The food made me throw up 4 times in one night. Shitty ambiance. slow service. fuck this horrible place

Terrible experience. Awful prime rib, salad bar ran out of lettuce. Very slow service. Would not recommend this place.

As with other reviews it did take a while to get served, but these days we expect to wait a bit. The waitress both nights we went was very nice and working basically alone doing her best and keeping a good attitude. The Chicken Parm was very good, and my husband's French fries were worth going for! The atmosphere was good and the camp feeling of the decor really fit. We will go back. read more

Trail's End Steakhouse & Tavern - Chicken Parmesan - American Near Me - Eustis, Maine

See all

If you stumble upon Eustis on your ATV and are starving, this is not a bad stop to grab a meal, or drinks with a large party. Rustic setting, large venue, outdoor seating, good service, fair amount of choices on the menu, food is merely OK though. None of the staff wore masks serving guests indoors, just seemed too early to leave all the covid safety precautions behind; guests may not have been vaccinated yet. read more

Unfriendly staff, arrived without reservations and staff looked at us and said we're not open and prime rib is not ready. The door was unlocked so not sure why we were told they were closed. They sat us but only after a few more negative comments. Food was lame. read more

Ok so I had heard great things about this place. My boyfriend and I were in town so we decided to check it out. We are greeted by being told they are short staffed which everywhere is so I expected it. We were seated right away. Ordered drinks and they took about 35 minutes to come. Our waitress said the kitchen is backed up and also out of certain items. Well we both ordered hoping we'd get our food within an hour. Well 2 hours later she comes over to check on us and we say honestly we will take the bill for the drinks and leave. She goes oh no I think yours is almost done let me go check. She comes out with the entire wrong entrees for a table that was near us. We told her that isn't ours. She then offered us a free dessert. We then again just asked for the check because we were starving and at this point would've just got takeout somewhere or found something else. The waitress said she'll go check again and tells us 10 minutes. I ordered the filet mignon and it was def just a center cut sirloin, no way was it a fillet. I guess we should've just left when they mentioned short staff and kitchen backup but I didn't expect to wait 2 hours. We also wanted to go see a local band nearby and by the time we left that band was done playing. We thought we could drive down 16 and see moose around sunset but it was dark when we left. Came in at 7 left around 930p. read more

I went there with my family. It took two hours to get our food. My steak tips where horrible. My wife's prime rib was loaded with salt. My sons pasta was the smallest thing I ever saw. The only thing good about this place was the waitress she was very nice. read more

A great hidden gem in a small rural town in western Maine. This place is well known to the campers, hunters, and snowmobilers in the area. Their two fer Thursday's are legendary as you get two meals for the price if one including sirloin steak, prime rib or stuffed seafood. And the prime rib and steak are larger and more flavorful than fancier steakhouses I have been to. Tonight we got the french onion soup which is by far the best we have had. My wife got the sirloin steak tio special and I got chicken parmesan. Both were large portions and very good. A here is homemade and had the same quality as places I have been to in new york city or Boston. Overall this a great place to green a bite to eat or have a drink. read more

We have been going here for several years now and have always had great food. We live on the coast and eat seafood often, but for some reason we had their seafood specials one night. It rivals any reputable seafood restaurant on the coast. Then their is their exceptional prime rib. This is not a place to miss if you are in the area and want, good qualities of excellent food. We usually take half our meals home for another meal. read more

We had a horrible experience here. To make a long story short: We were not served until 1 1/2 hours after arriving. Denied milk because it was frozen. Other beverages that were ordered took 20 min to arrive. When we FINALLY got food (90 minutes later), it was so dried out that I mistaked it for beef jerky. We left with nothing but wasted time and empty bellies. Upon messaging the owner on Facebook, I was blocked. I will never return and would never recommend to anyone else. read more

Trail's End Steakhouse & Tavern - HORRIBLE. We had to wait and hour and a half to be served. We left with wasted time and empty bellies. Messaged the owner and got blocked. - American Near Me - Eustis, Maine

Came in for dinner with a large party (with reservations). Service was attentive and fast but not overbearing. Steaks and seafood were excellent and faster than expected. Would recommend strongly. read more

This was probably the worst dining experience I've had in a long, long time. We drove here from Rangeley for dinner. When we entered, the young lady said sit anywhere. After taking a seat, we waited 15 minutes for her to bring us a menu. Then another 20 minutes for her to return to take our order. We remarked about the slow service. She responded everyone else there had come in at the same time just ahead of us. And she was busy. We counted all who were there. Four other groups for a total of 18 people. Oh well... she took our orders, said she would bring bread and salads. After about 10 minutes the bread came, another 35 minutes the salads arrived. And finally, our steaks arrived. I had ordered mine medium well. If it's bright red when you cut into it, it's definitely not medium well. We contemplated sending it back to the kitchen but decided not to because who knows how long that would take. It was evident that she was the only one on the floor taking care of diners, answering the phone, tending the bar. The kitchen must only have had one person working it they could not handle the volume of business that night in more timely manner. Definitely not a place I'll return to. Maybe it was an off night, but I definitely wasn't impressed. read more

While vacationing in the area, we decided to give this place a try because of the positive review we found on yelp from 2010. There truly seems to be a scarcity of places to eat dinner in the Stratton/Eustis area. When we drove up to the restaurant, we could see the place was quite popular since the parking lot was packed and a steady stream of people were entering the building. When we walked inside we saw there was a line of people waiting to be seated, nothing unusual about that. However, after we reached the head of the line, it took at least 10 to 15 minutes for someone to even recognize our existence! Clearly there were no hostesses (a major oversight, in my opinion) and the waitresses were doing all the seating (which meant very little) since they were preoccupied with taking orders. When someone finally came up to us (a waitress who had passed us about 20 times prior to addressing us) she asked if we had a reservation. When we told her we did not (who knew this was the kind of place that needed reservations?) She said she had one table left for us to sit. Relieved, we followed her and sat down at our table. And then we waited...and waited...and then, for a change of pace, waited some more. It must have been 20 minutes before someone came to take our drink order, but it felt like an eternity. We watched longingly as every table in our vicinity was waited on, sometimes repeatedly, while we sat invisible in the corner. When someone finally did ask us what we wanted to drink, we pleaded for some sort of menu to look at. Evidently, said menu did not exist. Because this was our first time here, we were pretty wide eyed and took time to look at the inside and outside of the building pretty thoroughly. That, coupled with our ample wait time, meant we would have surely noticed anything posted about a limited menu, or what the few available selections were. Some signage, at the beginning of this experience, could have saved us all a lot of frustration. Apparently, there were three or four different choices for dinner which our waitress described at break-neck speed before she turned on her heal and went on to help the next table. I couldn't tell you what they were, because she rattled them off inhumanly quickly. It was clearly a hectic night for the waitstaff, but would it really have been so hard to make sure we understood our dining options? After all, there was hardly a vast selection. From the bits and pieces we DID pick up, none of the options sounded like things we'd be interested in. Before this, we'd been contemplating walking out and going somewhere else to eat. After the brief interaction with our waitress, we were no longer on the fence about it. We both walked out of the restaurant really upset and frustrated, not to mention hungry and thirsty. I have no doubt, based on the amount of people there, that they have delicious food. They are clearly popular with the local population. However, if our experience is any indication of how they treat people that aren't already regulars, I have little doubt that this will stay a tucked away place that few travelers will want to take the time to try. read more

We stumbled across this place and felt right at home with the staff and locals. There were a ton of snow mobiles there and all were quite welcoming. We watched the Patriots game and had some wings and homemade fries which were quite good. I felt like I was in a friends house as we were all watching the game together. I'm not sure there's much else around but no need, this place was great. read more

Very disappointed. We were one of 5 tables, the menu is pricey and lacks depth. The fish fry was small and the burger can only come with fries or onion rings (I asked for something else - willing to pay for it). By the way the fries were $2 extra. When we finished we realized that they had specials (I really didn't want a burger). It would have been nice if our waitress told us. The only redeeming quality was a Shipyard draft only ran me $4. If you want a beer head there to the bar, but for food I would stay away. read more

Went for dinner on a slow day, restaurant maybe 1/3 full. Service was slow, no one came to refill my water glass the entire dinner. Worst steak I ever had, chewy and full of gristle, and expensive. The highlight of the evening was the coconut shrimp app. Cooked to perfection. Hard to believe it came out of the same kitchen as everything else. read more

Good basic menu, very good steaks, burgers and specials all at a very reasonable price in a low key friendly setting. We have been here about five times and will continue to go back. We were there one night when all they had was a basic sandwich menu available and we said to our server that we were sad to miss out on the steaks but would stay and have a sandwich. She came back and said it was no problem and they would be happy to make us steaks. read more

This place was quite a find. Lots of locals -- everyone seemed to know everyone else, and the parking lot was jammed. This is a family run place, with the kind of simple cooking done well that is so hard to find. We were lucky enough to come on a Thursday -- the '2-fer' night, which included the prime rib. Everything was wonderful -- the rib roast sliced to order, the scallops done as I asked. And the desserts -- made by the grandfather, were just amazing. Good food, fair prices - especially for this area, friendly people. Recommended! read more

This place was awesome! We had reservations (which I recommend because it's so popular). The salad bar was clean and fresh, very tasty. My wife had the stuffed haddock, she said it was "yummy"! I had the prime rib. I love prime rib, and this was the best prime rib I've ever had! It was tender and cooked to order! Last and certainly not least, the service was outstanding! We were seated upon arrival (again, make reservations). Our server, Casey, was attentive and answered all our questions about wine and food. She was exceptional! We recommend Trails End Steakhouse & Tavern to anyone in the Eustis area! read more
