Fun concept, small portions

When scouring for the best lobster roll on MDI, my husband and I stumbled upon Stadium. While the set up is a bit odd (gift shop in front, order food on back, eat on second floor) everything was well maintained,and the menu was enticing. The...most interesting part of this restaurant though, and I think it's so clever, is the customization of the lobster roll. Everyone has had warm and cold,mayo or butter. But THIS was adding flavors like sriracha, remoulade, and basil. What. A. Concept. You could eat there every day for a week and have a seemingly different meal each time! And man, the remoulade was good. Slight bit of spice, slight bit of crunch, and a while lot of yummy. I also had the blueberry turnover which tasted as homemade as anything I've ever had in bar harbor. And you can really tell when it's from a corn syrup dropped can. Downside? Portion to price ratio was a bit high,but I did get a bag of chips at least with it. Upstairs atmosphere was also very..wood cabin, but I gotta imagine it's a great spot to watch a game. Overall, I love the variety they're bringing to the game, I just wish enhanced portion sizes were as well.More

Worth the visit

We ate here while staying in bar harbor for weekend. It was a beautiful day so we ordered take out to sit by the harbor. The restaurant/ store is clean, bright and inviting. Our order was taken efficiently and friendly!. The clam chowder was amazing!!...Large chunks of clams with just the right seasoning. The store also has nice selection of t-shirts and small gifts. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend!!More

Wow. This place was the best

Wow. This place was the best experience. Lobster rolls and the BLT with lobster best we ever had. The clam chowder was hot and delish on a cold rainy night. The staff were friendly and helpful in answering all our questions and we definitely felt...safe with the level of cleanliness and attention to detail. After we filled our bellies we left with some wonderful items from the bakery case for the morning hike. The Apple and blueberry turnovers were great and the cookies devoured by my husband. The best were the hot blueberry muffins from the oven. Loaded with blueberries and large enough to share although we got our own. Even picked up a few items from the retail shop to take home. We cannot wait to come back next year. Stadium never disappoints!More

Excellent way to serve lobster!

Excellent way to serve lobster! Fresh lobster a little butter on a bun, no hiding the flavor of the lobster with other ingredients. Very friendly staff. Would certainly come back!

Great food!

Food was great but we decided to eat in rather than take out because the girl at the counter told us there was outdoor roof top dining with water views but there isn't! Thankfully the food was great so we didn't mind.

The staff are really friendly.

The staff are really friendly. Our first time to eat here. Ordered the stadium lobster and a lobster bisque with meat added. Both were good but not great. We really did enjoy the wine slushes they sale! Highly recommend the wine slush.

Thought it was another souvenir store!

EXCELLENT!!!! The front entry to this place looked like another souvenir store. We saw the sign which stated they had lobster rolls. So glad we went in. My husband had the extra loaded lobster roll. Had melted butter and mayo on it. Best lobster roll...we have had in Maine. I had the lobster bisque with extra lobster in it. OMG! The best lobster bisque I have ever had. It was served with hot home made cornbread and they placed a wrapped butter pat on top then a lid. The butter was nicely softened for the cornbread. Wish we had found this place earlier in our vacation. Also wish they served full lobster dinners but due to COVID they have put it on hold. Also serves beer.More

Excellent Lobster Roll, great staff and ownership!

Came her on our last day of a 4-day stay in Bar Harbor. Tried different lobster rolls every day for lunch at different restaurants. Tried this place just before leaving town. Lobster roll was delicious. Owner took time to come upstairs and talk about our...stay and was extremely interested in how his lobster roll compared to others, and even asked us "What could he do better?". His maple butter is fantastic, make sure you try this, and they bake their own rolls. We hadn't been here since just after they opened in July 2018. Sorry they don't really have the bar anymore, but they are doing what they can under the current conditions. Even have some nice tourist gifts on main floor. Wish they were serving Whole Lobster dinners, as they looked excellent, but that is also on hold during pandemic. Look forward to returning here in July 2022!More
