Jordan's Restaurant - Breakfast - Lobster Rolls - Burgers - Pancakes - Sandwiches

On our last two days in Bar Harbor, we were craving a good old-fashioned breakfast — no frills, no foam art, just real food. Jordan’s turned out to be exactly what we needed. It’s an excellent classic diner — friendly, chatty service, the kind that makes you feel like a regular even if you’re just passing through, and simple, home-style food that hits the spot. Everything was fresh, tasty, and served with that comforting “made-with-love” vibe. And let’s talk about the blueberry muffins — warm, soft, and perfectly paired with a hot cup of coffee. Maine blueberries never disappoint, and neither did Jordan’s. Bottom line: if you want a hearty, no-nonsense breakfast served with a smile before your next hike or ferry ride, Jordan’s is the place.

Delicious diner in Bar Harbor, Maine. So grateful to have the opportunity to visit this restaurant. The omelette is so delicious, both the Maine delight omelette and lobster cheese. The blueberry pancake is also delicious, I recommend you to order the maple syrup since both combination will be mouthwatering. I really love the black coffee and half&half, helps you awake for the entire day. The toilets are so clean, and the waiters + waitresses are so friendly and fast. The location of the restaurant is also strategic, since it is next to grocery store.

A great local place to get a great breakfast. The blueberry pancakes and western omelette were delicious. The staff were very kind and even gave us a few tips on what to see in the area. If you are going to Cadillac Mountain for the sunrise, this is a good option to catch breakfast before.

Decent diner, way overhyped. Blueberry pancakes are ok, they are not sweet, which is a nice contrast to the blueberry syrup. I might just try normal pancakes if we visit again. I almost ordered a muffin but wasn’t sure if they use the same batter… French toast was ok, maple syrup was pretty good but didn’t seem worth the up charge. Coffee was good, service was good, food came out quick, and they seem to have pretty quick turnover so you’re not there for hours. I’d come back, but I might try other places first.

The best and probably cheapest breakfast we had while in town! They tell you to sit wherever you like. Service was fast and excellent! The blueberry waffle and muffin was LOADED with blueberries! I didn’t even need the blueberry syrup which was more of a compost but it was delicious! Highly recommend!

The food was mostly good. I would highly recommend the bacon and cheese quiche, lobster roll and clam chowder. The haddock chowder was way too watery and quite disappointing. Service was fairly good but it's so busy that we felt pressured to be quick and get out as soon as possible.

JORDAN'S IS A MUST!! If there is one breakfast spot you must stop at in Bar Harbor, it's definitely this gem. As a local who has been living here for a few years now, I can attest that Jordan's is the heart of this town. The owner, David Paine, is a true legend - flipping pancakes for over 50 years with a smile. This place feels like home, like family. David always takes the time to greet his regulars and make sure everyone feels welcomed. There's so much love and warmth in this old school diner, done the way that feels right with spoken tickets and true team work. Highly recommend it for a cozy and delicious breakfast experience! It's humble and done right and I can't wait to try everything on the menu.

We enjoyed the small-town feel of the place and the food was all very good. The blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup were exceptional and the fried potatoes tasted much like ones my Grandma used to make for us.

Came here for breakfast. They are extremely busy but very quick. We were seated and after we ordered we got our food almost immediately. It is a diner, very traditional. Food was pretty decent and portions were large. Ambiance is very traditional diner place, with booths, and simple menu. If you would like some simple breakfast, that's a great place.

Fueled up at Jordan's before a day of real cycling--not electric--in Acadia. My mate had a breakfast large enough for a family of four while I chowed down on an exceptionally large slice of delectable quiche. Not to be missed: the amazing blueberry muffin! Service was excellent, our coffee cups never ran dry!

Came in around 6 AM and there were a few booths available. We are seated immediately and given waters and can order coffee soon after. My partner and I split a stack of the blueberry pancakes with the blueberry syrup and a side of bacon. The good: service is fast and efficient. We were in and out within an hour. Attentive but not overly so. We got what we needed. The blueberry syrup was a lifesaver. Truly the best part of the experience. The bad: for a place famous for their pancakes, they were undercooked and had no flavor. Took a bite without the syrup and was so disappointed. The prices were high for what you got- 5.50 for 3 pieces of bacon. Between two people with coffees it was over $30 and pretty unsatisfying.

Food: The food was alright and pricey (probably due to the tourist traps around). The blueberry muffin was great! The sausages were a bit greasy. Service: Very friendly and quick. Ambiance: I love the traditional diner feel of this place! The restaurant is right in town so it gets very busy early on! We arrived a little before 8 am and we were seated right away. The restaurant had people in it, but it started getting busier right around 8:15-8:30 AM.

Blueberry pancakes are great. Everything else is fine, but didn't blow me away. A bit pricy overall and small portions, but the pancakes salvaged the experience. Was fairly busy early AM so prepare to potentially wait for a table. It's a "pay up front" kind of place so when you're finished you don't need to wait for someone to take your card and come back. Overall, worth trying if you like or want blueberry pancakes. Otherwise, at least based on the rest of the food we had, probably skippable.

They open quite early which we like when traveling 5 AM to be exact which is great ! Tons of parking spaces in the morning. Hearty breakfast including blueberry pancakes w/ Maine maple syrup to fuel you up for your day. Waitress had plenty of helpful tips exploring the surrounding area of Bar Harbor.

If you're looking for Blueberry Pancakes in Bar Harbor, this is the place! The most blueberry-ish blueberry pancakes I've ever had!

A very quaint family owned restaurant. The blueberry muffins were just delightful and what I wanted to eat in Main. We had the traditional classic American breakfast with blueberry pancakes, eggs, and bacon just like anywhere else. It was delicious. I also had the blueberry soda because I kept wanting to hear it and I finally got to try it. It was really good. We also had the cheese and lobster omelette as well as the ham and cheese omelette. Those were great. Coffee was also good. The cream of the was blueberry pie with ice cream while it was very very expensive. It was definitely worth eating. Service was nice. People were enjoyable and it was a nice breakfast for the family.

Delicious and simple breakfast with quick and friendly service. Exactly what I wanted to start my day.

Convenient and tasty! Service is great and staff are all so friendly. You order at your seat but you later go and pay at the front register. Lobster roll was a bit pricey but tasty. The blueberry pancakes with wild blueberry sauce were a must get for us. We got it two days in a row!!

This was a nice little find before taking a Kayaking trip in the bay. I had the tuna melt and clam chowder, my friend had the lobster roll. I got a blueberry muffin to go. Service was a slow throughout. It was good that we included a lot of extra time before we had to meet for the kayaking excursion. The food was good. The weirdest part was my friend and I split the check. She paid first, and I paid after using the bathroom. I probably could have walked out and not paid since I kept getting put off while standing in line to pay. I think they thought I was waiting for a seat because so many people came to grab to go food and got to pay. It was a little odd because we had been sitting at the table right next to the cash register. I was finally able to pay after the lady at the register said that [my] table hadn't finished paying, and I said I had been standing there waiting to pay. They forgot to add the chapstick that I wanted to buy on the bill, so I just left it and went because I didn't want to wait any longer, we had to meet for the trip. Overall, if you're in a rush, don't go here, but it was a nice experience.

A true short-order experience. In fact the pace and noise seemed to seap into the service. Not unfriendly at all, but all business and on the move. Could be easily called over, so not inattentive, but it felt like they were keeping it moving. The food was good, especially the blueberry pancakes. Party of four all enjoyed our food, but a week later we don't all remember what we got. What we remember was the experience.

Service was the quickest I've ever experienced lol. I am not a huge blueberry fan but tried the blueberry pancakes and muffin. Both were ok.

Jordan's was a nice, casual, local diner. Pancakes and the signature omelette were just okay, nothing special, it was like something that you'd get at a typical diner. The blueberry muffin was the highlight and actually pretty good.

The blueberry pancakes and blueberry muffins were very good! We ordered the haddock chowder and lobster omelet and they were okay. The lobster omelet didn't have enough lobster in it to justify the price. We went at 7AM and they didn't have a long wait but there was a wait starting around 9AM when we left.

5 stars for the staff. They were very friendly and extra accommodating. My server came back several times. 4 stars for the food. Coffee was good. Eggs were fine. Pancakes were almost raw in the middle. It made them very heavy and I couldn't finish them. I suggest French toast to be safe. Typical greasy spoon ambiance, which I love.

Great breakfast spot in Bar Harbor. Quiche was warm, flavorful and delicious. The blueberry syrup was a standout. The hash browns were well seasoned. Good old fashioned breakfast spot that knows how to make great comfort food!

Picture this: you're up at 4:00 to catch the stunning East Coast sunrise from Acadia National Park. A satisfying breakfast afterward is tempting, but most breakfast spots in Bar Harbor open at 6:30 or 7:00, and you can't wait that long. Don't worry--one place opens at 5:00: Jordan's Restaurant. If this is you, don't hesitate. Go to Jordan's! In business since 1976 and very busy every morning we passed by during our vacation, Jordan's must be doing breakfast right. So, we went right after our Maine sunrise. It's a classic New England, home-style breakfast joint serving up local fare. That means they prominently feature wild Maine blueberry pancakes and muffins. Surprisingly though, there wasn't a lobster something-or-other on the breakfast menu. It's cute inside, in a rustic, 1950's, sort of way. How could we help but order a grilled wild blueberry muffin to share? We did, and it was fantastic! So was my bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on a toasted English muffin. So was her oatmeal with, you guessed it, blueberries (with a side of bacon for protein, of course). The staff was friendly, efficient, and plentiful, which isn't always the case in a super-busy breakfast place. Whatever the reason, if you're in Bar Harbor and don't want to wait for breakfast until everyone else wakes up and does the same, head to Jordan's.

We ate breakfast here on a Sunday morning about 9. The place was already pretty crowded. We were sat quickly with a party of 5. We ordered pancakes and basic egg/meat/toast breakfasts. They were all good. Our server was friendly and attentive. Overall a very serviceable diner. Would go back.

Great blueberry pancakes and blueberry muffins! My husband and I split the pancake club special! Just enough food! I would ask for the real maple syrup as well! so much better!

Day trip to Bar Harbor ended up at Jordan's Restaurant for breakfastBlueberry muffin was warm and fresh although I wished the waitress suggested grilling the muffin, as was enjoying my 1st bite I saw 4 grilled muffins being delivered to another table. The blueberry pancakes were lite and fluffy but I would ask for extra blueberries next time. The character of the restaurant has a very nostalgic look and feel. Street Parking is a few and all of Bar Harbor has Pay Stations. Be prepared

We came in every morning while in Bar Harbor for their blueberry muffin and the blueberry pancake syrup. The eggsAnd sausage were great too.

This is the place for the Best blueberry muffins and pancakes!! I wish we had found this sooner! The staff is friendly and quick to get water and coffee. The coffee is very good! There's a good selection of hot sauces that go well with their delicious home fries! The restaurant is clean and comfortable and they serve breakfastall day!!! Stop here first!

Very friendly staff but that is the only redeeming quality. The food is pretty good diner quality but at fine dining prices ($11.79 for just 2 eggs??). The blueberry pancakes were undercooked and the blueberry muffin was mediocre at best. There many other great breakfast locations and this one is not one of them, just a tourist trap which is a shame since they have a long standing history

What a lovely place to grab a classic breakfast!! Best blueberry pancake I've ever had!!!! Tons of options with wonderful service. We had the best time

The food here is fine, but a little bit pricey. Not a ton of options, mainly diner staples, but they can make substitutions and swaps so that's nice. The atmosphere is cute, real Maine diner feel and the service was fairly quick. The highlight was the blueberry muffin by far. If the price point was lower, I'd give this place a 4/5 but I didn't think the food quality justified the cost. Bathrooms are stalls, large and generic, good for the size of the restaurant but vibe wise was boring.

I'm giving four stars only because of the amazing customer service The food was just fine They did offer gluten-free blueberry muffins, which I was very impressed. However, the muffin was not good at all.

After a long morning of getting the rough tour of Acadia National Park, all Toby and I wanted was to try what a Maine lobster roll was versus a Boston one. And, man, does Jordan's sell some honking lobster rolls. The lobster was chonky, meaty, and juicy with enough pieces to fill a jigsaw puzzle. I also found the mayo sauce and other spices a perfect vessel to slather the meat in. The bun was a good size as well, as I had worried that it would be flimsy and Ill-proportioned like some other places do it. I have to say that was one of the best examples of a lobster roll I have ever had. I also would like to point out, if you go, you have to get the Wild Maine Blueberry Muffin as dessert/snack. It's so wild, it's almost crazy. I love blueberry muffins, but this was something else. Maybe a blueberry personal cake.

My wife's favorite breakfast spot in Bar Harbor. She really enjoyed the eggs with corn beef hash. My western omelet was pretty good. Service was fast and efficient. The place is obviously well-thought of, as it was packed.

If you're ever in Maine and craving an unforgettable dining experience, Jordans Restaurant is an absolute must-visit! I went to Maine with my family and this restaurant provided a homey brunch feel. The blueberry pancakes at Jordan's Restaurant are to die for! The wild Maine blueberries are scattered throughout the pancake. The pancakes are fluffy and light with the burst of sweet juicy Maine blueberries in every bite. Next, the omelettes are a savory sensation. Made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, they are a customizable masterpiece. The omelettes are generously portioned and very fluffy and served with a side of toast. Overall, Jordans Restaurant is a must visit restaurant in Bar Harbor.

We decided to give this place a try after receiving the recommendation from a friend. There was plenty of street parking and seating when we arrived on a Saturday morning. The servers were extremely pleasant and the place is a lot bigger than it seemed from the outside. The food was great too. I ordered the hash and eggs because there weren't many alternate options for gluten free customers (pancakes, French toast, waffles) but it was okay! The hash was nice and crispy. I didn't care for the added onions though but not a deal breaker. I have to admit that my mouth watered at the thought of their blueberry pancakes with blueberry syrup. Maybe they'll consider gluten free pancakes in the future. Nonetheless, the food was great and the service was excellent. I'd recommend.

Very typical, mediocre diner experience. The pancakes taste like Bisquick and are undercooked (as other yelpers have said). Coffee is watered down. They *do* have non-dairy milks available so that was appreciated. Food comes quickly. Service was very get-down-to-business, not that friendly like we have experienced at the other places. We had no trouble getting a table around 9am but was quickly filled up soon after that. The ham was a good alternative to sausage and bacon. The breakfast potatoes are very good, but too salty. I would not go back. Don't recommend unless you just are looking for a super traditional small town diner experience. I prefer something a bit more elevated, and there are better places in town in my opinion. This was a disappointment.

Stop by for breakfast before leaving the town and it was a good experience. Good food but overpriced. Egg White Spinach + Feta + Tomato Omelette - Large omelette and a decent amount of feta, but there too many tomatoes and not enough spinach. Rye toast on the side is delicious! It Came with butter but I asked for one without. Super nice just plain toasted as well. Lobster omelette (+ mushroom) had flavor, but there was any lobster in there. Not worth $29! Chili Omelette was good; Love the flavor of the chili of its own, and it went good with the omelette too. Breakfast Sandwich was nice, but quite overpriced. It was pretty small for the amount. Yogurt Parfait - really delicious. Fresh flavorful yogurt and went really well with the granola and the fruit in there. Quite a big potion size as well, but not sure I would say it's worth $14. Blueberry Pancakes - Very very big disappointment! Very flat, and not fluffy at all! Barely any blueberries, and even the pancake batter was very pain. Tried to add the syrup that was on the table, but it did not help. But I did not help either. Took some of the yogurt from my husband's yogurt parfait and that's what made it acceptable. Blueberry Muffins were a little too sweet :(

Cute little family owned restaurant with fantastic food. We ordered the lobster omelet with the blueberry muffin and the bacon and tomato quiche with a side of home style fries. The lobster omelet was tasty although it could have used a little more lobster. Our server brought over a local blueberry habanero hot sauce that elevates the dish! The blueberry muffin was tasty although I felt it was a little dry. The quiche was eggy and not dry at all. The crust was buttery and flaky. At first, I initially wished that there were hashed browns but these home style fries are amazing! They are soft and seasoned well. I truly don't know how the chefs do it - you don't have to wait long for your meal but the servers are calling out the orders and the chefs don't write anything down and churn out the meals quickly! I would highly recommend this for breakfast!

Great blueberry pancakes. Large portions. Eggs and bacon were good too. Quick service.

Given the reviews and ratings we were looking forward to Jordan's as our first breakfast in town. However, the novelty quickly wore off. One plate of blueberry pancakes (which is 2 pancakes and nothing else -$14 ), a bacon & cheddar omelette with wheat toast ($14) and a single blueberry pancake ($7.39), one coffee and one water - $41.01. While the service to seat us and take our order was quick, the quality of food and follow up service was lacking. The plate of 2 pancakes looked amazing, while my single plate pancake was thin, soggy and not done throughout. My bacon and cheddar omelette was like something you'd see on a food network challenge, but not in the inspirational way. The omelette was wrapped around full pieces of bacon and then the cheddar was just melted in the top. Cutting it was difficult and hard to get all three ingredients together in a bite. Our server (and other servers) came by a couple times to fill the coffee but not a single person offered to fill my water which had been out since the food came so I ate my entire meal without a drink. It wasn't until our server literally dropped the check on the table and collected the plates that she asked if she could fill the water. Maybe they were just having an off morning, but it isn't an exaggeration that a McDonalds breakfast platter would have been equal or better quality. It could have just been an off day, but between the quality and presentation of the food coupled with the service and the cost would keep me from returning.

After my failed attempt at seeing the sunrise at Cadillac mountain, I wanted to treat myself and came to this place. In my previous visit to Bar Harbor, I kept on seeing this restaurant, and I wanted to try it, but my other family members did not feel like blueberry pancakes. Well, I am by myself, and there's not many places that are open super early. This must be one of the earliest opening place here, at 5AM opening time. They were not kidding when they said 50s vibes, the diner look is real, and it doesn't look new, but doesn't look run down either. Was greeted by nice lady in the middle of the diner who runs the register - you don't pay at the table, but you bring on your way out - Korean style or maybe that what they did in 50s. A gentleman came with water and asked me if I wanted coffee, of course and he went and came back with coffee that was pretty good. Ordered blueberry pancakes with blueberry syrup that set me back $15. ouch.. yeah.. there's a reason why we didn't come here. but looked glorious. I probably would have split with another person, but I decided eat everything myself including butter. The blueberry syrup comes in a small plastic container, it looks small, but is plenty for the two pancakes you get. Now I will got take a nap. people were pleasant and it was easy good breakfast. pretty busy, but the food came out in reasonable time.

Family favorite for 25+ yrs. Order of Blues. Side of bacon Great Coffee. Omelets, lunch too.

Blueberries. Blueberries. Blueberries. In a state that's all about the blueberries...the blueberry pancakes were not cooked well. They tasted underdone. Their blueberry muffin was also underdone. Not good at all. The home fries were watery. The place has that small town diner experience, but the food was awful.

Even though it was a busy Saturday, no wait for 4! Got the blueberry pancakes (OF COURSE) and the quiche, both phenomenal. Even had to snag some of the blueberry syrup to bring home with me up at the register when I paid. Server was so friendly and helpful, gave us awesome tips for around the area. Will be back

Mediocre service, overpriced, and overrated. Jordan's claims to have the best blueberry pancakes in town and that's not the case at all. These were the worst blueberry pancakes we had after trying 4 different spots. For the quality, the price was too high and I feel like they use their false claim as a way to hike up prices even more. The rest of our food was just okay. Nothing special. Try the other breakfast spots in town.

This is a great restaurant. The food including the omelets, chicken salad, grilled chicken were excellent. The blueberry jam is freshly made and fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place. The service was very friendly and prompt.

Great family owned and operated restaurant. Owners greet and cook, truly family oriented. Great breakfast and friendly servers keep your water and coffee filled. Definitely check this place out. This is where the locals go.

Def a bad harbor must. Maine blueberry pancakes. They also have amazing hot chocolate. They crank out food so your wait is super short.

Really lovely staff and great breakfast! Detailed breakdown below: **Service, 5/5** Even though they were packed, we got seated in about 15 minutes. Once seated, our waitress took great care of us :) **Decor & cleanliness, 4/5** Older decor so not super cozy or modern, but it's still cute! **Price & portion, 5/5** Portions are massive and great for sharing family style so you can try more stuff. **Taste of the food, 4/5** - Quiche of the day, 3/5: Tomato and bacon quiche -- it was mostly tomato and I couldn't taste much of the crust or the egg filling. The cheese crust on top I also wasn't the biggest fan of. - Maine omelet, 4.5/5: Filled to the brim and very satisfying, but I'd say this is more impressive bc of the portion size than the taste. Still enjoyed it though! Toast was good and potatoes were alright. - Blueberry pancakes w blueberry syrup, 4/5: The syrup is more of a jam and isn't very sweet, but that's no problem. Pancakes are fluffy! - Blueberry muffin, 5/5: Fluffy, warm, and good flavor.

Busy place with outgoing waitresses. Coffee was good in a nice mug. Blueberry pancakes are delicious with blueberry syrup.

Good bacon egg and cheese. Blueberry pancakes and muffins were ok, not great. Good coffee. Old school family diner vibe. This is where the locals go. Affordable. Friendly service. Food came quickly. One of the few places open early.
