    Cute space , friendly staff. Food was excellent!! We tried the fish chowder outstanding flavors, cold lobster rolll with herbs and chives was lovely. I always like a hot roll but this surprised me greatly and perfect for a warm day! Even the hotdog tasted good

    Our order: local cider, house-made sangria, water street lobster roll, Portuguese chicken (half), seafood chowder The Portuguese chicken was a dream - juicy, moist, well seasoned and smoked to perfection. Loved the tang that came from what seemed like lime juice in the marinade. Finger lickin licious and goes well with the side of house salad too. I love the minimalistic way that NB prepares their lobster rolls. Honestly, I never understood the hype until I had a true NB/Maine lobster... and Char and Chowder served me my first. Wow, I finally experienced the ocean sweetness and umami that everyone else talked about. The seafood chowder was on the thin side (and I'm thick chowder kind of gal) but all the flavors were there and my picky eater parents approved. This spot was recommended by the owner at Niger Reef Tea House, another locally rated 5 star establishment. Live music, outdoor seating in a barn/wood shack/warehouse setting, order and pay at counter. Parking is a pain in the area.

    Brand new. Great open concept, very cool. Servers were still training and very nice. Very limited menu but I think it's because they are new. Lobster roll and seafood chowder were both DELICIOUS!!!!! I recommend this place, it's going to be very successful.

    Yummy lobster roll with not too much sauce. Also tried their Charlie Burger and kids had hot dogs. Their sangria is nice too. There was an order mixup so one of us got order later. Otherwise cute outdoor sitting under a wooden barn.

    Nice ambiance, good food, reasonably priced, limited but well executed menu. It was one of the few places open on Monday night.

    I will start this review off by saying that I am only placing this review for the breakfast on a…read moreSaturday morning in Machias Maine. I will tell you this if you order something off the menu for breakfast your portions are so big that it may take two or three people to eat one serving so be prepared to take some home with you as my portion of pancakes and omelette would serve an army . I was talking to one of the locals, and they stated that the owner of this restaurant served large portions because he felt it was his way of giving back to the community and not always worried about budgets and money. The only drawback about eating breakfast here is you can still smell some of the odors from the partying the night before as it had a dance club/nightclub atmosphere on a Friday night. So, if you are looking for a breakfast and you wanna go somewhere different than Helen's across the street, check this place out you won't be disappointed by the variety of their menu for breakfast and the quality of the food that comes out.

    Amazing little place, on Main Street but still easy to miss unless you are looking right at it. A…read morefavorite with the locals, and just one meal there will make that obvious. Others have talked about the size of the portions, but even more importantly is the quality of the food. We had the Haddock Burger with Fries, and the Haddock Platter, also with Fries and Slaw. If eating in your car is your thing, take the time to drive across the street into the parking lots behind and across from the Machias River General Store. There you can watch the goings on at the Bad Little Falls Park - depending upon the time of year and season, folks will be casting their nets across the Falls. That spectacle, combined with the terrific food served to you by the skilled staff, will be well worth your visit. Recommended!
