Then the burgers came out and what great flavor! I had the House burger with Caramelized onions, withheld the jalapeños, and thoroughly enjoyed it!!! Husband had the Cheeseburger, no onion!

Located in the Old Port they offer outdoor seating to expand seating. This restaurant is SMALL! Be aware that they only have stool seating, no low tables or chairs. We walked in and started looking for the rest of the restaurant and what you see, is it. Thankful for the seats at the bar. Menu is unique with various spins on the staple burger. We decided to share the Bacon bacon burger with some fries. Beers on tap, various signage with cows, chickens, and a pig to symbolize the variety offered. Bartender/server was social with all and happy to answer any questions. Gentleman I sat next to is a construction worker who's here for an extended stay while building says he's here twice a week the burgers are so good. We shall see. Burger and fries a short time after ordering. Burger was very good, bacon bacon bacon YUM!! Fries were crispy outside and tender inside. Billing is a first, NOTHING comes with your $20 burger, nothing! Fries are an additional charge. Unusual and costly. $30 total for a burger and fries is steep. It was very good, but not sure we will return.

Despite their food truck being around for some years, I had not tried their food prior to this…read morefirst visit. Very impressed and will be a spot I return to for sure! Seeing the news of them opening up on Thursday I knew we needed to visit their first weekend open. Ordered online and had a minimal wait once we got there, with only one hiccup. For some reason their system didn't print our order of mozzarella sticks but they made a batch really quick! My wife and I each got a different 10 inch pizza and split a small order of the mozzarella sticks. The pizza was perfectly sized for an individual in my opinion and tasty so good! Fresh ingredients with lots of toppings used, they didn't skimp on anything. Some of the best pizza I have had in awhile! Secondly, the mozzarella sticks I would say are the best I have had! Such a flavorful seasoned batter with fresh mozzarella inside fried to perfection! The small order had 6. I hope they do well as I will be a frequent visitor looking forward to my next pizza! Want to return and try their burgers, wings, and even their grab and go breakfast sandwiches! I suspect most of their business will be ordering online/pickup but they do have a few tables available inside. If you are in the area and craving pizza this is a spot you must check out!!!

Wanted to find a nice kind of hole in the wall beer bar and just happened to walk down this alley…read moreand stumbled upon Mash Tun. I should have just checked on Yelp since one of my Yelp friends gave this five stars! I have to concur because I stopped her with my co-worker and my husband for a couple of beers and have to say two things: 1) they have a great beer list that rotates frequently, 2) the bartenders are top notch. You know sometimes you go to a cool beer place and it seems like the bartenders want to do ANYTHING but actually give you a beer in exchange for cash? This place is the opposite and it's wonderful. Very helpful with the beer list, suggestions, tastes, etc. They are also quick to offer another beer where as some places it seems like pulling teeth to try to get a beverage. It was lively but not slammed when I was there but I can tell these guys would manage great even if the bar was two or three deep with customers. Yeah, I thing the Mash Tun is one of the best beer bars I've been to and in a place like Portland that is in the top echelon of beer cities, that is an achievement to respect.

Blazes Burgers - Is this the best burger spot in all of Maine?…read more861 Main St, Westbrook, ME 04092 If you're a burger lover on the hunt for bold flavors and unique toppings, Blazes Burgers just might be your holy grail. This Westbrook gem is known for its stacked burger menu, and after trying a few of their specialties, I can see why locals are obsessed. We tried three different burgers: The Pesto Burger - A 6 oz fresh patty topped with creamy pesto and your choice of cheese. Pro tip: take the kitchen's advice and add tomato for a refreshing bite that cuts through the richness. As a pesto fanatic, this one hit all the right notes for me--herby, savory, and perfectly messy. Definitely my personal fave. Crack Cheeseburger - The name doesn't lie. This beast comes loaded with grilled onions, bacon, your preferred cheese, and a feisty feta spread that brings just the right kick. Rich, indulgent, and absolutely unforgettable. Black and Blue Burger - Bacon, grilled onions, sweet bourbon sauce, and blue cheese crumbles all on a brioche bun. The sweet-savory combo is magic, and the blue cheese gives it a gourmet edge. The crack sauce deserves its own shoutout--creamy, a little spicy, and totally addictive. Pair any burger with their fries or tots and you've got yourself a seriously satisfying meal. Rating: 8/10 A strong contender for Maine's best burger, no doubt. The menu is creative, the execution solid, and the flavors linger in the best way. Whether you're a pesto person like me or all about the boldness of blue cheese, Blazes has something for you. Is this your go-to burger joint? Got a spot you think tops this? Let me know--I'm always up for a burger adventure!

When I eat at a hotel restaurant, I usually don't have high expectations. City Farmhouse defied my…read moreexpectations. The food was so flavorful, quickly prepared, and very creative with its presentation. Local sourcing and very high-quality ingredients. The service was on point, the ambiance was warm and relaxing, and the value was more than reasonable. The same meal in Portland would have easily cost forty percent more. I wish I had taken pictures of the meal, but I was tired and hungry and just forgot. My burger and fries were spot on. The fries stayed crispy from the beginning to the end. The burger meat was fresh and very tasty. The dessert was next level, and I did get a picture before eating it, lol. Whether you stay at the hotel or not, City Farmhouse is always an excellent choice.

The lunch menu appeared interesting however it took so long to get our food and when it finally was served several items that supposedly came with the meal were "unavailable". Since we were the only people in the restaurant we could not understand why it took forever to get our food. Each of us was disappointed when it did come. My fish sandwich had very little fish in it and what there was was strangely "rubbery". What would normally be an hour's lunch took two hours by the time we got our food and ate. We could not understand what was going on in the kitchen. Our server was pleasant but it did not make up for the overall experience. Will not return.

However, it took more than 40 minutes for our food to arrive and no one stopped by to let us know how much longer it would be. It wasn't busy at the time. When the food arrived it was adequate but not great. Most of the food was overcooked and obviously sitting for a while. The fish in the fish and chips was way overcooked. The fries for all of us were over done, dry and hard (and just warm). My mushroom and goat cheese burger was under done from my request for medium, barely warm and had an overwhelming amount of goat cheese. The mushrooms were great. Selection of food and appetizers was good although we didn't sample. I don't think we will be back.

Several more visits since my last review…read more Some things haven't changed: -- The beers are still great. Swish, Here's to Feeling Good All the Time, Nothing Gold, and Reciprocal are a formidable foursome. At any given time, you can usually get at least two, more often three, sometimes all four. -- You'd be hard pressed (pun intended) to find a better smashburger in Portland, but I'd also put it up against any regularly-offered burger I've had in Portland--smashed or otherwise. I love everything about it, from the high caliber of the beef to the fresh pillowy milk bun to the exhilaratingly strong cure of the bacon to the razor-thin cutting of the vegetables to the execution that gets even a smashburger burger juicy. -- I'm still not crazy about the wings. They have a frozen dinner feel to them. A few things, though, have changed: -- Full service now instead of having to order everything at the bar. That's a plus. -- The place is much more crowded-- including screaming tykes-- on the weekends. Not a plus, but can't fault a place for its own popularity. -- The fries are now the industrial strength coated kind. A big minus and a sad drop off from prior greatness, but better that than from an item off the main cast. -- You can now order beer cans to go from the table rather than having to get in line. A nice convenience. A few things to know: -- It's a surprisingly good option for vegetarians and pescatarians. The veggie burger and the grilled fish sandwich are both much more than solid. -- There's outdoor seating in front of the building and also to the right. -- The bar room to the right of the entrance is adults only, so if those screaming tykes get on your nerves, this is the place to be. -- You can still order beer at the bar if that's your preference over table service. Still a favorite, and the combo of beer, food, and space is tough to beat (Mast Landing and Maine Beer in Freeport are also somewhere in that echelon).

This beer release brought my wife and I for our visit today. As an IPA fan I enjoyed this new version very much for its hop saturated citrusy forward taste that drank quite smooth for the 9.5%. At this point now Bissell is broken into two separate parts. The first will be the space welcoming to families and is more of their restaurant style area. Appeared to be a popular area and does offer reservations. My preferred area is the Bissell Garden as they call it. Those entering need to be of drinking age and have more lounge vibes where you order at the bar. It still offers full kitchen menu so is perfect. Particularly my favorite is snagging bar stools to grab some beers and food. I had to try out the Super Swish while my wife grabbed their red ale named Turnpike. Then food wise we split their kitchen special Classic Poutine. Some of the best classic kept simple poutine I have had. The perfect comfort food for yet another cold weather day in Maine. Have been impressed by all the food from Bissell. Truly the only negative still stands being the fact it's on Thompson's Point and required paid parking (not Bissell Brothers call but still). One of the most popular Maine breweries for a reason especially in the IPA game. Give all their other style of beers a try too though, top notch brewery!

Very generous portion, two of us couldn't finish the fries.

I had the Wild Maine Blueberry & Kate's Buttermilk shake. It was very creamy and delicious, fabulous blueberry flavor, and they give you the extra that doesn't fit in the chilled glass, so another generous portion!! The atmosphere and service were great, there's a magnet board with words along the wall by the bar, so we were entertained as we worked on our fries and milkshakes!!
