Cheesesteak
Kendra W.

Local spot in Topsham always a decent size crowd. They have a menu that covers a variety - pizza, appetizers, pasta, steaks, fried seafood. They post daily/ weekly specials on their Facebook page which are seasonal as well. Yummy drink menu, lots of beers on tap.

Blackened Haddock w/FFs

We have been here a few times now and we have always been very happy with our meal. The food is very tasty and amazing. The atmosphere is laid back, but can also be a romantic place to go. The service has always been great! They offer high tops, booths, tables or bar seating. They have a specials board upon walking in, so check that out. Their menu isn't huge, but definitely a good variety so everyone can find something to eat. One photo I forgot to take, was their Irish Nachos, made with potato skins and we had it with pulled pork - now that was sooo good! Definitely an item to try out if you're thinking of an appetizer. Now with that being said, my husband didn't care for the pork being on the sweet side, where I did like it sweet, so good to know for those that like sweet or not sweet. We were going to order their onion rings, as we tried them before and they're homemade, not frozen, but we wanted to try something different. They have a full bar with a TV and an accessible handicap ramp, located on the front of the building. We have tried the prime rib and 104 Main Burger before and both were awesome. Also, I don't like brussel sprouts and the waitress said, "Trust me, the chef knows how to make anyone love brussel sprouts, because he knows how to cook them." Even she wasn't a brussel sprout fan - and yes, she was correct. They were amazing. If you're ever in Topsham, looking for a place to eat, stop in and give them a try!

Grilled haddock burger and fries.

My mom, sister and I had lunch here. We started with bacon mussels, which were very flavorful and had nice crusty bread for soaking up the broth. Chew carefully, however. They were a little gritty and you could easily break a tooth. A few of them weren't open (do not eat those!), so they brought us out a few more. I enjoyed the hummus plate. The haddock burger, fries, and hamburger were delicious. We shared the creme brûlée - ‍. Overall a lovely experience - worth a trip to Topsham.

Quick service for our party of nine. We ordered several burgers, pizzas, fried pickles. All were expertly prepared, tasty. They have the Downeast peach mango cider and a MTA lager. Fun evening made special by attentive waitstaff.

Burger
Dan A.

Wear a sweater when you come here so you don't get as cold as the food. The family and I decided to try a new burger place- although only two of us had burgers. Two others had hot dogs and one had grilled cheese sandwich. The burgers were tasty, yet inconsistently cooked throughout the patties- I had medium rare and there were parts that were very rare. The fries all around were seasoned nicely, but could have used an extra 15 seconds in the fryer. Onion rings were good, but maybe seasoned a bit too much- they also went cold quickly. Kids disliked the hot dogs because the bread served with them was large in size, and one said the hot dog was cold.

The thickest delicious burger w/ bacon jam!
Lisa M.

Way better than your average bar food, & the service is phenomenal. Everyone is so nice that you want to make it your local spot. * Burger: super thick & is a flavor bomb (it has bacon jam!) * Onion rings: super light batter, the right amount of onion, not greasy * Salads: house made dressings make all the difference...the white balsamic vinaigrette! * Fried chicken banh mi sandwich: so delicious * Wings: simply fried w/ no batter, perfect amount of sauce & not goopy (the ranch even has fresh herbs!) * Ahi tuna sashimi appetizer: delicious sauce & very fresh This is our go-to, especially because it's the rare place open on Mondays. Their specials means you'll always have something to try.

Blueberry chipotle wings
Debbie H.

My second review of this place, a couple years apart. Still 5 stars. The wings were okay - we had a blueberry chipotle but the nachos are to die for. Love that the game is always on and they serve my favorite beer (Thirsty Botanist). Waitress was nicer. Food was served quickly.

Steak and beer cheese with potato salad
Sarah E.

Stopped here on a whim for lunch on a Tueaday when driving down I95 cause we were tired of Panera Bread. Atmosphere: What's up with all the family photos? I felt like I was eating in someone's house, so weird. The window seating was cool but they definitely need a good washing. The hightop seats are COMFY AS HELL. One of the most comfortable bar seats my butt has had the pleasure of sitting in. Food: Haddock chowder was one of the best I have ever tasted. Steak and cheese came out piping hot with SO. MUCH. MEAT. Like seriously, how do you make money off this? It was jam packed with meat, onions, mushrooms, and peppers. The beer cheese was ok, I wish I had gotten it with American cheese instead or maybe just got more beer cheese. Regardless, it was not enough cheese to meat/bread and when I think of a steak and cheese I want melty cheese not a steak sandwich with some cheese. This was the reason for not being 5 stars. My sandwich came with potato salad which was ok, nothing too exciting. My BF got a side salad with ranch with his steak and cheese and holy heck that was the best ranch dressing I've ever tasted. I put some on my sandwich and it was AMAZING. The dill in the dressing was the star of the show. I assume it was homemade because I've never had ranch that good before. Owners, if you're reading this...Hear me out.... what if you guys made a Ranch Potato Salad and used the ranch in your potato salad? I bet that would be a game changer. Cost: Not bad for what we got. I spent a little over $50 including tip for a soup, two steak and cheeses, and one salad upgrade. Pro: Great food Good value Comfortable seats Drown everything in ranch Con: Atmosphere... it's disjointed. I get it must be a family place but it's like 4 distinct areas in there and they don't flow well together (Windows, bar, intimate seating next to host stand, and weird family photo section)

We ate here today for the first time! It was excellent! Great atmosphere and wonderful service and the food was fantastic. Definitely recommend you should come check these folks out. Also, my wife is GF and they have a great menu to meet those needs. We will be back for sure!

Strawberry Vodka Lemonade
Wanda H.

I'm thinkin' the Strawberry Vodka Lemonade cocktails were the best part of the meal, but that may be cuz I had TWO. NOM! My Blackened Salmon Tacos were delish, but the coleslaw was not outstanding. It WAS vinegar based, which I appreciate, but just NOT a lot of flavor. The leftovers are STILL in my fridge. Hubby had the Buffalo Chicken Pizza which parts of may, or may not have, made it into my mouth. Very good. Leftovers of that, all GONE. So, there you have it folks. Our waitress was excellent. Prices were high, but ain't that everywhere? My arm could be twisted to come back here, if I were in the area...

The issues were glaring though. We arrived early for a group reservation of 10 and started at the bar. The service was very slow and we got the sense that the bartender was frustrated that we showed up early with the idea to have a cocktail before our reservation. Bar service continued to be painstakingly slow throughout the night. The restaurant was somehow out of several of their menu options (despite the restaurant not being busy on a weekend day). Not the end of the world, but it left us asking some questions. The major issues really arose when our entree courses were served. They had somehow ran out of french fries, and you could see that in the portion size of the frites in our steak frites (the picture included in our review was our plate -- we had BY FAR the most fries out of those at the table who ordered steak frites). And they ran out of steak - one of the people at our party who ordered steak frites was served a hamburger (which isn't even on the menu). Overall, I thought that we overpaid for the food and if it wasn't for the good company at our dinner - I would have been very frustrated.

Hurrah, delicious German food in the area! We were so excited when a friend recommended this spot…read moreto us for Schnitzel, spatzle, and everything in between. We made the reservation (highly recommended!) and took the 35 minute drive all the way to Brunswick to give them a try. SO SO happy we did! The space is cozy and lodge-like with German steins, maps, and decorations lining the walls. The staff is friendly and treats you like family right from the get-go. Our server was so wonderful and happy to answer any questions or make suggestions as needed, which included offering to bring a bottle of the Pinot Noir Rose instead of just 2 glasses. Oh, twist my arm! The bottle was a steal at $32 and the rose was light and fruity and delicious. We started our meal off with the snails over puff pastry. Let me just say... these were the most tender, plump snails I think I've ever had! The sauce was pure garlic butter, which was soooo good when soaked up by that perfectly crisp puff pastry. Flavor bomb! A bread basket was also brought out with pretzels (which my daughter said were exceptional) and fluffy little biscuits. Then the entrees - special of the day, Chicken Berliner Art, was a delight with the mushroom tarragon sauce and green onions. Lots of flavor just in the sauce! Hot potato salad was tasty and tangy, and the sauerkraut was SO GOOD - incredibly tender and loaded with flavor. There was not a cabbage morsel left by the end! The breading on my partner's Jagershnitzel was so light, so crispy, so perfect, as was the pork itself. Jager sauce had more of a lemon kick than I'm used to, but that was nice and added a good brightness to the dish. Spatzle was perfectly cooked but needed a hit of flavor, maybe a toss in some butter in herbs. Garlic mashed potatoes were creamy and garlic-y and to die for! My daughter tried the bread dumpling which was fun to eat - it reminded me of the ones my mom would make for chicken and dumplings, dense and spongy and yummy when dipped in some kind of sauce. We clearly had no room for dessert, but the brandy-filled chocolates that were brought with the check were a very nice touch and satisfied my sweet tooth. This is without a doubt the best German food in the area, authentic and comforting and so very tasty. We can't wait to come back!

We stumbled upon this spot doing errands in Brunswick. Authentic beer list (although confusing…read morewith what they have/what they dont) but the beers were excellent. Pretzels and mustard in the bread basket which was delightful! I got the cucumber salad which was a bit tooooo drippy and could have used more something? The portions are super generous and come with sides that were all tasty. I grew up eating a lot of this so was honestly a good find for that first almost chilly day of the year! Our server was kind and attentive and very knowledgeable. Overall would come back.

Wow, we just got back from dinner here on a Friday night, late August, and we are just so thrilled…read more My wife, 7 year old daughter and I are on vacation from NJ. We came to this area for the first time and found this restaurant, got a reservation a couple of hours in advance. It's on a golf course, with lots of outdoor seating overlooking the greens and a sunset. Very nice. The staff and our waitress was super friendly and nice. Can't ask for better, really. She was wonderful. I asked for a Maine Lemonade drink that I've fallen in love with since trying. They didn't have it on the drink menu, but made me something similar and it was delicious!! I had two of them. And the food was fantastic. My daughter had chicken fingers and fries (which she gave a hearty thumbs up to). My wife and I started out with a cup of the Haddock Chowder each and the sun-dried tomato focaccia bread. Both were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend, especially the bread. I had the braised beef rib which was fantastic, the sauce was so good, the brussel sprouts were so good, it was all great. My wife had the award-winning lobster roll. For some reason they don't offer it hot, but my wife likes the cold version also and she said it was fantastic, she had to bring half of it home. No room for dessert. So to sum it up: great ambiance, great service, great drinks, great food. Oh, and the prices seem very reasonable to me (especially being from NJ). So, basically a perfect dining experience! I cannot recommend it more!

Great views. Tables indoors or outdoors (season appropriate). Food was so good! We loved everything, zero complaints about the food. Just know that if you're inside on a nice night the majority of the attention is focused on outdoor tables (there were way more outside than in). Poor gal could have used some help, she was stretched thin but made the best of it. Will definitely return again!
