Overview

About This Establishment

Colonel's Restaurant and Bakery is a casual, family-friendly spot in Acadia with a seafood-forward American menu. The lobster quesadilla bursts with local lobster, while the seafood pizza collars the plate with briny topping and a sturdy crust. Don’t miss the bakery’s blueberry donuts, but arrive early or they’ll vanish. Expect friendly service and solid value, with occasional slowdowns when the dining room fills up.
