    Turkey bomb. Homemade fries. So good.
    Julia B.

    For what this place is, and where it is, I am giving it a solid 5 stars. It is a true local hang, putting the home in home style. On our way from Portland to Montreal (two food meccas) we just wanted something simple and wholesome and delish and this hit all the right notes. I grew up in a more rural part of Maine in the 80's and didn't think places like this still existed. Turkey bomb was the bomb, as was the hot open face turkey plate. Home made fries and a ridiculously good coconut crème pie. No frills, all flavor. Even paper placemats with local advertisements and tall plastic red coke cups with ice water. This is the kind of place that if it popped up in Brooklyn with the intention of creating ironic nostalgia for a traditional, local establishment, it could never be as satisfying as the real deal of Wilderness in Colebrook. Hope we stop in again in the way home.

    Wilderness Special with fries
    Gabby A.

    It's okay. The food is alright but nothing special. It's kind of small and creepy upon first entering, but the staff is friendly and they have a lot of options. I would recommend not getting the fries, though, as they are quite limp and soggy. You get a lot of food with your meal, though, which is nice! All of us were so full we couldn't finish and that's kind of a nice feeling.

    Probably a 3 but I'll go 4 since they toasted the homemade hamburger bun and made the attempt to use real potatoes for French fries. The fries needed about 5 more minutes cooking time to have any crispness. They were limp and soft not crispy outside and soft inside like say 5guys. The burgers were big although the patties seemed a bit dry. Very casual nothing not remarkable restaurant.

    The coconut pie is superb

    No one has reviewed breakfast yet! Great breakfast place, very reasonable prices. The omelettes were huge, homemade bread for toast and real maple syrup! Great staff and comfortable atmosphere. Good family place. Will be back!!

    See all

    Selection specials are strange such as sloppy Joe's. Feels like a grade school menu. However, breakfast has been great!

    The loaded steak and cheese with sweet potato fries is a mighty sandwich indeed. More than I could handle. You should give it a try.

    Big Al's is a nice place. I like it. It's rather small but clean with a good atmosphere. Like a…read moreboutique restaurant without the guy in a tuxedo. No violins or mariachi band either. It's rustic and unique. Pleasant owners. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The main dining area has bench type seating. I'd prefer individual tables, but it's comfortable. There is comfortable table seating and seating at the bar in the bar area. They have a good selection of bottled beer. No draft beer. Bummer, eh! They really need to get draft beer. The menu has a small selection to choose from and it is a little expensive but the quality is really good and worth the price. Good burgers featuring, of course, the Errol Burger. Good stuff. They feature chicken, steak and sea food for dinner. Bring the family! Their specialty, at least from my perspective, is their pizza. Way good. I mean way, way good! You can build your own or choose one of their specialty pizzas. Oh yeah! I'd be remiss if I did not mention Big Al's wait staff. They are friendly, efficient and cute. Give your waitress a good tip! Big Al's is a good 4-star rating. The 5th star will come when they get draft beer.

    We stopped here for lunch while riding on the ATV trails. The restaurant was done in a typical "up…read morenorth" rustic style. Clean and bright. The bartender/waitress was very welcoming and took our drink order right away. She showed us the specials and recommended the fish fry. We ordered fish fries and they came out hot and looked amazing! The fish was in chunks and breaded but was really tasty. Served with coleslaw and fries. I got onion rings instead of fries. Crispy and hot. Delicious and very filling! We both had dessert- I had a chocolate sundae which was the perfect size. My husband had a wonderful caramel cheesecake. He said it was creamy and very good. The only down side was the cost of lunch. It was pricy! We literally spent as much on dinner the night before. All in all it was a nice lunch but was surprised by the cost.
