I sat at the bar - Marie recommended an Orono Maine pale ale with my blueberry pork butt pizza.

Also had a delicious spicy margarita - perfect for a warm day and with just the right amount of heat and Tajin on the rim. Thank you for a happy and delicious meal!! We'll be back

When you enter you see a beautiful room, filled with yellow tables and chairs, and huge windows to see the rest of the mountain. It's warm, inviting, and great for groups. We were all impressed by how stunning the place looked as we walked in. I came with a group of 6 people after a morning of skiing. We were cold, hungry, and ready to eat. Nest more than met our expectations. We had an assortment of cocktails, cocoas, chilis, and sandwiches. I personally loved the Cubano sandwich. It is huge! I recommend sharing with a friend. It's not like a typical Cubano, but it's a fun twist. The bread was a perfect texture and the dijon mustard added great flavor. I was impressed by how well plated the food was for being on a ski mountain. Cocktails were good, but pricey. Hot cocoas were cheaper and more delicious! Overall the food was awesome, great for sharing, and reasonably priced. I don't ski at Saddleback often, but when I come back I will make a point to stop for lunch again. High recommend!

You can't drive here. You can ski or snowmobile. You're greeted by a stark wooden building with a truly green roof off the trails. Once you walk inside, it's a totally different story. Some is the most gorgeous mountain views in the East, with Rangeley Lake in the background, Mount Washington to the West, Sugarloaf Mountain to the North, and an upscale, modern and welcoming place. The beer selection is ample although only cans - kind of hard to get kegs 2,000 feet up - and the menu is quite extensive - from ramen to a delightful recreation of a Cuban Sandwich - an enormous serving. Definitely a great place to eat while T Saddleback.

While visiting family in Maine, we decided to try Bear Belly's based on a recommendation from…read moreanother relative. There was plenty of parking, and the atmosphere was enjoyable--spacious, comfortable, and featuring an outdoor bar with live entertainment. Our waitress was attentive and provided excellent service throughout the meal. I ordered the burger with onion rings, while my wife had the pulled pork sandwich with fries and coleslaw. The burger was cooked perfectly, though the roll--similar to a ciabatta--was a bit too firm for a burger. The onion rings were fairly standard, likely the frozen battered kind. My wife enjoyed the flavor of her pulled pork sandwich but found the bun too soft. It almost seemed as though the rolls for our meals may have been switched. Her fries were unfortunately soggy, as if they had been sitting under a warmer. Overall, Bear Belly's offers a pleasant dining atmosphere and friendly service, though there's some room for improvement in the consistency of the food preparation.

Today, we hit the nail on the head. Just opened for the day we parked in front. Walked up the stairs and read the sandwich board with specials. Walked in to a cozy environment with wood accents, musical instruments on the wall, local artists work on the walls (also for sale), tiny flower vases on each table was very inviting. We chose to sit at the bar. Bartender was happy to see us and gave us specials information and told us to just holler when ready. Menu had a good variety of food I chose the chili and hubby their smash burger. Kitchen is located directly behind the bar. It is sparkling clean! The stainless steel was glowing it was so clean, I LOVE that having worked in F&B. While waiting bartender made small talk which we like, not overly sharing but enough to feel seen. Chili came with homemade cornbread that was toasted and out of this world DELICIOUS!! Chili was really good too. Not too spicy, thick with diced tomatoes, tinier peppers, and nice pieces of meat. Wowza was that good. Smash burger did not disappoint either, hubby said it's one of the best burgers he has had. They have a full display case with their homemade desserts so you can see before you buy. I was stuffed so did not take up on the offer. We did get a glance at the chef when we came in and asked the bartender to please give our compliments to the chef! Make sure to check for their hours, they open later than other places on Saturdays. They have a food truck outside, maybe they cater? Lots of outdoor seating for the nicer weather. If you are in the Western Mountains of Maine, don't drive by, stop and grab some amazing food!

We came for dinner right after hiking Mt. Washington and then again midday on the 4th of July for a quick drink before the parade. Then, we came back before the fireworks! Admittedly, most other options in town were closed for the holiday but nevertheless, this is a great spot to end up at. I'd say we had a pretty well rounded experience- we sat inside, on the patio, and then out on the lawn - each visit being wonderful overall. My husband tried several beers. I had a cocktail and a few glasses of wine. For dinner on our first visit, we ordered the Brussels sprouts, smash burger, and fried chicken sandwich. Everything seemed freshly made.
