It was crispy, perfectly sized pieces, very flavorful (I think it was teriyaki) and the portion was generous. We had the pizza special of the day (elote) with vegan cheese and it was decent. The breaded cauliflower app would have been better with some salt/flavoring in the breading and the brussel sprouts had great flavor and texture but they burnt them a bit and it took away from making them a 10/10. The environment was a little loud but the view of the river was nice and the server was pleasant even if a little busy and absent at times.

Last time we came I learned that you can order lunch items at breakfast times, so since we do breakfast at restaurants so often, I did lunch once. I went with a burger plate. The burger wasn't perfectly juicy, but it was tasty enough. On our most recent trip, however, I migrated back to the breakfast menu. I wanted the breakfast sandwich in a biscuit, with sausage, and it was great. It comes with home fries, grilled or deep fried. I prefer grilled myself. The server asked if I wanted to add sautéed onion, which I like, but I didn't want to ask if there was an up charge, so I passed! I also ordered a side of corn beef hash. All of it was great, and half of it came home with me for a leftover meal. My wife had side orders of over easy eggs and sausage gravy on a biscuit and she liked it also. One of our companions is vegan, and she was pleased with her veggie omelet, no cheese. Our other companion's weak coffee (one-third coffee, two-thirds water) was forgotten, but it was easily rectified. We like going here. It is nearby, they are all friendly and and even recognize us in this small town.

The only thing holding me back is the crazy wait time on a not so busy Sunday, for the food to be served. Like over an hour wait time for a sandwich and fried fish special. But I digress...on to the good! The fried fish was outstanding! There was a very large amount of flaky fresh haddock that had the perfect coating and was not greasy at all. I would say - some of the best I've had! I opted for the side salad instead of the fries. I'll not make that mistake again. Don't get me wrong, the salad was fresh and very nice...but those fries that came with the Reuben were excellent! I'm not sure, maybe hand cut? They had a great seasoning on them and were so crispy with a soft center. If they are from frozen- I want the company name to figure out where to get some for myself! My husband enjoyed his Reuben as well. Oh, and bonus was that they had my favorite hard cider - freedom's edge, sweet mulled, as well WHICH they served in a chilled glass. Love it! We will definitely be back, but not when we're super hungry or in a hurry to get either upta camp or home. I get things run slower in that neck of the woods, but moving things along in the kitchen a little faster would do wonders for those passing through!

Being winter, we ate inside this time! As always, and as mentioned in the first review, I had to find something different to try, as I cook a lot of breakfasts for myself at home. I settled on the corned beef hash, made in house, with the home fries, eggs and toast. The hash was excellent, as were the home fries and rye toast. The eggs were scrambled well enough, I suppose, but they seemed bland. Maybe I should have asked for a little salsa! The coffee was just okay considering they were advertising the Carrabassett brand they used. My wife ordered the avocado scramble, which also came with eggs and home fries, and she added bacon on the side. Unlike ravenous me, she had to take her eggs home. I can't forget to mention the server (Maggie?) who was friendly, chatty and took great care of us. I recommend Vittles even for breakfast, but I will repeat what I said in the other review: I want to get back there for lunch or dinner!
