CapodePizza / TripAdvisor This seasonal restaurant won’t be able to feed you during the winter, but that’s just as well. The food is so filling you might not be hungry until they’re open again in the spring! Order the ribeye or the surf and turf and you’ll be glad you did. The Steakhouse, 1205 Post Rd, Wells, ME 04090, USA

Aka / Google While Bar Harbor might not really be considered a small town, it definitely passes the test when compared to other states. This steakhouse is busy year-round, even when tourists have long gone back home. And for good reason! Everyone loves the Jack Russell’s Signature Steak, which can include filet mignon, New York sirloin, or ribeye. Jack Russell’s Steakhouse and Brewery, 102 Eden St, Bar Harbor, ME 04609, USA
