was sweet and firm. Price was not cheap (market price) but for the quality of the lobster, it's spot on. It's in a touristy area but I didn't mind the price we paid. Now let's not forget the hotdog and mac and cheese. The hotdog was meaty and looked like it was grilled on a flat top. Definitely good quality. The mac and cheese was saucy and reminiscent of what you would get from Panera. In hindsight, we should've gotten the lobster version which would've elevated it. Overall it was an awesome experience. When we talk about Bar Harbor, this would be in the same conversation as the scenic Acadia National Park and Cadillac Mountain when reminiscing this part of our vacation. read more

Amazing place, (small) lobster roll was stuffed full of outstanding lobster... my wife and I decided to go for a traditional and warm offering and split, both were great, but I would give the "win" to the warm. The quality and quantity is excellent and the price is, well market for that time after all it is lobster. My only complaint is they were sold out of clam chowder, which I was hoping to try. The hours are tight but don't miss this Bar Harbor eatery it's really, really good. read more

Located in the crowded/touristy part of Bar Harbor. Ordered three of the lobster roll sandwiches for my fam. Pricey. Was super excited to have some fresh Maine lobster rolls, but once we began to eat, felt a little disappointed. Food wasn't bad, but neither was it great. We ended recruiting other members of the family who didn't even want any of the lobster to try to help us finish the rolls. They were large, but bland. I think we would try for a different approach to eating lobster next time. read more
