This was one of the better smaller local restaurants we stopped at during our Maine route 1 trip in…read morethe northern part of the state. Overall, in the more northern/more rural areas service was more relaxed and slower. The food was also just more average. Compared to some other spots Fort Kent had a decent amount of options and this was the spot we settled on. It was by no means busy during this time of the year and like similar places service was decent, food did come out quickly and our order was taken at a good pace also. The attentiveness was just less than I typically expect especially considering it was not that busy. This place looks like what you would expect from a rural Maine spot and fitting along with the name they have antler chandeliers. Also, an emphasis on wood to give that rustic feel. On to the food; they have a good variety that would make even picky eaters feel like they have options. A huge number of appetizers then salads, burgers, seafood, sandwiches, and desserts. My wife got a bowl of French onion soup and a taco salad while I got their chicken finger luncheon with fries. The taco salad had a great taco seasoning on the meat and the chips tasted fresh. Chicken fingers were tasty with a delicious batter but were surprisingly small. Decent food at decent prices just not any bites I would need to return for. For the area its in, solid but compared to less rural areas I don't think it would stand up.

Just to put it in context to you... my ancestors must have been from the tribe that lived closer to the ocean rather than near a farm lol! Fresh seafood for me is something I really enjoy! So driving by this location I really said to myself I needed to ask if they could ice pack some treats to take back. They had a sign on the window for fresh crab as it was in season. So I decided just to get two crab legs (it's lots of work) as a nice appetizer and some fresh Matane shrimp. The shrimp was $12.49 a pound but. I asked if fresh and the store owner said "oui Monsieur". So I got a small amount of both and was able to eat the crab when. I returned and the shrimp for the next two days with no issue. Both were very fresh and super tasty! Definitely I'd return when in RDL. If you want fresh Seafood in the Rivière Du Loup area it's a great option. They gave me a small bag of ice that worked well in my cooler to keep it fresh. Good stuff!

What I saw was a team that seamlessly worked together to make their customers feel seen and appreciated. It was like I watched an interpretive dance. If the bartender needed (for whatever reason) to step away from the bar, another employee filled her place. I even saw one employee asking the current bartender to teach her how to make a certain drink. I had the cheese curds, and they were so good that I asked for a to-go so I could share it with my family. Someone from the kitchen brought out my order. I said, "Please tell the chef that these are so good that they could be addictive." He smiled and said, "Thank you. I'm the chef." What I learned is that if I have a few sips of beer left in my glass, that's the time to let my server that I want another and perhaps the check (if that's the case).

They were very good at dipping sauce tasted great. I ordered a salad, which was OK and pork filled a bao buns which were very tasty and barbecue juice sauce is not too spicy not too sugary. The whole sauce was very good on the bottom. Just wish it was a bit more. Make sure you have that napkins cause it does leak juice. My Son had the fish and chips.

Our waitress was very attentive, friendly and appeared happy to be there which is adds to a great experience! If you're staying at the Quality Hotel, it's a great option since you don't even have to walk outdoors since they have a walkway overpass.
