Jordan's Restaurant
This unpretentious breakfast-and-lunch joint has been dishing up filling fare since 1976, and offers a glimpse of the old Bar Harbor. It’s a popular haunt of local working folks and retirees, but staff are also friendly to tourists. Diners can settle into a pine booth or at a laminated table and order off the placemat menu, choosing from basic fare such as grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato or slim burgers. The soups and chowders are all homemade, and there are some crab dishes (the only lobster’s in an omelette, on a salad, or on a roll—no shore dinner here). But breakfast is the star, with a broad selection of three-egg omelets, muffins, and pancakes made with plenty of those great wild Maine blueberries (best when they’re in season). With its atmosphere of “seniors at coffee klatch” and its rock-bottom prices, this is not a gourmet experience, but fans of big breakfasts, Americana-style cuisine, and classic diners will enjoy it.
