    Blueberry pie
    Victoria J.

    Picked up 4 lobsters and 2lbs of clams for ~$56, went back the next day to grab the blueberry pie. Very fresh and flavorful for what might be the best prices in Bar Harbor. Takeout only and uncooked, this should be your go-to place if you can cook at home! The blueberry pie was $25 and the best of 3 we tried in Bar Harbor, chock full of berries, perfect balance of sweetness, and not cut with too much flour (gives a pasty flavor). The crust is a bit thick but serves to contain the liquid! Family-owned, everyone we met at the counter was incredibly friendly and happy to chat and help.

    Super friendly guy working the counter! We had never cooled lobster before and didn't really know what we needed -- we got it all the ingredients from here including a pot they let us borrow for the night! Nick helped us pick out the right amount of lobster and wow was it so tasty! Really great prices for getting 6 lobster! Definitely come here if you're looking to cook some seafood at home! Bonus thing: very cute doggos that hangout there!

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.

Now if you are in search of seafood and/or lobster during a visit to Bar Harbor you could throw a stone in any direction and find numerous options. Some family recommended checking out this spot. Both my wife and I started out with a blueberry margarita that was fantastic. Then for food we both decided on the lobster tacos which comes with an order of two. They did not skimp on the lobster at all and this spot created such a tasty taco I would return for them. Granted the appetizer of a lobster poutine sounded delicious too! The ambiance and overall vibes is good, outside they have many picnic tables to enjoy the sights/sounds of Bar Harbor. Inside they have a couple different areas but a welcoming atmosphere overall. Despite the heat and the fact Bar Harbor is busy during the summer, service was quick as well as friendly. Had no complaints for our visit! Great first visit here!

We did get food to go, but our hotel was just steps away. So not a long journey from the restaurant to our room. We ordered the lobster nachos. It was not edible and they were so expensive. I was looking forward to getting some lobster, but didn't want a lobster roll and thought this would do it. First of all-- everything was mush. Not even soggy, but like all mush and disintegrated. I can deal with soggy-- it's take out so I don't have high expectations for fresh food. But the chips literally dissolved. There was also no cheese? I don't understand how you can have nachos with no cheese. Also, was advertised with sour cream and there was no sour cream. Lastly, I had lobster earlier today at a different restaurant. It tasted so fresh. This lobster was different. Almost like it was bad or even like a little gamey. I didn't eat but that one piece because I'm afraid I might get food poisoning-- something was just off. I'm not very hard to please and will eat pretty much anything from anywhere. The fact that I wouldn't eat the food (especially after paying $32) says a lot. I literally told my husband I would've rather had McDonald's Giving 2 stars only bc the guy on the phone who took our order was super nice.

My only request would be some overhead lighting in the place, needed a flashlight to see the food, but it was all presented so nicely, nothing to hide! I got the tenderloin. If you like lobster and steak, (which I do) the flavors were on point. I ordered medium rare and it was textbook. This has made the top 5 restaurant steaks on my list, and I've cooked, interviewed, and let's just say... been around. The chef should be quite satisfied The wine as we were told goes in order of dry to less. The Pinot noir from Oregon was absolutely perfect to pair. Best place in Bar Harbor so far (: Definitely save this one for last!

    Miss Elizabeth B (6/25 Review),…read more I appreciate the time you took to go scorched earth on your recent review of Table Salt in Bar Harbor, ME. It was a motivating factor to visit the establishment, enjoy a lovely meal in a lovely town, and tip heavily. You claim to be a culinary source of authority. I think it's great that you own a Subway franchise in New York City, but I might hesitate from throwing around the word 'chef' too haughtily. I mean just because one wears a cowboy hat does not mean one owns cattle, am I right? Perhaps there were dishes on the menu that one could argue were overengineered, but they tasted great! And consider that you have no idea where in the culinary journey their chef is, nor what the market needs or will bear in Bar Harbor. The place was packed. Service was great. Food was divine! On a Tuesday night. Maybe next time you visit a restaurant, leave your Michelin yardstick in the trunk of your broomstick, and simply relax. Or possibly return to Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop, another establishment you experienced through your Vantablack-colored glasses and blew up on this site. I'm sure they would zealously rent you another bike if you promised to venture into Acadia and get lost. Cheers!

In fact, after…read moresampling plenty of Maine blueberry items over the course of our vacation, this was by far the best one. I would go here just for the pie alone. The pie earns this place 5 stars by itself. We started with the maple sriracha wings and while a bit pricy...we are in Bar Harbor after all...they were excellent and I'd get them again as a starter. The girlfriend got a painkiller and it was substantially large and very tasty, she was very happy with it. I tried a sip and thought it was good as well. The brown butter lobster roll was good, but I would get the Maine next time--I had gotten Maine style the night before so I had to switch it up. The regular fries are OK but the sweet potato fries are out of this world. The gf again was please with the fish and chips which are gluten-free and really good, she was blown away by the portion size once again. Slaw was on point. The decor was very eclectic and it was funny because they have a painting of a naked woman on the wall and these three young boys eating dinner at the table under it couldn't stop looking at it and giggling, it was hilarious! Moose head on the wall like all proper Maine establishments. Service was by Travis and he did a top-notch job, I'd request a table from him again in the future. And I would come back here the first night I was in town.

As always not enough meat if you're only eating lobster. Corn was tasty. I have mine to my husband, he was still hungry. The clam chowder was ok. I feel like it had been sitting in the pot for a day or so. Really thick and kind of concealed. Not the rich-creamy flavor I was hoping for. Kind of bland. Needed to add hot sauce. I tried a couple bites of the Blueberry pie. Very thick pie filling. Sweet and tasty. Felt like the crust was store bought. Not really flaky or buttery. Overall, good lobster. Touristy. I'd pop in again for a quick bite.

My husband enjoyed his beer and I enjoyed my mocktail. You could see the blueberry in my drink although it did not taste much like blueberry. I enjoyed the ginger flavor, but was hoping for more of a blueberry twist. We ordered two popovers to start because, why not? While I will say the popovers are not something amazing, they were as I expected and they paired especially nice with the Maine strawberry jam. I ordered the popover pot pie and my husband got the BBQ pork sandwich because it was topped with blueberry BBQ sauce. I liked the restaurant's take on pot pie with the inclusion of two full popovers. However, I will note that the pot pie filling tasted more like chowder and less like traditional pot pie. I prefer the more traditional pot pie flavor, but I still enjoyed this dish. The pulled pork sandwich was also good and had a slight blueberry taste to the BBQ. The cheese and slaw on the sandwich were a nice addition. The chips on the side were also quite good. Finally, we finished with our third kind of popover of the sundae variety. The presentation of the popover sundae was over the top and I loved it. While I couldn't say the popover was hot when served, it still was fresh and delicious along with the homemade blueberry ice cream. They were very generous with the helping of ice cream and I wasn't mad about that. We were both stuffed and satisfied. On top of that, the service was top notch. Our server was friendly, attentive, and timely. The layout of the restaurant is quite spread out when you are seated on the outside lawn. Somehow our server was able to stay on top of all his tables despite the long distances I'm sure he had to walk between the tables and the inside of the restaurant. The support staff was also attentive and made sure we never had dirty dishes sitting on our table. We enjoyed the view from our table and the bench seating we chose to sit in was quite comfortable and relaxing. All in all, the service, food, and prices are a win for us. Well worth the visit. Note we did wait in line starting at about 10:15am for a table at opening at 11am. We had no difficulty being seated outside and there were plenty of tables for everyone waiting in line. Some had reservations, but you won't have a problem getting a table if you don't. We arrived about 8:30am and parked in the lot near the restaurant, but not the restaurant lot itself. We then walked around the entire pond before getting in line. I would suggest a similar timeline because by the time we were waiting in line, the parking lots were full.
