Great food. Locally owned and operated. Amazing kind servers. And the ambiance is modern/rustic. Great food at a good price and the drinks are on point. Only place we frequent in BH.

We stopped here for dinner on our first day in Bar Harbor. We picked the restaurant because their website said no wait, but it did end up being about a 30 minute wait for a table. The inside was very busy and was pretty loud. I ordered an apple cider margarita, which was the margarita of the moment, and it was fantastic. The apple cider was so good and the brown sugar rim really completed the flavor. I got the bangin shrimp Mac and cheese and it was good. The bangin shrimp on top of the Mac and cheese was really good, it was perfectly spicy. I wished the Mac and cheese had been broiled a little or had some breadcrumbs, it could have used a bit of crunch.

Came for the blueberry pie. It was our first time having Maine Blueberry pie and we are now fans! Sooooo good! The crab dip was good. Just hoping for crab pieces instead of it being soo minced. The pita chips provided were enough as well. The bartender came to take our order and checked in frequently, along with the waiter. Customer service was great! Plenty of seats indoors and outdoors. Glad we were able to check this place out!

Had a nice dinner here. Sat in the Annex bar as the main bar area was full. We were greeted by two nice ladies tending to the bar area. Grabbed a couple of drinks and food. Started with some chips and queso dip. I had the Pot Belly BBQ pork sandwich. It was very good. This place gets busy so come early as both sides of the restaurant was full. We didn't stay around for it but they have some live music.

Side Street Cafe was fantastic! It's a nice October day and got right in. Service was great and enjoyed the vibe. I got the lobster roll, cider Margarita, clam chowder, and sweet potato fries, and all were fantastic. Lobster was loaded with lobster wasn't smothered in mayonnaise. It was just right.. I would definitely recommend coming to Side St., Café ! 10 out of 10 highly recommended

We stopped here for dinner after exploring the area. The seating area is huge but we were placed in a nice secluded patio area. I got a clam chowder and a pulled pork sandwich with chips, both of which were quite tasty. This was a solid place for a great dinner!

Side Street Cafe is one of those restaurants that I visit every time I visit Acadia National Park. The restaurant is pretty large and they have a wide selection on their menu. They're also one of just a couple of restaurants that are open during the off-season. The Lobster Rolls here are excellent. I had the Honey Sriracha Salmon last time I came and it was delicious! The restaurant has a casual, relaxed vibe and is the perfect place for dinner after a long day of exploring Bar Harbor.
