    fries

    i experienced beautiful hand cut fries, attentive staff, this place has character. thank you!

    Fried chicken sandwich with bacon, cheese curd, lettuce, tomato and habanero bacon jam. Paired with onion rings

    As mentioned before, my favorite place for food and drinks. Service always great! Came to post another menu item (everything is phenomenal).

    Overhaul - chicken tenders and 2 sides

    After reading reviews on Yelp, we chose Firehouse Grille, as we were in an area where we don't normally eat. it was on the later side for dinner, and when we drove up it was a small building with few windows and some bikers outside. everyone was a little nervous and wondered if this was biker bar or restaurant, and my husband even said for me to go in and check it out to make sure it was OK for the kids. I told him nope, Yelpers never let us down, and I was sure it would be fine. This is literally the most hidden, local gem I have come across and so glad to have found it! First - service. Our waitress, Lex, was Probably the best server we have had in a long time. My husband told her we had not been here before and asked what was good on the menu. She took a couple of minutes to actually go through highlights of the menu with us and give us recommendations that did not disappoint. She was busy but super friendly and checked on us an appropriate amount. Cups were hardly emptied before she refilled. Someone else mentioned on here this place was like Cheers- neighborhood hangout. My 13 yr old, not having read these reviews made the comment that "everyone seems to know each other here". That is the vibe of this place - So if it is busy and you have to eat at their bar, embrace it, as you might meet some new friends! This is pub grub, not super fancy pub grub, but really good pub grub. I started out with an appetizer pretzels and cheese. 4 big, HOT pretzel sticks with a yummy cheese sauce were delicious. They are not stingy on the cup of sauce. Make sure you save remaining sauce for whatever else you have coming up next. The kids had chicken fingers while I had a Probie (Reuben) and my husband had the fish and chips, and starter of chili w/cornbread. Everything was delicious! Chicken fingers were big and all white meat. Tasted homemade with lots of crisp coating. My Reuben was not deli meat, but thick slices of homemade corned beef with house made pickled cabbage. Where a lot of Reubens are very salty, this one was not and the meat fell apart in your mouth. So good! The fish was crispy and fresh w/a very good tartar sauce. They have different fries with dry rubs can be tossed in. I had the salt and vinegar rub on my fries and they were very tasty. My husband had the firehouse fries which had a slight kick. My son had the German fries, which were slices of baked potato drenched in butter and garlic. A decadent choice! Fries seemed to be hand cut. The chili was also great but the cornbread... wow. Cake-like texture but crisp grilled on outside. I could've eaten a pan of that! Everything was very reasonably priced with all of our meals in the $10-$14 range. To me, most things tasted homemade and not frozen from Sysco. While we are not in Auburn often, our whole family thought this would be worth taking a drive up for dinner again!

    I am becoming a great fan of sneak attacks from unassuming humble pubs. Tonight we invited some friends to join us at Firehouse Grille in Auburn Maine. We were told about it from friends who lived nearby. When we arrived the place was humming. As we walked through the door, I felt like my entry should have been accompanied by the theme song to the classic tv show "Cheers". The pub was quaint, with lots of happy folks and seemed like a fun place regulars called home. I then noticed there were only two servers for the whole place.....on a Friday evening no less. However, they were amazing to watch because they were flying around like it was a cross fit challenge and making it look easy. We were greeted by Lex, who got our crew seated and served us. We started with pretzels and cheese sauce and a batch of NACHOS. The pretzels were soft and warm with a hint of cinnamon sugar and rounded out the Salty with some sweet. The cheese sauce was in a small bowl and it was used on everything until it was gone- because it was fricken cheese sauce!!! Our server Lex, was truly a cocktail genius, dialing up and nailing drink suggestions as if she grew up with us. Next came the NACHOS! Every colored corn tortilla chip I've ever seen, smothered with beef, cheese, veggies and more cheese. I decided on the fish and chips and a side of sweet potato waffle fries. The haddock was perfectly cooked. It was fresh and moist, not greasy. The house fries were great and before I even realized it, my sweet potatoes fries had been kidnapped by my wife (who was NOT sorry but did allow me a few). This meal was such a hearty helping it left me fully satisfied and unable to find any extra space for dessert. The rest of my crew and I without a doubt enjoyed everything and will be back. Thanks Firehouse and special shout out of respect and awe to our server Lex!! Go check it out, you may even hear theme music as you walk through the door!

    Hello Firehouse!! For one.. the music rocks.. stopped in for lunch and loved it! My wings.. awesome.. the burgers.. humongoloso.. I am a fan and will return.. Service was great too!

    Reuben

    Yelped this place while driving up to northern Maine and chose it cause it was highly ranked... WELL DESERVED, and priced well. The Reuben is fantastic here. Highly recommended

    A special. Always homemade specials and soups

    I've posted before but today is a Mai Tai with fruits in season in other states. As I've said, best drinks around! Food even better

    Cardiac Burger
    Courtney T.

    Now that the weather is breaking and Spring is in the air....it's time for this foodie to begin exploring what this great state of Maine has to offer... So first on my "Spring Fling" list was the quaint chill spot called Firehouse Grille. I'll just cut right to the chase....my experience was mind blowing! Every item I had was made to perfection from my signature Jolly Rancher cocktail (my personal favorite with burgers) to the tastebud delightful Cardiac Burger....I cant say enough about this burger (and burgers are one of my favorite things) it was absolutely made to perfection with bacon, cheddar cheese, jalapeños, onion rings, killer barbecue sauce and all the regular fixings. (Your gonna drool when you see the pics!! My side items were tasty and dessert was exceptional. The staff was completely attentive and helpful with suggestions to their menu. It was a great overall experience and warrants multiple visits! Whenever you are in the LA (Lewiston/Auburn) area be sure to make this a stop on your list and share your experience with me, I would love to hear your thoughts! Until the next review "Happy Eating" !

That being said, the male staff members are unbelievably sexist every time I go. I've gotten hit on by the bartender who proceeded to get my order wrong and tell the random man standing next to me that "chicks can be so god damn annoying" when I asked him to grab the drink I ordered from the fridge behind him. The bouncer told me a couple of days ago when i was at the front of the line that "with that kind of behavior you'll never find a husband."

Also note, Thursday nights blues jam is kinda the best thing you'll ever do in Lewiston on a Thursday night. Thursday! 7/1/11: Grayer days Lewiston, grayer days. Old railroad tracks, working class roots, this old bar, an improv blues night and the audience, plentiful. Scrunchies still adorning the copper highlighted ponytails of overly tanned women in their thirties. Everyone slightly off and no one fashionable except the musicians, clearly high timing in a small town, fedoras just so. Cartoon lobsters with shades on, off brand track pants and the requisite new England lack of eye contact. How long have you been sitting on that barstool, sir - how many years? 7/8/11 This ain't new York city, or LA, no. Mr bluesman you are correct, here in this dark, seedy, working class dive where all that matters is your improvised words, notes, sonic bliss... Sold for free to the tired citizens of a worn out, angelic town, built on industry, dripping with soul. Reverberate off the walls, this old bar, the cathedral across the street. Reverberate the two odd centuries of strife, of worn hands, of working the mills. Lewiston has the blues.

I love a place that will allow you to order all flats, I will happily pay extra for all flats. I won't even entertain eating the upper part of the wing, too many things happening up there. I always order my wings as chicken, flavored sawdust. I've had salmonella more than once from chicken wings, but I love them too much to stop eating them. These were cooked perfectly! The burger on special was a two patty smash burger with grilled pineapple pickle onions, and a sweet Thai chili aïoli. I added fresh jalapeño and got the aïoli on the side because I wanted to see what it was like. I was really happy. I got it on the side because there was flavorless. It was basically mayonnaise that they mixed sweet Thai sauce with and called aïoli. Also, if it's a sauce that I don't know, I don't trust it, I don't want it on anything before I try it. I think that should be like rule of thumb. But the burger was awesome, I got it with dirty sweet potato fries. Which means I put some Cajun seasoning on it so it had that sweet, salty, spicy element that I love so much. They also have this delicious French pear martini on the specials menu. It was fantastic, it was fresh, bright, not overbearing. I hope that stays on the menu for a minute because it was LOVELY. And I took home a cute little dessert sampler that probably could've done without all the whipped cream over the little dessert squares, but my boys loved them!! Great place for lunch, really cool location, relaxed feel, don't forget to check out the little waterfall!!

It took about ten minutes to receive two beers and an appetizer, and there were no plates or silverware until we asked. The bartender never checked in or followed up, even when another guest nearby gave up after being ignored. The food was poor (overcooked), but the lack of basic hospitality made the entire experience feel uninviting. The food typically is average. Bartender spends her time on other employees who are eating. There have been multiple similar experiences with this bartender. The simplest way to ruin a bar is when this happens...patterns of slow service, poor communication, or unprofessional behavior that keep repeating. Same staff, languishing customer volume.
