Had a great dinner at Stewman's Lobster Pound! My group of three was seated promptly and staff were very nice! For a drink, I tried their tangerine limeade which was tart yet refreshing. For food, we tried a pound of steamers and mussels, which were very good and tasted fresh. For mains, I split the lobster roll and crab roll/sandwich. The lobster roll had a good amount of meat and I enjoyed the option of sweet potato fries. The crab sandwich was has a creamy mayo texture which paired great with the sweet, tender crab. Additionally, this restaurant has great views of the harbor! Overall, would recommend to anyone in the Bar Harbor area! read more

We had fish and chips, cheeseburger and chicken cabana sandwich. The fish and chips were perfectly cooked. Cheeseburger was delicious and the chicken cabana sandwich excellent. Our server was Enniko and she was excellent. Friendly and helpful. And the ambience really couldn't be beat as we were eating out on the deck just over the water read more

1¼ lb Twin Lobsters: This was everything I was hoping for in a classic Maine lobster meal. The lobsters 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. read more

This was my favorite meal of our trip to Maine. The lobster meat was not overcooked and tender. The fried fish was also perfectly cooked as well as all of the other dishes. I will say the lobster nachos were a bit strange and not what I expected, but everything else was a slam dunk. read more

Came here after coming off a nearby puffins and lighthouse cruise. Loved the outdoor seating on the deck and the views of the harbor! The food was good too. I will say that everything we got felt like it tasted good, but also very "standard" in a way? While nothing super stood out to me as great, it was a really solid taste of some of the Maine vacation musts - clam chowder, lobster roll, blueberry pie! read more

Lister roll was packed with fresh lobster and actually better than I thought it would be. Nice atmosphere and friendly.

Nice ambience in the restaurant, I had the shrimp roll and I initially thought that it was steamed shrimp with like in a sauce (like shrimp salad kind of thing), but it ended up being fried shrimp and I typically don't like fried seafood, but it was absolutely delicious. The flavor of the batter and the fry was not super thick and it was really delicious with the remoulade sauce. read more

This place is still open downtown, I'm not sure why it says it's closed. I'm assuming it's because of the reviews they'd get. I went here solely based off of I thought it looked cool from the outside. I wouldn't eat here again if you paid me to. The crab roll was not good and neither was the shrimp. Over salted and over-priced. My most expensive meal of our trip and also the worst. Thumbs down. read more

We've now been sitting for an hour and 15 minutes with no food and no service. Our party of 4 has watched multiple tables be seated, served, and leave before us. Asked the server if he knows what's going on and has no clue. SOLID 1 STAR. read more

We had great service and a nice view at Stewman's, but the food was expensive and didn't really impress us for the price point. In addition to being expensive, some of the menu descriptions seemed misleading. For example, the Cajun shrimp roll claims to be served with Cajun remoulade but seems to have a spicy mayo sauce. The drinks, however, were very tasty- especially the blueberry mojitos and blueberry lemonade. read more

Neal was a great waiter! He really took great care of us. We were seated up over the water on a deck, but covered. Pleasant breeze while we ate. Burger and fries were excellent. My wife's Lobster Roll was good, though she hadn't expected it served chilled. We didn't know. She was disappointed at the time, but has since learned that's how it's done up here. Mom's salad and Dad's fried seafood platter (name escapes us now) were also good. Bar Harbor's restaurants have tended to be snug, but we were pleased with the space this place offered. read more

I came in around 7:45 pm as a solo traveler. I was looking for someplace to eat near the water. There were several 4 person tables open (5 that I could see). I was told as I was one person they had to save those for parties of more than 1. There was no line and no one waiting. Normally that would be fine, but they wanted to sest me next to a large party at a tiny table about 5 inches away from the large group. When I asked again if there were any possibility of sitting at the other tables I was told no. First time this trip I've been made to feel less than as a first time solo traveler. Most places have made me feel very welcome. read more

I've been to this place a few times over the years when in need of a quick bite outside. Each time I've sat in the bar area. Food is basic but decent. The bartenders tend to pour reasonably well. It's a bit overpriced but look where you are, bub. It's a gorgeous spot. read more

This was my first experience with a lobster roll. Had no flavor despite looking awesome. Came with a group who wasn't super excited about trying seafood like me so we split a whole roll for the table real quick. Server seemed irritated that we weren't ordering more. (We also got an appetizer). read more

This was unfortunately very average. I got a shrimp roll with sweet potato fries. Maybe the lobster roll would have been the better choice but I just wanted to switch it up a little and try something other than a lobster roll in Maine. They kind of skimped on the shrimp and it was so bland even with the sauce and coleslaw. The fries were pretty bland as well. It's a good location but there are better restaurants around the area for sure. read more

Good place, I like that is very big, lots of sit down areas and everything was on a good time, our server was helpful and fast, our food was very good, we love the lobster dip so much, the sides options for the plates here were free and they have a few options which we like so much, their lobster was also very good. read more

What I liked about Stewman's was that there's something for everyone, not exclusively lobster, and the location on the water. Everyone working was nice and our server was attentive. Otherwise, I had an average food experience. I got the shrimp roll with sweet potato fries and it was underwhelming. The shrimp is fried and put into the roll, the sauce and coleslaw are on the side so you can put them in. What I had was fine and, I hate to say it, reminiscent of Cane's. read more

Everything here was delicious. Our server, Calvin, helped steer us in the right direction on the menu options. The blueberry mojitos were flavorful and so good. The steak salad might have even been better than the seafood tower, which is tough to do. I'm going to attempt the recipe at home back on the west coast because I don't know how I can live my life without ever eating that salad again. So good! We sat inside and were able to witness such a gorgeous thunder storm while we ate. 10/10! read more

There was a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. It's on the water with a nice view. It did take us a while to get our drinks. Our server, Marlon was nice but I don't think he was able to keep up because he kept saying let him take care of this table and he would be back but I went to the car to get a sweatshirt and came back and he still hadn't come back by. We wound up just getting the $20 seafood dip and 2 drinks and left. Nothing on the menu was screaming to us and things were taking too long to come out. The seafood dip was pretty small for the price but it was good. The drinks were ok read more

Solid place for fried seafood baskets and dockside outdoor seating - it was a sunny summer day and sitting by the water was lovely. I had the fish and chips which were good - the fried beer-batter wasn't overwhelming and the fish wasn't dried out. It came with a side of coleslaw and fries. My husband had the pier house catch basket which had a variety of seafood (haddock, shrimp, clams, and scallops), fries, and cole slaw. His favorites of the seafood basket were the shrimp and scallops. A filling meal overall, but a bit on the pricier side as other reviews have mentioned. read more

Stopped here while waiting for the Cat Ferry to Nova Scotia. Chose location for the water view. Chose to order the spinach and artichoke dip and each had the full ladle of lobster bisque. Everything came out at once. The tray full of store quality tortilla chips surrounded a miniature serving of spinach dip of TGIFridays quality. And neither of us had a single piece of lobster in our bisque. Not impressed. Go somewhere else read more

We came here out of desperation when several surrounding restaurants had a 2+ hour wait for dinner. We were able to be seated inside right away. The food was mediocre and pretty pricey. You really pay for the view here as the restaurant is right on the bay. I had two cocktails and did not finish either one. They were both pretty watered down. Fine place to go in a time crunch but probably would not return. If you mostly care about atmosphere, this is the place to go. read more

The service was quite nice however severely overpriced and honestly just not flavorful. The lobster was fresh but was just lacking in all aspects and for 42$ I expected more. Additionally my friend got some shrimp cocktail for 22$ and there was literally 5 shrimp. Severely disappointing. You are pretty much paying for the view. read more

Ate at Stewman's Lobster Pound while visiting Bar Harbor this evening. The seating area and view over the ocean is the best part about the experience. You sit on a dock right over the harbor. The food was okay, not the best I've ever had but not the worst. I had the fish and chips and my wife, who isn't a seafood person had a chicken sandwich. The chicken was very dry. My fish was just two small pieces, I was still hungry after eating. Overall experience was average. Price for three people was about $100. read more

Wait staff wanted to seat us at a very small table in the corner even though the place was virtually empty at 2:30 in the afternoon. We ended up leaving to avoid more rude service. read more

Phenomenal experience! Our waiter really made the entire experience shine - so knowledgeable and friendly! Shout out to Angel!!! The blueberry pie was top tier! I wish we had a photo but ate it way too fast. Right on the water - perfect views. Plenty of availability. read more

I wanted a giant platter of fried seafood and Stewman's delivered! We had a long day driving Acadia and wanted something nearby and stopped at Stewman's. They have full outdoor seating as well as a covered patio which was lovely! We tried the pomegranate margaritas which were delish and fairly strong. I ordered the pier house catch platter which had haddock, scallops, shrimp, and clams plus fries! Everything came out hot and very crispy. Loved everything with the exception of the clams - I love shellfish but clams are a little too stringy for me. The fish was soft and flaky and the shrimp and scallops were great too! read more

The seafood was mediocre for this restaurant being a seafood restaurant. It won't get you sick or anything, but it's nothing special. The location and the design of the restaurant itself is more interesting than the food. The service wasn't bad. read more

This place was everything I'd hoped for our Maine lobster experience. We went on a Monday evening around 730 and there was no wait. Our waiter Kevin was very helpful in describing the sizing and portions for the dishes we were interested in. The dishes we ordered were: -Basket of Rolls- not the most amazing rolls I've ever had but they were fine -Jonah Crab & Lobster Cake- INCREDIBLE!!! Must have -Rustic clam chowder- great, especially if you love clam chowder -Maine Lobster Bisque- delicious. I'd never had it before and it was so creamy and flavorful. Definitely recommend -Classic Maine Lobster Roll- this was also delicious. It came with fries that were delicious&crunchy! We had the lobster roll served as the cold style instead of warm and it was great. -Wild Maine Blueberry Pie- delicious The restaurant is on the water the views are nice. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Did a tour bus which was by their restaurant and decided to go in and try it out. The staff was friendly and since we were in sun all day we're didn't want to sit outside but they told us the deck was covered and had a nice cross breeze which it did. I wanted lobster again but wanted other seafood so I ordered the Pier House Catch - "The Boat Docks Here". It had fish, clams, shrimp and scallops. It was deep fried but it was good. I also got a 3 lb lobster that was the lazy man way where they took the meat out. I didn't want to mess with cracking the shell again. My wife had the fish and chips. She said it was good especially the fish. It was overall a good experience with good food. read more

Awesome lobster! When we come to Bar Harbor and want the full experience with reasonable prices and lots of options, this is where we go. Today's visit was no exception. Service is always prompt and quick, so be ready to order. Servers are friendly and happy to give recommendations on preference and size, so feel free to ask questions. We all tried the Lobster Experience, and the New England Clam Chowder was extraordinarily delicious. The 1 1/4 lobster was steamed and flavorful. The corn on the cob was super fresh, and the potatoes and mussels were also so tender and good. Finally, we ended with the absolutely amazing blueberry pie and ice cream. So good! We will be back again. read more

Service was really good at first, but he forgot my wine and didn't check on us after food was delivered...till he asked if we wanted dessert. Fresh oysters were great per friend that ordered them. Lobster was great according to my 2 friends that ordered lobster. My cajun shrimp sandwich was meh and Cole slaw wasn't good. Sweet potato fries were good. Steamed clams were lacking. Some not even open/edible. Mngr came to check on us and we explained the disappointment with the clams...he wasn't very interested. read more

There are so many seafood joints in Bar Harbor, so it was hard to pick which one to go to. We ended up choosing this place because of its large outdoor deck which was right on the water. We started our meal with the Coastal Seafood Dip. It was good, but a little dry and the ratio of dip to chips was off. A couple of us followed that with the lobster bisque, which was delicious. We only ordered three entrees for the four of us, because we had seen how big the portions were on the tables of other customers. We got the Shrimp Basket, Fried Scallops and the Frenchman's Bay Fish & Chips. They were all quite good, with the scallops being particularly tasty! read more
