About
This steakhouse and Bailey Island Bridge (Cribstone Bridge) can be both really attractive for tourists. Cook's Lobster & Ale House serves good haddock, fish & chips and clam chowder. Nothing can be better than trying tasty blueberry pie, candied walnut and vanilla ice cream. Delicious draft beer, ale or craft beer are among the best drinks to order. You will be offered good tea. Live music is performed by musicians in the evening. Friendly employees welcome people all year round. A lot of reviewers think that prices are adequate for what you get. The cute decor and enjoyable atmosphere let clients feel relaxed here. This place is ranked 4.4 within the Google grading system.

Tons of gluten free options, gluten free fryer, and super allergy friendly overall (even for folks with seafood allergies). Beautiful view, super AWESOME STAFF, a great time, can't wait to visit again! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
The crab wagons were homemade and delicious af! The lobster stew was great too! We also had the lobster roll with chips! You can get fries too but chips just gives your the crunch satisfaction you need at the end of a meal! Try the Atlantic Brewing company Bar Harbor Blueberry Ale! It's so good! They have a pretty cool brewery in Bar Harbor too! Our waiter was really nice and gave great recommendations! This was one of our favorite places outside of Portland, Maine! Can't wait to come back!

The best French Onion Soup I have ever had!! The Seafood platter was delicious and generous portions. Excellent customer service. When back in town will definitely return:) Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Haddock Sandwich
We went to Cook's for the first time on a date, in the 1980's, and have returned every time we visit the area. Several visits were for anniversaries, as was this. The lobster here is excellent, as are the sides, soup and appetizers. Our server was very friendly and efficient, despite it being crowded. The photos are from our most-recent visit, and a past year's anniversary. Good times.

Really great place. Service was wonderful, food was delicious. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Lobster Wontons
We rented a lovely house on Bailey Island for a week, and have been enjoying home cooked meals. With a Special Needs son with Autism, there are many days when it is just easier to stay home for dinner. Cook's had a lovely spot and well, it's a Lobster place in Maine, so we headed out. Yes, great food, great atmosphere, great music, but we REALLY appreciated how the Staff treated our son. His dietary issues are complex, and we had to send two things back. Our Servers were genuinely supportive, and while we did leave a nice tip, I hope that many future customers see this review. It is a great place with great people. Genuine appreciation from Team Sweeney. #AeternusUmbra (watch forever) Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Very cool spot with lots of scenic views, friendly staff, and which also doubles as a launch point for various charter schooner/ship tours. Parking can be a bit chaotic during peak business but you can usually find a spot, it’s just hard to navigate through the pedestrians meandering around outside. The decor inside is very “Maine Coastal/Nautical” which is fun. The bathrooms are small but relatively clean. I had to wait about ten minutes to get into the stall.

Cooks Lobster & Ale House, Bailey island, Maine. If your ever on Bailey island try Cooks fish and chips (French fries) cribstone red beer battered fresh haddock pieces served with French fries. Tarter or cocktail sauce. Fresh fish lightly deep fried. 8oz bistro sirloin steak,grilled to order ,served with French fries. Also ordered whole belly clams lightly corn battered and again this was served with French fries,market price today @$38.00. we noticed alot of these dishes are served with French fries, there should be more sides available like rice,potato gratinee ,fish chowder etc would add balance/variety to the meal. $$$$ open Wednesday-Sunday Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+ Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
First time and meal in preparation for out of town guests. Sat outon the deck at umbrella table..Ordered the Sweet Tea, Fresh Oysters on half shell (6), Bacon wrapped Scallops (6) & Pan blackened Haddock sandwich w/ chips & pickle. Total: $ 61. Oysters @MP of $3/Oyster: Served on ice bed w/fresh lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, & another untried condiment. Oysters were fat, cold, & absolutely delicious - could have enjoyed many more. Scallops were quite delicious served on a drizzle of an unknown sweet sauce. Haddock very good - I did not care for the cumin taste of the side Mayo dressing so I used the horseradish cocktail sauce left over from the oysters. The only irritant was the blasting noise level from the bar area..so I took off 1 star under atmosphere. The location is lovely - could not ask for better. Very pleased with the decision to scout this establishment. Just expect many "MP" items and bring the Gold card. 😆 😂 Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

Cook's is the real Down East deal. Everything exceeded expectations, including the lobster, the Haddock sandwich and especially the blueberry pie. Fast and efficient service and reasonable prices; strongly recommend. Our only regret is we couldn't taste everything on the menu. Get there early and bring your Visa card. It's very popular, and as far as we know they still don't take American Express.
