    Good solid cider
    Britamy C.

    Jojo was amazing! She gave great service and recommendations!! We had the popper burger with pretzels, patty melt, and Rueben! We recommend them all!!

    Would I recommend? Yes yes yes a must stop at place! Would I return if I was local or travel traveling through yes Traveling for work and my work just so happened to be right next-door to this restaurant so no research done decided to stop in and boy am I ever glad I did The seating is small, but it's comfortable. It's clean. The staff are well dressed appropriately. They're friendly and they know their menu. Service was fast. Food was hot and it was very, very tasty. The portion sizes were large and I love my food. I was able to take home half my sandwich in my brussels sprouts, and each of us took home one of those sweet honey corn fritter thingies. I hope if you're in the area, you're gonna stop by and check this place out it's also attached to a brewery but my husband and I we don't drink so we weren't interested in that And I felt the price was just right for the food

    Corned Beef Reuben

    Went to mast landing for some brews and found out they had a restaurant directly adjacent that provides food to the brewery patrons. They have their own dine-in restaurant but we never went inside of it we just used the service window inside the brewery to pick up our food. We were sitting outside in the back and used the QR code and toast app to order; which was a breeze. It took about 10 mins or so before I got a text that the food was ready. I liked that you could leave your tab open in case you wanted to order something else. My son had the turkey club and I had the Reuben. Both were very good with the Reuben being the better of the 2. The corned beef was sliced really thin and piled high. The cheese was melty and tied the sando together nicely. It wasn't drowning in dressing either. Easily an 8/10 maybe even a 9/10. The turkey was a little dry on the club, but that could have been made better with a little mayo but my kid has not developed a taste for condiments yet. Regardless, it was still really good. We got the fries upgrade on one sandwich to split. They were a mixed bag with some crispy, some limp and some perfect. Overall we had a great experience and could even say that the food, not the beer, was the highlight of the night.

    Pizza bread sticks

    Food was delicious! My son asked about the popper sauce just wanting a description, unfortunately the person could not give us much information which was disappointing but my son ordered the jalapeño popper burger and said it was good. I had the BBQ burger, it too was good. If you are GF they have options, vegan they have options. I have been told that certain items sell out often one being the GF pizza sticks. I did think that the place would be larger but it is small and quaint. If we are in the Freeport area again we will return. The only drawback, the up charge on fries.. I am not complaining, I understand up charges happen it is part of the business but $5 I thought was a bit much, again my opinion they were delicious! My $17 burger because $23

    Misty's Chicken Sandwich! (But with fried chicken)
    Crystal C.

    My kids and I popped in on a summer day after a bit of shopping at the outlets. The space was a smaller than expected (holds maybe 15-20ppl). I did notice a patio outside but nobody was sitting there and it wasn't clear if that was part of Nighthawk or Mast Landing. Drinks here are all bottled. My kids picked out $3 bottles of IBC rootbeer. When it came to ordering mains, I asked if I could get the Misty's chicken sandwich, but fried. That seemed to throw the waitress off. She said she'd check if that was allowed. When she returned she told me they'd do it for me because they weren't that busy. That seemed odd to be considering they had many fried chicken sandwiches on the menu. It wasn't like I was creating a dish. I just wanted those toppings on fried chicken, not grilled. Plus, my daughter ordered the Queso chicken sandwich so it quite literally wasn't going to take any more time to make mine than what we had already ordered. Strange, but nonetheless, they did it. I opted to add fries with a side of ranch ($4 up-charge for friends and $1 for ranch!). They were quite good, shoe string hand-cut style. Potato chips are the default side, which I'm not crazy about. Both of our sandwiches were plentiful and yummy. My son ordered the cheese pizza sticks. They were okay for a kid with basic taste buds, but not very seasoned or flavorful and not something I'd order again at $14. I think if I wanted to grab food from here again, I'd opt for takeout.

    Nighthawk's has one of the best burgers going. It's fun to order at their takeout window inside Mast Landing Brewing. The kitchen crew works really hard. All ages welcome here.

    Hillary L.

    This place is drool worthy delicious. The best part is that you can sit inside Mast Landing Brewing Company and order your food through a little takeout window that connects the restaurant and the brewery. I ordered the Classic Turkey Club. The sandwich is so big I could only eat half. I also ordered a large fry to share with my husband. With the size of the sandwiches, we agreed we could have ordered a small fry to share and still had plenty of food. I highly recommend and will definitely be back!

    Night Manna
    Ben C.

    The service was helpful and great. They were good at explaining and sharing. The inside was clean and open for seating. Not too busy so if I did dine in it would have been good. I ordered Night Manna. It was decent and all. But they didn't put any sauces on it. You had to dress your own. The fries is what kept my rating at where it was. The pizza sticks were a fun treat but very basic in flavoring. Ordered a turkey sandwich that they forgot or misplaced the bacon. And the prices are way too high to entice me to come back.

    Corn fritters
    Abby L.

    A great little spot for food later in the evening. They are great for folks with allergies as well having gluten free buns and willing to work with you on what you need to not have. We got the corn fritters which were pretty good. I thought they needed a sauce but not bad. And everyone liked their burgers so an overall win!

    White Bean Salad
    Gary G.

    In the same building as Mast Landing Brewery, with its own entrance and dining room as well as a pickup window inside Mast Landing. Their menu has a good assortment of finger foods, sandwiches, salads, and veggie-friendly items. As a burger aficionado, I hit the patty melt three times and their basic burger once. Patty Melt: Really tasty buttered and griddled rye housing a well crusted and very well seasoned beef slab. Juiciness has varied from freely gushing to just trickling. Patty size has varied a bit as well, from thick and fully stretching to the edges of the bread, to not as thick and not quite reaching. At its worst, it's still good eats. At its best, it's astonishingly elite. Classic Burger: A thin patty in the mashed style, loaded with seasoning. No pink, no juice. Fries: Plentiful, fresh cut, very potatoey, somewhat crisp, somewhat droopy, liberally salted. I like 'em, but those who don't like salt won't like these. Realistically, this place swings from a 3 to a 5, but highs have been higher and more frequent than lows, so gotta go with 4 stars. Looking forward to trying more of the menu, and their vegetarian friendly items for my wife make that very possible.

    Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Shaved Brussel Sprouts, Bacon, and Caesar Salad

    Needed quick bite to get through 5 hour drive and found Nighthawk's Kitchen right off I-95. Great spot that started as a Food Truck (see Portland's Food Editor's glowing review on wall). The Corn & Cheese Fritters with honey drizzled over them were to die for! The Mac & Cheese with Gouda Cheese, BBQ sauce, and little bits of green chilies (just enough) was also wonderful. I had the grilled chicken sandwich with shaved Brussel sprouts, crispy bacon, and Caesar Salad on a warm bun - absolutely incredibly tasting!!! Great setting, reasonably priced, attentive staff, and very clean spot. Perfect for a quick respite. You will be glad that you stopped by NightHawks!

    BBQ burger
    Craig M.

    My wife and I go to Freeport once in a great while so we try to find something new and boy did we find a gem. Nighthawk's Kitchen is off the beaten path, in the same area as the Shaws Plaza and located next to Mast Landing Brewing Company. You could miss it because it's a small space, but the food packs a punch (in a good way). The interior has seating for approximately 16. They have low and a couple high tables. They have a beverage cooler on the left, some business merchandise, a warmer for their breakfast on-the-go options and some confections sugar items leading up to the front desk. My wife and I were met by one of the staff who graciously opened the door for us. He provided us with a menu, said we could sit anywhere and offered us glasses of water while we browsed the menu. My wife ordered the Green Chile cheeseburgers which has hatch New Mexico green chilies and American cheese on a potato style role. She LOVED it as it brought back memories of her time in New Mexico. The owner did tell us that he get's all his green chiles directly from New Mexico through a vendor he has worked within when Nighthawk's was originally in New York. I had the BBQ burger which has bacon, bbq sauce, onion straws and I substituted vegan cheese in place of cheddar for dietary reasons. We also ordered a small fly for us to split. First off, I wasn't kidding when I said the food packs a punch. My burger was a smash burger style with great caramelization on the edges of the burger. One of the best burgers I have had in quite some time and my wife agrees hers was as well. The fries are hand cut, shoe string style. They par cook them in olive oil and then finish them in canola oil. They sprinkle salt and pepper on them and I ate them like I was eating popcorn till it was gone. Nighthawk's Kitchen looks and feels like a hole in the wall style restaurant and they are, but I enjoyed every minute of the atmosphere, customer service and the food. This would be a great spot for a future Yelp Elite event as they do offer alternative options. It may be a smaller menu than some, but there is no need to overload a menu that is already great to begin with. HIGHLY recommend trying!

    Misty's sandwich was blessed with fresh chicken and a ceasar salad in a toasted potato bun. What more could you want? The BYOB burger is absolutely delicious and so fresh. Service was awesome and the prices are wonderful!

I ate during the summer when the weather was good. The staff was extremely friendly when taking my order and it came out quickly. I am looking forward to visiting again and trying more of the menu, but a Lobster Rolls with Fried Clams or Oysters are my default order to try out a new spot, it shows the amount of lobster on a roll as well as their skill at frying. I wish that they were a little closer to Portland, as I will likely only stop by on my way to or from LL Bean in Freeport.

Let's start with the cocktails, because they truly deserve top billing. I always order the seasonal espresso martini, and somehow it just keeps getting better. This time it was tiramisu-inspired, and it was unreal. Rich, balanced, not overly sweet, and actually tasted like the dessert without feeling heavy. Whoever is behind that bar knows exactly what they're doing. The fish and chips? You cannot go wrong. Perfectly crisp batter, flaky fish, and fries that hold their own. It's one of those dishes you order once and then find yourself thinking about days later. That said, everything we've tried over multiple visits has been consistently excellent. It's the kind of menu where you feel safe branching out because you know it's going to deliver. The space itself adds to the whole experience. The architecture is beautiful, with warm wood tones and big windows that bring in natural light and make the river views part of the meal. It manages to feel polished and special without being stuffy. You can dress up a little or come in relaxed and still feel right at home. And the service is always attentive in that effortless way.

Quite a large space inside and a handful of tables outside to enjoy the nice weather. You order at the counter and then they have a spot further down where they'll call out your name for both food and drinks. They had a section on the menu called the MET Artistic Lattes which was their version of specialty flavored lattes. This caught our eyes.

To have a real strong opinion I would need to return and try some of the food rather than just the coffee.
