Overview:
Jeannie's Great Maine Breakfast was very good. The Junior Breakfast, which included eggs, sausage, breakfast potatoes, and bread, hit the spot after hiking a couple miles in Acadia. Jeannie's also had many gluten free options, like pancakes and English muffins, as well as some vegan and dairy free items, too. However, before we were seated, there was a very long wait for a table.
Reason for the 4 Stars:
Before we were able to enjoy this great food, however, we had to spend 30 minutes waiting for a table to be open for our group of 5. Thankfully, we were able to walk around the unique tourist shops in Bar Harbor during the wait, which honestly worked out good. I do think the wait was worth it in the end for the yummy food, quick service, and cozy atmosphere that came after.
My recommendations:
First, TRY THE PANCAKES! They are SO good! Even though I really enjoyed my variety of items, the pancakes are heavenly. Even if it's just once, try them!
Second, don't sit outside in the morning! It gets very cold in Bar Harbor, especially since it is by the ocean. However, if you do end up getting a seat outside, they provide blankets.
Finally, plan to walk around! Bar Harbor is a great area and is VERY touristy. Jeannie's breakfast is perfect to fuel you before walking around in the cute town.
In summary:
Jeannie's is great little breakfast spot that offers gluten free, dairy free, and vegan food. It is in a nice location and is the perfect fuel before exploring Bar Harbor. It does pick up a bunch of hungry people, and can have a pretty long waitlist, however, it is worth it for the pancake! I recommend to anyone visiting Bar Harbor who doesn't mind waiting before they get seated.
