You be the judge and tell me if I am off base. My wife and I went in last night for an appetizer and a drink or two before heading back to our place here in Greenville. Location is great and it's always busy plus a strong hangout for locals or summer folks like us. Service was quick as was the food coming out, but here is the rub. We ordered a single pretzel, 4 beers @ $10 each and a large order of chicken tenders @ $18. They go by weight for the tenders which ended up being 4 in total. We asked if they could do half the order in one sauce & the balance in another which they did. What they failed to mention was a charge of $4 to do so. The total bill for what we ordered was $74 before tax and tip. Food was fine, average pub grub; nothing that would knock your socks off. Would you go back? To come back on a warm day and sit on their deck and have a single beer sure. Beyond that I'm not sure I can bring myself to do it. read more

The food was delicious, and the service was excellent! We look forward to dining here again on our next visit to Moosehead Lake!

The Stress Free Moose in Greenville is one of our favorite spots to stop for lunch whenever my wife and I are in town riding our side-by-side. The food is always great--fresh, hearty, and perfect after a day on the trails. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff is consistently friendly. Whether we're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a relaxing meal, this place never disappoints. A must-visit whenever you're in Greenville! read more

Food was delicious! we each had the sirlion tips. I had wanted the prime rib but it was already sold out by 6:30pm. Good service, delish chocolate cake for dessert. Nice selection of beers on tap and bottled. Ambiance was not great. Very noisy, TVs everywhere you look. I suggest going when you can sit outside if you want a peaceful meal. read more

What can I say about this place. Every season of the year it's amazing. Whether we come here by sled or four wheeler or our truck we love love love the stress-free lounge. All of their food is absolutely delicious and the service is excellent. I highly recommend the wings, the wedge salad and any of their chowders are phenomenal. Definitely a destination while in Greenville. read more

i went there for the first time this winter early snowmobiling w/my two grandsons and i can't say enough great things about this Jewel! No bullshit everything was better than expected and the hot waitresses rock out to an 850 Polaris and will be back in 27 read more

Very busy, but super laid back local pub, great service, delicious fresh food. Yum!! Lobster Mac n cheese is outstanding! read more

Great service, best food in Greenville!! Rubens , burgers and everything else, lots of draft beers

They do not honor reservations. after waiting 30 minutes and being told they were clearing a table- we inquired about the wait and were told they were too busy for us. Very disappointing and sadly they have a similar attitude to other restaurants in Greenville. Cook in and save money. read more

My husband loves this place for its prime rib on the weekends but it's also very good for lunch, nice soups and sandwiches. We bring folks who are visiting us in Maine here for a relaxing meal that's yummy! read more

The atmosphere looked promising but we were terribly disappointed. 1. Alcoholic drinks were so delayed; they arrived with our entrees. 2. Ordered the nachos for appetizer, the waiter said it wasn't possible to omit the black olives (like what??) on top. The cheese on top was one big glob and most chips didn't have any. The amount of chicken was minimal. 3. I ordered the summer salad with additional grilled chicken. The salad came out with shredded chicken that reminded me of canned chicken. And it was an extra $9! 4. Husband ordered fish and chips and he said that was good. He ordered green beans as a side and got coleslaw instead but the kitchen fixed it before we could complain. He said the green beans were tasty. 5. The kids had mac n cheese, that was standard. 6. Fries were good. Would absolutely not recommend. read more

Service was good despite the place being crowded. The vibe was fun and relaxed, with a pretty entertaining Bingo game going on. Food was good, drinks were okay. I will return next time I'm in the area. read more

Excellent food and drinks ! Friendly and efficient staff. Great outdoor seating in the upper deck.

It's loud, but the food we sampled (wings and chowder) were solid and well priced. Service was friendly and fast. Nothing particularly unique on the menu - it's pub fare done right. Definitely a spot locals frequent, and I can see why! read more

Food was great! Service was excellent! Ate al fresco. During the 2024 flyin! Cadence from WA - thank you!!! read more

Great food Great atmosphere and excellent and friendly service / located in Greenville- view of East Cove and in the summer you can eat outside with on their grounds or up on their deck. read more

By far my favorite. I stop in every time I'm in the area. Amazing staff and by far my favorite French fries in the state. No matter who is working I feel at home when I'm at Stress Free. read more

The experience here was okay. The food, drink, and atmosphere were good, but are bartender was questionable. I believe his name was Aaron. He was not personable and seemed to find his job daunting. Rarely came to check on us, and his attire seemed to be relatively inappropriate. Again, food and environment were good. However, this bartender's service was most definitely lacking. read more

Loved this place. Waitress was great. Food was great. Lobster roll was packed full of lobster meat. Fried clams were great. Our favorite place while staying in Greenville. read more

In all honesty I would probably give this 3.5 stars, but I'm feeling generous so I will round up to 4 stars. After a long day of hunting, my buddies and I stopped here for dinner. The place was loud and crowded, but we were seated quickly. The service was super friendly but very slow. The prices were fair and the food was decent pub fare. Nothing remarkable about this place but a good offering in Greenville ME. read more

Not my favorite. It took over two hours to get our food and it seemed like all the locals who came in after us got their food first. I guess we must have stuck out like a sore thumb that we were not from around there. The salmon was dry and not season at all. The squash was mushy it had been put to long or rewarmed over several times yuk yuk We had to ask several times for refills on our drink and even then they weren't coming to our table. The overall feeling that I got from this place that they didn't appreciate people from out of town coming to eat there definitely won't be back don't waste your time. read more

StressFree is a great spot for locals and tourists alike. Went for lunch here and had a fantastic meal. I had a special of summer berry salad to which I added grilled chicken. The berries were fresh, crisp greens, feta cheese, pecans, and perfectly cooked, juicy chicken. My friend had a cheeseburger and got the homemade chips. This burger was big with a fresh bun. The chips were delicious and crisp. Best part of the meal was soup my friend got. It was a special of Zuppa Toscana- if it is on the menu - get it! Creamy with potatoes, spinach, and sausage. Very friendly waitstaff. Will definitely be back! read more

Double decker place with a patio is awesome when weather is nice. Lobster tails were better tasting than Jameson lobsters but not bigger. Thought I was getting two whole lobsters but my fault for not reading. The sides were just eh. Sweet mash needs more maple and flavor. The butternut was ok. Lobster Mac was great with big claw meat. The Reuben would skip as it was weird tasting no good. Lobster roll was decent. Had the clam roll and that was tasty with the tarter. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Still could use a sauce or something on the bread. The ribs fell off bone and were great. Bacon wrapped scallops were ok. The syrup was a little watery. East side cider was probably best cider I've ever had. Should have bought some before I left. Great spot with good choices. read more

We decided to visit Greenville for a friend's birthday, none of us having been there during all our years in Maine. We settled on the Stress Free Moose almost by default, it being one of those towns where a lot of places close on Mondays. Our original intent had been for brunch, but the Moose opened at 11:00, so lunch worked for us just fine. The server, fairly new to the area herself, was great. She set us up with strong coffee and ice water and left us to peruse the typed, two-page pub menu. Whole belly clams are usually a big draw for me, and the price was quite reasonable, but for some reason I opted for the fish and chips entree. It was the best fish ad chips I remember having for years, so much so that I may be reluctant to order it elsewhere for a while out of a feeling that they couldn't match up. The fries were tender inside and also very good. The cole slaw serving was larger than it usual is as a side in these places, but it was no hardship as it was smooth and tasty. We skipped dessert, except for a takeout birthday order of Tiramisu for our friend. I can only imagine how busy this restaurant and indeed Greenville itself gets on a summer weekend. We plan to come back for a boat ride on Moosehead Lake and even if we come on a different day when more places are open, I imagine we will step into the Stress Free Moose again.

It's the StressFree Moose but the take out process today was Stressful. The restaurant flow was steady but not too busy. The ordering system is flawed, I noticed all the slips are hand written & a bit disorganized. While picking up my order I was directed to a register near the well/ drink pick up. The space was congested and it was a bit chaotic. The bartender blanked on whether or not we paid. The communication could've been a lot better and the ordering/payment system needs improvement. We called in 3 orders buffalo chicken wings, 2 cups chowder one bowl chili, caesar salad with grilled chicken and a pretzel. They forgot to make 2 orders of wings. They also didn't put Buffalo sauce in with the order we did received. Nor do they toss the wings in sauce unless specified. The chili was good! I wish the offered sour cream/ cheese with it. The chowder was not recommended, nor was the pretzel cheese. It was more of a paste than a cheese. The wings that were tossed in the Buffalo sauce were good, the plain ones were okay. When I went back for the two orders of wings they forgot. The order was in-fact prioritized and it came out very quick. The staff was apologetic and kind. However a staff member sitting outside with me mentioned they had a king busy day yesterday, so did everyone during the flu in weekend. I just didn't feel like that was a good excuse as to why they messed up today. read more

The restaurant is pub fare with a very friendly vibe. We sat at the bar. Food is good and service was as well. Easy parking and the ability to walk from there into town was great. They have music on certain nights as well. Will definitely return. read more

This place is just like the other reviews say - loud, busy, and so much fun. If you want to go somewhere you can talk, this is not the place to go. If you're ready for some great local music, fun atmosphere, and good food, this is the place to go read more

I want to be as fair as possible with this review. Service was good. They seated us quick and got us drinks super fast. We only ordered appetizers for our meal. This is we're things go off the rails. Everything that has a cheese component in it, is made with cream cheese, even the spinach artichoke dip was made with cream cheese. It was the craziest thing ever. Ordered pretzel with beer cheese, it also had cream cheese in it. Maybe it's a northern Maine thing and I'm not going to knock it. It's just when you are used to things being prepared one way universally, it's very off putting. It was for us. The ambience of the place was very nice and quaint, loved the outside deck upstairs. Locals seemed to love the bar area. read more

We went here upon arriving in Greenville. We all enjoyed our meals, especially the salmon caesar salad and the fish and chips. We sat upstairs on the deck, the atmosphere and service were very pleasant. We liked it so much, we went back the next night! read more

large party had steak tips, NY strip, haddock Florentine. everything was amazing. highly recommended the pain killer!

Fun place for lunch. My husband loved the burger. The fries and chips were very crispy and tasty, but a bit greasier than I prefer. The eggrolls tasted good, but the grease had gotten inside making the whole very greasy. They dripped the whole time I was eating them and I only ate the filling of 2. The staff were excellent! We will come back again and I will avoid fried. read more

Such good food! Everything we got was high end top quality food. I'm a vegetarian and they bent over backwards to serve me which I so appreciate it. Husband and kids loved the haddock and the turkey and pastrami sandwiches. And their house chips are seriously to die for! highly recommend, excellent service, great location and just plain great food. each time we come to Moosehead we stop here at least a couple times. read more

Excellent food, excellent service, outdoor patio for sitting with the dogs. We came her after the boat driver on the Mt Kineo shuttle recommended it after our 5 mile hike. It was the perfect end to the day with the kids and the dog. My wife got the haddock sandwich, which she said was one of the best she's ever had. The Reuben was amazing, the giant pretzel was off the chain! This place was so good, we went a second time in our way out of town. The only thing I would change about this place is the host situation, which tends to crowd the door and there are rules about where children can and can't be, which makes it feel weird while trying to get your family to a table. Stress free is a great spot for beer and food! read more

Depends what you want? I found it to be more of a bar than a restaurant. I bit on the noisy side with the locals at the bar. Food was ok. Prices were good. Service at the bar was a little slow. Not sure if I would go back. Maybe just for drinks. Lots of nicer options just down the street. read more

We went on a Sunday afternoon to grab a bite to eat. Yes, it was noisy inside, but we were fortunate enough to grab a table upstairs, outside on a beautiful sunny day. We did have the best Reuben around- we've been on a mission, as in the Freeport area we've encountered soggy bread (too much oil on the grill) and a puny sandwich with barely any meat. Stress Free Moose by far has the best we've had to date! Like the Reuben, the service was top notch. Chelsea was not only attentive, she had a smile on her face the whole time. Kuddos to her, the Stress Free is lucky to have her. We will be back! read more
