    Flight
    Alyona Z.

    10/8/25 My husband and I stopped by to try out their beers. Unfortunately, they didn't have any Pilsner options on tap, which was the main reason we came in. We ordered a beer flight and their Smashing Pumpkin beer, and it was pretty good! Service was friendly and attentive. The only downside is that it's not pet friendly, so we had to leave our dog in the car. Overall, a decent experience.

    Side of fries with dirty seasoning and dips
    Delaney A.

    My wife and I popped in here on our way to Acadia National Park and it was a pleasant surprise! The restaurant is right on the river so you have a gorgeous view as well as access to the riverfront park. The first time we came, it was pretty cold, wet, and dreary outside and it was still such a nice view. Service was efficient! As soon as we walked in, we were seated outside and were able to order a couple beers while we decided what to get for food. Both of the beers we got were sours or sour-adjacent and both were good! For food, we started off with just a side of fries with the dirty seasoning (not the dirty fries on the menu, I believe these are new since we were there). The fries were just okay. They were very dark and not crispy so that leads me to believe that maybe they use peanut oil for frying? Not sure but they weren't the best. They needed a lot of salt as well. The sauces we ordered for dipping were the Bacon Blue Cheese, Liquid Gold BBQ and Black Garlic Ranch. All but the Gold were really tasty! The gold just tasted like honey mustard which is not what we wanted. We expected tang like a gold should be. We also ordered burgers; the Sweet Hot Mess and the Butter Burger. Both were delicious but the Butter Burger was better. It was soooo buttery. Spot on! For sides, we got the Hoisin Sprouts and the Pork Cracklins with salt and vinegar seasoning. The sprouts were too sweet and not spicy enough for my liking. The cracklins....now THOSE are something to write home about. And in fact, I did say in the beginning that we came here more than once. And that was because of these cracklins. We stopped back in on the way back to the airport and best believe we took these babies back home to FL with us. Had the best post-travel snack on the couch!! If we find ourselves in Brewer/Bangor again, we'll make a point to stop into Mason's!

    Coffee Milk Stout

    It was very busy on a Wednesday evening in the off season. The hostess was very nice and pretty accurate on our wait time. The wait gave us time to check out the cool apparel which we did end up buying (and would have bought more if they would have had our sizes). Our waitress was very nice but I did feel sorry for her because she was having to work the entire back section of the restaurant. I would say she did an amazing job but I'm with the other yelpers that they need more staff. We did have to also wait a longer than expected time for the food. Maybe that's intentional so you drink more beer. I'm allergic to hops but my daughter said the Coffee Milk Stout was very good and they had a wide selection. I had the burger and it was really tasty. The bun was super soft and fresh, the smash burger was perfectly seasoned and cooked, and the pickles were oh so yummy. We also had the Truffle pig pie. It was good but we wished we would have put red pepper flakes on it to give it a little heat. Large inside and outside with a definite brewery feel. I saw they also allowed dogs on the porch and had water bowls for them which is cool. The view on the river is great.

    While visiting Bangor, Maine, everyone said we had to go to Mason's Brewing Company! We were delighted to find this fantastic spot, right over the bridge in Brewer, Maine. Mason's, offering a top-notch selection of craft beer and delicious food, all with a scenic view of the Penobscot River. The atmosphere is casual and lively, making it a great place to relax with friends or family. One of the standout appetizers is the giant pretzel, which is perfectly baked to a golden brown with a crisp exterior and a soft, chewy inside. I asked for all of the pairings! Pickles, cheese curds, pickled cabbage, a rich beer cheese sauce, and a tangy mustard dip, all complement the pretzel beautifully. It's an ideal starter to share--or keep all to yourself! The pizza at Mason's is also a must-try. Cooked in a brick oven, the crust comes out thin, crispy, and full of flavor. We opted for the classic cheese pizza, but I'm sure they don't make a bad pie! The combination of the smoky crust and high-quality cheese makes every bite satisfying. I opted for a glass of cider, and my husband tasted local beers in a flight. The friendly service and riverside location make this brewery a standout destination in Maine! - Great beer options, amazing food, and an unbeatable setting!

    Cider and desserts!
    Brianna C.

    Stopped in just for a drink and dessert! Super cool place right on the water. Crème brûlée was good! The little apple fries were also good.

    This place is arguably the best restaurant in Bangor. Service is great, food is better, and the beer is cold. It's truly an amazing find for such a small area. You cannot beat it. We'll be back

    Came on a busy Saturday night while in town for a concert! There was a 45 minute wait, but my cousin and I were able to quickly find two seats at the bar! I'm glad we did because our bartender, Tucker, was delightful! She was full of energy and made our experience enjoyable! I went with one of their house-made ciders which was on the drier side. For food, I got the equivalent of a patty melt which was delicious! The potato salad on the side wasn't my favorite, but everything else was great! Sadly it was raining while we were there, but I would love to sit on their beautiful deck by the water if I make it back!

    Truffle Pig
    Helen H.

    We came here for a quick lunch before our flight. The menu was confusing to look at initially, because it is aligned on the right. It looks like it's upside down at first glance. We shared the truffle pig pizza. I liked how different mushrooms were used. The middle was a bit soggy though and didn't hold up. As for the beers... My bf had a flight and didn't really enjoy any of it.

    Butter Burger Blistered Sprouts
    Glen S.

    Great casual dining experience. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Staff is great and helpful with food and beer choices. Service was fast and orders weee correct. I've been here for lunch and dinner and never had a bad meal. Definitely recommend and stop by Masons

    Butter Burger with sweet potato fries
    K R.

    Lovely location with a terrace for outdoor seating with views of the river and different seating areas indoors. Not fully staffed on the day of our visit, as hostess stand was struggling to keep up with guests. We were hungry and didn't want to wait for outdoor seating. Matt was our server, he was not very engaging and could have made us feel more welcome. Food was terrific. We had the butter burger and patty melt, one with sweet potato fries the other with celery slaw and both were excellent. The Pale Ale quenched my thirst.

    Stopped by The Grind House on my way through from Bar Harbor to Boston Logan International…read more I was excited to see an impossible breakfast sandwich on the menu as well as a peanut butter mocha. Seriously, two of my favorite things to see on a coffee house menu. That said the execution was a bit off for me. The Impossible breakfast sandwich was served on an insubstantial bun (the type that is more air than anything) and was overall pretty basic. Their signature sauce mentioned in several dishes, seems to be thousand island or maybe tartar sauce? Either way, it wasn't my favorite. The peanut butter mocha was also a bit of a miss for me. I wasn't a fan of either their chocolate or their espresso (or the peanut butter flavor they used, for that matter). The shop itself is quirky and comfortable. We were able to get a spot by the windows, which was nice and the service was lovely. It would definitely be a good and comfortable spot for working and it could be that had I ordered differently, it may have been more my cup of tea (or coffee, as they case may be). But for what I ordered, it was a bit of a swing and a miss.

    Walked in and wow, lots to read on the menu! Which can be good and bad depending on how much time…read moreyou want to spend reading menus. I chose a egg and cheese on a croissant bun and a caramel turtle latte. I came here because it had been highly recommended, but I have to say, I expected more, but depends on what you like, right?? Plenty of seating, centrally located in the city, easy parking, and plenty of coffee concoctions to try out. My coffee was missing the whipped cream, but oh well. The froth for the latte was odd, it deflated super quickly, not sure what happened there. And the sweetness was sweet, but it was missing that caramel turtle flavor I thought I was going to get. For me, this was meh. I expected something more decadent. My egg sandwich was good. Basic. Not a real croissant either. It was a croissant bun of some sort. It seemed, well, basic, or economical. But it was filling and the egg was good. I also have to say that when I departed, I smelled like a convenience store that sells those hotdogs on rollers... I smelled all day, I had to wash my hair to get the smell out. I also have to mention the heavy music that was playing. It was obscene and it was loud. So loud it made it challenging to order and I did eat my meal quickly and leave. It was a Tuesday morning around 9 am. But hey I am getting older so this may not have been a good choice for me.

    We dropped in for an early dinner on a weeknight at the end of October. The temperature outside…read morewas about 44 degrees. The temperature in the dining room was about the same and despite a large number of customers wearing their coats at the tables, the staff did nothing to remedy the situation. The place was clean and cute, dog-themed and decorated for Halloween, and the menu is basically all burgers, salads and sandwiches. We split a classic naan breadsticks, which turned out to be a naan flatbread pizza that tasted and looked like a crappy frozen pizza from a gas station. We also shared a classic cheeseburger that was pretty good; definitely above average and comparable in taste and size to Smashburger. The men's room was clean, service was okay, and that's about it. Prices were comparable to other places in the area, but given the uncomfortable HVAC, waitress upsell, and lousy, inauthentic naan we won't be going back.

It is a narrow space, but it seemed like a larger one. The food was excellent. I got a gouda burger and ended up taking half of it home. The app filled me up--four nice sized egg rolls stuffed with reuben ingredients. Yummy! The only sticking point I had was the unfriendly service. When I thank a person for every little thing they do, I kind of expect at least a smile. Not happening. Perhaps if I had bought alcohol it would have been friendlier? That kind of is off-putting. Nonetheless, great food.
