    Restaurant is behind the Sunoco station
    Brian H.

    Food was excellent and the service was fairly quick. Jerk chicken mac&cheese was amazing and the burger was handmade and cooked perfectly on a toasted bun. Tip, when ordering the burger ask for toppings and condiments otherwise it comes plain. As the name states this is mostly takeout. They do have 4 picnic tables available under a canopy outside. The blueberry pie was superb, in fact it was so good I forgot to take a picture. This is a must restaurant when in the Bar Harbor area.

    The Food 11/10 GREAT food the chicken literally falls off the bone and has great flavor, they have salads burgers chicken and more! Service 10/10 The workers are incredibly nice (Especially Janice) they have great wait time (less than15 mins) and you can get it to go or to eat in. Ambiance 10/10 They have a forest area with handmade wood stools and logs. They have tents, picnic tables, lawn chairs, and a gas station right next for a bathroom. Overall a great experience and one of the best foods I've ever had! If I could I would give 6/5 stars

    Lobster Mac and cheese

    Small business behind a gas station. Ordered lobster roll and lobster Mac and cheese. Each costs $30. Prefer the roll as it was nicely seasoned.

    We arrived in the area after a long drive, hungry and too tired to cook. Island Take Out to the rescue! This is a small place tucked behind the Sunoco gas station (we actually drove past it the first time). No frills inside, you can order to eat there or take your food to go. The kitchen was bustling but the person takinf our order was polite and quick. There is no indoor seating but they do have outdoor seating in the form of 4 picnic tables under a tent--this was the such a peaceful place to relax on a warm summer evening while waiting for our food. I'd estimate the wait was about 25 minutes, so call ahead to order unless you have some time to spare. This is not really a quick grab-n-go type of place. Now, on to the food! My family ordered the fish nuggets, pulled pork sandwich, and kids chicken tenders. Everything was good and the pork was especially flavorful. I noticed on the menu they have authentic jerk wings, so I'm 100% going back for those.

    Haddock sandwich, fries, wings, Lunch beer

    Went here for dinner this evening and it was absolutely fantastic. First, do not let the location scare you. Yes, it is behind a Sunoco gas station at a busy intersection but that wasn't a big deal for us. There are 6 picnic tables under a pop up and you can always get it to go. They had a couple beers on tap including an excellent Orono/Wymer's blueberry ale. They also have Maine Beer Co Lunch in a bottle. Yum! Our party had the fish and chips, blackened haddock sandwich (x2) and chicken tenders (kid). We also ordered the jerk chicken wings. The absolute standouts were the blackened haddock and the jerk chicken wings. The haddock was super flavorful with just the right amount of spice as were the chicken wings. Just be aware that the chicken wings need to be prepared from scratch and will come out with the main meal. The fish and tenders were also good just not as great as the others. But still solid. Everything came with fries (there were other options but didn't seriously consider). The fries were great too. Perfectly cooked. We also grabbed a piece of blueberry pie to eat back at the house. That was obviously made by someone else but still tasty. Verdict from the family: Best meal we've had so far in Maine. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. If we had more time in the area, we'd definitely be going back again.

    Unassuming lil take with tables and gluten free rolls!! Owners are super cool Food was amazing blacken fish an shrimp po'boy Must try for welll.... All Takes time be patient you'll love it Oh and try the South Africa wine

    jerk chicken

    Camping in Acadia, arrived late afternoon and wanted a quick bite. I had jerk chicken sandwich. There was like one other person and I got my sandwich and fries in like 5 minutes. It was really good. Perfect fries - thin, freshly fried food.. and the sandwich was amazing. Toasted, and topped with fresh tomatoes and lettuce. and the chicken was juicy and sauce amazing. It was juicy and crunchy at the same time. kind of hard to find in the back. I will definitely stop here for a meal on the way out.

    Lobster Roll

    We were so happy to find Island Take Out! Their lobster roll was a highlight of our trip - the roll toasted and buttered on all sides and the lobster was delicious. We got a side of Mac and cheese that was great as well. The man that took our order and prepared the food was very nice and friendly. Note that the restaurant is on the back of the gas station. There are nice picnic tables for seating outside. Look forward to going back!

    When you travel to Maine you don't automatically think that you will find great chicken jerk, but we did. If you want a break from sea food (they do have lobster) this is a great place go. Nice people and good food.

    Mac and cheese

    The flavors were amazing! This small spot is located behind a gas station. We enjoyed our lunch at the picnic tables. The jerk chicken, mac and cheese with jerk chicken, fish sandwich and oh the buttered the lobster roll were each excellent. Thanks for a great meal!

I had the burger special which was fucking fantastic! I was getting pretty tired of seafood at this point and it was the most refreshing change of pace. It was one of those just in time food experiences. C went for the crab cakes. What a gorgeous version of crab cakes they were! Fancy pants presentation and all things considered some of the best crab cakes we had on our trip. Bartender was really friendly and was super proud of their whiskey/bourbon collection. He did point out a few bottles to us that were really quite special and hard to come across. They had some Penelope variants that were unseen to me. I would come back in a heartbeat.

We requested to sit by the window to have my birthday lunch and loved watching the sun set over the water. This is in a prime spot right by the wharf and has a gorgeous view of the water by the windows, but has a great bar and more seating in the back. Menu is huge with sandwiches, fish, pizzas, salads, etc. We went with the warmed brown butter lobster roll and a margarita pizza add sausage. My husband is a pizza guy - has it like 5x a week - so he's picky. He loved this pizza and said it was really top tier. I also thought it was very good - crust and toppings all great and cooked well. Sometimes margarita pizzas are runny due to less cheese/sauce ratio but this one was good and crust was yummy. The lobster roll was a different way to have it - I usually have it in the mayonnaise sauce chilled, this one was warmed up with brown butter on a delicious bun. Very good. They have 3 different lobster rolls on the menu to satisfy whatever the craving/need. For desset - we chose the chocolate death parfait. It was SO good. Not something I would usually get bc it was so heavy - but we were in town for my birthday so, treat yo self! Layers of chocolate cake, dense white marscapone cream and chocolate mousse with caramel and toffee chunks. Yeah, sign me up for that. Don't forget to visit their gift shop directly underneath and off to the side - it's huge! It actually has far more than the standard cup and t-shirt or hat. Expect loads of gifts and souvenirs and some awesome t-shirts. We got more than a few things in this surprise shop. 100% recommend this place.

This spot is cozy and quaint and full of friendly local staff members. It was Kentucky Derby day and a lot of folks we were watching it as we walked in, ambiance was jovial and loud. Greeted immediately by the hostess and bartender and waited a short while for a table to open up. I ordered the chicken sandwich and my husband ordered the Reuben. He is Jewish and loves Reubens, gets them all the time. He said this one was really, really good. Great texture to the meat. Now, my Chicken Sandwich - was the best I've ever had in my life. I told my husband, I will be holding any and all future chicken sandwiches up to this one as the benchmark. The breaded chicken breast was huge and delicious quality white meat. It was dipped in buffalo sauce, and had fresh slaw, pickles, tomato and blue cheese sauce. It was DECADENT and it really hit the spot for me after a long day. I could not stop eating it. YUMMMM. Oh, we also ordered the pub fries - loaded with aioli and cheese and greens. Fries were delish but a bit too much aioli for our taste. Still, wonderful! Huge portion. Overall, food was yummy, out quickly, service was great and we loved the vibes. Easily a fav for us on this trip and we'll be looking forward to coming back again some day!
