The Docksider

Loved this place, the proprietor, Steve, and the location just above the marina at Northeast Harbor. The food was great! Try the lobster roll - order it hot - with a side of coleslaw and chips or fries. The bread was toasted inside and out, the lobster was very fresh and sweet, and amply provided. The coleslaw was delicious, made in house, and the chips are from Maine and super delicious. My wife had the steak and cheese sandwich with fries, which were piping hot and crispy, right from the fryer, so good. The sandwich was hot and gooey and delicious! The current owners bought the restaurant 4 years ago, disregard older reviews, they are for the prior owners.

We stumbled upon The Docksider after visiting ANP. How lucky! First of all, it’s adorable!. We dined on the patio. The booths inside appear to be original but are just perfect. It was spic and span clean, with a cute little bar. Now for the best part, the food. This was the BEST lobster roll we’ve ever had. The lobster was fresh (it’s hand picked daily) and the yummy toasted roll was bursting with lobster meat. We are still raving about it! We also found their clam chowder to be the best one we’ve had in Maine. It was the perfect consistency, not think and goopy! And, we didn’t have to search for real clams in it. Yummy! The owners truly care about quality. They were also very gracious and attentive. So, if you are tired of the Bar Harbor crowds and clatter, drive out to Southeast Harbo

Found this place on a whim after our hike around Little Long Pond. We were tired and hungry, this place did not disappoint! Got there around 1:30 and it was not busy at all. Service was great and they even gave a mini lobster show/lesson to my sons (which they loved!). The raw oysters were delicious, lobster & crab rolls were also fantastic! Beer selection was also great, we even were offered samples of the local beers. Great place all around! Highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Docksider and it was an absolute delight. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly and attentive service. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing easy meal. We had the option of dining inside or out. The seafood dishes were so fresh and flavorful. We had clams, scallops, haddock, fries and all I would try again. I’m planning on going back to get a lobster roll and icecream!

Stopped in for a late lunch after biking in Acadia. Great relaxed vibe (we sat outside) - Grateful Dead playing on the sound system. Had a beer, fresh raw oysters, and some lobster bisque. They were the BEST raw oysters I've ever had! Really great little place.
