Ate lunch here today with the wife, grand kids, and weird brother-in-law Steven; or as I like to call him "Uncle Sling Blade". I don't want to be too harsh. We're talking about Northern Maine, and if you're coming up here expecting something chef Ramsey is going to be proud of, well, you're a pretentious douche. So all of that aside, here's the rub. The service was adequate. Wait staff was friendly and did their part to try and take care of us. They checked on us regularly, refilled the coffee, and if we asked for something they brought it. No complaints there.
The food on the other hand was OK at best, and pretty disappointing at worst. My hamburger was made with about the lowest grade beef i think you can find. Other than that, it WAS to order when it comes to what I wanted on it.
Cheese curd appetizer wasn't bad, but if you plan on sharing with anyone at your table you better pony up the dough for several orders. My wife got the Buffalo chicken strips, which are basically breaded chicken strips pulled from a box, heated in an oven, with done Buffalo sauce dumped on them. Mediocre!
My grandson got the kids macaroni and cheese. They took a $.50 box of Kraft style mac and cheese and threw it in a plate with some fries. Literally. Didn't even try to church it up with a little real cheese thrown in. $1 worth of food for around $9. Because kids aren't worth the effort I guess. FAIL!
This brings me to the last thing I want to say. French Fries. This goes out to everyone serving Fries up here in potato country, not just this place: TRY HARDER!!!! This place produces as many, if not more (haven't looked it up yet) potatoes than Idaho; who's license plate very dumbly and simply states "famous potatoes". This is the ONE THING nobody up here should be f&@$ing up! Yet every place I've been, the BEST I can say is MEDIOCRE! This place? FAIL! Served just shy of Luke warm, limp, soggy, bland, flavorless. Probably won't be back. For my money, the Chinese restaurant two doors down is FAR superior! read more
