Great Steaks & Brews
DESCRIPTION: I ate at Jack Russell's on Oct. 11, 2003 and had the best tenderloin I have ever had. The place rocked. Cute bartender, great waitress, and a cool building. They brew their own beer on site (try the Blueberry Ale!).

Jack Russell's
DESCRIPTION: Ate at Jack Russell's in July of 2005....it was the best meal we had the entire week in Bar Harbor. My husband and my two teenage sons agreed! The tenderloin was the best...as well as the Prime Rib.... Wait staff was friendly...and dessert was awesome.... You won't be sorry with this one!!

DESCRIPTION: Although the atmosphere is nice ( as they describe it - Equestrian) and the restaurant was pretty full, our meal was unimpressive. $13.95 bought me a very plain meal of fish and chips, overly battered and fried at a low enough temperature to make the fish greasy. It was difficult to get our waitresses' attention even when she walked right next to our table. The meal presentation was average to below average and came off more tavern or pub-like than the style of the restaurant and prices would have suggested.

Not quite there yet
DESCRIPTION: The atmosphere is nice and the menu range is excellent. Lately prices have increased and quality decreased in the food department. The filet mignon is not a filet - and is way over priced. Chicken is a good, gumbo is good, and the lemon squares are the best Waitstaff is generally friendly and competent.
