A BEAUTIFUL lounge area to the side of the bar. With green velvety chairs and a cool retro looking couch. Service was great, Melissa (I think?) was super kind and sweet! Our food was tasty, we ordered brisket plates, with baked beans, potato salad and cornbread. Delish!!! They also have an incredible sounding drink menu! I've got to go back and have drinks at the bar. I'm so excited to have this restaurant downtown Gardiner, right next to Johnson Hall Opera House. Gardiner needs nightlife, so this is very much welcomed. I hope the hype around Bucks brings more people into town also more businesses come in as well!!! Congrats and welcome to town!!!!

After being an established restaurant in Freeport for years now, it seems like this will be a great addition to the Gardiner restaurant scene. Stopping in on opening night, we left our expectations open as we knew it would be a new experience for all involved: us, other customers, servers, chefs, etc. We were definitely pleased with our experience, enjoyed some quality food, and are excited to go back in the future. We ended up trying the ribs, burnt ends, chicken wings, and brisket. What an array of delicious BBQ! They were out of a few things, so this was basically the smoked sampler but with brisket instead of sausage. The menu does specify no substitutions so we wouldn't expect this every time, but we appreciated their ability to offer such a nice a selection on their busy opening night. All the meats were slow cooked to perfection and had delicious flavor from their dry rubs. They had four types of BBQ sauces on the table too, which paired nicely with the meats. My two favorites were the North Carolina style and the Blueberry Haze. For sides and starters, we had the coleslaw, mac and cheese, corn bread, fried onion strings, and fried dill pickle chips. The fried pickles were breaded nicely, weren't too greasy or too sharp of a vinegar flavor, and they paired nicely with the ancho lime mayo. The cornbread was straightforward and good, a little sweet but not overly so. The onions were great, very similar to a blooming onion but less messy to eat. The mac and cheese was very creamy with a subtle smoky flavor, which was delicious! And the coleslaw was also a standout, with a creamy base, finely shredded cabbage and carrots, and great flavor. This was a long review, but this is definitely an exciting addition to the area!

My husband loved the blue burger and said his fries were excellent. We also really loved the stuffed mushrooms, which are stuffed with a spinach and artichoke dip with some crunchy bacon on top. The mushrooms are large, so it's a very filling appetizer.

This is a review for their brunch…read more First of all I have never understood brunch. I was always confused when people said they were going to brunch. Are you eating breakfast or lunch? I had no idea what they were talking about. That was my mindset until I found this place. This buffet is overflowing with so many delicious options that I could try to sit there and eat it all but I know it won't happen. From a salad bar, pastries and bread bar, omelette station, pasta station, desserts and plenty of entrees to choose from, there is no way you can leave hungry or disappointed. If you haven't tried this place I highly encourage you to.

The storefront is adorable with its red barn color and Victorian vibe, and inside you'll find cozy seating areas both indoors and outdoors, perfect for lingering a bit after shopping. The staff here are beyond friendly and helpful. In fact, this is the very place where the "blueberry pie survey" happened. We asked the lady behind the register where to find the best blueberry pie, and she started to ask customers who came by who they recommended. They directed us to Moody's Diner. Locals and staff alike are quick to share stories and recommendations, which makes it feel like you're part of the community even if you're just passing through. The store itself is full of surprises. They've got a wood-burning pizza oven (yes, in a general store, how cool is that?), hot lattes, teas, and other comforting drinks, because nothing beats sipping a latte in a Victorian-style shop while digging into a fresh out of the wood burning oven gooey cheesy slice of pizza. Add in their great selection of beer and wine, plus Maine classics like whoopie pies and Moxie soda, and you've got something for everyone. A local gentleman even gave me the full history of Moxie, and that kind of friendliness is exactly what makes this place so special. Outside, you'll find pretty flowers and herbs adding to the charm. Owen's is quaint, welcoming, and one of those stops that makes a Maine trip extra memorable. Definitely worth a visit or 5! I'll most def be going back!
