Harbor Lobster Co. - Bar Harbor

My first drum! the bartender, kip, made me feel like home. great talk with locals too.

You must taste this restaurant of the woman! our whole food was delicious, we ordered a lobster roll, crab roll, roasted burgers, blueberry cake and whoppie cake! my favorite thing was the lobster roller sampler, it was 4 mini lobster rollers served four different types! please give this restaurant their geduld with the service, they were very short workers like most other places and did the best they could!

Very attentive, well prepared, and great for all ages from 9 to 74. We have one family member with multiple food allergies and they went above and beyond to make sure it was safe and well prepared. A little pricey for a casual dinner... but so is all the fresh local seafood.

Do restaurants think that we are really so desperate? After five hours drive from Boston I so wanted a fresh Maine lobster. Instead, I was served a lukewarm microwave reheat with shell so plastic it was impossible to break. Ready to leave and not throw good money after bad but my husband wanted me to have good experience. The restaurant replaced the lobster with an acceptable one. Memorable mention to jalapeño corn bread that was just a sugary corn bread and creamy coleslaw with no mayonnaise at all. Wine was good but from Europe.

Total letdown. We stayed across the street in an Airbnb and after a long day of travel this place looked amazing. Sat on the patio. Menu looked good, drinks too! But it was a major letdown. Our server lost our slip so we waited almost 1 1/2 hours for dinner. She comped us dessert which we should have asked for a meal or drinks to be taken care of. All of the sides we got were terrible. Mac and cheese was buttered noodles that were cold. Brown butter fries were just cold frozen fries. Cornbread had no kick to it. Lobster rolls were so bleh. I got the sampler. They were all dry and just so nondiscript. My husband got the very unique surf and turf and it was terrible. Our free desserts were dry Whoopie pies that were ice cold and so dry they crumbled when you picked them up. This place could have some potential but it’s just pedestrian food. Bland. Cold. Lacked flavor and care. Bummer of a way to start the trip.
