    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.

    It's been almost 10 years since I reviewed Big Top Deli and I thought I would refresh so that…read morereaders know I still enjoy this Deli. There's a reason we keep coming back - the food and service. The ambiance is ok. Basic tables and chairs and some "circus" type of decorations on the wall. They have a pretty consistent menu that really hasn't changed, at least not that I have noticed. They have "signature" sandwiches or you can build your own. They have hot and cold deli sandwiches available. They also have wedge fries that are oven baked. Family favorites; Sonny's Supreme and the classic italian. I also also love their breakfast sandwich options. They have a cooler of beverages. My favorite is Fresca. A soda I never have at home and I soda I always buy when I can at a deli. Pairs perfectly. Don't sleep on the sweets for sale by the register. The cookies and whoopie pies are usally tasty. The staff seems consistent - hardworking, customer service oriented and nice to interact with. They keep the simple dining area as clean as they are able - during the lunch hours during the week - this place is always packed!!! Wow...it's great to see and hope this means this buiness will stay around for years to come. Parking - many parking options within .5 mile from the location. We still visit here and we still recommend it to family and friends.

    I really wanted to like Big Top Deli. My coworkers hyped it up to me a number of times and finally…read moreI took the opportunity to join them on a lunch break and give it a try. They have a very large menu and after sifting through it a bit, I chose "The Big Top" which is a pastrami Reuben. I, personally love Reubens and was excited to try a variation that was the namesake. I was ultimately dissapointed that the sandwich wasn't served on Rye bread and was considerably smaller than the sandwiches my coworkers got. The sandwich itself was tasty but the juices from the sauce made the bread soggy by the time we made it back to the office (short drive). I'm not sure if I made a bad decision or if my review accurately reflects the quality - I won't be going back unless I'm sitting down to eat the sandwich right away and I won't be getting the "The Big Top" again.

We got the salmon eggs Benedict and the fruit pancakes, and without asking they split both on to two plates. The Benedict was on a particularly fresh English muffin and the pancake was full of fruit. It's a charming old-school type place with friendly staff and good vibes on a weekend morning. Many people arrived right at opening - a number of whom looked to be locals/regulars who sat at the bar - and it took some time to get our food as a result. This was understandable, just not necessarily a place to go if you're in a rush of any kind. Looking forward to returning and trying the blintzes next time I'm in Brunswick.

It's an extensive menu offering flavorful combinations that took effort, in addition to the greatest hits. Their daily specials are to die for. The service is a standout.

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.

    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).
