We came here after hiking at Acadia. There was a woman playing guitar, great atmosphere with lots of funny signs hanging up. The food was pretty average BBQ. Ribs fell off the bone and pulled pork was juicy as they both should be. I was a little disappointed with the BBQ selection... only two types. They were knowledgeable about gluten... More

Had lunch here with son and daughter in law on trip to Bar Harbor. Sat at a communal table in the main room which we shared with other folks. Great ribs - half rack size is perfect for lunch. Good beer selection, great baked beans, and wonderful wings. Only 2 choices of sauce-barbecue and hot like buffalo style. Could have... More

I sincerely don't understand the fascination with this place. The favors were all about heat and not flavor. This isn't the sweet, succulent BBQ I'm used to, but bland in flavor with heat to compensate. Even the cornbread was nasty, with pieces of vinegary jalapeño in them, like they were out of a can or something. The baked beans were... More

Ordered pulled pork platter. Price just over $10. Sides ordered : baked beans, cole slaw, potato salad. Baked beans and cole slaw were O.K., potato salad a little dry. The amount of pulled pork received was enormous. Unfortunately it was quite dry. Ordered "Leafpeeper Red" beer, which was quite nice. While eating at this place is certainly inexpensive, the quality... More

Our visit to Mainely Meat (and the Atlantic Brewing Company) was one of the highlights of our trip. The people that run this place know what they are doing. The food and service were excellent, and the prices were the most reasonable ones we found on the island.

This place is a real find (and it's best you have a map to do so or you may miss it). It doesn't try and hide what it is, you can figure it out quickly enough. If you like some of the best beer in the area, with a meat platter to really hit the spot after too many lobsters,... More

Awesome food!! Try the sampler! Super tender ribs, chicken, pulled pork, and smoky sausage. Our waitress, Gabriella, was the sweetest young lady, with a delightful Romanian accent. It's a must!

We are here on the last day of their service before they were closed for the season. The food are cheap compare to other restaurants in Bar Harbor. The pork ribs is really delicious and juicy. The pulled pork is so so. We also tried their best seller beer, "Bar Harbor blueberry ale" and it's really good.

This is a good resturant if you like smoked meats. They mostly sell pork, but you can get chicken too. A sandwich and a side is great for lunch or you can get all you can eat. The resturant is right next to the Alantic Brewing Company so you can get any of the beers it sells with your meal... More
