    Fried clams, fries and Cole slaw
    Victoria P.

    Stopped by for dinner. Ordered the fried clams platter. It came with fries and Cole slaw. Clams were big and tender. Cole slaw was pretty tasty. I'm not a French fry fan so I tried one for curiosity. Recommend for dining options. I have to say service was slow but food was hot when delivered

    Local watering hole, looks inviting. Tacos were toasted and spicy. Clams & fries were tasty.

    Would definitely recommend for lunch if you are in the area! We found this tavern as we were exploring the area on a whim. We were super glad we stopped in. I ordered the house salad with steak tips and my husband had the Bart's salad, a vegetarian southwest salad. Both were large and filling. The steak tips were a little over cooked, but they didn't ruin the meal. We had the poutine as an appetizer and it was very good. The gravy in some of these small places can be very gelatinous and nasty but this was not. Plenty of cheese curds and crispy fries. Staff member was very friendly and attentive. The bar itself was fairly quiet and clean. Had a definite neighborhood gathering vibe.

    I think they called this the rodeo burger. Very good!

    Local hangout with great food with a great waitress-bartender! This place reminds me of gritty McDuff's in Portland only smaller. They have that mug club thing. I think there are pool tables downstairs but I have yet to look. I've been here a few times now and have never been disappointed. Check it out if your in the area!

    We found this through Yelp driving down Route 1 in Waldoboro. It's tiny inside and looks like a local tavern..my kinda place. Red Sox were on tv which enticed us to stay. The waitress is the bartender so be patient. She's hustling to get it all done. She knows the menu so ask. They have a decent wine selection so I grabbed the Leese and Fitch Pinot Noir. Decent wine for a tavern. We ordered apps to include wings (yeah baby) and spinach artichoke dip because hubby is obsessed. Good stuff Our meals were great too. Hubby got the grilled chicken wrap and me the portobello burger. They have vegetarian dishes. Go figure! Find this place, be patient and relax, foods great!

    Perfect Sunday night playing cribbage, drinking red wine and watching football

Bummer they don't open until May 6, two days from now. Continuing our drive north we came across the famous Moody's Diner that's known for their pies & down home cooking. They cook their own turkey so a turkey club is a must. For me it was either a 1/2 # lobster roll or a Percy burger with Swiss, onion & mushrooms. The burger was the juiciest burger I've ever had & I had a hard time getting it around my mouth. I managed to eat 3/4 of it & took the rest back to our B&B for later. We also had a side of awesome onion rings. If you've never been go eat & enjoy Maine cooking & hospitality. A factoid: They serve over 55,000 pieces of pie a year. Off to Whitehall B&B to rest up, go sightseeing & have an extraordinary dinner the night before our 37th anniversary. I forgot look at the size of this oatmeal raisin cookie we bought. Biggest cookie I've ever seen. BTW: Kris ordered a slice of strawberry rhubarb pie, she didn't like it. I passed on dessert.

These historic must-stop stays busy all year round with patrons of locals and tourists alike. You walk in and you'll see history and family photos. We've been driving here for many years and never stopped, and today we finally did! We came in at 1:15 p.m. and there was still a wait, around 20-30 minutes. We were going to have their famous dishes but opted to get breakfast instead. I enjoyed my 3 eggs over easy with sausage and a side of bacon, and BF had his with ham and blueberry pancakes. You can never mess up breakfast, which we are looking forward to going back and trying other dishes, specifically the biscuits and gravy, my ultimate American comfort food, and I'd be the judge. The server was nice and attentive, and breakfast came out in 10 minutes. Prices are reasonable.

After visiting the gardens, we weren't sure we wanted to drive 30 minutes the other way for dinner, but we did and we were very happy about it! Everything was outstanding from the drinks and appetizers to dinner and dessert. They say their clam chowder is award-winning. Two in our party had the clam chowder and agreed that it was the best chowder they've ever had. These two order chowder wherever they go. They also had the calamari which they said was excellent as well. The scallops appetizer was GF and was unbelievable. I have a gluten allergy so I had the haddock without breadcrumbs. It was very, very good. I did not get sick, so they get five stars for that. The service was excellent. The vibe was relaxed and friendly. We enjoyed our visit immensely.

I had a Black Manhattan cocktail, supposedly differing from an ordinary Manhattan by use of a different kind of bitters (Amaro) and "filthy cherries." These seemed like basic good quality maraschinos to me (3); nothing "filthy" about them. Nevertheless it was good, fruity, and ample strength. The appetizer selection was small and heavy on bread-based items. (No free table bread was available - grrrr.) Most didn't appeal but the Roasted Garlic did, served with bread (2 kinds: a toasted crostini and a fresh crusty sourdough). The garlic was a whole head, sliced open for easy access and presented on a very hot plate, sweet and mellow from long slow roasting, and served with a choice of cheeses (molten blue, brie, whipped feta, or chèvre) - I chose chèvre and it was very good and a generous portion. A very simple dish not often encountered in restaurants. In retrospect this was the best part of the meal. I felt a little rushed at times and impatient at other times. It took a very long time to get the appetizer so I had nothing to dilute the effects of the strong cocktail. But then more than once I was asked about my entree before I was ready; once when ordering the appetizer and another time soon after I received it and hadn't made up my mind yet. I held my ground and told them I wasn't quite ready, and they accepted that and I took my time eating. There was an eclectic selection of wines by the glass. I had an interesting rosé from Slovenia. My entree was a roasted fish filet (halibut I think? It's no longer listed on the menu) served over a tomato-based sauce. This sauce was richly scented and complex and the plate was attractively garnished with micro greens. But the fish was on the small side and the flavor was monotonous - no discernible browning on the top. The other component, probably an herby cucumber-yogurt sauce resembling raita, which should have been a cool complement to the hot tomato broth, instead was melting unattractively and dispersing into it. Perhaps most disappointing, there was nothing else to this dish. It needed a starch or something (rice, boiled potatoes, or even more of those very good breads from the appetizer - wish I had saved some.) So it's good I got the appetizer first, or I would have left rather hungry. Desserts were also very limited and most didn't appeal. I decided on the Clafouti, which is a baked tart, thicker and heavier than flan, with fruit (black cherries) It was way too hot, didn't have enough fruit, and ice cream would be a far better choice than the amorphous blob of whipped cream it was served with. I should have skipped dessert. It was so boring. As for ambience: it's a crowded, noisy place but in a pleasing way. Very small, and I had reserved one of the 6 seats at the bar (I was dining solo). It's whimsically decorated, like with the grape-covered nude statue holding a candle. There was attractive artwork on the walls, some of which I believe was for sale. I did detect smoky odors coming from the kitchen that other reviewers have noted but I consider that a positive thing, not a negative. So come here if you wish. Check it out and form your own opinion. As for me, I wasn't sufficiently impressed and wouldn't return.
