Lobster may as well be Maine’s unofficial mascot. Millions of lobster buoys float all along the coast, and it seems like everyone’s always ready for Lobster Roll Discourse™. Luckily for you, there’s an excellent lobster roll spot just a few minutes away from Acadia’s most famous lighthouse on the western half of Mount Desert Island. The roll itself is less than $30, stuffed but not too unwieldy, and has the perfect amount of mayo.

The outdoor tapas bar is the more laid-back counterpart to one of the best fine dining spots in town. That means you can enjoy a hibiscus-infused mezcalita and an order of cheesy provoleta without having to worry about planning around a reservation time or dressing up.

Everyday Joe’s is located at one of the few gas stations in Bar Harbor, which makes it a prime “two birds, one stone” candidate for fueling up both your body and car. There are convenience store standards like giant coffee dispensers and Slim Jims inside, but you’ll also find a griddle behind the checkout counter, lots of seating, and a menu that spans everything from breakfast sandwiches to bowls of ramen.

The brewery is tucked away on a quiet residential street with a patio that also has a wood-fired oven where you can get a shakshouka pie with a jammy fried egg at its center. There’s a healthy collection of hot sauces you might recognize if you’ve ever watched an episode of Hot Ones, plus a great selection of fun beers like a fruited IPA with papaya and passion fruit and pilsner made with Maine barley and hops.
