    When I'm in the area, I like to swing by here for a sandwich. Not often, but I make a point to when…read moreI do. The sandwiches have generally been very good. Sometimes just average. The burger I had today really hit the spot. There have been times when they've run out of a specific item, but I assume that's a testament to their devotion to freshness. I'm impressed with the amount of stuff they have on offer. The raw meats and prepared stuffs. Plus a lot of rubs and sauces throughout the store. Craft beers in the coolers. Lots of Maine gifts. I haven't purchased any cuts to bring home (yet) but I am definitely going to consider it the next time I'm out here. It's possible to dine-in, the eating area is nice and private, but I have yet to do so, though I have seen people eating there before. Worth a journey if you have business in the area.

    Ordered 6 sandwiches from this spot for a late lunch during the week. For a deli shop, they oddly…read moreran out of rolls for sandwiches, so brioche seemed like the next best option. Super sweet buns. I got a BLT + on brioche, and also had a bite of the Jersey italian. The deli meat sandwiches were loaded, the bacon not so much. Service once I got there was average, but on the phone they sounded annoyed with my order and not very friendly. Wondered if maybe they were busy, but once I was there to pick up, it was completely empty.

    Food was good but the wait was ridiculously long. The restaurant was almost empty and still it…read moretook over 30 minutes for a steak and cheese. No apologies for the long wait when the food finally came out. One and done for me.

    Ahh, the sign of a butchers cleaver. I am not sure what this provokes in most people, but as I've…read moresaid before, Stephen King gives me the heebie-jeebies. So for me, the butcher cleaver represents something tasty--except for when the shmuckabaloos haven't a clue what they are doing. Fortunately, this tasty little joint, Miller's Market up in Gorham, Maine, knows what they're doing! I'd been cruising the highways, riding the coast of Vacationland for some time now, and somehow, someway, ventured a bit further inland. Once I saw the burnt-orange cleaver in the window, I knew I'd have to give it a try and see if these hullabaloos knew what they were doing. I was greeted with a "Hey, how you'rrrr doin'?" The soft, rolling extension on the r made me feel right at home in Maine. Jeezum crow, you Mainers speak funny. But by golly, you are a lovable bunch of hillbilly farmers and fisherfolk. Anywho, I ordered myself a chicken Caesar wrap--wanting to feel nourished, but not to the point of comatose. Salad in a wrap--a genius way to feel healthy. Mind over matter. "Hand-cut fries or hand-cut chips?" the counter guy asked me. Now, I love a fry, but I'm feeling crunchy in these overcast late-April days. I hesitate, and somehow this mind reader behind the counter could sense it. "I can see you want the chips, but you gotta try these fries. Why don't I give you a little of both?" he says to me. Now I'm looking at him cockeyed--just another Mainer who seems to be able to read a man's soul. Well, I am here now--no turning back. And then my eyes widen when I spot a tasty crème soda in the fridge next to the register. My lucky day. Crème soda--the most underrated of all sodas. What's not to love? Creamy and poppy all in the same bottle. This guy seems nice, and I am in no rush, so I say, "Hey, throw it on my tab. I'm going to be a while. After I eat, I'm going to write something!" I pull up a spot without paying and know that there's no expectation to do so--at least not right away. Good ol' Maine courtesy, as good as this blueberry Jalapeño salsa from Pemberton partners, which I can apparently purchase at Millers Market, where it just ain't sangys it's home goodies too. I open up my futuristic-typewriter and get to work on my latest novel, but can't seem to find a single word. I glance at the menu--buffalo chicken pesto sandwich. Hard tellin', not knowin'. Mainers--brilliant folk when it comes to food. Pesto and buffalo sauce! Never had it, but I need it. That's bound to be tasty--as warm buttah' on lobstah. "Hi, I'll take my butter with lobster, please."--how it should be ordered. Dee-EEE --licious. You Mainers are shaking your heads right now, pesto and buffalo is probably a common thing round these parts, from ya? Nope I ain't and the rest of the country is far behind on the trend of the buffalo/pesto combo, I can promise you that. Then my food is brought out to me. It looks tasty--but the fries have me skeptical.... Find out how it all turned out at https://ryanccurtis.com/blog/timeless-fries-at-millers-market/n19c63

    What a great place! We stopped here to see what it was all about. We had ice cream, we saw cows,…read moreand we paid to go into the area where there was lots of animals. We even fed goats and deer. We pet babies, we loved seeing the different birds. There were peacocks! It was fun, relaxing, cool in the shade. The food part is big enough to eat and relax. Ice cream was delicious. I would go back! People that worked there were really nice too.

    You scream. I…read morescream. We all scream... for site made ice cream on a working Maine dairy farm ! This is a special place... a farm on a hill with their own farm shop featuring glass-bottled milk, sandwiches, and most importantly... Ice Cream ! Starting mid-April or so, they open up "The Barnyard" which is a nice little petting zoo for the kids... and occasionally a "Goat Yoga" spot for adults... which is just so uniquely crazy it almost makes me wish I did yoga. Not into yoga...? I get you. Lucky for us, they also have a hardware store / lumber yard, so you could feasibly come for Mocha Chip and stay for the 4x4 milled posts, and that's not an experience you'll soon get at a national big-box lumber store. Or a Baskin Robbins, for that matter. This place is an experience. The farm is gorgeous, the staff are friendly, the animals are fun, the lumber yard is definitely there, and the product... well that's where it's at... it's excellent. There are a few working dairy farms like this one dotted around the state, and I encourage you to check out each and every one. Smiling Hill Farm is that extra special sort of place, where it's only a few miles drive outside of Portland, but it feels worlds away and it's so, so worth the effort to get to. They also have ready-to-go quarts in the freezer, their various dairy offerings, and rotating, seasonal farm shop fare. Support your local farmers! Also... I've found the local barn cats to be super friendly and just a treat to hang with. YMMV

    I have been to On the Vine a half a dozen times - great every time. Except, I get there around 6 pm…read moreand they're always out of soup. I wish they would hide the bakery some where. . No, not really. EVERYTHING in that case is FABULOUS!!. My favorite is the Key Lime Pie, you can tell it's made there. The eclairs, cream puffs, the"yodel" slice. The muffins are great too. I often get a few entrees for work. The only negative is I wish they'd put more veggies and less rice in the platters, especially the grilled ones. Great macaroni salad!! The Thanksgiving sandwich is great, as well, the lobster roll. The people are all so friendly, helpful. The store is always clean and very well stocked. I recommend this place to everyone. If you can't find something that suits your taste, that's a tough one.

    Really surprised at the condition of the salad bar/soup area. The soups were totally almost done…read moreand should have been removed. The salad bar area was dirty and some of the sections needed attention. I waited at the counter to buy desserts and I was just looked at a few times and not helped. Finally a young man making sandwiches noticed me and got the attention of an older guy who was cutting up some meat. He had looked at me a couple of times, but never helped me until the young man motioned for him to. There was virtually no one in there. So, not because it was busy.
