Service was quick and friendly on a slow Saturday night. Tenders come in two sizes, half pound or…read morefull pound. Felt like an over achiever and went for the full pound. Not a typical over breaded tender, light hand coating with choice of house, ranch, buffalo, sweet chili or house sauces. Fries are an additional side if desired. Plenty of drinks to choose from to quench your thirst as well. Quiet bar vibe, on this visit, to enjoy a quick bite while running errands!

Nice place to relax and have a good meal. Service has always been good and attentive.read more

I enjoyed the quirky decor some with a Karen like quips. This place has its locals and to me that was a good sign that his Karen can run a restaurant. I have to support this Karen because running a restaurant in this very far away border town cannot be easy.

Great stop from a SxS outing here to take the rumbling hangriness! Plenty of parking out front for…read morecars or your SxS. Service was great for our rowdy group. Plenty of things to keep the team busy between shuffleboard, darts, karaoke or instruments (piano and guitars). Food was quick even with a large group. It was full of flavor and hit the spot prior to returning on our journey. If you are off the beaten path, find the Nook & Cranny and they will take care of your dining needs snd you can have a little fun while waiting as well!

We've spotted this place on many drives up through Calais into Canada, and honestly never gave it…read moremuch thought. It turns out that was a huge mistake: don't judge a book by its cover, and don't judge a restaurant by the facade. The full parking lot should have been the tip-off: this is genuinely great food, prepared by a chef-owner with four decades of high-end experience. You'd be amazed to learn that this little unassuming place is a 100-percent scratch kitchen, turning out both ambitious plates and satisfying, elevated "comfort" food. The wait staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. But the food? Next level. Really. My steak was flawless. My wife's meal was great too... This place is well-worth a stop or even a detour to enjoy scratch cooking from a talented chef. There's live music on Friday's and they support community causes, too, which makes it all even better.

We had to run to Calais to go the a hardware store, we're starving , we drove over an hour and this…read moreplace was the nearest restaurant so we stopped! What an absolute hidden gem! The inside was decorated so cute! BUT THAT SANDWICH! Wow I got a steak sandwich and being from Philly is always hit or miss, but let me tell you, this was hands down the best sandwich I've ever had, so simple, so delicious. I haven't stopped thinking about it for a week, I am counting down the days until I can return to the sandwich man. The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly, so kind, just wow. As long as this place continue operate , I will never stop visiting because of this place. Thanks for the best sandwich I've had in a very very long time! You guys keep rocking on! Thanks for everything you do!

The pizza was okay but for the price I will go to Linda's in Baileyville. Better pizza better price.read more

Great wood-fired pizza from a food truck! The owners are very friendly and have time for a chat- if…read morethere's not a long line. We had a thin crust pizza with spicy beef ( they don't use pork), onions, garlic and mushrooms. When was the last time you had chanterelles on a pizza? Me, either. The pizza crust was amazing. Unfortunately, by the time we got it home, not so much. Chewy and full of flavor, however. Next time we'll bring chairs and eat it on site. The spicy beef was great in lieu of sausage. My only criticism is the sauce was too sweet and it detracted from the other flavors. That said , it was still an excellent pie.

We visited Mad Mardigans in October on a work trip. Small family run restaurant…read more The wait staff were rough around the edges, but nice. There happened to be live music during our visit, and the musician was great! The bartender (owners daughter in law) told us everything was authentic Mexican and homemade by her mother in law- and we did realize that wasn't the full truth when we received our food. It was ok, served warm- not hot. Considering it is small town Calais, it was nice to see a newish restaurant, but I don't know if we will go back next time we visit.

This time I ate over in the restaurant side and it was even better. Had the special - salmon with…read moreteriyaki and fresh pineapple salsa. Absolutely perfect. Our waitress was on task and kind. Another great meal from a different side of the place!

Couldn't pick it up not quite toasted enough and just fell completely out of the bread. Have you a panini. I don't usually call to complain about my order yet I felt like it was necessary. The owner got on the phone when I called to tell me take out is like that. Im sorry but it isn't I get it 2 times a week. So disappointed with the response. I won't be ordering there anymore. And 17 for a sandwich that cost 12 b4 445pm. Is a bit much if they can't do the same job at both times.

I have been waiting all winter for them to open back up again and I am so happy they are reopened! My favorite thing to eat is there chicken fingers and I could eat them every day.
