This is THE spot for the real deal in lobster. We went to Beal's first and left because of the wait (family of 12), and we're so glad we did. MDI (Mt. Desert Island) is unpretentious, unassuming, and the food and friendliness are the points of emphasis. MDI has its boats docked 100 feet from the kitchen, and when lobster tanks get empty, they walk down to the dock and pull up another crate bobbing in the Somes Sound saltwater. It's family operated, and you will feel like a part of their family when you sit down. Peter and the staff checked in regularly and offered our family pointers on quieter places to enjoy Acadia on the west side of the island. They also offer barbecued ribs and other meats. It's not much to look at – picnic tables, umbrellas, lawn overlooking the docks – but it's exactly the kind of place you want to spend a sunset cracking into the shellfish goodness! One of my favorite experiences in Acadia National this week!

Great seafood and BBQ place right by the water (you can eat in the tent or on the tables near the water). Went with my parents twice on our last two nights of vacation, it was so good the first night and the owner suggested we come back again for the ribs. Over those two nights we ordered the clam chowder, fried shrimp, whole bellied clams, pulled pork, lobster roll, and ribs. Everything was fresh, delicious, and well worth the price. The staff is also incredibly friendly and greeted as soon as we walked in. The owner even went around to every table to make sure everyone enjoyed their meals. Only issue was the pulled pork wasn't hot the first night and he went back to the kitchen, addressed it immediately, and offered us some commentary BBQ sauce because my dad had said he enjoyed it so much. If I go back to the Southwest Harbor area again, I will definitely be going back. Could not recommend enough.

Two experiences here! Our favorite restaurant in Southwest Harbor… absolutely 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #1, came at 7:10pm for dinner and they happened to run out of BBQ from dinner rush… no worries, our family each got the fish ‘n’ chips special and were very happy with the food and portions! Enjoyed the beautiful Maine sunset over the water. Owner/manager gentleman came out to check on us, apologize about bbq sold out, but encouraged us to come back for it the next day! #2, Returned here for BBQ lunch the next day and we were absolutely delighted. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone delicious, the brisket was tender, the lobster was fresh, and the sides were all wonderful! All the staff were tremendously courteous and professional both times… this place just knows how to treat customers right Would 100% recommend this place to any visiting family, friends, or anyone reading this review!

This place is way overpriced manager Amy is extremely rude as well.lunch yesterday had a 1 1/2 pd lobster., 1 ear of corn and a coleslaw that was terrible. and steamers. that right there came to 40 something dollars. We also had a diet pepsi, crab roll , and a water the bill came to 90.00 dollars, I was quite shocked to say the least. I called the next day to make sure they had not made a mistake. Amy the manager said no in a curt voice and kept saying it clearly states how much things are, at least 4 times, yes I was annoyed. I get a response from the owner saying I hollared and screamed at his employee which is completely false (my mother in law was standing right there), again I didn't scream and hollar as accused of but was annoyed. Amy also told me if I didn't like it, I could take them off my list....really? I worked with the public all my life in the Travel Industry and trust me very ugly customers at times, so I know your not suppose to be rude to a customer. She could have politely said, sorry you feel this way, those were the prices, instead of being annoyed and rude and telling me to take me off their list. No need of that kind of behavior. This is an edit as I just got home and realized all the typing errors, so as you said to me Mr Owner you...
