Acadia Provisions

Best butcher shop around. Anytime I'm in town I must stop in and get the marinated steak tips. They tend to switch up the marinades too. I don't think they sell a bad item in the entire store. Plus I love the huge selection of dry rubs spices and hot sauce. The staff are all great too very helpful with any questions. Highly recommend!!!

We drove a long day on vacation and I wanted to stop here to get a couple steaks for dinner. We arrived 15 minutes prior to closing time, and they were just loading the steaks up to put in the cooler. Thankfully the guy wrapped up a couple steaks for me, and they were fantastic! Great flavor. This is a neat little shop with lots of items to choose from.

I got a sandwich from the cafe today that was so good I felt the need to call the store and tell them how much I liked it. Delicious, filling, and reasonably priced

We went here looking for a cut of meat we couldn’t find at a couple of other grocery stores. They had what we were looking for and the quality of the meat seemed great, but even still the prices were extremely high and most importantly the service we received at the meat counter was abysmal. We asked the butcher if he could prepare the cut of meat for the type of cooking method we were planning and he flatly told us he wouldn’t cut the meat for us in any way and that we could figure out how to do it ourselves. We are not butchers or chefs ourselves and do not have the equipment or knowledge that we expected a butcher to have. We thought that our request was reasonable and part of the butcher service but apparently that isn’t the case.

This store is PRICEY but you get quality. I'm also assuming part of the price is because many of the products are hard to get, it's not regular brand products you can get at the grocery store. Get a sandwich from their deli, everything about the sandwich is good (meat especially). Staff is also very friendly.

Thank you Acadia Provisions for stellar oysters!! Made our holiday celebrations a lot tastier!

Slow, slow and slower… took over 30 minutes for 3 sandwiches. He had to make just five before ours. Cold deli sandwiches. I could eat my arm in so hungry now. Shopped while waiting. Wanted to grab some crackers and cheese for dinner. Not a single box of plain crackers except for grain free flatbread for $6. Overall a great concept but poor execution on every front.

It is always nice to talk to knowledgeable staff, And you have access to a butcher shop.

Acadia Provisions is a true gem in the heart of our community! This delightful deli, butcher, and market has quickly become my go-to spot for the freshest meats, delicious cheeses, and unique pantry staples. The friendly staff are always eager to help with recommendations and their passion for quality products truly shines through. Whether I'm picking up a charcuterie board for a gathering or simply stocking up on locally sourced goodies, Acadia Provisions never disappoints. A true culinary haven where every visit is a delightful adventure!

Place is great! The only place around to get high quality meat, chicken, and fish. I've been in many times and the service has always been friendly and attentive. Keep your eye on their social media for delicious daily lunch specials. A+++

Had kind of a bad first impression here. Tried to order a sandwich. Had to be somewhere in 90 minutes. Sandwich guy says he's backed up 25 minutes. Don't see anyone else waiting for sandwiches. All they have is one premade type of sandwich. I just wanted a little more consideration. Feels like dude wearing headphones working sandwich counter doesn't have customer in mind.

we stopped here to buy scallops and steaks. The scallops were great and we paid for prime boneless ribeyes. What was supposed to be prime ribeyes were probably choice New York strips. The butcher didn't have any in the meat case but said he could cut us some. When we came back to the meat case he had them cut and wrapped and I guess I was stupid to not have asked to see the steaks. But we were charged about $65 for 2 steaks that weren't worth a fraction of that. So disappointing and we will not go back there.

Grocery/Whole Foods meets deli type place. Great sandwiches made to order or pre-made. Side salads and goodies to go with sandwiches. Clean store and courteous, friendly staff.

Should be a nice store, but the young staff is very poorly trained. They don't seem to know about their products, can't answer questions, and acted aloof and uninterested. Asked why the price we were charged for a pie was $2 more than what it said on the package, the one ringing it up said, "I dunno. I don't have anything to do with that." We tried to get someone's attention at the Deli to buy some cheese, but they couldn't be bothered to speak to us, and when they did they didn't know anything about what was in the display case. When we asked for some cheese spread (clearly labeled as such) she said, "we don't have anything like that." Even when I pointed at it, all she could say was, "you want that?" Apparently nobody is training the workers in how to interact with customers.

This is a great small grocery store with a real butcher onsite and lots of high end really nice products. We got some yummy brats, nice mustard, fresh local sourkraut, and a nice head of romaine lettuce. We are going back for the bone in pork chops. P.S. I read the other reviews and FYI: they advided us when we commented on the nice looking steaks and chops that they just hired a new butcher so perhaps the sandwiches will improve. We didn't go for sandwiches.

Boars Head conducts! Sandwiches made to order and there are tables available. Lots to choose from as fair as a beverage goes.

Great store with great deli selections, unique items and a convenient location on the main road in Ellsworth making getting in and out easy.

We came here to provision for a day of hiking. Not sure if this is typical, but they didn't make sandwiches to order- you have to select one of a handful of choices of pre-packaged sandwiches. They were fresh and tasty enough, but nothing memorable. There was a good selection of chips and packaged treats to take on the road. All was perfectly good and met our needs, I just expected something a little more special based on previous reviews.

Only one star if you're going to get a sandwich/sub from the deli bread is not fresh/local, is mushy and undercooked. Ordered Italian sub and the casing was still on the salami after they sliced it and put it in the sandwich. Asked for hot peppers got bell pepper slices instead. Went there last year and had an excellent sub. Guess the new deli help needs to do an internship at subway Or other franchise sub shop to learn how to put a sandwich together

Friendly and Helpful Staff. Bears head Deli, Grass Fed meats, fresh seafood and a wide variety of natural, organic and local products. Small cafe with made to order sandwiches, grab and go items and daily specials. A great place to stop on the way to Bar Harbor!

We stopped in for a sandwich to take on our hike up Acadia Mountain this morning. This is the cutest shop ever! The service was extremely prompt, friendly and the sandwiches we're amazing! Some of the best we've had. They have a lot of organic foods as well as an on site butcher. We will definitely be back. My only suggestion would be to have a sign out front. The sides of the building are marked clearly.

Definitely not a grocery store. Sort of a gourmet health food store/ butcher. Expensive and limited selection.

I drive by this place everyday and finally stopped in today, while it looks nice,looks can be deceiving. While waiting for the deli girl to finish making a sandwich and take my order, her apparent friend walks in, walks to the front of the line and she takes his order instead...I was like okay guess my money is no good here and left. Aside from all that the sandwich selection is weak, your basic run of the mill sandwiches , no creativity whatsoever. Their Italian sub ,like every other place in Maine is not even close to what a real italian sub is, geez people in this day and age of the internet its not that hard to look it up!! And what kind of deli with a butcher shop does not have bacon on any of the sandwiches?? The kind i'll never go back to that's for sure, and I eat out everyday

Such a lovely store and the staff is helpful and welcoming! Everything I bought was top quality.

Excellent selection of fresh meats and great gourmet provisions. Loved the olive oil and vi what bar which you can sample before you buy. Excellent fresh baguette as well.

What a great place for quality meat and more. I had no idea it was also a grocery store. Great location.
