Portland & Acadia Guide: Recommendations & Places to Avoid 🌍⚠️

Food Edition Portland Street&Co (): Avoid at All Costs ❌🤡 To put it straight: Do NOT stop for meals in Portland when passing through. It feels like every restaurant in this city has a long wait at night—and they’re overpriced yet terrible. We went to Street&Co: waited 2 hours, ate in 10 minutes. The portions were shockingly small, and the taste was ridiculously bad. Yosaku: Avoid at All Costs ❌🤡 We ended up here because there was nowhere else to eat. The only upside is it has parking, but the food was indescribable. I ordered udon noodles—it was so salty it made me question my life choices… The sashimi was bad too. In short, Portland basically gave us zero good food memories. Bar Harbor Galyn's : Avoid at All Costs ❌🤡 Bar Harbor is just as crowded with people. We got takeout from Galyn's, and it tasted terrible—definitely not recommended. The Stadium & Jordan Pond Ice Cream ): Highly Recommended ✅😋 Let’s be real, this spot was pretty good. We ordered lattes, lobster rolls, and clam chowder—all tasted great! The clam chowder is a must-try; it was way better than expected. Jordan Pond’s blueberry and Oreo ice cream flavors are delicious too! The Travelin Lobster (, Near Bar Harbor): Decent ✅👌 You can stop here for a meal when driving into or out of the mountains—it’s passable. Personally, I think their Lazy Lobster is better than the lobster roll. The Lazy Lobster uses claw meat, which is much tenderer. For those who aren’t crazy about lobster: bring some instant noodles with you. Let’s be honest, Maine feels like a total food desert. #PortlandEats #PortlandRamen #JapaneseRamen #AnimeNostalgia #StudentFoodDiary #HiddenGemRestaurant
