They don't take reservations, and they don't have a waitlist you can join before arriving -- which almost deterred us since we'd been driving all day and the hangry monsters were in full effect. But we risked it and actually got seated right away. Service was great -- friendly and attentive, there just enough and exactly when you needed it. The cocktails were pretty good. I had the Proper Manhattan (Woodford Reserve whiskey, sweet vermouth, and Woodford Reserve chocolate bitters, garnished with a Luxardo maraschino cherry and orange wedge) and the Proper Pig (Crown Maple bourbon and amaretto, garnished with an orange slice and bacon). My dinner was great -- I opted for the Veggie Wedgie (house-made veggie black bean burger with fontina cheese, avocado, shredded lettuce, red onion, tomato, and a citrus chipotle aioli, served on a brioche bun), and I swapped the fries for a side salad. I also added on some mac and cheese, because you gotta be bad sometimes ;) I'd order all of it again! The others got the fried fish and fried shrimp plates and weren't as enthusiastic as I was -- they said the breading was a bit too thick. Overall, it was good, and I'd hit it up again if I'm ever back in town.

We have been loyal fans of his food, for decades, when he ran his Beale St. BBQ restaurant in Bath, which sadly no longer exists. He has a a FB page with information about pop up openings - Follow them closely and try to arrive at the beginning of his opening, he sells out FAST! It's a take out spot in Fairfield with plenty of parking given the fact people are picking up their food and leaving. We love everything he serves! literally everything on the menu! St. Louis Ribs, Brisket, Pork Shoulder, Mac and Cheese, Cabbage/Carrot side, Cornbread. So comforting and so delicious. We highly recommend stopping by when he is open.

You can…read morereally tell how much love and thoughts the owner puts into his items, especially the meat and sauces. If you're passing by this area, you absolutely have to stop by for a quick bite to eat. The meat is smoked right next to the stand and is first come first serve. He offered several selections of drinks and sides, but you have to try a side of slaw and the BBQ sandwich! The slaw had a nice sweetness to it, and I was impressed. The mac & cheese was fair, it just wasn't my normal style, but the BBQ made up for it. Obviously fresh and perfectly smoked. I don't think we could've stopped by the stand on a more beautiful, perfect day! Enjoy sitting outdoors by the food stand under a clean and well covered picnic area. The desserts were also fantastic and I recommend the key lime pie when it's available.

We wander a good bit when we travel. We actually went to place next door first, but this seemed so much more lively and fun! Open air bar for the most part. Great vibe. My kind of place. The folks operating the place were nice and I enjoyed myself immensely here. They take good care of you. On to the food... That was the best freaking chili dogs I have ever had! Chili was great, smothered in queso, and I mean smothered. Fresh cut fries too!! Swoon. I wish I had this in my belly every single day. I am a five star kind of guy, right?!? Or it could have been I was so stinking stoned that it felt that way! Either way.... Killer chili dog! I don't even remember what town we were in or how we got there. I had to google the place to figure out where we were. C had the pulled brisket French Dip! Borealis bread, Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, and housemade au jus. Amazing sandwich! The baked beans were very good as well. I am glad I took a bunch of pics and the food stood out so much so that it stayed locked in my memory banks so well. It was six months ago and I still think about this place. I do remember sampling all of the bbq sauces. I liked them all! I wish I had tried their bbq too.

I started my meal with the corn ribs and I'm so glad I did. They were flavorful with crispy edges and such a fun way to eat corn on the cob. Then I had the Station BBQ Quesadilla with the pulled pork. Oh my, the pulled pork was tender and juicy and stuffed into a crispy tortilla with lots of cheese and peppers and onions. I also got to take a few bites of a shared piece of corn bread. This came out hot with smoked paprika honey butter in the shape of an adorable pig on top. The corn bread was moist and sweet. At the end of our meal, the waitress even provided us with recommendations for our next destination.

The brisket and pulled pork was also excellent. Even the sides were admirable, especially the beans. Definitely order the beans! They do tend to run out of food (while we were there, they ran out of ribs and brisket), so you might want to come earlier in lunch. I also liked the eating set up alot. Well spaced and pleasant, you can see the harbor. Overall, if we are in the area again, we'd make it a point to come here. One thing though. The counter girl (who was cheery and nice) held up the tablet and asked which button she should press for you when it came to the tip. Now I'm going up to the window to order food, i'm fetching my own food and busing my own table. What I'm tipping for, I'm not really sure, but the way its done, it makes you feel like a heel if you don't cough up the same tip as a full service restaurant waiter would get. A bit mishegoss, not worth taking off a star though.

We went the first night we arrived in the Acadia area. Our VRBO was situated only minutes from the brewery and so we walked there the first night. As stated in a previous review of Atlantic Brewing, it is such a nice location. It has a great vibe, and I always appreciate the little playground where the kids can hang out while we drink beer or wait for our food. The service was wonderful and the food came out rather quickly. My daughter ordered the wings, which she absolutely loved (as did my husband and I). My son ordered the mac and cheese, which is cheesed to perfection. It was so creamy and delicious. My husband and I shared the sample platter and it was definitely enough food for the both of us. All the meats were smoked, juicy, and just delicious. We loved the jalapeno corn bread and I always love me a good bowl of baked beans. Everything was just top notch! I highly recommend Mainely Meats as a stop for lunch or dinner while you are on the island. You won't regret it!
