The real deal – The staff at our motel suggested this place as the best around and it did not disappoint! We got the sampler 3 roll dinner and a blueberry pie with blueberry ice cream and the food was amazing.
Portion sized seemed very reasonable to us. The lobster and rolls were fresh and very tasty. Not too mayonnaise-ey like some are. The pie and ice cream were also delicious.
The location is easy to get to from downtown Bar Harbor and has a great atmosphere. Best in the good weather however – no indoor seating if you’re after it.
Staff were super friendly and service was great.
Loved this place – highly recommend it.

Hands down the best lobster I’ve had — and we ate our way around all of Bar Harbor! We’re total foodies and tried multiple spots, but this one topped them all. The lobster was fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. It’s the ideal place to sit outdoors, enjoy the beautiful Maine weather, and pair your meal with an ice-cold beer. A must-visit stop if you’re in Bar Harbor!

I’ve never had a crab roll before today. The crab roll was delicious. I will order that again and again. The crabmeat to bread ratio was perfect. We also ordered the 1 1/2 lbs lobster dinner which came with corn and steamed mussels. All delicious. It was a bit cool outside, but they have fire pits available to keep you warm and music to keep you singing. Great vibes!!! Thanks for the wonderful customer service.

Everyone was super nice! You get a discount if you use cash vs card. I shared a lobster dinner. My mom and her friend had lobster rolls! The mini is definitely enough chow for one person! Drinks were on the expensive side. $3 for a canned soda! Everything was very delicious! My lobster claw had a lot of meat in it, the other had none. Haha. I got a dysfunctional lobster. You have to stop here for the lobster dinner and lobster rolls! 10/10!

Visited Travelin Lobster on a trip to Acadia National Park and absolutely loved it here! I had highly expectations of this restaurant because it was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint.
From the road this restaurant looks like a small shack, but after I parked, then I started to see the charm of the place. There is a main building that you order food from and a separate bar that you can order alcoholic beverages.
Travelin Lobster has a rather large menu. It is a bit overwhelming. However, they are known for their hot lobster rolls with hot drawn butter. They have three sizes to choose from – mini, small, and large. I went with the large. I was impressed by how stuffed with lobster the bun was. It was overflowing with goodness! It is also nice that they serve their rolls with a side of potato chips and do not nickel-and-dime you.
The seating area is nice. Nothing fancy. Just some tables set up outside with umbrellas as a bit of cover. But I imagine a lot of people are visiting this area for the outdoors.
The only drawback to this place is that they close at dusk or sunset. It would have been nice to come here after using the last bit of sun to get in some more hiking. But such a small nitpick to such an exceptional restaurant. It was the best lobster roll I had while I was in Maine!

My husband kept raving about Travelin Lobster—a food truck he heard was cheaper and better but I wanted a full restaurant experience.
On our last day, we stopped at Travelin Lobster (1569 ME-102). The lobster roll with coleslaw was heavenly. It was packed with lobster and absolutely lived up to the hype. We shared the blueberry pie, which was very good. It’s not my go-to dessert (I’d pick a flourless chocolate torte any day), but I’m glad we can say we tried authentic Maine blueberry pie. The lobster roll was the best but you have to get it “to go” or eat outside at the picnic tables.

Absolutely delicious!!! Service was very quick, food was great, and they had gluten free options which is what I need. We had the lobster melt and the lobster roll. Highly recommend stopping by on your way to and from Acadia!

Amazing hot lobster roll and lobster bisque. My husband got the chicken quesadilla and said it was great too! We went at the end of the day around 5:30pm and had no wait. Easy parking. They also have a bar and the drinks looked good. It’s a great spot to hangout and get some food!

This meal can be summed up in one word…FANTASTIC! We had the hot lobster roll and lobster mac & cheese. The mac & cheese was loaded with lobster and hot buttery lobster was willing over the hot roll. It is outdoor seating only so hopefully the weather will be on your side. Don’t miss this stop for the best lobster
