Jade Palace Restaurant

I recently had family business to deal with and dropped in for a couple of beers. But that's not…read morethe whole story. On July 5th, I walked in and the place was packed. 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).

First off our server Anah was amazing. She gave us tips on the menu, she was super attentive and so…read morefriendly. That made our visit special. The food was so good. We had the tornado shrimp appetizer, the pork chop, steak tips, the haddock, tacos and spicy chicken sandwhich. Everyone enjoyed their food and the drinks were good too! Great job to all.

I have tried several restaurants from Houlton to Caribou since I moved up to Aroostook County last Summer and there has not been much to write home about. I ordered the Shrimp Alfredo and it came with sauteed Broccoli and Texas Toast and it was really fantastic! I also ordered a side Garden Salad and you would figure, "what could be the big deal with a salad" however, I CAN tell you this salad had everything including 2 kinds of peppers and an array of color throughout and they used iceberg lettuce which I love and the Italian Dressing was outstanding! The whole meal ran me around $20 and I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Small place, tucked away but if you want truly fresh food in a warm surroundings, try this place out! 5 Stars!

I've been going to Houlton for a good 25 years and have never been to Presque Isle so my hubby and I set out on a car trip for 45 minutes. Drive was nice and it was sweetened by meeting up with friends from Rangeley who were up snowmobiling. They recommended meeting up at Ferris BBQ so we put in the GPS and off we went. Ample parking, clear signage, and entrance clearly marked. Found our friends at the bar waiting for us. Bartender came right up after we said our hellos, gave us menus and told us what the specials were. We had had a late breakfast so not really all that hungry. We looked at the menu and decided to share the Brisket nacho fries. I enjoyed perhaps a little too much their specialty margarita "chocolate covered strawberry" oh my! I had two they were sooo good. The chocolate rim was semi sweet chocolate with sea salt yum! The Brisket nacho fries were amazing. The brisket was super tender, almost melted in my mouth so good. Fries were crispy on the outside and smooth on the inside. We dove in so fast and was having such a good conversation a picture of the nachos is missing. Decor was BBQ type theme with metal signage with cute sayings. Ample tables and a good sized bar. Friendly staff and good food, I'll have to come back again in the summer when we visit again.

Bar Tender did it justice and was awesome. Now the Mac & Cheese Bites.... Really their recipe or something from the box and just fried? Too much alike but they were good none the less. Ordered the Pizza to go which was a good idea since the Old Fashioned was hitting a little harder than expected. Pizza was not near as good as I expected. Sorry to say it but this is weak. A bunch of precut veggies, sauce that needs a kick in the ass and a crust that is potentially preformed? C'Mon Man! It's easy food and not a handmade pie. Might be good for Maine but .... Yeah.
