Craft beer enthusiasts, beware! Cushnog boasts a good selection of quality brews, but service is virtually non-existent. We waited 10 minutes for the bartender's (and apparently owner?) attention, only to be met with ambivalence when inquiring about each beer. Our empty glasses sat for another 15 minutes after finishing our beers, completely ignored. Maybe the food is good? Otherwise, skip the frustration. read more

seriously the best pizza in maine (in my opinion). i've been so many times and never had a pie i haven't enjoyed. i love the funky options (crab rangoon, fiddle head, etc). the bond street is my favorite. always great service and a cool atmosphere. read more

You will love this place. It's bench seating which worked out great for our large party. The staff were great and friendly. The pizza was by far the best I've tasted in Maine. It's loud and noisy but in a good way. I highly recommend this place. read more

Called to learn more about private events and was told I absolutely cannot talk to anyone over the phone to learn more and must send an email. Not impressed. This place must not be hurting for private events. read more

Cushnoc serves up a decent pizza. They have a variety of specials or you can opt to build your own. I decided to build my own with red sauce, mozzarella cheese, and the IPA caramelized onions. I have to say, these carmelized onions are perfectly sweet and delicious. They make a top-notch topping. The pizza itself features a soft, thin, light, airy base and a chewy, charred, also airy crust. The red sauce is flavorful and really elevates the pizza. I also really appreciate that they offer vegan cheese as an option. My wife ordered a pie with vegan cheese and red onions and the cheese wasn't overly gooey (a common weakness for vegan cheeses). It was a good pie and it reheated well the next day too! You should know that the building tends to run a bit cold and sometimes, depending on where you sit, you'll get an air current. I also wish they served flights, but they do at least offer small samples you can try before ordering. Overall, I've had nothing but good experiences at Chushnoc and can definitely recommend it to anyone looking for pizza and beer in the Augusta area. read more

If you're craving pizza and beer - then this is your stop in this sleepy little town of Augusta, Maine. The dining room is a large open concept with large tables in the middle and some more individual tables scattered throughout. It has a very casual yet modern feel to it which adds some flare to this renewing riverfront area. I've been a couple times now during vacations here and each time it's been good. Each time we've had the popcorn to start off with - truffle being my favorite. They have some great staples like the Mill Park, Sand Hill, and Fort Western. But if you're not up for those mixes - build your own wood fired pie. The brews were really good too! Love the white they had one year (Betty White I believe), but next time I was in it was gone. But it's cool they rotate so you can try different things. Overall a good place and it will be on our list each year when we come to town. read more

My friend and I were craving pizza and didn't want to go to a traditional pub. We found Cushnoc Brewing Co, which definitely has beer (I have to try another time) but more of a casual, modern restaurant vibe. We were seated right away during lunchtime on a Friday and ordered the Vanilla Plum and Blueberry Lemonade Vodka cocktails. I was pretty satisfied with my choice, it had just enough sweetness! We shared a Bond Street Pizza, which claims to have spicy chorizo and spicy honey drizzle but I wouldn't say that the pizza is spicy. The flavor combos were delectable nonetheless! And the crust was carefully crafted with a perfect ratio of crispiness and pillowy dough. read more

The pizza here is absolutely amazing. Highly recommend the Cony High Pie as the IPA carmelized are sooo good. All of their pizzas are amazing and it is really fun to try their special pizzas that aren't always on the menu. They made a fiddlhead pizza which was one of my favorites. The popcorn appetizer is amazing and wicked cheap too. Their beers are also delicious. The ambiance is really relaxed and fun to watch the pizzas being made in the wood fired oven. When eating in you will definitely be ordering extra pizza's to go! Staff is also very friendly! read more

Stopped in while I was in town for work. Started of the with the fire roasted nuts and washed it down with a Water St. Brew. Great recommendation from the bar tender. Wanted three different pizzas so again asked the bartender for her recommendation, and she was spot on again. The Bond Street it was plus I added the hot peppers to kick it up one more notch. Perfect! Great flavor and great tasting pie. Great spot to eat if you are in town! read more

My husband, friend and I stopped for dinner during Ironman 70.3 Maine weekend. It was crowded but only a 30 minute wait. We ordered a couple beers and a glass of wine while we waited for our pizzas. Because we were hungry and couldn't my make up our mind from the wonderful selections, we ordered 2 pizzas, the Fort Western (sautéed mushrooms, crispy pancetta, fresh arugula, herbed white sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese) and the Sand Hill Classic (Genoa salami, pepperoncini, fresh basil, red sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese). Everything was delicious. There were a number of beer choices. Too bad they don't offer flights for tasting. Would have loved to try several. read more

The pizza was over the top delicious The atmosphere is amazing too We love the crab Rangoon style pizza read more

very nice atmosphere and especially nice servers and workers, definitely family freindly. Also the food is very good i recommend getting the Cesar Salad and A build your own pizza. read more

This place ROCKS. Food is great. Beer is great. We also did an event in their space downstairs--very cool!

I'd imagine, for a local in Augusta this is five stars, hands down, as it is probably one of the only things happening in this sleepy city. And I'll give it to them. Although I've had better beer and pizza, this was a welcome break on a rainy afternoon. And the spot is pretty happening, with solid beers and good pizza. It's not cheap. If you're expecting cheap Maine prices, it is not that for either the pizza or beer, but it's good and a hip well designed location and quality eats and drinks. I love that they have a little "beer pub" below. We ordered our pizza upstairs to go, and walked around the corner to the beer cavern below where regulars were playing cards and drinking beers. We enjoyed a flight on the picnic bench outside looking at the flowing river on a rainy day and ya really couldn't get much better than that. Some of the beers were pretty solid, some weren't my favorite. It seems they have a few staples, but they are constantly changing it up. They seem to have 8 or 9 different varieties at once. The pizza was really good. We went with a bunch of different ones and they were really tasty, with the favorites being the meaty ones. My brother just moved to these parts, so I'm sure this will be a yearly visit! read more

Crab Rangoon pizza sounds off, but is quite the opposite. Beer selection is their own. Lawyer Up is a great porter. Gigantic Dad Pants is an easy drinking IPA read more

Very good pizza and the service was great in the restaurant. The beer is fair but if your pizza's good, I'll give a pass to that! I'd recommend if you're in the area. read more

The location is cool (big place on the main stretch of good restaurants in Augusta). The space is casual but fun and up to date. Service was super friendly. Beer was absolutely delicious. And the food was really solid. I had the white bean dip and a salad. I'll definitely be back to try the pizza when I'm next in town! read more

Caesar Salad was fantastic, as was Blat Salad. Besides that wife had a Lawyer Up (coffee stout) which was yummy and I had Jankyass Amp (red ale) which was excellent. The tables were well spaced. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about their menu and food. Was told nachos are better than mexican places...when it came I told the wife it looks like Ortega...then I tasted and it was really good! Besides the cheese and chips, it had scallion, black bean and the kicker...black olives... We had the bond street pizza and while it wasn't my favorite, my daughter, who we were really aiming to please at the time, loved it. read more

The pizza is great, as are the drinks and the service. My friend and I got a pizza with brussel sprouts, red onion, and mushroom and it was delicious. I can't wait to return. read more

Let me just start by saying I'm not normally much of a pizza guy at all. Typically, It's one of my least favorite foods, however that opinion has recently been challenged and changed by Cushnoc. It took me almost 40 years, but I finally found a pizza that gets me every single thing I've eaten here is amazing. The Fort Western is my absolute favorite pizza ever. I had a Caesar salad my first time here that was absolutely incredible. I wish I had a picture! The beer is really great too! My BF is obsessed with their "Janky ass amp" but they're all really great honestly. We just moved here from southern New Hampshire in March, and *literally every single time* friends and family come to visit, we bring them to Cushnoc. By the way, the gluten free pizzas are incredible too, and unlike so many other places with gluten free options, the gf dough here is homemade. Not frozen. It's just as fresh and delicious as the standard pizza! Also, don't be alarmed by the dark pizza. We ordered it extra crispy on purpose, and it was delicious. read more

The pizza here is HEAVENLY!! The Diner closes at 2pm pizza is one of the best I've had. Potatoes, bacon, cheese sauce, maple syrup, and a couple eggs on top are the base ingredients and wow do they work well together!!! Also highly recommend the Cony High Pie, the mill park pie and the crab Rangoon pizza. All 10/10! Staff have always been really attentive and pleasant. Really great atmosphere here, very relaxed but fun. The prices are good for the quality and amount of food you get. I will always jump at the chance to come here. read more

We were in town for a basketball tourney and needed a quick bite to eat on a Saturday night. We found street parking no problem (in February) and there was no wait for a table of 3. The interior was spacious and had a nice long table down the center that would have been great to sit the team at (will keep that in mind for the future). The menu basically consisted of a few quick apps, salads and wood-fired pizza. I know QR code menus were popular during Covid but I wish restaurants would go back to offering hard copy menus. I'm a fan of fun pizza toppings so I ordered the Fort Western. My 6 year old is a pretty basic eater so he stuck with cheese. My 13 year old did a "build your own": bbq basic with chicken on top. Three separate pizza ended up being a lot because there was only one size, which was about 14 inches. I really didn't want to cave and not get what I wanted in order to buy one less pie so we end up with ample leftovers. If small and large were available that would be ideal, especially since no kid menu was an option. I know it's a brewery, but it's definitely a family friendly setting. Even if I went with other adults, I'd likely want different topping them then. Other then the suggestions of hard copy menus and different size pizzas, I have no big complaints. All 3 of us were happy with our choices and would return for more (: read more

No pictures, which is rare for me. The pizza here, was probably some of the best pizza I've ever had. We had the Bond Street pizza. The flavors of the sweet and heat, were amazing. Beer was excellent as well! read more

I always stop here when I'm in town visiting my son. The pizza is delicious! I think I've tried everyone at this point.

Food was great! and it was vary clean And the service was decent. Will definitely be back read more

Really nice place, and incredible thin crust pizza! I highly reccomend adding the shaved Brussel Sprouts. Their mushrooms are good on the pizza as well. We also tried the pickled veggies, and they were good. Service was incredible and people are really nice. We will be back next year! read more

Came here for dinner, though truth be told I was more intrigued by the brewery initially more than the food. I wanted to try the different beers they had as I tend to do that in general. Beers were amazing, but not gonna lie the pizzas were quite impressive. I wish they had a true vegetarian pie (so one star is taken off here), but the build-your-own pies were great. The crust was dope, cheese was plentiful, and the toppings were fresh. The place just seemed like a great vibe. I was in town for a wedding, so didn't have a chance to take a four pack back with me, but I certainly would have if I had time. This is a bright spot in downtown Augusta and I highly recommend. read more

Good food and good brews! Lots of variety. Today, their internet was down so we had to pay with cash but it's not a big deal. If you didn't have cash, there was an ATM across the street. I think it's a gem in this town! You must go. read more

Yummo....on the yummy meter I'd give it a 10/10 cool concoctions you think shouldn't go on pizza, but well it does!!! Very cute spot and they brew their own beer which was very good I had an old ale and a cran margarita. Definitely a gem in good ol' Augusta! read more
