TRYING THE BEST FOOD IN BAR HARBOR, MAINE (lobster rolls, blueberry pie, popovers)

[@davidtarbell3888]

I'm a born-and-raised New Englander (dad was from Maine), now living in the Pacific Northwest and this video REALLY made me miss visits to the coast of Maine! Thank you for sharing, and maybe inspiring a return visit soon.

[@stephanygiraldo4787]

Yay so happy to see the both of you again!!!🥹🫶🏼

[@georgeandcris]

AHHH TYSM STEPH!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@65RettasTravels]

Great video guys!! Loved it.

[@cindycruz6048]

Hahahaha! Georgie's face with the cold lobster roll was #awesome!

[@georgeandcris]

Let’s just say it wasn’t his favorite! 🤣🤣

[@BrianJohnson-bq9tr]

Thank you for your terrific video. My girlfriend is heading there later this month (without me) and she has always wanted to visit Bar Harbour....sorry, Canadian spelling. You've just gained a subscriber. Keep 'em coming

[@georgeandcris]

🥹 thank you so much for watching and supporting, Brian!!! We hope that your girlfriend has a fantastic time and that one day the two of you will be able to go back together! ❤️

[@Ihavenoideawhatthisevenis]

Heck yes! So glad seeing you two again! :)

[@georgeandcris]

Oh my gosh thank you Shannon!! it’s so good to be back! Exciting things coming soon! 🤫 🤗

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

Love the energy and flow if the video. Lol first Lobster Roll can take some time. I'd love to see y'all try the popovers from the Asticou and the Stadium. See which one is the best. You did well showcasing some great spots on MDI. Something that I definitely appreciate having been up here for 6 Summers.

[@georgeandcris]

Thank you!! ☺️ Yes, that cold lobster roll is going to take some time to get used to. 😂 Popovers are one of our new favorite things- we want to try them all! 😋 And being that you’ve been going for six summers we’ll definitely take your recommendation next time we go. Thanks, again, for watching and commenting. Means so much! 😊

[@unapologeticallyromel7096]

I been binge watching your channel 💕 God bless

[@pepperwatson7784]

Love the video More more more more

[@1187shane]

I live on an island just off the coast of bar harbor. Its always fascinating to me watching people experience my neck of the woods. Next time you're in the area you need to have an authentic lobster boil on the beach. I'd be more then happy to do that for you if its something you guys are interested in.

[@georgeandcris]

Hey Shane! That is so kind of you to offer! ☺️ sounds like so much fun, we hope to be back to visit in the fall!

[@storytam798]

Are there warm lobster rolls in the city of Bar Harbor? Having such a hard time finding one.

[@botanicaltreasures2408]

I'm headed to Bar Harbor soon. I appreciate the hot lobster tip since I'm not that used to seafood. Have a great day!

[@georgeandcris]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video, we appreciate you! You’re going to love Bar Harbor 🤍😋

[@WARRENDONLEY]

Heading this way from New Orleans with the family in May , thanks for the recommendations. looks like I'll be dropping some cash on lobster rolls, I love them.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Thank you for your service. You ate the popover like a marine.

[@Ihavenoideawhatthisevenis]

George's hair is always on point🔥mine could never

[@georgeandcris]

🤣 you are too kind!!!

[@matthewm3912]

We went to coastal maine just this last May. Aside from the amazing trip we had, my experience was that the lobster roll was the biggest let down of the whole trip. I had seen so many video talking about HOW AMAZING they were...well 36 dollars later after biting into a cold soggy roll...i was beyond dissapointed. We went to one of the best known lober roll shacks too. Who wants to bite into cold, wet, chewy lobster?!? I was expecting the lobster to be freshly steamed and warm...not the case. To each their own i guess.

[@kyrathemetalgirl94]

I’ll be working at Jordan pond house this summer!

[@evanisgar2417]

Here is what I learned just getting back from Maine for a week. There two major styles of lobster rolls. The Maine lobster roll is going to be served cold with a toasted bun and light mayo. The Connecticut lobster roll is warm and buttery. The lobster roll from Maine is the cold lobster salad you see at the grocery stores. It is tasty but not worth buying more than once in a life unless you love cold seafood on warm bread

[@georgeandcris]

Cool! We prefer the warm buttery ones 🤤

[@Riks718]

Heading to Baaaa Haaabah in two weeks. Will definitely try out some of these

[@evanisgar2417]

The average price for a lobster roll should always be included in these type of videos. In Bar Harbor they go for close to 40 dollars. And it’s cold lobster on a hot dog bun that’s all. Down the road ten mins away it’s $25 -$30 for one roll. My suggestion is ordering an entire lobster platter and asking for a roll on the side. That’s about 45 dollars but comes with so much more

[@georgeandcris]

Hey Evan! We agree the prices should be included! That’s why we included ours 😊 thanks so much for the tip about a more affordable one down the road! We will definitely hit that up next time we go 😋

[@angiecutler2619]

Oh wow y'all are in my home state!! Hope you loved it

[@angiecutler2619]

Oh...and btw..my mom made popovers every Christmas...they are AMAZING!

[@georgeandcris]

Oh we LOVED it! We underestimated the beauty that Maine has to offer. 😍Definitely planning on going back!

[@georgeandcris]

YUMMY! We need to try and make them because we’re obsessed. 🤤

[@CarrieklassenRealtor]

The blueberry pie was at a place called Stadium, right? Just not seeing it on their online menu. :)

[@georgeandcris]

Yes! Stadium 🥰 they always have them in the front behind the glass at the counter ❤️

[@spayne062009]

I need to go to Maine asap!!

[@georgeandcris]

Yes you do!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@djrickysmith]

Number 1.. The Hot Butter Lobster Roll Started in Milford Connecticut .. Go to the 7 Seas in Milford and try the Original Hot buttered Lobster Roll.

[@Mugsmaster]

I can’t stand mayonnaise. Are there any options for the rolls without mayo?

[@georgeandcris]

Yes! The hot roll we tried @7:38 in the video is a hot, buttered lobster roll no mayo! 😍 my favorite one.

[@danite22]

And we know it's the best popover, the best lobster roll, and the best blueberry pie in Bar Harbor because we tried one of each, the one that was recommended in every other KZbin video on line.

[@georgeandcris]

The best!! So glad you got to try them all! Making us want to go back and have another Bar Harbor food day 🤤🤤

[@Ihavenoideawhatthisevenis]

You both look so lovley btw!

[@georgeandcris]

😭 Shannon you always know how to make our day!!! Thank you ☺️

[@Mugsmaster]

Yep! But somebody needs to tell George to wash his hair.

[@Ihavenoideawhatthisevenis]

@@Mugsmaster well, I'm pretty sure he has naturally curly hair, and when you do, there's a lot of things used for the up keep. It's probably just frazzled and just looks "dirty" but it's probably just the product

[@David-jo4gt]

Did you say $42.00 for a lobster roll?

[@georgeandcris]

Yup! You heard that right 😅

[@ellesasa1816]

awsome vlog

[@georgeandcris]

Thank you, Elle! We really appreciate you watching and commenting. ☺️

[@madeleinedaniels4972]

Lobster rolls, corn, baked bean,and blue berry pie. Not a fan of the prestation but so cool to see the food fate.

[@srkh8966]

Pro tip: the popovers at the Asticou Inn, Northeast Harbor, are just as delicious and you can make reservations

[@georgeandcris]

Ahhh thank you for the tip! We will definitely check it out when we go back! 😊

[@srkh8966]

Hi

[@mrsbussypussy3598]

Maine has the best food. Anywhere in the USA. Period. I know I'm from agusta.

[@georgeandcris]

We LOVED the food there!

[@SSGDevelopment]

You should pay a visit to my friend dima,tell him the sole survivor sent you.

[@TruckEnthusiastYT]

Don’t forget about Red’s Eats!

[@georgeandcris]

We didn’t get to try Red Eats! Just looked it up online. 😍 Next time!

[@srkh8966]

That’s not in Bar Harbor or Mt. Desert Island

[@run4cmt]

-Girl, it is really bad manners to shove a whole popover in your mouth and take a big bite. Break off a bite sized piece at at time.

[@glennasandhoff245]

It wasn’t for me either.

[@mathewtsillis2271]

I just came back from Bar Harbor. Was a bit disappointed with the lobster rolls. First and foremost very pricey. Even at lobster shacks. You are going to pay between 30-40 bucks for abt 4oz of lobster meat on a hot dog bun (probably a bit smaller then most hotdog buns). Second most are served cold and not warm (this preference of course). I also noticed the buns, on the inside are kinda perked up, the bread that is, giving the illusion that the buns are small but bursting with lobster meat but that’s not the case. I live in NY and I go to a restaurant out in Mattituk that makes lobster rolls that would put those in Maine to shame. Triple the size, and cheaper by a few bucks. And this restaurant not even known for lobster rolls. The whole lobster is in the roll. The Maine lobster rolls are not lacking flavor though and Bar Harbor beautiful nonetheless!

[@georgeandcris]

We would have to agree about them being pricey. We didn’t expect that. And after trying both hot and cold rolls we both said we preferred the hot. It sounds like you have a good lobster spot though! We may ask for more details if we make our way to NY. 😂

[@run4cmt]

It is so off putting that you both take a bite and then talk with your mouths full of food.

[@evi7834]

Manes food reviews is a better channel than yall, start learning from them

[@michaelrayel4160]

If you don't like lobster, I would consider you disqualified to review bar harbor food

[@georgeandcris]

George says touché 😂

[@adarajennifer]

Nice video, but perhaps next time, you might try not talking with a mouthful of food. 😉

[@elianacervantes8596]

Stop chewing with your mouth full

[@georgeandcris]

That’s actually the only time I DO chew. 🤔😂 but you probably meant talking** 😉
