Not worth the price, or the hassle. There are numerous better dining options on your way into the park. Between the difficulty of finding parking, navigating the crowds just to get inside, and the underwhelming food, I truly wish we had skipped this tourist trap.

As we were escorted through the restaurant to be seated outside, there was an unpleasant odor inside that made me eager to get back outdoors. After receiving our drinks, we were excited to try the star of the show—their famous popovers. What a letdown. They weren’t soft, pillowy, or delicious as advertised. Instead, they were hard on the outside, seemingly overcooked, and neither fluffy nor particularly flavorful on the inside.

For our meal, we ordered sandwiches with side salads, which were decent, along with what turned out to be the worst lobster roll I had during my entire time in New England.

The views and scenery are absolutely stunning and well worth experiencing, but I would strongly recommend dining elsewhere.

We had an excellent time here! Didn’t have to wait long for a table, beautiful day, excellent service (shout out to Jackson, our waiter), solid food (nothing out of this world but still great, we’re easy to please). Our dog had plenty of grass and space to chill. Had a lovely walk around the pond after dinner. Just overall a fantastic experience!

One of my favorite meals during my visit to Maine. Had reservations for dinner on the last day of the season 10/26. And although the menu was extremely limited and we were the absolute last table being served, it did not affect the level of service and quality of meal.
Our server Jackson was super nice and knowledgeable. The popovers are a MUST (so good!) The chicken caesar wrap was perfect , the grilled cheese was an elevated version and delicious ! And the side of chips completely complimented the meals
Also loved how cozy and welcoming the entire dining area was and the picturesque view of Jordan Pond
Highly recommend making reservations and checking out this dining experience when visiting Acadia National Park! (Check seasonal hours of operation before showing up!!)

We decided on a walk around Jordan Pond after a dinner in town when the crowds were gone for the day and parking was easier. I hadn’t made reservations for lunch or dinner here knowing we were here at the busiest time of year, but I was interested in seeing the restaurant.

We had reservations for sunset on Cadillac Mountain and decided to stop in for dessert before we headed up. Dimitar was our very kind and warm server and the other staff were also friendly and warm.

The restaurant was quiet at this point after the dinner rush and we were able to appreciate rhe history of the place while waiting for our dessert.

The popover sundae we had heard so much about was delicious- big enough that I am glad we decided to split one, though. Definitely recommend saving room for dessert or coming here for just this, as we did. On our next trip to Acadia I would love to have lunch outside.

Highly recommend stopping here for the history, service, and food. And the gift shop! Lots of great stuff there, too.

After hiking all afternoon — finishing with a beautiful 3.7-mile loop around Jordan Pond — we were ready to refuel and had zero desire to drive back into town.

With mild skepticism, we decided to try the Jordan Pond House right there in the park… and we were pleasantly surprised!

They seated us right away (despite the dinner rush) by a window overlooking the lake — the kind of view that makes you instantly forget your sore legs. Our server, a friendly and funny student from Eastern Europe working for the summer, was a highlight: attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoyable to talk with.

We shared the Spinach Bacon Blue Cheese Salad, New England Baked Haddock with mashed potatoes and veggies, Lobster Stew, and of course, the famous Popover Sundae. Everything was excellent — my husband ranked their stew (bisque) in his top two of the entire trip, and the Popover Sundae? Pure indulgence, the kind that makes you consider hiking another 3 miles just to justify it.

My Lavender Honey Bee gin cocktail was so good I happily ordered a second round.

Ending our hike at Jordan Pond House turned out to be a perfect choice — beautiful trail, great meal, sunset views, and happy bellies.

We wanted to stop here while in Acadia, and we thought it would be neat. We weren’t sure about the popovers, they seemed like a novelty.

After dining here, I realized that you cannot skip this, and popovers are amazing. The regular popovers are light and fluffy and go well with the strawberry jam and butter. The chicken pot pie was one of the best I’ve ever had, and slapping it in a popover instead of crust was inspired.

For drinks, we went with the herbal blueberry iced tea and the blueberry lemonade, of course. Both were delightful.

We sat in the restaurant around 11 am on the Friday before Labor Day, and only had a 15 minute wait. Don’t try to go at peak times, aim for just before or after.

Parking was difficult but I’m glad we were patient and found a place to park, so we could enjoy the Jordan Pond House Restaurant. The place was packed but our wait to be seated was only 20-minutes. We were able to take an amazing selfie from the upper observation deck. I particularly enjoyed the Jordan Pond House lobster stew and warm popovers.

We spent the morning hiking around Thunder Hole, but it started to sprinkle about lunch time. So, we went to Jordan Pond House Restaurant. Lucky, we found a close parking spot and got on the waiting list. It took about 30 minutes to get a table, but the gift shop is right there by the restaurant and we needed to grab some souvenirs and use the restroom(which was not as clean as I expected). Once we were seated, our waiter (in a work program from Croatia) greeted us promptly. The hot blueberry tea was scrumptious, the chicken popover pie meal was huge, and the blueberry bread pudding was the perfect dessert to finish off the meal.

Hands down the BEST popovers and strawberry jam! Popover Pot Pie was also AMAZING! I got this half turkey sandwich on rye w lentil soup. It was flavorful and delicious. The sandwich didn’t come toasted which I was expecting but it was actually good soft and more cold as is. So no complaints there. I recommend getting the thousand island on the side which was very tasty! Actually it was kinda nice to have a cold turkey sandwich with a warm flavorful bursting lentil soup. Highly recommend. I would go back in a heartbeat! Please please make a reservation!! I made mine months ago and SO glad I did! One of the first people to be seated at 11am when they open! Also don’t be alarmed with the huge line!! If you have a res, move yourself over to the left and you will be seated!! The line is for folks who are trying to “walk in” without a res. The service and quality of food really was spectacular! We would’ve sat outside bc of the gorgeous weather and view but opted out since there were lots of bees. There is also a gift shop here that is worth checking out. The prices are high so be warned. I thought the prices at the restaurant was reasonable. Two popovers for $10. I am going to check out their new popover cocktail bar hopefully tomorrow! This is first come first serve, no reservations but if all you want are popovers this is a good option! Thank you for the lovely experience! Will be back!

The popover pot pie was good, menu said there were potatoes in it, there were not. By far the best clam chowder I’ve had. The clams were not chewy at all. The lobster stew was so good. All was very hot with great flavor. Had the popover sundae with blueberry ice cream. We both highly recommend this. It was very good. We did have a 35 minute wait but it was worth it. The service wasn’t great, but they were busy. The atmosphere and view more than made up for any issues. Overall we would definitely go back.
