Prior to our visit to Bar Harbor we were advised that Jeannie's Great Main Breakfast would be an essential stop. The reports were not exaggerated. The "simple" cafe provides a wide assortment of great breakfast options. The service is great and the staff is able...to really move things along. Because the cafe is so popular the wait can be long. Send someone "early" to get on the list. We also noticed that the "locals" often would order their meals "to go" ahead of time. The bottom line is the experiece is worth the wait.More

This place was queueing out the door with a waiting list so we thought it must be good. It was good. It caters for what I would call a typical American breakfast - pancakes etc and also what Brits prefer - toast, bacon and eggs!...- which we had. The only thing they didn't have and wasn't on the menu was latte coffee - so one star knocked off for that! The wait time was about 30 mins the day were there. It was worth waiting for.More

Checked in online and waited about 45 minutes for a table. The host was kind and remembered our names which is always appreciated. Numerous gluten and dairy free options for those with that type of diet. Enjoyed blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup. The batter...was 'blue' but there weren't as many blueberries in the pancake batter as other places, but they were still very tasty.More

Went here twice while visiting Bar Harbor. First time we had veggie omelettes with their homemade oatmeal bread and home fries. The omelettes and toast were excellent! The make their own strawberry rhubarb jam. It was so good! Home fries were okay. Returned the next...day. Got the blueberry pancakes. They were very disappointing. Super thin, not buttermilk. Very little flavor to them and tasted like a box mix. The next table had the buttermilk pancakes and they looked really good. Wish they made the blueberry pancakes with the buttermilk pancakes and added blueberries to them on the griddle like they do with the chocolate chips. Service both days was excellent! Busy place and you can join the waitlist, which makes it easier to get a table without too long of a wait. Will definitely return next time we are in the area, just won’t get the blueberry pancakes. If they were good, would have given them five stars.More

Jeannie’s Great Maine Breakfast is located in downtown Bar Harbor, Maine. Open early for sunrise viewers. We were roaming Bar Harbor Town and had to leave for NJ before 1 PM. We have not had anything since morning so decided to have breakfast. it was...11 AM and not sure what option we had - we explored a few restaurants but breakfast time had passed. but glad we found this Maine breakfast - breakfast time was till 1 PM (but check out the timing -as everything in this town is seasonal) We got the table and ordered Blueberry pancakes (3 pieces) - Garden Omelet Western Omelet given all the eggs, meats, and dairy in a traditional American breakfast. omelets were quite good with wheat slices of bread... side items are at the table. Service was excellent and friendly, prices were reasonable, and the waiting time was short too. The restroom was clear and also the changing station for babies with all the stuff - good thing...(not something I see in restrooms frequently) As they said their breakfast was BEARYLICIOUS...More

Definitely- gluten free pancakes and they were amazing! The restaurant was accommodating for gluten free and vegetarian diners which was the primary reason we elected to go there.
