    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.

I came here for the Crab Roll, which I had the first time I was here. Dare I say, it's better than a lobster roll? Packed full of crab meat, and no extra flavorings needed (though it does have some bay seasoning)! Worth coming back for this. The Smoked Fish Chowder (Bowl) had a lot of fish, with a hint of smokiness and a kick. Definitely hearty with the other ingredients (celery, potato, onion) and warms you up! The Baked Polenta Fries had a decent crisp. Frying would definitely give it a much better texture. I loved the dipping sauce, which definitely helped the dish. The Kelp Salad (Half) was too salty and I'm not a fan of the texture, so not a dish for me. It is a decently sized portion for a half. The Natalie's Lemonade was a good typical lemonade. Overall, a good spot to hit for the the crab roll!

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.

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.

The…read morelobsters were incredibly fresh, with soft, buttery meat that practically melted in every bite. Paired with sweet corn on the cob, it was the perfect combination. Sitting outside overlooking the ocean beside the Harborside Marina made the experience even better--the coastal views, salty breeze, and fresh seafood created the quintessential Bar Harbor dining experience. Coastal Dip (not pictured): A warm, creamy seafood dip loaded with lobster, shrimp, and other seafood, served with crispy tortilla chips. It's rich, flavorful, and perfect for sharing before your main course. Oysters: These were a bit disappointing. About half tasted fresh and briny, while the others didn't seem as fresh, making for a mixed experience overall. Looking back, I probably would've skipped the oysters and ordered another lobster dish or their famous lobster roll instead. Blueberry Pie: For $14, this wasn't my favorite. The blueberry filling was a little too sweet for my taste. The buttery crust paired nicely with the scoop of vanilla ice cream, but I don't think it justified the price. I'd save room for something else next time. Cocktails: They have several refreshing cocktail options, but my favorite was definitely the Country Thyme Lemonade. It had a sweet, refreshing lemonade flavor with tequila and other ingredients blended together, and it was served in a beautiful glass that made it feel extra special. The Blueberry Smash wasn't for me--it had an herbal flavor that reminded me a bit of a cleaning product, so I preferred the lemonade by far. Overall, if you're looking for fresh Maine lobster with beautiful waterfront views in Bar Harbor, this is a great place to stop. The lobster is the star of the meal, so I'd stick with the classics and enjoy the scenery. In terms of service, our server was very nice and helpful. I'd be careful though because they aren't organized about their servers - they have one named Mario who came up to our table and started flirting w the girl and it was unacceptable while the family was in the bathroom so I'd say watch out for that.

    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!

I am writing about the POUND, located on the outskirts of Bar Harbor on the main road into or out of Bar Harbor. The POUND is a very spacious "compound" with lots and lots of outdoor picnic tables (and a small indoors dining area as well) to dine on all things lobster. There's even some games for people to play (like cornhole). It's so relaxing and fun, and we even shared our picnic table with another couple. Everyone is happy and friendly. We loved the entire experience so much that we had dinner two of the three nights in Bar Harbor ! Talk about a well-oiled machine, this operation probably handles thousands of diners daily. The lines are always long but move quickly. The tables are always full, yet there's always a seat to be found. You place your order, and they bring the food... quickly. For our first night in Bar Harbor and at this place, we just had to try the steamed lobster dinner, and at first, we just sat there staring at the gorgeous red lobster. We didn't know what to do with it and quickly realized we had NO idea how to eat a lobster !! The owner saw us staring and kindly came over to give us instructions. At first, we felt like idiots, but she immediately put us at ease, and we realized that most people who come through there are probably just like us. Anyway, she was a great teacher because we ripped through that lobster fast and felt like professional lobster eaters by the time we finished. My husband and I actually split the lobster dinner... the lobster itself was huge and supplied an ample amount of lobster meat. The dinner also came with corn on the cob, cole slaw and homemade potato chips, and I ordered a garden salad. For our 3rd night in Bar Harbor and second time eating here, I tried their house special, a lobster roll which had warm lobster tossed in a lemon-garlic aioli. Soooooo delicious and stuffed with huge lobster pieces. My husband got their warm lobster roll in regular drawn butter, which he also loved. Desserts are ordered from a separate little building on the same grounds as the Lobster Pound. It's all related. They have many different dessert options and lots of ice cream flavors, but we were told (and read about repeatedly) that the thing to get is their warm blueberry pie and to get it a la mode with blueberry ice cream. IYKYK. We split an order, but I could've eaten the whole thing myself. Not gonna lie. To say that it was amazing is an insult, lol. I don't actually know a word in the English language to describe how fabulous it was. Wowwwwwww. Just WOW. You can be sure we got the same dessert the second night we came here. : ) And then I think about life back home where we have NONE of this to avail ourselves to. It makes me sad, yes, but I'm so grateful because I at least had the opportunity to experience this place... not once... but twice. If you're ever in Bar Harbor, make sure you go here. You'll be so glad you did.
