All the lobster things are delicious. The quesadilla and mac and cheese are especially good. Finish with a slice of perfect blueberry pie , which has a hint of lime .

Katherine Henderson

Hubs and I split the lobster mac , lobster roll , and blueberry pie - all were very tasty and came out very quickly. Bartender was also a great server and provided honest & helpful recommendations.

Ami H.

Great meal- diverse menu w/ lots of lobstah choices, respectable selection of tasty local craft beers , comfortable , unfussy dining, able and pleasant wait staff . Lobster combo dinners are tops.

Kass

Lobster roll was great, if expensive . The real move is happy hour - 1/2 off wings and $5 margaritas is one of the best happy hours in town . Plus super friendly staff and great porch seating!

Kiwi Wang

Best lobster roll hands down. And the Mac and cheese is on Paula Deens top macs list so it's definitely a wowzer!

Rob Winters

Positively awesome! ???? Great views and the food was delicious. They are Dog Friendly and the staff is amazing! Don't miss this place. Try the Lobster Melt :)

Richard Revilla

The concierge helped me out on a very busy Saturday night. Packed crowded but staff is good and lobster roll was excellent.

Tobias Negele

We came all the way from Germany to visit Bar Harbor. I checked foursquare to find some nice restaurants locals enjoy and found the Side Street Cafe. I had the Mac-And-Cheese with Lobster ... Perfect.

Molly McOsker

Raspberry gimlet was amazing!! We also tried the baked avocado appetizer and it was awesome! The server jasmine was friendly , helpful and took great care of us! Definitely can't wait to go back!

Rory Parness

A half order of the mac and cheese is enough for a full meal. Jalapeno and bacon is the combo to get!

Jennifer Jackson

Nomad with grilled chicken was tasty- fries weren't hot or exciting- my brothers Mac and cheese was super good and buffalo chicken dip is a must! Service was slow but I would come back to try the mac

Owen Griffiths

Roasted Vegetable Salad was great. Added scallops and they were so generous. Lobster Mac & Cheese was excellent top.

Alex Still

The steamed lobster dinner with clam chowder and a pound of steamers was the realization of all my Maine dreams.

Volker Fränkle

Waiting time for walk-ins ist round about one hour in the evening. Make a reservation in advance. Friendly service . Large menu. Tried Mac & Cheese and the Nomad Burger .

Lisa Robotham Rice

Lobster roll is not cheap but it is worth every penny. . Also any variety of Mac n cheese is a winner. The service is not the fastest but the staff is very courteous and accommodating.

Laura Sohn

Lobster stew is amazing. Very milky served with thick lobster chunks. Nomad burger was a good burger . By far impressed with the crab melt . Melts in your mouth. Simply divine.

Brett Binns

I enjoyed the fish taco . I am not a fan of raw onion and the waitress was concerned that the slaw used had onion in at and therefore served the slaw on the side. The onions were well pickled .

Mo F

They have dinner specials on a menu card that aren’t on the main menu - don’t miss them! Lobster stew is like a bisque and soooo good!

Zach Johnson

Everything here was amazing. Get the half rack and mac you wont be disappointed. The service was excellent, we will definitely be back!

Travis Bloom

The lobster roll is deliberately bare. They take pride in the quality of the meat and want the raw flavors to come through. One of the best I've had

College Prowler

For any College of the Atlantic students craving lobster , Side Street Cafe is the place to go. The Lobster Rolls are to die for, and everything else is equally as good... Including the service.

Kelsey Anderson

Lobster stew was ???????? and lobster dinner was a steal!! A whole lobster for $20!

Gajtana Simonovska

Love this place. Excellent food, service, and ambience in good downtown location. Happy hour daily from 3-6 p.m. Freshest ingredients around.

Ali

Great service, reasonable prices, and delicious food. Anything with lobster is phenomenal, and their burgers are superb.

Hal Mackins

Huge menu with quite a few dependable options. The lobster mac 'n' cheese could've only been improved by some toasted breadcrumbs on top.

Derek Allard

Great restaurant ! Food was outstanding and they took great care of my wife who has celiac disease. Highly recommended.

Greg G

Great food. Build your own Mac n Cheese is a good idea, and half portion was still large. Pretty good beer selection .

Nick Namias

This place was great with kids. I had a great lobster roll , and there was PBJ for the 4 year old. Perfect for the family on a night when you're not venturing out to a lobster pound.

Kelly Anne

We've been here twice in three days. Everything is wonderful an fresh. A great vibe too. This is a Bar Harbor must!

michelle

The best blueberry pie ever! Very generous lobster roll and the lavender margarita was delicious!

Aaron S

Lobster quesadilla was amazing. Great break from the traditional lobster roll .

Carsten Nohrden

The lobster Mac n cheese is so rich and delicious. Huge portions !

Don Flowers

Some of the greatest servers around! Friendly helpful and quick! And the lobster rolls are FABULOUS!

Perze Ababa

The Lobster Highliner has got to be the best lobster dish I've tasted in this trip. Get it, you won't regret it.

Alex Montague

Lobster roll has excellent meat, and you can get it with a cup of clam chowder as a side option.

Amol K

Lobster mac and cheese was big enough to split 3 ways. And amazing.

James Vaughn

Anything with mac and cheese = heaven. You can't go wrong - amazing! Great service too!

Paul Luning

Lobster roll - worth the price; tasty and huge serving of excellent lobster

Juliana Molina

Good food, but the mac & cheese with lobster for $22 comes with little fragments of lobster . In fact, no stairway to HEAVEN.

Jobu Jemas

Yeah the lobster stew is good but if your tired of eating that while your in Maine, get the Northern Cuban sandwich . Pretzel bun = awesome!

David Shipman

Happy hour 4-6pm. Small margarita pitcher $10. (Reg $15) Try the blueberry or seasonal apple cider varieties! Best in BH

Lauren Sloan

Best bang for your buck lobster on bar harbor! Friendly atmosphere , I will be returning to next trip.

Bryson Hall

Get a burger with lobster !! You won't regret it!

Sofia Uz

Family friendly place, huge servings. All mac’n’cheese is really good!

Brendan Rastetter

Order the lobster roll . It has a more than generous helping of meat for the price. Also, excellent service. Friendly and fast!

Jarrett T

The Lobster Mac n cheese was amazing. Very long line (>1 hr) for inside. Outdoor seating within 10 mins

Matthew Hilliker

Lobster Rolls are incredible. Fries are disappointing (especially after the fries at Finback Alehouse) so stick with the chips .

Steven Y

Get the lobster roll , lobster mac and cheese and especially their lobster quesadilla

Lynn Malko

The Lobster Roll is FAB-U-LOUS. Kids Mac & Cheese is the perfect size for kids.

Dana Villmore

Always a great meal! Get the blueberry soda and anything with lobster :)
