I will start this review off by saying that I am only placing this review for the breakfast on a…read moreSaturday morning in Machias Maine. I will tell you this if you order something off the menu for breakfast your portions are so big that it may take two or three people to eat one serving so be prepared to take some home with you as my portion of pancakes and omelette would serve an army . I was talking to one of the locals, and they stated that the owner of this restaurant served large portions because he felt it was his way of giving back to the community and not always worried about budgets and money. The only drawback about eating breakfast here is you can still smell some of the odors from the partying the night before as it had a dance club/nightclub atmosphere on a Friday night. So, if you are looking for a breakfast and you wanna go somewhere different than Helen's across the street, check this place out you won't be disappointed by the variety of their menu for breakfast and the quality of the food that comes out.

Amazing little place, on Main Street but still easy to miss unless you are looking right at it. A…read morefavorite with the locals, and just one meal there will make that obvious. Others have talked about the size of the portions, but even more importantly is the quality of the food. We had the Haddock Burger with Fries, and the Haddock Platter, also with Fries and Slaw. If eating in your car is your thing, take the time to drive across the street into the parking lots behind and across from the Machias River General Store. There you can watch the goings on at the Bad Little Falls Park - depending upon the time of year and season, folks will be casting their nets across the Falls. That spectacle, combined with the terrific food served to you by the skilled staff, will be well worth your visit. Recommended!

The pastrami does not fit with their Maine lobster rolls but it is good if you do not want seafood. Finally, they have a few outside picnic tables.

I started off with the only draft lager, the Midnight Train. It was dark and had a coffee taste which is not my thing. I had asked the waitress if she had ever tried it and she had not, but did offer a taste first which I declined. There is a huge wrap around bar or wooden tables to dine in. Casual ambience. Restrooms were very clean. I had the fish and chips and that came out quickly. The house made tarter was very good, along with the coleslaw. I ordered a side of cowboy beans and they were flavorful and hearty. Really delicious. However, it is a huge portion for a side (maybe the size should be specified or marked as a sharable) and there was no price listed on the menu. The price was $10, pretty steep for a side in my opinion (which I learned only after getting the check). I decided to take the beans home with a hot dog to go, and was told the dog comes with a side as well; apparently you cannot just get a dog alone! So that was $8 for a dog and a sad portion of kraut that was just ok. The bill came to $45.90 and I gave the waitress $60 and she asked, "do you want your change?" Seems she expected a huge tip based on minimal service. I politely said "yes, please." My change was $14.10. She brought back $14 but not the 10 cents. Seems like a dumb thing to complain about, but this is not right. Not giving people the correct change is never ok and it works in the restaurants favor and screws the customer and based on that fact alone, I would not recommend and don't plan to return.

The restaurant is tucked away from the main road and has plenty of seating inside and out. Nice little bar area decorated very nautical and cute. The star of the show was the blueberry margarita - WOW! That alone was 5 stars. The food was decent, we got a salad and some chicken tenders and then the Brussels sprouts. As you walk in, they note that it might take extra time to make your food because it's a small kitchen made to order but we were pleasantly surprised at how efficient they were! Our waitress was kind and helpful. If we were locals to this area definitely would be back!

I had the burger special which was fucking fantastic! I was getting pretty tired of seafood at this point and it was the most refreshing change of pace. It was one of those just in time food experiences. C went for the crab cakes. What a gorgeous version of crab cakes they were! Fancy pants presentation and all things considered some of the best crab cakes we had on our trip. Bartender was really friendly and was super proud of their whiskey/bourbon collection. He did point out a few bottles to us that were really quite special and hard to come across. They had some Penelope variants that were unseen to me. I would come back in a heartbeat. If I lived nearby, I would be here all of the time. There were a ton of interesting menu items I would like to try. '26 - 26

It was crispy, perfectly sized pieces, very flavorful (I think it was teriyaki) and the portion was generous. We had the pizza special of the day (elote) with vegan cheese and it was decent. The breaded cauliflower app would have been better with some salt/flavoring in the breading and the brussel sprouts had great flavor and texture but they burnt them a bit and it took away from making them a 10/10.

Server was doing it all, waiting on tables, bartending and delivering food. We had the flat bread pizza and it was alright. However, it was not big enough to split as an entree as she said it was. We both left hungry and we are not big eaters.
