Bucksport Waterfront Restaurant – Casual American Comfort Food by

Interior of a waterfront dining room in Acadia National Park, with wooden tables, booths, ceiling fans, and patrons enjoying meals.

The corned beef hash cracks at the crust with a tender center, while the Philly omelet stays fluffy and savory. The lobster roll stays bright and briny, stretched across a deck with water in sight. Waterfront views of Fort Knox and the Penobscot Bridge crown a generous, comfort-forward morning bite.
