Food was great but Gabby our server is what made me write this review! She was so kind and attentive, she was very patient helping me try some of their beer before I decided on a margarita... I didn't eat much of my sandwich as the drink and salad filled me. She was genuinely concerned lol and sat next to me with a look of genuine concern "Is everything okay, tell me, I'll fix it for you" I've never had a server take my wants and needs so personal and it was Awesome! My salad came out with the wrong dressing and I wouldn't let her take it back. I was fine with what they gave me instead. When we left, she gave me a salad to go with the dressing i had asked for! She went above and beyond and makes you feel like you are her only customer! Give that Girl a Raise LOL read more

Haven't been back for a while, but has to stop in for a Santa's Reinbeer while it's available on draft. Went to my go to which is a caprese sandwich with salt and vinegar fries. I have to say, was bummed with the sandwich. It has always been fresh tasting and refreshing but my bun was burnt and that flavor kind had ruined my favorite. That's why I could go five stars as always. Service is always prompt and friendly. The atmosphere is always comfy with that log cabin feel. read more

Went to NB 12/9. Rachelle was a great server. My date ordered sliders and fries- both great! I asked if they offered side salads, Rachelle said yes! Not offered On the menu tho. I also ordered Wienerschnitzel as a "small plate". It came with a small sprinkling of sliced cabbage (why not more?). It was no more than 1/8 thick, 2 pcs, I'm my opinion deep fried to dark brown. Tough to cut with a knife and fork. Think breaded jerky. Now the restaurant was not busy, but do they know what they're serving? The beer was great tho Should I go back? Hmmmm read more

On a warm day in June, our family enjoyed a lovely lunch here on the breezy deck. The hamburgers, burrata, and Cubano were very good. The fried fish sandwich was excellent. The fish stew was exceptional, a rich, creamy chowder with chunks of red potato and tender pieces of haddock. Nice ambience, great service. read more

We stopped in for lunch and loved everything. I thought their IPA was amazing. Poutine is also worth getting and I loved the fresh haddock on my salad. read more

All was really good but prices are way off, ie may, 2026 burgers is now $25.00 Service and food very good, nice place read more

Spectacular food, fantastic beers, and a phenomenal lineup of NEIPAs! What really makes this place a standout, though, is the service. We sat at the bar and received top-tier hospitality--our bartender, Alyssa, was attentive, friendly, and just overall wonderful. It was a happy accident finding this spot after our first choice closed early, but it turned out to be an absolute home run. Don't miss this one if you're in Portland! read more

Beer was great and food was even better, service was prompt and pleasant, really cool place. Highly recommend. I will be back. read more

Great atmosphere, love the cabin style set up, our server was great and food was excellent. Was with friends so didn't take any pictures. Love the burger and parm fries I also got a Double IPA which was flavorful but not as alcohol heavy. Would love to go back. read more

I have dined here many times....inside table, outside picnic table, outside upper deck, private party inside upstairs and last night at the bar. I met a friend for a beer. I always love they're IPA. My friend loves their red ale. Its a nice large space but still feels cozy.We didn't plan on eating but after seeing and smelling all the delicious food we ordered onion rings .....which are almost like threads, crispy and delicious. The Brussels sprouts were topped with fresh grated parmesan cheese and had a kick with siracha. read more

Was in town and popped in for lunch while running errands with my son and was really impressed. The main lot isn't very large but there is additional parking across the street. The space itself is pretty cool - it here's a good amount of seats but the tables are not on top of one another. You can see into the brewery portion where they make the beer too. We walked in without a reservation and got sat within 5 minutes. The service overall was great. For beer I had a pint of the Pale Ale. My son got the chicken tenders and fries and I ordered a fried chicken sandwich with the onion strings. Everything was REALLY tasty, but the onion strings were such a large portion. Would definitely recommend read more

Found this place with yelps help. Big open farm house kind of feel brewery. Had a bright and clean feel and I was expecting typical brew pub food but it was totally unexpected how good the food was. A lot of locally sourced ingredients and even the gin I ordered was local. Started with calamari and that was amazing! Highly recommend it! Had the fired chicken sandwich which came out moist and crispy, The mushroom pasta that had local mushrooms that was equally as delicious. The pasta was made with some sciracha infusion and it was cooked perfectly. Ended with a tiramisu that was as good as any italian restaurant. Servers were awesome and gave good suggestions! Wish I wasn't there just a night to try more dishes! read more

Stopped here after a long afternoon at the UNH graduation. Found through Yelp! This is definitely worth the visit even if it seems a little out of the way. It's actually only minutes from the Maine Mall. We stopped in at 7:30 on a Saturday night and were seated right away. Our server was Erik and he was attentive without being annoying and helpful when we said that we were first time visitors. We had the salt & vinegar French fries to start. I had the smokehouse burger with a salad for the side and my husband had the pulled pork bowl. Both were very good. The drinks were great as well. The open loft style building is a little loud, but is very beautiful. Would recommend especially for those who'll want craft beers. read more

Service was excellent. Got to sit outside on the deck. Had the best chicken wings in a LONG time! Beer choices were great as well. Couldn't decide on which one so I got a flight. Will be back! read more

Love this place, been visiting since they first opened. My only critique that I'd pass on is their chicken salad sandwich. It was vert tasty with a slight amount of heat. The issues were, it was a bit on the dry side, and they served it in a Ciabatta bread. The salad would keep falling out of the sandwich with every bite. I prob lost half of it, TG for forks! It should have been served in a torpedo roll, split on the top. This would have made it easier to eat. Great food overall, super nice people, and a fun place to sit and enjoy good beer. I wouldn't hold the chef's mistake on this one menu item against the whole restaurant. read more

Tasty beer and tasty food (but higher prices). The brewery itself is gorgeous and there's plenty of seating inside. I've only been once but had a great time with coworkers. read more

Came up on a trip to Portland and this is a must stop for drinks and food. We tried the fish soup that was made with haddock to start. All I can say is ...wow! I'm not a chowdah person but my husband is. This was hearty, thick soup offering large chunks of fish with potatoes. Rightfully seasoned! The food all looked amazing that was being served around is. We decided to try the burgers and they did not disappoint. Very flavorful and the ingredients were definitely farm fresh. I was very impressed with it all even the look inside of the brewery. Staff was very friendly and on top of everything. I highly recommend this place all around. read more

The food is OUTSTANDING! The beer is great of course, but we would come here for the food alone. Our group had the fall salad, chutney burger, Parmesan truffle, the chocolate chip ice cream sandwich and more. All so so so good! Atmosphere is excellent (we liked that there were no TVs). Service was also great. Helpful, attentive and fun. read more

This was my second time at Nonesuch. First time, I was at an event, and the food and drinks were excellent! This time, I went with my husband and a couple of friends for dinner and drinks. First off, the space is fantastic. Plenty of parking both in the front parking lot and across the street. Lots of room inside both upstairs and downstairs. Our waitress was sweet and attentive. For a drink, I had the winter sangria, which was delicious. Red wine and a cinnamon simple syrup made it taste very seasonal without being too sweet. I have to say I was a disappointed in the food this time. I had a bowl of the fish chowder and the Caprese appetizer. The chowder may have been the end of the pot, but it was extremely thick- and not in a good way. Think, a bowl of mashed potato texture. There was no soup to it and each spoonful left an empty spot in the bowl. Flavor was good, but texture was off quite a bit. The caprese was thinly sliced tomatoes, layered with a thinly sliced mozzarella cheese, crostinis, and a slight drizzle of balsamic glaze and basil. This would have been great, but the tomatoes were not ripe at all and had zero flavor. If you can't source quality, ripe produce in the winter, then please take an appetizer that depends on it off the menu until you can. I think I ate half of my meal and my husband picked at the rest of it. Very disappointed. In saying this, I have had the wings the last time I ate there and they were fantastic! My friends all had different salads and they looked really tasty. I regretted my decision not to try one. Nonesuch has a great selection of both beer and creative cocktails. Their food is hit or miss, but I will definitely be back to try it again. read more

THE ONION STRINGS!!!! Must have at Nonsuch! Super flavorful. The pre-teen girls passed the bowl from the other end of the table asking for a refill. Strong second: The ice cream sandwich (the cookie was warm and soft! What ice cream sandwich dreams are made of.) Third: The brussels with cranberry Super nice facility, love the chalet style and exposed wood. Large space with inside and outside being utilized. Smart design plan. Large parking lot- actually 2 parking lots (one across the street.) Kudos to None for being able to accommodate our party of 11 on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm. Thanks! Our server was a little odd. He gave me a pushback when I asked to just order everything all at one. We had 6 kids with us (2 under 4)- this wasn't my first rodeo but I assume he didn't have kids based on his response. He finally gave in to me. We tried to be as helpful as possible ordering efficiently for him. He said he would bring my friend a sampler of a beer and brought him a large glass of beer? My only dislike was the pork in the poutine lacked flavor. The gravy was delicious but the pork was down right bland. Killed the whole poutine order for us. True score: 3.75 read more

Decided to give this place a try after seeing a picture of the fizzle thin onion rings. Really happy to have found this gem of a place! We had the fish chowder which came out piping hot which is always a plus in my book! Brussels Sprouts, Calamari and the chicken sandwich was super flavorful and the Strawberry Salad was refreshing! Our server was great and made sure we added our photo of the onion rings, so here it is! read more

I travel across the eastern-half of the U.S. quite a bit for work, and one of the best parts of all that travel is finding a truly great brewpub with decent and flavorful beers, but food that outshines even a good beer...and Nonesuch River is that place is Downeast Maine! Flavors were fresh, and serving sizes were overly plentiful with every entrée that I observed coming out...validated by the plentiful number of "to go" boxes being brought with checks to tables by a busy yet courteous and friendly serving staff. My salad was perfectly paired to the season, and it was more than filling on a cool winter evening. And their beers - there wasn't a bad one in the bunch! Looking for a bite to eat in Portland? You can't go wrong here... read more

Had a wonderful lunch here with a friend on a busy Saturday. Service was attentive and friendly. We both enjoyed the ambiance of the high ceilings and exposed wood beams. I will say it does get a bit noisy when business is at peak. I appreciated that they fancied up my delicious mocktail as if it were alcoholic. The salads we ordered were fresh and filling. I wish we lived closer so it were easy to come back! read more

Nice brewery. Service was friendly. I had a cocktail that was very good - it had rum, vanilla vodka, apple cider, and cinnamon sugar rim. My husband had a flight of beers and said they were all good.

My wife and I were in the area and looking for dinner. Saw some great reviews and came in. It was busy, but we were seated right away Rachel was our server and was fantastic! We started with the fried pickles, and then I ordered the Cuban sandwich and my wife ordered the Cranberry salad. The pickles had good flavor and as most, burn your mouth when they 1st hit the table. My Cuban sandwich was really good, great smokey flavor. I had the onion straws with them. They were cold and so much salt. My wife's salad was good. Overall good visit, we will try different items again soon! read more

Won't be back. Food is good, but bar keep was not. Despite being an inconvenient location as it relates to where I live, I typically meet a friend there every other month. However, this evening, the bar keep got stressed as it became busy and got annoyed when trying to order. Normally this wouldn't bother me, but I couldn't help but notice the bar keep swooned over her "friends" who were visiting, avoiding attention to other patrons and when we called the bar keep out, they got annoyed. I was so annoyed I simply didn't order and left. read more

A neat little spot with plenty of room and options. It's a family-friendly brewery with plenty of non-alcoholic options. There's a bar towards the center of the building and a restaurant-style seating around it. Service was on point despite how busy it got, so shoutout to them. Some of the drinks are creative and good. I wanted to imitate some for a Thanksgiving dinner. I ordered a fish and chips which were lightly seasoned (the way I like it) and cooked perfectly. For those that want additional seasoning, you're more than welcome to request it to the server when making the order or you can add extra salt and pepper provided on the table. The slaw had a purple shade (I'm guessing it's from one of the cabbages), but the side wasn't really needed with the dish. read more

I didn't expect a brewery meal to be my favorite dining experience in Maine, but Nonesuch River Brewing surprised me with the Almond Crusted Haddock "large plate". The fish came with mashed sweet potatoes, mushroom risotto, and was topped with a crunchy almond topping and arugula. I combined small bites of the fish, potatoes, and risotto into each bite, and all of the ingredients meshed well together. I also appreciated that the fish was not deep fried, greasy, or over cooked- it was perfect! My husband had the pappardelle pork sugo, which the server said has been on the menu since the beginning and is a family recipe from one of the owners. He was also quiet satisfied with it, and we shared a bowl of delicious chowder as an appetizer. The chowder was hot and comforting after a chilly day, and we're glad we got it early in our trip before the weather got too warm. The brewery's design is open and clean, and the menu has everything from wings and sandwiches to upscale dishes like what we ordered. Of course, Nonesuch has a large selection of beers, and you can get flights. Sour beers are my favorite, and they don't have many of those, but you can get cocktails and wine, or choose one of the zero proof mocktails. We felt the prices were fair for the quality of food we got. The large plates reminded me of a dish I'd pay a lot more for at a fancier restaurant with over-the-top service. I appreciated that I could have a nice, quality meal in a casual environment here. Nonesuch River Brewing likely wouldn't be on your radar for sophisticated dining, especially looking at the outside, but you might be surprised like we were. Plus, you can have a flight of beer with it, and anyone else who's with you that wants bar food is covered too. read more

Reuben was delicious- on wonderful bread. AMAZING Caesar salad. Yes- a salad at a brewery was amazing. Burger was great and the side of pulled pork poutine was AMAZING. 10/10 would go again.
