Only went to the bar to watch a World Cup game that they had on tvs…read more Friendly bartender, good beers on draft, clean place and cool sea breeze coming often through the front. Onion rings were okay.

Closer to a 3.5. We made a reservation and had a window seat…read moredownstairs. Our server was great. Decided on the lobster roll meal and salmon salad. (For the meal the chowder was very good, lobster roll was full but lacked any seasoning for flavor, vegetable side was good (I though soup would come out first but this was not the case). Ended with Maine blueberry pie and ice cream which was excellent). For the price, I expected a more flavorful roll. Salad had yellowed romaine lettuce and again, salmon that lacked seasoning. This was the biggest rating drop. Fries were meh as a side. Great drink list. I hate to say it, but this place comes off to me as like an old people early bird special place where they hold the seasoning so as not ruffle the feathers of the regulars.

This restaraunt is located by the Jordan Pond trail and is a great spot to get lunch after the hike…read morearound the Jordan Pond, which takes a couple of hours. Since we came with our dog, we were seated outdoors. The outdoor seating is very vast and you are 8-9 feet from the next table. The views from the restaraunt to the Jordan Pond are excellent as well and make for a good dining experience. Service here is very good and prompt, which you will need after the hike. For food - we got the kale scenario and clam chowder. The clam chowder was excellent and the kale scenario salad was good as well but a little too salty. For the main courses, I got the lobster roll. It wasn't spicy or salty and was simply perfect. My son had the popover pie and he really liked the creamy taste of the chicken and vegetables. My wife and son had the local cider and they liked it. I had the blueberry lemonade and it was very sweet and they didn't have straws, which I didn't like. Overall, I recommend this restaraunt to anyone who is in the area.

I knew without a reservation we would likely have quite a wait time to get a table (which we did…read morehave to wait about 45 minutes or so), but we had just finished a long day of hiking the Bubbles then the Jond Pond loop so I figured we should try to get a table and at least try out the famous popovers. Plus it's a beautiful area, so why not sit down for a little bit and enjoy a meal? While we waited for our table, we explored the area a little bit and also explored their gift shop. There's plenty to buy, and they even sell their jam and popover mix which we bought both to take home for family to try. Once seated, we actually had quite a wait before someone came to take our order as well then there was a long wait for our food to come out also. After a long day of hiking with a toddler and a baby, I instantly regretted choosing to stop for food here. This is definitely not a place to go after being tired from a long day of hiking or when youre hungry or when your babies are ready to call it a day. If I'm being honest, the food wasn't impressive either. It was just okay. The popovers are nothing to brag about. I have never had or heard of popovers before so I didn't know what to expect but I felt they were a bit burned? I also felt they could've given a little more butter and jam with them as well. We also ordered pasta (so the kids could eat too). Nothing fancy there. But we ended with the blueberry ice cream for dessert and we were happy with that at least. Jordan Pond house is definitely a place you'd stop by for the views and to enjoy for historical purposes. 100% a place for tourists. It's a place I'd try once just to say I did it since I was in Acadia and likely won't get to come back, but I wouldn't necessarily come here for the food itself.
