The only restaurant open after 8pm in Millinocket. We had come back from dusk at Baxter State Park…read moreand found it thanks to Yelp. A Thursday night a little after 8 and two of us went in for dinner. A wide variety on the menu. We chose the turkey club and the Cobb salad. Processed cheese on the salad was a disappointment. That said the salad size was huge and ranch dressing was plentiful. The turkey club was a great choice! Service was very attentive. We had only water to drink and she continued to fill up the glasses throughout the meal. Unfortunately the heat pump dripped water down onto the seat in the booth. If I was in millinocket, I would go there again! Prices were more than reasonable.

I wouldn't go here again nor recommend it. The bar looked nice so sat there around 4. Bartender was…read moreobservant and not very friendly. It gave off a "locals only" vibe, outsiders not to be trusted. Got a couple drinks and a plate of nachos. Worst nachos I've had. Barely melted cheese, cheese on bottom was cold. $75 later..not worth it. Weird vibe. Heard a few other things about the inside of the business which solidified me not going back on top of being overpriced and SNOOTY.

Made another stop here (on purpose this time) and was even more impressed! Glad we called ahead…read moreearlier in the day to reserve a table as the restaurant was bustling on the Friday before Christmas. Love the cozy vibe of the interior so much! I opted for the short rib wrap with potato leek soup, and my husband and his friend both got the all you can eat fish and chips. We were all very satisfied with our choices! Can't wait to stop here during my next visit to Maine.

River Drivers Restaurant is part of NEOC (New England Outdoor Center), Ktaadn Resorts. It is a…read moreseparate building from other pieces of the property and is a bit off the paved road on a dirt road. My friend and I came here for dinner and really enjoyed this place. First, the service was amazing. Our waiter was so nice, so attentive, and extremely helpful in terms of describing the foods and helping us choose beers. A lot of their draft beers are from the brewery they have on the property (Knife Edge Brewing). My friend and I liked their Blond Ale and their Moon Shadow Session IPA. The IPA was slightly citrusy, crisp, cold, and refreshing. Exactly how you would want a beer. For the food, we had the crab cake appetizer, the caesar salad, and the seafood pappardelle (pasta). Everything was absolutely delicious. The crab cakes were wonderful. Flavorful but not grossly fishy, soft, and the sauce accompaniment was great. My friend and I split the caesar salad and the pasta, so the portions you see of those in my pictures are HALF of what they actually are. The caesar was solid -- a nice sauce and clean, fresh romaine. The croutons seemed homemade and were really good. The pasta had three types of seafood -- shrimp, scallops, and Maine lobster. All delicious and with a tasty garlic lemon cream sauce . It was a good amount of seafood as well. I highly recommend this place. It's a little off the beaten path but well worth it!! As a plus, we spotted a wild fox while driving through the property to the restaurant!

My husband and I each ordered sausage sub. It was outstanding. Just enough spice, hot off the grill with onions and peppers on a sub roll. If I were to make one recommendation it would be to increase the size of the sub roll. So delicious though! On our way out we grabbed two homemade molasses cookies for the road. They were AMAZING. I haven't had a homemade molasses cookie in 40 years but I'll tell you, this was the best I've ever had. I get that the hours are hit or miss. It's a mom and pop shop. If you're in the area and they are open stop in. You won't regret it. We will definitely stop in again.

You order at window and pay at bar. Usually some friendly locals in there having a drink. There is some seating inside. They were only taking cash and there is an atm inside. There are lots of local food items and spices to purchase and a freezer of their menu items to purchase for home. We stop whenever we're going through and they're open. Highly recommend!

The only thing holding me back is the crazy wait time on a not so busy Sunday, for the food to be served. Like over an hour wait time for a sandwich and fried fish special. But I digress...on to the good! The fried fish was outstanding! There was a very large amount of flaky fresh haddock that had the perfect coating and was not greasy at all. I would say - some of the best I've had! I opted for the side salad instead of the fries. I'll not make that mistake again. Don't get me wrong, the salad was fresh and very nice...but those fries that came with the Reuben were excellent! I'm not sure, maybe hand cut? They had a great seasoning on them and were so crispy with a soft center. If they are from frozen- I want the company name to figure out where to get some for myself! My husband enjoyed his Reuben as well. Oh, and bonus was that they had my favorite hard cider - freedom's edge, sweet mulled, as well WHICH they served in a chilled glass. Love it! We will definitely be back, but not when we're super hungry or in a hurry to get either upta camp or home. I get things run slower in that neck of the woods, but moving things along in the kitchen a little faster would do wonders for those passing through!
