The Firehouse grill lives up to its reputation!!…read more The food was all in large portions and delicious. We started strong with mozzarella cheese sticks and the pretzel and cheese appetizer. Fresh and hot defined these apps perfectly! The sticks were warm and stringy, the pretzels were warm, soft, and salty. The cheese dip was actually delicious and tasted nothing like a can mix. For the main courses we had the home made mac and cheese that was topped with pulled pork which was sauced in Sweet Baby Rays and the Loaded Nachos topped with the Firehouse's award winning chili. The food all came out sized for a table of 8 with savory and sweet hints of deliciousness! The waitress was welcoming, outgoing, and offered sound advice on food choices. The cook staff was timely and efficient, and the bar tender was busy busy slinging cups full of the nectar of God (BEER!!)! The Firehouse House ambience lived up to the name with firefighter equipment, first responder memorabilia, and crafty decor. The only downside to this establishment is that is dark and throws a dive bar vibe. 9/10... we will be coming back here for sure (and ordering less food)!!

It would seem like a great place to watch a game, but we were on a schedule that day. We sat at the bar. Bartender was prompt, polite, and professional. Seating was comfortable.

We will likely go back, but will not likely order chicken fingers.

Gritty McDuff's in Auburn is an excellent choice for dinner and drinks!…read more I walked to Grittys from my hotel and sat inside the bar while they made our food to-go. The bar is spacious and on Thursday night they had someone playing life music. We ordered a pizza, burger, and pickle chips and all of the food was tasty. The service is also excellent! Only reason for 4 stars is I didn't care for their beers. I tried their blueberry ale and hazy IPA. I'm a bit of an IPA snob so don't let this ruin your opportunity to have an amazing experience. Grittys has an amazing outside dining area and a large menu! Check them out if you're in Auburn!

Having the option of sitting outside is fantastic! Loved that…read more Varied menu options - for beer, drinks, and food. Mac & Cheese with kielbasa was good. We were surprised to see a pile of jalapeños included - maybe it's on the menu and we missed it. Corn bread was moist. I opted for a build your own burger which was great. No bun, lettuce and tomato. The waitress told me to just tell her what I wanted on it and she'd get it for me. Cool. She didn't tell me I would be charged an extra $1 for a tiny bit of spinach, and 75 cents each for grilled onions and mushrooms. Not cool. I definitely would have just selected an "already made" option. I asked for sautéed mushrooms and onions so was a little surprised to get deep fried shrooms. There were good - I would probably order, and even be willing to pay extra, for them again. My issue was not being told. The seasoned fries were really good. The iced tea and Hazy IPA were (of course) good. Our waitress was a bit too attentive. It seemed almost like every time we took a bite, she was asking if everything was okay. Maybe just check in a couple times over the course of the meal? Please do remember that 3 is not bad. For me, it's a solid average.

We have been having a bunch of stuff going on and our dear friends sent an email stating that they…read morewere picking us up and treating us to lunch at DaVinci's. It was a wonderful experience! We shared a delightful bottle of Chardonnay and wonderful flavorful spinach dip. There are lunch specials that offer smaller portions of popular dishes - complete with salad or soup. After binging on the most amazing bread I was glad I went for the house salad. Wayne had the minestrone soup. My entree was shrimp scampi with cherry tomatoes & mushrooms - and of course shrimp, garlic, and great pasta. Wayne had Chicken Amore which, after he found the sausage was very yummy! Also - the lunch portions are smaller and we still have leftovers. Although, we did save room to share a crème brûlée. Service was excellent, we will happily come back!

Mac's grill in Auburn is an excellent local place for drinks and quality food!…read more It seems like steak and bbq are their specialty and everyone in my party of six enjoyed their meal. I had their burger that came with brisket, the bacon Mac n cheese was tasty too. Prices definitely match the food quality and the service was good. We opted to sit in the bar area and if I had a smaller group I recommend sitting at the bar, it was rather loud with the speakers and other parties so dining room is probably a better option if you want to enjoy good conversations.

Sorry no pics! We jumped right in to enjoy our outdoors dinner and forgot to take pics…read more This was my second time there and hopefully many more times in the future. My local friend consistently orders their poutine as a meal and he doesn't even finish it all. It's a huge plate of fries smothered with decadent combo of meat, cheese, and gravy. I ordered the trufflalo Brussel Sprouts, the special mussels, and maple chili rub wings. The sprouts were crispy, tangy and spicy. The broth with the mussels was so dip worthy, we wished to have had a whole load of bread. The wings were SO GOOD!!! The sweetness of the maple syrup and the kick from the chili danced like Raygun in my mouth. The rest of the gang ate sandwiches and fish and chips. My daughter loved the fish and the string onions rings. We were fortunate to have had amazing weather. So we had dinner outside by the docks on the pond. The Maine air was crisp and fresh and the colors of dusk kept changing in its brilliance in the cloudy horizon.

Linda M. 020 7 days…read moreago My mom and I went tonight (Tuesday 7/1). She had boneless wings. We both enjoyed our meals. Mom loved her wings. Tender and moist. I loved my salmon especially with that delicious maple bourbon glaze. They put enough to mix with the rice. So good!!!!!!! the broccoli was cooked perfectly, not too hard/not too soft. I really hope this restaurant stays. I have one concern.....the parking, yes, for the customers, but more so for the restaurant staff. Restaurant staff are getting parking tickets. What's the point of working downtown if all restaurant staff tips go to paying parking tickets? I suggest the owners of all the restaurants downtown talk to the city of Lewiston, and ask if restaurant staff could get a free pass to the garage after they show proof of employment. Use a sticker on the window IDing cars exempt from payment to the garage. City of Lewiston, please step up and help hard working people not lose their tips to parking tickets. Don't want to lose good workers due to parking tickets. Lewiston, you have wonderful downtown restaurants. HELP KEEP THE HELP!!!!! Abby was amazing, kind, attentive. Enjoyed her very much. The ambiance was relaxing. The lighting is prefect, not too dark, not too light. There were not many people when we were there, probably due to no available parking, so I don't know the noise level. I could guess, based on the height of the ceiling I would think it would be noisy, echo'ey, if it were packed. But not so loud as to prevent a conversation with your party. Definitely will be going back. I want to try ahi tuna next. Linda Lavoie Mckinney

I loved the hash, the pancakes and the hollandaise sauce. The potatoes were good - very mildly flavored. The eggs were tender and fluffy. There is something for everyone. Sweet and savory. You can order sides, they also have plates you can order. Mostly booth seating with a few tables. Everything was clean and nicely set. When we went, it was mostly local customers, where they all seem to know each others names. There are some rules about reservations at the entrance - along with a fridge that has some desserts for sales. There is plenty of parking in their private parking lot. I hope to be in the area again so that I can enjoy their breakfast again. YUM!!!

I ordered the Sweet Mamacita omelet (3-egg omelet with roasted sweet potatoes, cheddar, sauteed peppers and onions) with a side of home fries and a biscuit.

Everything else was great though! Will definitely be back.
