My husband found this place after checking out eating spots around Bangor. This is actually in Brewer, about 5 miles down the road from the Hampton Inn we are staying at in Bangor. We were originally going to both go to the restaurant but after a long day of driving my husband decided to pick up our order and bring it back to the hotel. My husband mentioned that the reviews talked about the food being different. He had Porktasomething burger which had pork belly, bacon and two burgers and sauce. He had fries with it and he could hardly eat it all. He enjoyed it very much. I ordered the Pub pizza and we had cracklins-dirty. The cracklins were good and I'm still eating them two days later. When I first opened my pizza I thought I was given the wrong one because it was supposed to have Italian sausage with fennel seed. What I saw was pepperoni looking slices of meat that were larger than a pepperoni. It also had globs of a cheese mixture in spots. The cheese blobs reminded me of pimento cheese, which I love. I guess I'd have to go back and find the menu to find all the pizza toppings but I did Enjoy it and we had leftovers for lunch the next day. If you want to take your taste buds on a trip this is the place to eat. read more

Amazing!!!!!! Best food I've had in Maine thus far. I had the salmon salad. It was not your boring salad. Flavor was on point. I ate every morsel of it. There are picky eaters in my family and everyone finished their food. Wished I had discovered this place sooner. read more

Mason’s Brewing - Salmon salad. - Breweries Near Me - Brewer, Maine

i had been in maine less than a day, when i was told we needed to try this establishment. we had reservations, but ended up waiting a bit. we were seated outside, where we had a great view of the penobscot river. somehow, even though the patio was crowded and noisy, it was peaceful just watching people amble by, walking their dogs, or pushing a pram. a variety of beers were available, which i heard were quite tasty; i declined to drink anything but wine, since i was being fancy that way. we had a medium sized crowd, and our waitress was slammed, but she handled it smoothly; the service was great. it took at least a glass and a half before the food arrived, but when it did, it was hot and tasty. this is usually the part where i throw something vaguely snarky in, or wander way off topic. alas, this review is as tepid as my granny's puritan humor. please find solace in the photos i forced half the table to take, while the other half had enough of my wine fueled shenanigans and refused to comply with my demands to take pictures of said entrees. i was actually starting to annoy myself, and did not take a picture of my giant delicious pretzel. oh how i wish i could have taken the delicious mustard sauce that came with the pretzel back to my home state.... read more

First visit here on memorial day weekend. It was rainy so we sat inside in what I guess is a side room. It was loaded with families and young children which is fine but I would have really preferred a spot somewhere else. My son, who lives in the area and wanted to come here during our visit to him, said he never knew this side room even existed but the main space is way better. Maybe next time we will sit there. Our party got mimosa flight, beers and some cocktails to start. Drinks were good, service a bit slow but it was busy. Ordered a few apps, brew haus fries and a tuna dish, I did not eat the tuna but it was enjoyed by others and the fries were great, the sauce was hard to stop eating! Ordered another round, the beer was awesome! So happy to see more than just IPAs on a menu. Thanks for that, guys Everyone had something different, the bao, burgers, a hot dog, a Caesar pizza. I think the consensus was the pizza was the best thing. The burgers were good as well but the meat portion is small and overall the cost of our lunch was pretty high. For a first time it was good and I would definitely go again but maybe make a few different choices. 1. Ask to sit in the actual brewery/bar area. Although I oppose children being in a brewery this place felt like a restaurant so I can overlook that. However, a toddler behind us fully dumped a huge glass of water everywhere and it was ridiculous. Not the restaurants fault at all but I don't want to be forced to dine with young children (why I frequent bars/breweries) and the side room had many, many young kids running and screaming. If I am having a few drinks and paying 200+ for lunch, I do not want to be seated surrounded by kids having tantrums. Maybe the side room can be a kid's room? 2. I would try the wings and order pizza for my meal. Seems like the way to go. I do feel like this first impression could have been better if we were in the bar area so next time I will ask for that! read more

Always good food, good beer and quick service. Gluten free pizza and other healthy options for her while I end up with my name on the TV after finding something for Untappd that I haven't had before read more

This place is the best in the area (and has the reputation and awards to prove it). We live pretty close by and used to go to Masons on a weekly basis before having kids! The vibes are impeccable and views are great. Love sitting outside. Beer is good. Drinks are good (and creative). Food is great. Service is consistently fantastic. This was my stop for dinner before going in to deliver both of my children read more

Good food. Good service. Great for something different. I had the Pickle Rick. It was a ham sandwich with a pickle as the bread. Crazy. I'm Pickle Rick! read more

We were sat and waited 20 minutes before leaving because we were never once acknowledged. Attempted getting anyone's attention and were ignored on multiple tries. Unfortunate since their food and drink look good. read more

When I tell you everything hit, it was all amazing! It started with great service and our waitress Bella was super nice and helpful. Our wings and pretzel were great starters and did not last long. And our entrees were all very delicious! If you are in the area and want a great meal with great service and good view, definitely stop by. read more

Back to Mason's brewing on a Tuesday afternoon at 1pm. Continue to give the food four stars, but as suggested tried the smaller room and it too was very loud. We were told a 20 minute wait for outside so settled for the smaller room. Saw several tables outside and tried again to be moved outside. Hostess was not going to have any of it. Inside and seated at a 2 top pressed up against a column, our service was meh. Server was lackluster. The kitchen staff that brought the food was fantastic. Had to get up and get our own ketchup when lunch was delivered. Good was the traditional cheese burger and the patty melt. We split them between us and thought it was great! Sweet potato fries were a hit and the coleslaw side was just ok. My friend tried one of the beers and enjoyed it. Next time, I won't stay if I can't get seated outside! Lucky for me I'm a summer resident! read more

My gf and I decided to try this place out and we were pleasantly surprised as to what a hidden gem this place is . We ordered the " dirty fries " and a pig and pineapple pizza and both were amazing . Service was top notch . Friendly server , well kept and certainly friendly and moreover professional ! We were in and out in no time ! Great job ! We will be back ! read more

Fries were NOT FRESH, dark brown and most were crunchy all the way thru. No salt that I could taste. To me they tasted like they were put in the deep fryer a second time to try to refresh. No ketchup or napkins in the bag. Now to the burger. Both sides of the bun were soggy because the cheese was melted on the bun sides. The bottom bun was such a soggy mess I couldn't life up the burger! Had to take it home and eat with a fork. Meat was flavorful but for 20.00 (I added mushroom) it was a big disappointment. Sorry, I work too hard for my money. I won't be returning. read more

Food was amazing!! Definitely recommend! Was traveling from SC and stopped by, will be coming back!

If you like to wait for food, drinks or service, come here. Better yet - if you wanna pay $19 for a 4oz margarita - please come here. Living in Boston, I still don't pay this much! $19 with a splash of Don Julio and mostly ice is a complete rip off. And waiting twenty minutes for it didn't sweeten the pot. I definitely won't be back. Tip: LOWER YOUR GOUGING PRICES. (The only reason there's two stars is because the brisket tacos were amazing) read more

While in Maine for a work trip, we stopped at Mason's for a quick lunch before a long car ride. Our party of 8 was quickly seated and greeted by a very friendly waitress. The menu features many amusingly named meals, all with creative elements that seem delicious. I got the sandwich on special that day, which was called the Gobble Gobble - turkey, peppers, olives, and more. I paired my sandwich with sweet potato fries. Our waitress was very attentive and fast, and the food was delicious. The serving sizes were great for the price. The vibes in the restaurant felt exactly what you'd expect from a brewing company in Maine, and they even have an outdoor seating area that looks very comfy. I hope I'm in Brewer again soon to try more of their fun menu items! read more

-lettuce soggy -slow -food put on cold metal hipsters trays so gets cold -Food is genuinely not bad as long as you are okay with it being cold, soggy, and almost an hour after ordering -slow -price eh alright maybe if everything else was good -menu very complicated design and hard to read -weird room decor in side room, feels like in jail segregated from cool main area. It's hilarious you will see the hostess walk people in there and then people will say "Oh no please" and immediately walk back out to wait longer to be seated in other room. -Loud - good beer -busy and understaffed, not enough servers so slow, assume kitchen is same and why food is so slow Will go again, probably many times, but only because people will say "we are going to masons, you are invite!" And its not my place to say "ehhhh masons? why not somewhere else" SLOW. Like actually slow, if it's busy we have waited 51 minutes for food after ordering. read more

we ate some really good food. We had some really nice views. And we had some amazing service! This is a great place to come eat and bring all of your friends and family. We had two children with us, and they were able to runoff and play within our sight, but at a far enough distance that there, joyful noises didn't bother anybody around us trying to eat dinner with their parties. read more

Let's just get straight to the point that I am a fan of Mason's. Located along the river in Brewer, Masons has indoor and outdoor seating. Dogs are welcome on the patio. Yea! The pizza is delicious, a bit heavy on crust, toppings are varied with interesting pizza topping combinations on the menu. I also love the Dirty Fries which a thick cut fries with seasoning and a special dipping sauce on the side. Burgers are large, cheesesteak is also good. This is a good place for Dry January fans as there are mocktail and NA beers in the menu. Seating is casual- tables and bar seating. A little loud when the restaurant is busy and seating can be close to your dining neighbors. This is a good place for families. The older kids can head out the back door and run around along the rail trail after lunch. Parking is easy although the lot can get full. Service has always been very good. read more

Wanted a beer and it was dinnertime. My wife said to check out what's available, and I came across Mason's Brewing Company. I made an excellent choice. We could have waited in the quite full restaurant to sit outside on the covered deck, or right away inside. We chose to sit inside. People of all ages were in the restaurant. With the way the restaurant is constructed, it gets quite lively and loud with the sound reverberating off the concrete floors and wide-open space. Tonight was very busy and even more so as the evening went on. Our server did her best to keep up with her tables. She did keep her pleasantries high and didn't show any signs of negative vibes. She was constantly on the move and didn't always come to help us leaving us to wait a little long. I started with a flight which included four beers and if it wasn't brewed at Mason's, then that choice was $1 extra. I had the Brown, Blueberry Cream, Diablo, and Hefelweisen; all Mason's. Am I allowed to say that the beers were the worst part of my meal when I'm at a Craft Brewhouse? I just did. Each were fine, and I liked the Blueberry Cream the best of the four, but none hit the spot where I said I needed to buy this again. For starters, my wife had the Garden Salad, and I had the Ahi Tuna Salad. Both were piled high on the plates. Mine included three or four nice pieces of Ahi and had greens, ginger, and a spicy drizzle which didn't immediately kick in. They were both quite good. For mains, we both went with the pizza. I had the Best Damn Pepperoni, and she did a Build Your Own with mushrooms, caramelized onions, green bell pepper, and ground beef. I was so surprised at how great these pizzas were. One of the best I've ever had and I've had a lot being from Philadelphia. The half-sphered pepperoni, the ricotta, the little hot and sweet red peppers, just divine. The menu said the dough is made locally with some of their beer in there. It just really hit the spot. The only complaint about my wife's pizza was that she wished there was more red sauce on it. Otherwise, perfecto. So we really liked Mason's a lot if not for their beer, but the food was awesome. Our server did her best and was very friendly. Everyone on staff seemed to be on their toes tonight. $75 not including tip for a flight of beer, a soda (Coke products here, yea!), two pizzas, and two salads. We had a great time and felt even better supporting local businesses. Mason's is not a chain, and we were told they might open a second location soon also in Maine. read more

My friend was HUNGRY so we ordered 3 appetizers and a veggie burger with sweet potatoe fries. She had been here before so I let her order. Very good food, great service, beer and cocktails. I would return if in the area again!! read more

Great, spacious place, fun vibrant atmosphere and excellent food. Some good veggie options too. Really enjoyed the trivia games shown on the big screen TV's that you can jump into using a phone app while you're waiting... Or eating. Their riverfront location is sweet! You can tell it's a big crowd favorite in the Bangor area and probably gets a lot of visiting folks too. read more

For the area, it was a decent place. We are used to breweries being more beer centered, and not a place you'd necessarily go for food first and then beer. We found some good beers and even had some delicious New York ciders, but it definitely felt like this was a restaurant first and beer stop second. I will say the view from the window and patio is gorgeous on a nice day and definitely enjoyed looking at while we sipped on our beer flights. read more

Went here on our last night in Maine. We ordered pizza cauliflower and a hotdog. They didn't have my husbands favorite domestic beer because it's more of a brew house. I ordered a aviation gin martini. The first did not taste like aviation gin. Maybe it was watered down or shaken to long but it tasted off. The second one tasted better. At $14. each, they shouldn't taste watered down! I mentioned to the waitress that it didn't taste like aviation gin. When she came back with the second one she said "I can assure you, it is aviation gin". I wasn't convinced ‍ read more

We stopped here on our way to Bar Harbor from the Bangor airport and we enjoyed our time! We had a short wait on a Saturday afternoon. While waiting we walked along the river walk out back which was a good way to pass the time. We were seated inside, my husband enjoyed a darker beer and we both thoroughly liked our food. We both got burgers, which were a LOT of food, and very good. Our service was fine, nothing spectacular, the restaurant was full - everyone from couples to families to larger groups. We had an all around good experience. read more

Large dog friendly outdoor patio along the waterfront with beautiful views. Just be sure to hydrate because it was hot with limited breeze. Our server, Sienna, was super friendly and attentive. The teriyaki cauliflower was delicious with a very light batter which helped prevent them from being greasy. The IPL was bursting with hoppy flavor but light and crushable. The Cream Ale was awesomely smooth and creamy. Blueberry Cider was very good. And the Hipster Apocalypse Hazy IPA was highly piney and sweet. Loved this place all around. read more

Where do I start! Some reviews said it was loud, I call it a good loud with family and friends are having a good meal in a friendly place. The environment was a perfect pub style restaurant! The ladies behind the bar were friendly and welcoming right at the beginning! The lady who helped us really helped with what was really good and she was not wrong. I got the butter burger.....OMG!!! That's one juicy burger and you can taste the yummy Katie's butter...so good!!!!! My husband got the American burger and that was really good!!!! The dirty sweet potato fries were surprisingly good, whatever is ok those work!!!! So yummy! We were stuffed by the end, I couldn't finish my fries. We went during brunch time, but we were craving burgers, which both hit the spot. But I want to go back for the brunch menu and a special bar drinks ...another OMG! We will be back for sure!!!! read more

While visiting Bangor, I stopped in here for a late lunch before a show at the Maine Savings Amphitheater. I sat outside which is a great setup, right on the river. Even in winter I'd imagine this would be nice as they had heaters and drop down tarps. I had the pepperoni pizza and a wheat beer. Both were very good, wish I could remember the name of the beer. My waitress was friendly and fast; she also gave some good tips on the amphitheater. If in Bangor, this is a spot I'd highly recommend you check out. read more
