OK you do get lobstered out. JR gives you your beef fix. Free soft pretzel with mustard was a nice touch. Two wine pours were vastly different. Very nice filet, very bad rib-eye. Excellent thin cut french fries. My rib-eye was tasteless, tough and had gristle running all through it. My wifes filet was good with a good wine/mushroom sauce. more

My wife and I have been repeat customers for years, about 50 min. drive away. Obviously there atre many options for dinner out within that drive. Jack Russel's is a no brainer. Excellent food, top shelf bar, professional wait staff and the best little wine cellar in Maine. Keep up the good work folks, it reflects from the moment you... more

I hate to write a bad review based on one bad experience, but I have to. My wife and I were looking for a place where we could relax and enjoy some drinks while watching the baseball playoffs. When we walked into Jack Russell's, we asked if we could be seated near an electical outlet so we could use our... more

After checking reviews here, we decided to try Jack Russell's. Best steak I've ever had!!!! The outside had a nice "crisp" crust and was so tender it melted in your mouth. I've eaten steaks in every type of restaurant and this was perfection. I had the gorgonzola cream sauce on the side and it was a heavenly finish! My husband... more

My wife and I got tired of the lobster pounds and tried Jack Russell's Steak House and Brewery on Eden St. in Bar Harbor. It's a charming restaurant in an old house (reservations recommended in the busy season). We were situated in a semi-private room with two other couples on the second floor and we were close enough for dinner... more

We had a reservation and still waited. The waitress was rude and annoyed with any questions about the fare. My husbands steak was half fat and not cooked as asked. When he asked the waitress about it she offered no apology - just more annoyance. Half my order was missing - when received the shrimp was soggy. The whole of... more

This place seems to cater to locals and only puts up with the visitors. The host ignores customers waiting for a table with alarming arrogance. The wait service is down right awful and the food was mediocre. Some businesses decide what they want and they seem to want only the locals. Enjoy a better meal some where else if you... more

Loved it, I have no idea of what the other reviewers are talking about. I had the GOrgonzola NY Strip, and it was incredible, however the garlic potatoes could have used some more flavor, and we did not recieve any bread. Those minor issues barely registered a blip as the steak was so good, and the freshly brewed beer was... more

this steak house offers a lot of hype about their great steaks so we tried it and were very let down. Their steaks were of poor quality. We were seated next to the bar which was very loud with locals that were having an unsavory conversation about women. We would not go back. more
