    a muffin sandwich on aluminum foil
    Shanan G.

    I've stopped by BIGS over the years and grabbed things like drinks or snacks but never ordered anything off the menu. The other weekend I was staying at a motel within walking distance and we decided to go grab a breakfast sandwich. The owner is always so friendly and chatty when you go in, you instantly feel welcomed. We got a fantastic sausage egg and cheese on an English muffin to split and my fiancé had a coffee which he said was good. In the past I have tried a couple of their baked goods, they make a great chocolate chip cookie and once I was lucky enough to get a blueberry scone (I've stopped numerous times just to see if they have any, and I haven't had any luck since!) It's a great little place to stop if you're driving by or if you have the pleasure of staying on Bailey Island. They have a great variety of snacks, drinks, beer, wine and a good looking menu of basics like pizza and such. This will always be a place we stop when we're on the islands!

    Really good food. Our first takeout, after quarantining as the town requested. At 5:15, only 3 of 12 entering were wearing masks, including a family wit kids. Those preparing food were unmasked. Sadly, won't be back til it feels safer. Returned weeks later to check things out. One of two employees masked; she was preparing the food. Most cars had out of state plates, but all customers were masked. This has long been a favorite place of ours...sure wish we could count on employees to mask for us, as we do for them.

    Lobster rolls were the best I have ever had. All lobster meat that was fresh from the lobster. Delicious. Highly recommend.

    Did I just find my new favorite wine shop in Maine? Possibly... Located in the middle of nowhere…read more(at least for those that aren't from here), Black Sheep Wine Shop was such a wholesome find during our drive to Bailey's Island. Black Sheep felt like a little store out of a movie -- small, welcoming, cozy, and with lots and lots of wines (as well as ciders!). We walked in and the owner quickly made us feel welcomed. He gave us wine recommendations based on our taste profile, and I can now report back and say that we ended up liking all the wines he suggested. I also loved the presentation of the wines. Each wine had a little label, handwritten with notes -- the flavors, what it paired well with, where it came from, etc. Oh -- and they had a special section for local bottles. They also divided the wines by price, and that was helpful, too! Price transparency when it comes to alcohol is huge for me. All of these little touches made it beyond easy (and enjoyable) to choose a bottle (or 5).

    Cute little wine shop with a great selection of domestic and international wines and beer. Also…read moresome delicious locally made chocolate treats and other gift items. The owner was very sweet. Definitely worth a visit if you love wine!

And though we've enjoyed many of their outstanding meat cuts, a variety of local items they carry and their full liquor selections, I've come to Yelp today to sing the praises of their store made smoked salmon salad with salmon supplied from Maine's Duck Trap fisheries. This salad is first of all salmony, appropriately salty, chunky, and filled with tiny bits of red onion and celery and just enough mayo to hold it together. What a great find at this fun to shop at market. I eat it on Triscuits, corn chips, baby carrots, or to be embarrassingly honest...from my finger. I love it when I discover something previously unknown to me. And though I have been eating smoked salmon, lox/Nova since early childhood, I am so happy to have recently found this. Great job Bow Street Market! It's sold in various sized small tubs at $10.99/lb. and well worth this price.

We needed to get something fresh for dinner at the airport and I saw this while searching the area. We were helped by friendly staff at the deli counter who made us a hummus wrap and turkey sandwich to go and I got a pasta salad from their fresh deli salads. I love local markets like this with fresh items and a deli when I travel and I'm so glad we found this. They had my baby's favorite snacks in the toddler section and some delicious grab and go drinks in the cooler as well. They won't have all the things since it's a smaller, boutique market, but quality is here.

Entrance is on Forest and is clearly marked. You walk in and there is sooo much to see! Cue the candy store memories as a child. I quickly lifted my jaw and stepped to the side and started taking pictures. This store is nicely set up with wood, glass, and some brass accents for a nice look. They truly have a VAST selection of all spirits offered. Some items, that are rare, or higher priced are locked in glass cases. All the information you need is right there in the open. There were two clerks working the front. When no one was waiting to check out, they walked the floor looking in on all to see if we had any questions. Saw one man go to counter and ask questions, the clerk was friendly and knowledgeable about the offerings he was looking for. I found my Jameson with a few variations to choose from. Cask-mates stout is a favorite but not always available. Black label was on the shelf with two sizes to choose from. Now for a beverage for a holiday gathering. Looking for something on the berry side but not loaded with sugar. They had a huge of beers, seltzers, ales, and ciders to choose from. Wasn't feeling the seltzers which I do enjoy, today I was feeling a cider. I chose the BRLO Berlin Cider "Dark and Wild" mixed berries. Then an Ale caught my eye in a tall off white bottle with a swivel cork top. Delirium Red; Belgian ale with cherry and elderberry!! Yes please! They have other flavors too. Checking out was easy. A few registers with last minute adds for review. Best one; they had an Advent calendar of Beers and Ales genius! If you are looking for a special gift, a tried and true, or up for an adventure; head to Bow Street beverage on Forest Ave. in Portland, minutes from 295 too!
