Rollies is a great spot and seems like it's full of locals which is a great sign. Seating can be really tricky. It's seat yourself and the space is very tight. One big table down the middle with some small booths. The service was quick given how busy it was, but it did take a while for someone to actually come see us. The food was fantastic. My husband had a wrap and I had the Reuben - one of the best Reuben's I've had. The hand cut fries were great too. I'd definitely recommend eating here. read more

Th waitress only stopped by once --we got the feeling we were a bother. A water refill would have been nice. Only townies are welcome. If you are a visitor don't bother. read more

Local dive bar serving good food at very reasonable prices. Very busy so we sat at the bar. We both had delicious burgers , one blue cheese , one cheddar . So busy and still great service. read more

It was a crap night and I just wanted something edible. Imagine my surprise when I got really good food! I ordered potato skins and their chicken nuggets. Holy cow, they were both good. The nuggets are supposedly house made, and they tasted like it. Quality chicken and a nice breading. The potatoes were large and cooked to perfection. They were too much to finish, as were the nuggets. I consider that a slam dunk. The person who took my order over the phone was so sweet and kind. Not like the place I called first, where the phone person was rude and dismissive. All in all, it was a good experience. read more

So, my husband had wanted to try this place...so on his day off we made the trip to Belfast for lunch. We arrived about 1:30...past the rush, but tables had not been cleared. We were to seat our selves...so we just chose the least nasty table and sat down. There appeared to be only one server. Not a good sign. Anyway, she blew past us several times. I finally said excuse me...after she cleared the table behind us...a couple who came in about 5 minutes after we sat down...anyway, she blew me off with a wave of her hand and mumbled she'd get there. Thankfully the menus are already at the table, so we had plenty of time to decide. When the server returned and cleared the table she eventually asked if we'd like something to drink. We said yes, ordered and said we'd like to start with fried pickles. No comment or acknowledgment, she turned and walked away. Our drinks were delivered and shortly thereafter the pickles arrived. They were OK. Not crispy...slightly greasy...just OK. We placed our lunch order when the pickles arrived. I had the Ruben and my hubby had the blue cheese burger. I had onion rings and he had fries. Let's just say the pickles and the fries were the best part of lunch. It's a typical dive bar. But the food left a lot to be desired. read more

Had the best fish and chips in my life. The service was great. The owner was there but I couldn't tell who was the actual owner because everyone was doing such a great job. The only thing that I have for a negative is the booths are really small and are hard to sit in. Next time I will just sit at a regular table. read more

Clean place, tons of t.v's to watch a game and great drink selection. They play classic rock music which is fitting for the place, but it is very loud and hard to have a conversation. Our waitress was very kind and helpful. Let's talk food, don't expect a chef cooking, definitely only cooks. Ordered the pretzel bites with cheese, pretzels were definitely from the freezer and the cheese came from a can. I ordered the Mexican burger with fresh cut fries, burger was not fresh, definitely from the freezer and could have used some kind of sauce on it it was dry. The fries are frozen shoe string fries that they call fresh cut. The person with me got the chicken ceaser wrap with spicy fries. The wrap was mostly wrap and very little filling and the fries are just frozen curly fries with light seasoning on them. I have definitely had better bar food at other places. Skip the food but go for a drink, watch the game and listen to the music, especially if you don't fed like having conversations with your friends. read more

Hamburger and hand cut fries were so so. Fries a bit over crunchy and hamburger bun was mushy. They say they toast the buns but it didn't look toasted. Kind of noisy atmosphere typical bar. I wouldn't recommend children cause it is a bar read more

We come every summer to Belfast to visit family and this was the first time we got a chance to pop in. The staff are so friendly and kind, the atmosphere was awesome it kind of reminds me of a Belfast version of Cheers! The food was delicious- highly suggest checking out their specials. We had a delicious spicy fried chicken sandwich with fresh fries - curly and farm stand(thick steak cut fries). Overall a cute little spot to stop in before bopping all over town or heading out on the boat! read more

Food wasn't hot at all. Spuds bacon was still pink, Potato was cold and cheese wasn't melted for starters. Ordered a chipolte chicken wrap, all the cheese was fresh out of a bag, the wrap wasn't warm at all and the chipolte mayo that was supposed to be on the wrap was a squirt in the last bite. Unimpressed. Nice waitress, Angie. read more

Service is a little slow but they are always busy! Burgers and wings are excellent! Definitely worth trying!

The food was okay, service was nice. Honestly, if you just want a beer and some simple grill food this might be the ticket. Sit in the front window to the left of the door for a beautiful view of the water. read more

Came to visit my sister and we decided to go across the river to grab a little lunch and this was a great place to start. Great menu lots of options great bar lots of local beers. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu service was great lots of laughs such a quaint little spot in a beautiful town read more

We have been coming to Rollies for over a decade and this used to be our regular Sunday lunch spot. Unfortunately over the past several years Rollies has been in a bit of a decline. The food is mediocre. I keep adjusting my selection but nothing is really good. Nothing on the menu brings me back. Last visit I got the Rolliean Philly Cheese steak and while it looked good it tasted like someone got carried away with the salt shaker. Very salty. Onion rings looked good and were nice and hot but lacked flavor. This meal was consistent with experiences over the past couple of years. My husband's complaint is that the beer list would have been great 15 years ago but lacks anything to make you say "wow, what a great selection of local beers". And there are plenty of local breweries nearby. On the plus side, the service is good and the patrons are an older, nice crowd. It's a place comfortable for anyone, any age. If you're looking for a place that can serve a good sized group this can be your spot. Nice big parking lot out back. read more

Rollie's Bar and Grill - Philly Steak and Cheese Sub Sandwich - Sports Bars Near Me - Belfast, Maine

Friday afternoon in summer with a staff shortage as mentioned on an overhead chalkboard. After ordering for a table of 4, we waited 75 minutes for our food to be delivered. This would not have been as annoying if the waitress had said when we sat down that food might take up to an hour, or if she had checked in during the 75 minutes. She did stop by the table after about 65 minutes to say they were working on our food now. And she did take $5.00 off the bill because we had to wait. After all that everyone said the food was just ok. We had haddock sandwich, Turkey cranberry wrap and an undercooked burger. Pretty sure next time, I will put up with a 20 minute wait for a table at Darby's around the corner. read more

Love their Chicken Quesadilla and Buffalo Chicken Pizza. Loads of food and great prices. read more

It is a pub with pub food. The atmosphere depends on the clientele that are in attendance. They have several games playing on the TV. Service is sometimes slow but usually very friendly read more

Went for the first time last week. LOVED IT. I can't say enough about the great waitress, strong drinks, tap Guinness, low prices and delicious food. What a deal, Olympics in the background on the screens created a festive ambiance too. Brought my peeps in from outta town and all of us were pleased. read more

Food is great, service is as well, mostly a locals hangout, so very appealing in that respect. There is a great variety of beer on tap, food as I previously noted is great, seems to be a lot of cooked from scratch, if your looking for reheated Sysco product this is NOT the place for you. Only downside is that being in downtown Belfast parking in the summer can be a PITA read more

Was in town during a New England road trip and caught dinner here. Great food and bar. Friendly staff and the locals were giving off a nice vibe. read more

A long time traditional sportsbar/pub in downtown Belfast, Rollie's has room for all! Friendly, experienced servers ensure your drink order is taken as soon as you are seated and your food choices arrives hot. We go for the best burger in Belfast and are never disappointed. The menu is composed of the normal bar choices from wings to onion rings and fries. A real sleeper which never fails to satisfy me is the mushroom soup. Drop in and feel at home on Main Street in Belfast. read more

Went to Rollies and it was good. I had a Ruben with onion rings. Sandwich was good and enough rings for the whole table. Wife got grilled haddock and said " not good" dry. Her friend had a buffalo wrap and enjoyed it. Not bad. read more

Twice I experienced difficulty getting a table as a single person in downtown and the staff at Rollie's were busy but happy to help me feel comfortable. I sat outside. And though the service wasn't;t. QUICK, i wasn't in a hurry, I'm in maine after all. Sticking with the standard and fried the food ie excellent, and the staff do know their pours, so go ahead and ask about what you might want. Come with a crowd and you are just as welcome read more

Rollie's Bar and Grill - Fried fish, of course - Sports Bars Near Me - Belfast, Maine

This is a nice bar. Most importantly if you are planning to eat later than 8 pm there are not a lot of places that serve food. However, Rollie's is serving food till 9:30 pm I believe. My boyfriend and I were visiting on the weekend and we did not know that all places stopped serving food so early, we were so happy when we found Rollie's Bar. They have tasty food. The portions are huge. My boyfriend ordered a starter and it was huge, the size was as for the main dish. Everyone in the bar was friendly, we liked the atmosphere there. A good place to go and have a couple of drinks. read more

I needed a spot to watch my beloved NFL team on Thursday Night Football, and luckily this spot delivered and had the game on because there's not a lot of other options. Here's the good and the bad: The craft beer prices were so insanely low that I thought I had an error on my bill. That's good! The hard-rock, Limp Bizkit style 90's music playing over the playoff baseball and Thursday Night Football was barely tolerable. That's bad. The servers were very friendly AND sympathetic when my teams quarterback went down to what looked like a serious injury. That's good! The food menu was dramatically overpriced. That's bad. So like anything, it all kinda balances out and the low beer prices were the definite highlight. My recommendation would be play the game sound rather than the angsty teen soundtrack, but it's not my bar and not my call! read more

Wanted to enjoy this spot but the food is mediocre at best. Waste of money. Also stairs to kitchen are very dirty, imagine what's downstairs. read more

We've been summering in Maine for more than 20 years owning a cottage here for most of that time. We've made it a tradition to come Rollies when we arrive. I cut them a break during Covid. Things were tough... help was scarce as was business. But here we are in 2023 and there's only 3 things at Rollies that's improved... the worthless cheap plexiglass between booths is gone, they are no longer using disposables to serve food on and there is a decent selection of beer. The food and service, not so much. The food is amateurish at best and the service was totally lacking. How can a bar not be working to keep beer glasses full? Is it the management or the help? Sorry Rollies... time to find a new tradition. And what happened to the peanuts? read more

Great fish and chips. Service was fast and courteous. Staff were great. Really liked the local atmosphere.

Rollie's provided a decent stop while in Belfast. We stopped in for lunch and half 2 if the Chelsea v Leicester game. August Sunday and as busy as expected. Virtually every table was full, many with 6 to 10 people. The crowd was mixed, some eating lunch, while others were having appetizers and bloody Mary's. Our table had a Caesar salad with chicken, a bowl of clam chowder, mini lobster roll sandwiches, and chicken bites. Everything was good, just good, not great, and nothing to complain about. Given that it is a weekend in the summer, expect service to be slow, and it was pretty slow. However the experience of the restaurant was pretty good, the crowd was lively, and it had a vacation vibe to it. Luckily for us, the soccer game was in fact on TV. However the feed kicked out every six seconds and the screen went black which was rather annoying. Nonetheless, this is a fun restaurant and worth a stop if you're in Belfast. read more

Rollie's is the real deal in Belfast. The environment is casual, like an old-timey pub with workers coming straight from the docks to grab a beer after work. The food was tasty and came in large portions - we split the Thai wings, chicken quesadilla, and potato "pub" skins between three of us for dinner and it was just the right amount. Service was super friendly, they were pretty crowded but our waitress was very attentive and kept our glasses full. Highly recommend for any visitors looking to eat like the locals! read more

New to the area. Stopped in last minute and so glad I did. The fried pickles were some of the best I've had. They were nice and crispy but still having that juice from the pickle, and I'm from Snooki's state so you know I've had some good ones. The fish and chips were great! The chips were hand cut and perfect. The service was friendly and nice. You can tell it's a place that the community goes to and has its regulars. I look forward to becoming a regular here. read more

Clearly a favorite of the locals. Excellent draft beer selection and decent food. Super friendly staff.

Ah-mazing! First time visiting. Great beer selection!! We could see as we walked up that they were busy but still greeted right away and asked what we wanted to drink. It took a few minutes for our order to be taken but very understandable considering how busy! Food.... we ordered sweet Thai wings to start and they were delicious(spicy)!!! Fish and chips for dinner. Portion was just right and soooo good! Also ordered the Sunday burger, which was also very good! Really no complaints!! Definitely will come back. read more

Stopped on to order take out on Sunday afternoon. Was told it would be 30 minutes. No problem. We sat at a table at the bar, ordered drinks and watched the Pats game. Not even 20 minutes later our food came out. Fast, friendly service Took our food over to Marshall Wharf brewing to enjoy more beers and our burger and wings outside. Fantastic! read more

I don't like to write negative reviews and I usually fight off the urge. This is different. I have been coming to Rollies for 10 years. I'm polite, I tip better than well, having been behind the bar for a long time, and I'm sympathetic to being on the floor of a busy restaurant when it's super busy and maybe the kitchen is on drugs that night or just in the deep weeds. I've been there and it can test you, that's for certain. But the wait staff at Rollies almost defies description for people working in the hospitality trade. Not only are they generally not remotely hospitable, not only are they completely unclear on the concept, but on a night when they're in a bad mood, a not infrequent occurrence , they are surly to the point of being disdainful of patrons. Their specialty, cultivated to a high art, is ignoring you. They will walk by your table multiple times and look the other way because they don't want to see you trying to get their attention after they haven't been by your table for 20 minutes. When they do stop by, ask them a question about the menu at your peril. They do not brook questions graciously. The worst part is that they are proud of this behavior. You can see it. It's a power trip to them. They are the very worst kind of servers - they have a chip on their shoulders and want to make abundantly clear from the start that you are NOT the boss of them. (I don't want to be anyone's boss; I jsut want the beer I've been sitting her 15 minutes trying to coax one of you to get me as you glide by not making eye contact!) Rollies can be a very unpleasant experience, even for regulars. Apparently, if you didn't go to high school with them, the wait staff assumes you'r one of "them" and immediately takes a combative stance. I've worked local bars, this is not the way you do it. You take care of your friends, you take care of your regulars and you take care of first timers. Not that hard. So if you want decent second-rate bar food and you have a hankering to deal with ignorance and inhospitably from a surly waitress with a chip on her shoulder, this place is for you. Read the reviews; this behavior is commonplace there. Rollies is an unmitigated disgrace to the restaurant/bar business. They seem to think that the word hospitality is Latin for FU. The fact that it is busy is a testament only to the complete lack of a decent watering hole in Belfast. read more

Great local bar. Good food with a great atmosphere. Perfect place to have a good cold beer and a warm bacon cheeseburger. We went for cheap taco night but they were sold Out fast. So I assume they can only be great. read more
