We saw the Pickled Wrinkle on Ashin the Dirt's itinerary for the schoodic peninsula hikes. We decided to get a late lunch. We had some ciders both the downeast and a local blueberry. Our appetizer was the pretzel bites, which were overcooked, but out entrees...of the burger and the steak sandwich were really good. I think it lived up to its reputation. A lot of cars in the lot, but we were seated right away and service was good.More

This is one of our favorite places to eat when in this area. The food as usual was very good, waitress friendly and efficient and the atmosphere is fun. Even midweek, around 2:00, we had to wait for a table. It is a popular place...and parking can be difficult. We were lucky that somebody pulled out as we were looking for a spot. The wait for a table was not too long. I had a crab roll that was so good. The roll looked homemade and was large. My husband got a steak sandwich that he’s had before and loves. One of the other nice thing about this place is Me and Ben’s ice cream next door.More

The sign out front warned that it might take a long time- that wasn't a good omen. Couldn't quite figure out why they opened for lunch at 1 and not earlier but our options were limited and we were the first few tables in. They...were out of a type of beer and had to run across the street to get lemonade. Food took almost an hour to come out and was not great. Such a cute place with great potential - cut down the menu, make great sandwiches, ditch the lobster, make simpler pizzas. It could be perfect!More

As they are popular enough. Ate there twice. Second time was a short wait in the evening but again worth it. I love the pineapple ham pizza and we also had the lobster flatbread. Staff was all very friendly!

I stopped here for lunch today and was there minutes before they opened at 1 pm. I ordered a lobster roll and slaw. They were out of slaw, so I had fries. The roll was cold, no butter, and the lobster was bland, no sweetness....For $32 lobster roll, that was a pitiful disappointment. Look elsewhere.More

But we waited about an hour on a Sunday night to be seated. (It was a holiday weekend). Not a lot of options so we stayed. The food was definitely good though! Music was kind of loud. Service was very attentive once we were seated.

The Pickled Wrinkle possesses a unique feel of familiarity and friendly atmosphere to Birch Harbor. From the logo designs and live music to the extremely tasteful food this is a must visit. When your finished eating be sure to pop over to Me & Ben’s...Dairy Creme!More

From exotic dishes to comfort foods, the Pickled Wrinkle does it just right. Great fare served quick at reasonable prices by friendly locals like Kiwi. Just right after a visit to the "other side of Acadia." The music this evening was solid gold seventies. A...definite must stop for the adventurous or timid eater!More

Amazing food and service. I ordered the Frazier Point Steak with fries and the fries were perfectly crisp. My Coke and Rum drink was amazing too. Waitress was amazing and would go back. 😃😃

Nice evening to snag outside seats. Wait staff nice and attentive. Burgers were very good. Place gets busy and there’s plenty of parking.

The Pickled Wrinkle is arguably one of our favorite restaurants from our weeklong honeymoon in Maine. Not only did we scope it out ahead of time, but the owners of the cabin we stayed at also recommended them. First of all, as native Wisconsinites, we...are very particular about our cheese curds. These cheese curds were incredible. The breading was delicious, and the curds inside were piping hot but did not stretch and still squeaked. They were utter perfection. We asked for a side of aioli with them and that was the perfect pairing. The fall cocktails were also incredible. The blueberry cosmo was so delicious. That’s a drink you could keep having throughout the night and enjoying. Not too sweet and a great wild blueberry taste! My husband and I shared 2 entrees and both were incredible. The fresh crabmeat roll was the best one we had all week, and the fries were yummy and plentiful (took some home for a late night snack). The scallop flatbread was perfect with the balsamic and bacon. The food, atmosphere, drinks, and staff were incredible. The one regret is that this place is so far from our home!More

This place used to be a local staple but has since sold out to the tourism industry. I gave this place another try despite hearing poor reviews from my local friends. Let me tell you - it is worse than I had expected. We were...left to wait outside for well over an hour with no interaction from the staff. The menu has been changed and the portion sizes have been cut down to a laughable amount. We paid nearly thirty dollars for three tiny crabcakes and a side salad. There are very many good options in the down east area and I would recommend a different establishment if at all possible. I will not be returning again.More
