The House Along the Pond
The Jordan Pond House dates all the way back to 1847! The house was originally owned by the Jordan Family of Seal Harbor for whom the House and The Pond are named after. The house was founded as a restaurant in the early 1870's. However, in 1979 the original pond house was destroyed and then, rebuilt. The pond house has a history of many owners starting with the Jordan Family and ending with the Acadia Corporation and a small group of locals.
Believable Prices for Unbelievable Meals
With the highest single entree being exactly $20, it is almost as if you are stealing from them. The food we've eaten was extremely delicious (Popover a la Mode). Did you know, The Jordan Pond house serves Over +2000 Popovers each afternoon?! If you can't tell by now, The Jordan Pond House is known for its "Popovers", which are a light, fluffy, hollow pastry which is made from scratch in the house kitchen. The popovers can come with almost every meal, which, I think, makes everyone very pleased, although, the popovers can be a meal in themselves! Out of everything I have tried there, there are three that you have to try. They are the Cappuccino and Popovers, Popover a la Mode, and The Double Rich Brownie a la Mode with a popover. So write those down on a piece of paper and don't forget! Trust me on this one, I've tasted tons of desserts and cappuccinos and I've never tasted anything better, and if your worried about the calories, just ride bike down to the pond house, eat, and then ride back!
