How can an establishment get away with serving ever meal, take out AND dine in, in Styofoam ToGo boxes, with Styofoam cups for sides, icecream, drinks. There is just no excuse for that. Not only did the food leave me feeling like I needed to shower with a degreaser, I felt that our meal was doing lasting environmental harm. The... More

I've been going to Jordan's snack bar for years and have yet to find a place with better fried maine seafood. My favorites are the scallops and shrimp! Absolutely delicious. All of the workers are very friendly and hardworking, definitely a place to go!

Jordan's Snack Bar has become a tradition is Downeast Maine. Every year when Jordan's opens you will see long lines for a few weeks, in any weather. There's a reason for that. I personally love their fried seafood. Being a true Mainah I can tell you, this is the place to go. You will receive a generous portion of "cooked... More

Jordan's Snack Bar is a local favorite. Located on busy Route 1 (the Downeast Highway), this roadside favorite is the place locals and visitors alike find the best fresh, fried seafood in the area. They have clams (real ones with the bellies), scallops, haddock - alone or in combnation plates. Their onion rings are "to-die-for." You order at the snack... More

Well, I wouldn't say this place is great, but it's good. And it's casual and big so it would be great for big groups. The staff was nice, and you could tell they were enjoying their jobs. The food is very 'snack bar'-ish. But, you can get some soup and a lobster roll. Also ice cream! Though, I wish it... More

Not spectacular food but good enough. I would not drive out of the way to get there but if in the neighborhood, it is okay. They have inside seating but not inside service.

Locals count the days between seasonal closing and re-opening. Great food, good portions, fair prices. Eat in or take out. Picnic tables outside with a small playground for the kids.

If you ever drive through Ellsworth Maine (on trip to Bar Harbor), make it a point to stop at this great drive-in for a quick burger or delicious lobster roll. It's not a fancy place but the owners have really made it a nice drive-in for folks to enjoy great food. They even have a building where you can take... More
