We received a great tip from a couple who had frequented this restaurant that I would like to pass on to future patrons "As a couple, order the sampler to split. Only rookies order one for each person!" Wow were they right! The sample included pulled pork, ribs, chicken, sausage, baked beans, cole slaw and potato salad. And Im not just saying samples of those meats. There was a full italian sausage, at least 1/2 pulled pork meat, half of a chicken breast, and a half slab of ribs! Each of the sides were at least a half of a cup. It was almost more food than both my husband and I could conquer!! (Oh, and the meal came with corn bread!) And every morsel was delicious. To add to this amazing meal was the blueberry soda! YUM! I believe this soda was brewed on the spot, and it rocks. My favorite part of this dinner: the sampler platter was only fifteen bucks. Hands down the cheapest meal we had on MDI. And one of the very best!! After enjoying our meal at Mainly Meats, we headed over for the brewery tour and tasting at Atlantic Brewery (same owners, next door). The tour was exceptionally crowded and I didnt hear much of what he said, but from what I could hear the young man giving the tour did seem very excited and knowledgeable about the products and how theyre made. It was very interesting to hear and see what a small building can produce!! The brew tasting was very much our favorite part of the tour. With five beers to try and two sodas, it lasted quite awhile and was so much fun. I discovered I am NOT an IPA person, but I loved their blueberry ale! If you like beer at all, even just a little, this stop is absolutely worth it!

August 2010 we went here (Knox) at the suggestion of our B&B. I will never set foot on their property again. Its seat yourself, which we did. 3x servers walked by, smiled, and said theyd be with us. It takes a lot for me to get impatient, but 25 minutes later, no one had even come for a drink order and now the servers seems to be ignoring us. We saw 6 tables from 2-6 people all sat and received drinks by this time - all of them arrived AFTER us. We stormed out of there, I slammed the menu onto the counter and the owner came out and asked me if I had a &^$%ing problem. I told him wed been there 25 mins and got no service. He said "Cant you see were *&%ing busy?" and my wife told him "busy enough to serve 6 tables that arrived after us?" He said a gruff "well sorry" and stormed back to the building to which I said "yeah so I do have a &^%$ing problem" We obviously left for good and will stick to lobster pounds in Maine from now on.

I have been eating at Mainely Meats for a number of years and have always enjoyed the food an atmosphere. However, this evening was an terrible experience. The waitress was very brusque in the beginning and did not listen to the initial order. Food was still good, but then we were double charged for the order (I expect mistakes, and this may have been forgiven if it wasnt for everything else). Meanwhile an ordered beer was never served and we could no longer get the attention of our waiter. When we finally did get the bill straightened around, we were berated for ordering food before drinks, and told that from now on we are to order drinks first. Needless to say we probably wont be back even after all of our previously good experiences.

Tried all of the meats on the menu. The ribs and chicken are great. The beans and cornbread are also fantastic. Being from Kansas City and St. Louis, we are well versed in BBQ, and we can say that although a slightly different style, it is still excellent barbeque. If you like smoked meat, go here! Good vaule for the Bar Harbor area. Waitress was very helpful and friendly. They also have great beer provided by the Atlantic Brewing Company, which is on the same property.

Not recommended if your children actually like BBQ they dont offer kids portions of BBQ just burgers dogs, chicken fingers etc. Stopped here because the family loves BBQ. Read the menu & the kids menu had no BBQ on it so we asked if they could make a kids pulled pork sandwich & they said no. They had hamburger buns & they hate pulled pork, why not? We left every other restaurant I have been to is happy to accomodate special requests.

We caught the 4pm tour of the brewery, had a beer tasting tour, then hit up some bbq. Had a HUGE platter of bbq: pulled pork, sausage, baked beans, chicken (skin on, bone in) and some of the best ribs Ive ever had (and Ive had lotsa southern bbq in the carolinas). This huge platter of which we barely made a dent in, was only $42.00. Well eat off it for days and the sauce is like candy.

Amazing BBQ, fast service, nice informal setting. Went twice on our honeymoon. Both times were excellent. A lot of food at an good price unlike a lot of MDI. Got the sampler one night an the rib special the next. Meat fell off the bone if you picked it up to quickly. Amazing place and its part dot the brewery so it has good beer and even soda. Well worth the stop.

The ribs have a wonderful "bark" on them (technical term for the crust for this style of dry barbeque) and were so tasty I didnt even think of covering them with the standard barbeque sauce. Had the sampler platter which also included chicken, sausage, and pulled pork. Cornbread, cole slaw, and beans were standard sides. This was their Ellsworth location.

Absolutely fantastic barbecue and beer, I recommend the sampler plate. Definitely a great place to eat in Bar Harbor for those of us that dont like seafood. Due to their open seating policy you do have to make sure a waiter/waitress knows you are there when you first come in. However, as long as you understand that you will have excellent service.

The food was not what we expected. Food was not cooked with BBQ sauce. Husband had the chicken was not cook enough. I had the ribs which was smuthered in pepper and burnt on the outside and the middle was raw. We would have returned it but we took it to good back to out motel to eat. Would not recommed this place and will not be back

Incredible pulled pork, and I loved that the sides werent just plain old fries, they give potato salad, coleslaw and baked beans!! Delicious. And a cute little patio outside as well in the summer. It was recommended to us by fellow hikers in Acadia Ntl Park. Dont forget to order a nice Blueberry Beer with your meal!

Excellent BBQ sandwich, just the way I like it! Toasted Texas toast without the BBQ mixed in with the meat. I like to put my own sauce on. The hot sauce mix was just right! Glad we stopped. The place was a little off road but highly recommended by Bar Harbor Manor where we are staying. Loved the place too!
