We had lunch there today, one of us had clam chowder and the other their seafood chowder, and both were delicious and reasonably priced for a large bowl. Bread, if you choose to have it also, was very good French baguette style. Service was excellent and prompt. Soup could have been a tad hotter is my only tiny critique but all in all a great experience and we'll be going back! read more

We didn't have a bad bite... is a gross understatement. Just amazing food and unique flavor profiles for the usual BH spots. 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. read more

meh. very rushed and dark ambience. no welcoming vibe. Definitely quiet. lobster roll was very dry. the brulee was excellent but very small sized. Too pricey for very average experience. read more

Disappointing overall in an area where fresh seafood is abundant, Peekytoe misses the mark. Except for the blueberry pie, really nothing stood out. We ordered the crab roll. Pieces of shell. Totally derailed. And way too much pepper killed the natural flavor of the sweet crab. Ordered the halibut...piece of fish was pretty decent cooked well but my wife's was dry. The sides were abysmal, lacked flavor just felt like it was a banquet wedding assembly hall type after thought. I would skip this place... which is a shame to say in a good area. read more

The Good: the crab panini was delicious, flavorful, crisp bread. The Salmon Reuben was pretty good, slightly salty. The Disappointment: I heard the smoked fish chowder was a must try. It came out luke warm, not much fish, and wasn't tasty. Service was okay, they did take the chowder off our bill, which was appreciated. read more

I don't know if it was an off day or what, but this place failed on a lot of fronts. Server was friendly, but unfortunately did not remember anything we ordered. When asked for the WiFi password at the beginning of the meal, she said "I'll ask" and never got back to us until the end of the meal, when we had to remind her. When taking our orders, she specifically asked if we wanted cold butter or warm butter on our lobster. While my friends wanted cold butter, they got warm. Food was subpar. While the price for lobster here is cheaper than most places, my lobster ended up being very rubbery. Partner ordered a pineapple ginger juice, and it was VERY heavy on the ginger and tasted "off", like drinking kimchi. I didn't care for the sweet potato mash, it did not go with the dish (lobster) at all, but the cucumbers were ok. Portions were uneven. My friends got the same lobster as I did, and yet they got significantly less lobster. Finally, while I know this wasn't a restaurant problem, I feel as they failed to act accordingly. One of my friends went to go to the restroom, and saw a man laying down on the floor. Staff were notified, but the staff seemingly did nothing; we asked the staff for an update and they just shrugged us off (because we were concerned for that man). If you're wanting to try lobster for the first time, DONT come here - spend a little bit extra on more reputable places, because this place was not it. read more

3.5 overall They have indoor and outdoor seating, with the outdoor area covered, so no worries about the weather outside. The tables are well spaced out. 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! read more

Sometimes simplicity really is best. After a day in the park, we quickly popped in for a late lunch. Not busy, but the menu's Panninis immediately caught my eye. Crab and lobster Panninis sounded too good to pass up. And so a pannini loaded with a quarter pound of peekytoe crab, with melty cheese and aioli, was just pure warm comfort between two slices of bread. It's really nice to have a place not skimp on their namesake meat. 10 outta 10, no notes. read more

The food was just OK and the prices were outrageous. Our server was kind, but even the vibe of the restaurant was just so-so. I would definitely pick a different place if I was going to spend this much money. read more

Service was good, food was bad. My lobster roll was just all mush and super soggy (not good quality bread) for a lobster roll and everything came out super cold. Not sure how that's possible when we were just about the only ones there. The fried rice bowl was okay after we asked them to warm it up. Rice was very hard read more

I wouldn't say I'm a fresh oyster connoisseur but they are one of my favorite things to eat. I came here when I lived in Bar Habor 4 years ago and was blown away. Now that I'm back this year, it is still as good as 4 years ago. I love that they have Maine oysters and you can taste how fresh they are. I send anyone I can when I'm asked at work for fresh seafood. read more

I really wanted to give this more stars - but couldn't be honest and do that. First - the place is just as cute as could be. Right on Main St in Bar Harbor - it has potential for days! Then there was the service. We ordered 3 hot lobster rolls and a crabby patty. It took a little over an hour from ordering to getting our food. And they were not busy and had enough staff. Maybe our order failed to get turned in? It happens. But, we were enjoying the patio and the beautiful day. The food was delicious - but paid extra for the lobster rolls to be 'hot' - and they were warm at best. I would like to assume/hope it was just an off day for Peekytoe - we wanted to really love it. read more

As we walked down Main St, we were looking for something low key but delicious and not too expensive. Well, this is the place. The front porch has a great over the street vibe, and the service was outstanding. The most friendly staff. Had Panzanella salad with prosciutto, the blackened, panko haddock tacos, the cornmeal crusted and blackened haddock tacos and build your own rice plate. This is a great, great unique choice when you want a slight difference in local cuisine. And the Brie starter is a must!!! I'd order that alone and be happy. read more

Of all the restaurants we went to in Bar Harbor, this one was my favorite. The food was all really great, and so was the coffee. I would highly recommend getting the pistachio milk! The salmon was so good, and so were all the sides. The only nit-picky thing is the clam chowder didn't taste like clam chowder. It was delicious, but spiced more like a chicken noodle soup. It wasn't the creamy clam chowder I was expecting. They also don't have salt or pepper on the tables. The service was very nice! We were offered coffees for the road, and checked on the perfect amount. I also loved the atmosphere of the place, we sat on the patio and it was perfect! Overall rating: 4.8/5 stars read more

This place was truly special. My wife and I stayed in bar harbor during the offseason to avoid tourists, but of course that comes with tons of restaurants not being open. We were thrilled to find this restaurant open and the food was exceptional. Great prices as well considering how high quality everything was. I can't recommend this place read more

The service was nice but the food was subpar. The flavors just weren't there, or strange combinations.

I'm so glad that i made a stop here because everything that i tried was delicious. Our favorite dish had to be the blueberry pie for dessert but everything we had felt thoughtfully prepared. The signature salad has a big portion of toppings that I really enjoyed and the amount of dressing was perfect. We also tried the crab roll which was well complemented by the pickle on the side. The crab was cooked well and seasoned. The smoked fish chowder was nice to warm us up but I didn't like the flavors of this as much. The fish is salmon and haddock! The oysters were so good. I loved their balsamic mignotte and i felt that all the varieties they had were distinct from each other. Unicorns were my favorite that night then blondes. The ambiance is adorable- we got a nice table on the patio corner. It's kind of a weird spot because people are moving all around and tend to stare but once we started eating it was fine. The chairs were comfy and bouncy. The only place that this place was lacking was the service. The server was on her first week of the job and it definitely showed. A little bit forgetful and inattentive. Definitely waited a long time for some basic things like water and the check. There were some stretches we just didn't see her at all. The pineapple tea was a little bland- it needed sugar or more ginger. read more

Nice outside deck ambiance (but beware of bees), servers are very friendly and food comes out quickly. We got the mussels, salmon burger and halibut plate. Everything tasted nice and fresh but wish the portion sizes were a bit bigger. Overall decent meal! read more

For off season travelers wanting fresh seafood (without having to drive ~20 miles), Peekytoe Provisions is open year-round from Wednesday to Sunday, 12 - 8 pm. Those who want to prepare the seafood themselves should just head straight to the second door where they have a small market section carrying a strong selection of local and sustainably sourced fish, shellfish, and live lobsters. Those who rather have the professionals prepare it for you, the first door leads to you to various plates and brew. Then there are those...dine first, quench thy thirst, then grab more fresh seafood on the way out for later. Their story and the recently completed renovations make this place absolutely charming. Their philosophy and grit is what makes them such a success story in this area. Of course, none of this would mean anything if they didn't stick to their commitment to QUALITY every single time. Definitely recommend. Definitely will be back. read more

Cute spot to grab food in downtown Bar Harbor. The servers were kind and thoughtful and had a fan blowing to cool down my pup on a hot day. The oysters were delicious - loved the Bar Harbor Blondes. The halibut ceviche with tortilla chips was okay. The lobster rolls are good, but not as good as some other restaurants in the area. read more

Peekytoe Provisions was my favorite resturant when visiting, so much so I went twice on my trip. The first time I had the clam chowder and the lobster bisque. Both were good but I loved the lobster bisque for the curry flavoring. I also had the local seaweed salad both nights. If there was one thing to get that would be it. It is unique and local. Overall the atmosphere of the resturant is nice, with being to sit outside! read more

Really slow service. Waited about 20 minutes after getting seated before being helped.

We absolutely loved Peekytoe! The atmosphere is so trendy and they have tons of outdoor seating. The menu is very large and there seems to be something for everything! We really enjoyed the crab roll and the crab cake. The crab cake was amazing! The fried rice was also very good, but definitely more baked than fried (tasted like very good risotto). The local seaweed salad was also very unique and good. The only miss was the homemade iced tea. We really really loved Peekytoe and you should definitely go here if you are in Bar Harbor! read more

Best oysters in town (this was the third place I tried). Highly recommend. Cute place and good service. read more

We had high hopes for this stop as it was very busy when we arrived. We ordered the tacos and lobster bisque. The bisque was lukewarm and had very little lobster in it. They charged $3 for 4 toast crostinis and some butter. The tacos did not come with any sides. None of their items do except the dinners. The tacos had very little fish in them. The local draft beer from Atlantic was $11. That same beer at Atlantic was $7. Our server was kind and attentive. With so many options in town, it's hard to justify $60 lunch for a bowl of soups and two tacos. read more

The inside is clearly new and looks lovely but the noise carries so it's a smidge difficult to have a normal conversation if it's at all occupied. Service was fine but the food less so. The oysters I would definitely not recommend at all. I was excited about their hot lobster roll but what I think they do is steam the lobster and then sautee it, which cooks it twice so it was very chewy. My husband had their crab roll and liked it, so go for that! read more

Husband didn't like the BLT. Sauce, bacon and tomatoes not the taste he wanted. Crab cake sandwich was good. However, it was not presented as ordered. Iced tea was very good. Haddock sandwich was tasty. Warm lobster roll was okay...bread was soggy and fell apart. One server was really good; other one was just okay. read more

After already having our requisite lobster roll, clam chowder and blueberry pie from another place ... we decided to walk a bit further up the road past the park to where it was less touristy. Decided on a bowl of clam chowder with extra clams ($11 + $5) ... which was more broth based than creamy and not sure it was worth extra for the kinda tough clams. Also got the Lazy Lobster ($30) with side of mustard seed cole slaw ... but lobster was a little less tender than expected. The best part was the Belleflower Brewing Antheia's Ascent DIPA ($10) ... so hazy and perfect. Although quite busy when we got there ... we asked (an older woman who was lukewarm to us) to wait for a larger outdoor table on the side. But another woman (owner) was quite friendly in joking with us and taking our order. Service was good with a rotation of staff helping to meet the needs of all the customers ... both in and out doors. Not sure if we just ordered the wrong things ... but if ever in BH again, we would go back to give it another try with possibly the oysters ($3). read more

We stopped by for an early dinner around 4pm on a Sunday afternoon and were able to get seated immediately. There are tables with umbrellas in the front and a row of bar seating and tables inside. We stared with the Halibut Ceviche and this was good but it was missing the onions and jalapeño that were listed in the description. Next up were the oysters! These were the freshest and best oysters we've had in Bar Harbor. We got the Blonde and Cranberry ones. The Blonde ones were very briny but very good. You do not need to add any of the accompaniments! These are also one the best priced oysters in BH. For main entrees, we got the Bluefish sandwich and the Salmon Rueben Panini. Both of the sandwiches had extremely fresh fish. I thought the salmon would be fully cooked but it's more of a "medium" lox type. They also have a great selection condiments and snacks in their marketplace and they also carry a wide selection of Momofuku items. I highly recommend this location! They are closed on Monday's or else we would have returned. read more

Didn't get a chance to try their "highly-rated" foods, but I'll give my two cents on our experience with the staff, two Caucasian ladies "working" at the reception area. We entered the restaurant (6 Asians) and waited to be seated, as per the sign. We've been standing in front of the reception booth for a good 5 minutes waiting to be seated, and aware that the two ladies saw us, but they or not one of them bothered to come talk to us. They just blatantly pretended we were not there. We turned around and went to the next restaurant across from them, and it was the best decision we made that day, so in a way, we owe them thanks! read more
