Hey Sailor in Searsport, Maine, delivers something surprisingly rare along this stretch of coast:…read morebold, confident flavor that actually lands. I'm from New Orleans, where food doesn't whisper--it speaks up. After spending a full month traveling the Maine coast from Bar Harbor to Yarmouth, I found plenty of fresh seafood and scenic charm, but very few dishes that truly woke up my palate. Then I walked into Hey Sailor. This place doesn't hold back. The flavors are layered, intentional, and memorable--each bite feels thoughtfully built rather than simply assembled. There's a balance here between creativity and comfort, with dishes that feel both elevated and satisfying. It's the kind of food that makes you pause mid-conversation because your attention suddenly shifts to what's happening on the plate. In a region where subtlety often takes the lead, Hey Sailor confidently turns up the volume without losing finesse. It's not just good for Maine--it's good, period. If you're someone who craves food with depth, personality, and a little punch, this is a stop worth making. For me, it stood out as one of only two places on this entire coastal stretch that truly delivered that kind of experience.

Never written an online review in my life. traveling. "hey…read moresailor" had a funky name and advertised good tacos. give it a shot, right? $8 per taco-which seemed like a lot- but expecting a big crunch very tasty taco. Nope. tiny. think smallest grocery store street taco wraps. they doubled them up presumably to add weight to it and to keep it from falling apart but they did anyway. which was a minor miracle because there was barely anything in it. said it would be ready in an hour. took hour and 15 min. worst of all, they left out the sauces which presumably would give these tiny things some personality. got house made taco chips to go with it, they tasted like they had been sitting around a lot longer than an hour. terrible salsa. like diced tomatoes and water. overall, fifty bucks (sixty after tip) for 4 little soft tacos and some nasty chips. I get it. it's a tough business and hard to get good help. I had my own small restaurant for 40 years. but I was always there making sure everything was as good as possible. and it was. get it together guys. put some effort into it and don't disappoint people like us traveling who don't want fried seafood or pizza, for Christ's sake.

We decided to eat in a regular restaurant rather than fast food for our most recent trip to Bangor…read more We were in the mall area and saw Las Palapas near the hotel and decided to try it for a change of pace. Our server was helpful and friendly. We started with the standard chips and salsa. I liked it fine, but the salsa was too spicy for my wife. The server offered some enchilada brown sauce for her instead. It was a nice thought, but my wife disliked the taste and, I must agree, when I sampled it I felt it tasted unsuitable, at least for that purpose. It was Margarita Monday and I would have liked to indulge, but I was driving so I demurred. We both ordered taco salads for our meal. Taco salad is also a Monday special, priced a dollar less than the regular dinner version. Just out of curiosity, after my wife ordered the lunch special with guacamole, I ordered the regular dinner version. Our salads looked about the same, except hers had more ground beef for whatever reason. So my experiment was inconclusive. The taco salad was pretty good, and we brought some home with us for later, so it was a good value these days at around $10 each. Ordinarily I would finish by saying we'll be going back again, but the spicy salsa is probably a deal breaker for my wife, unless we bring our own mild salsa!

Mexican Food in Maine? Absolutely!…read more We found this amazing Mexican spot right in the middle of downtown Bar Harbor, and let me tell you the location couldn't be better! Families were walking by, live music was playing across the street, and people were sitting barefoot on the grass trying to stay grounded. Meanwhile, we were being spiritually guided by the smell of Mexican food coming from Salsa Verde Grill. It pulled us in like a tractor beam! We started with the fresh guacamole, blue corn chips, and their Christmas sauce a combination of red and green sauce. Oh man Christmas came early! That sauce was so good I almost asked for it in a cup with a straw. My wife ordered the steak burrito, and it was so big she couldn't finish it. Imagine that! I ordered the enchiladas topped with a fried egg, refried beans, and rice. Oh boy, I was stuffed but somehow kept eating like I was training for the Mexican Food Olympics. Our daughter ordered the same thing as Dad, but hers was smothered in that delicious holiday sauce. She couldn't finish hers either. My wife and daughter are a couple of wimps! Or maybe I'm just a big-backed roly-poly with no quit in me. The food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the atmosphere was perfect. We absolutely recommend Salsa Verde Grill when visiting Bar Harbor. Come hungry, wear stretchy pants, and don't blame me when that Christmas sauce has you licking the plate. Bye-bye now!

Every single "positive" review on here is 1000% BOUGHT AND PAID FOR--just look at the photos! Good luck actually reaching a human being. Try calling them and you get a useless AI bot. You can NEVER speak to a person! THAT ALONE IS A MASSIVE RED FLAG, BUT IT GETS SO MUCH WORSE. When you are forced to WALK OUT of a restaurant with starving kids because the garbage they put on your table is completely INEDIBLE, that tells you everything you need to know. Our family travels constantly, we love great food, and we have had a fantastic time in Bar Harbor--until this total disaster. My daughter ordered a simple chicken taco and they handed her dry, rock-hard poultry crammed into a stale, salt-bomb hard shell with ZERO toppings, zero salsa, zero dressing, and ZERO EFFORT. My other daughter's quesadilla was packed with so much cheap, rubbery cheese that she LITERALLY CHOKED ON IT. And to top off that insult, they served her RANCH DRESSING and tried to claim it was sour cream! As for my enchiladas? A COMPLETELY LAUGHABLE DISGRACE TO MEXICAN CUISINE. A soggy, slimy, undercooked DISASTER. AND THEN CAME THE OWNER. This arrogant joke of a manager explicitly ADMITTED: "Yeah, those enchiladas could have gone in for longer!" YET HE STILL REFUSED TO COMP A SINGLE CENT. He didn't offer to remake the food, didn't offer a refund, and didn't even have the basic decency to offer chips and guac to-go for our hungry kids! When my husband confronted him--"You do see the way you are treating customers, right? You didn't offer me anything for this horrible experience"--this guy ACTUALLY LAUGHED IN OUR FACES AND SAID, "I DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING." UNBELIEVABLE. DISGUSTING. Our family ALWAYS treats the food and beverage industry with the grace and respect it deserves. We NEVER return food, we NEVER complain, and we NEVER disrespect servers. In all our travels, we have NEVER encountered an owner who wouldn't bend over backward if a guest was unhappy. But this place? A total scam run by a smug, toxic narcissist. DO NOT WASTE A SINGLE PENNY HERE. THEY NEED NEW OWNERSHIP IMMEDIATELY!
