Island Take Out

Dining★ 4.8
Takeout restaurant kitchen in Acadia National Park featuring stainless steel prep counters and open service area.

The Lobster Roll bursts with briny Maine lobster tucked into a soft bun, option for hot butter or cold mayo. I.T.O Jerk Chicken Club brings slow-cooked chicken and a pineapple aioli for a bright, tangy kick. Blackened Haddock Sandwich delivers a coastal, savory bite with well-seasoned fish on fresh bread. Plastic box, paper plate, and a casual outdoor picnic vibe keep the energy friendly after a hike.
