We wander a good bit when we travel. We actually went to place next door first, but this seemed so much more lively and fun! Open air bar for the most part. Great vibe. My kind of place. The folks operating the place were nice and I enjoyed myself immensely here. They take good care of you. On to the food... That was the best freaking chili dogs I have ever had! Chili was great, smothered in queso, and I mean smothered. Fresh cut fries too!! Swoon. I wish I had this in my belly every single day. I am a five star kind of guy, right?!? Or it could have been I was so stinking stoned that it felt that way! Either way.... Killer chili dog! I don't even remember what town we were in or how we got there. I had to google the place to figure out where we were. C had the pulled brisket French Dip! Borealis bread, Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, and housemade au jus. Amazing sandwich! The baked beans were very good as well. I am glad I took a bunch of pics and the food stood out so much so that it stayed locked in my memory banks so well. It was six months ago and I still think about this place. I do remember sampling all of the bbq sauces. I liked them all! I wish I had tried their bbq too. Hope I find my way back, and I hope you stumble in here, our out, either way, you will find a good time here. '26 - 69

I started my meal with the corn ribs and I'm so glad I did. They were flavorful with crispy edges and such a fun way to eat corn on the cob. Then I had the Station BBQ Quesadilla with the pulled pork. Oh my, the pulled pork was tender and juicy and stuffed into a crispy tortilla with lots of cheese and peppers and onions. I also got to take a few bites of a shared piece of corn bread. This came out hot with smoked paprika honey butter in the shape of an adorable pig on top. The corn bread was moist and sweet. At the end of our meal, the waitress even provided us with recommendations for our next destination.

We had the Brisket steak Bomb sandwiches with peppers & mushrooms, Jalapeño Bacon Cheddar Cornbread and the Mac n Cheese side. We didn't get to eat our BBQ on the spot, we took it home to eat after a long drive home. Even after driving several hours we made it home to settle down to eat our dinner, it was all so good, the Brisket was so tender mixed with the vegetables, it was an incredible burst of delicious flavors in every bit. The cornbread was sweet and spicy, an incredible partner to the Brisket sandwich. All in all, we had a terrific meal and hope to return the next time we are in the neighborhood. My only regret is that this BBQ eatery is not 10 minutes from our home, we would be there more often. Definitely coming back, see you in the spring

We ordered a flatbread pizza and then overheard our waitress tell others they were out of one of the main ingredients of our ordered pizza. Our waitress came back and said sorry we are out of flat bread so no pizza. We had a pretzel and a pickle flight. The pickles were good and the idea a neat one. I think the waitress did not want to be there as her first line to everyone after us was "the kitchen is backed up at least 30 minutes and we are out of many things". Not sure why the kitchen was backed up as the dinning room was almost empty. I had a coke and due to the backup I ordered another... no free refills of soda. Needless to say when the bill came and was $60 I asked her to review it since our main item was cancelled. The bill was correct. Never again.

Our wine was good, I had the grilled chicken sandwich and my husband had the fish and chips and we were both pleased with our choice! We dined outside on the patio and the ambiance was fabulous.

They don't take reservations, and they don't have a waitlist you can join before arriving -- which almost deterred us since we'd been driving all day and the hangry monsters were in full effect. But we risked it and actually got seated right away. Service was great -- friendly and attentive, there just enough and exactly when you needed it. The cocktails were pretty good. I had the Proper Manhattan (Woodford Reserve whiskey, sweet vermouth, and Woodford Reserve chocolate bitters, garnished with a Luxardo maraschino cherry and orange wedge) and the Proper Pig (Crown Maple bourbon and amaretto, garnished with an orange slice and bacon). My dinner was great -- I opted for the Veggie Wedgie (house-made veggie black bean burger with fontina cheese, avocado, shredded lettuce, red onion, tomato, and a citrus chipotle aioli, served on a brioche bun), and I swapped the fries for a side salad. I also added on some mac and cheese, because you gotta be bad sometimes ;) I'd order all of it again! The others got the fried fish and fried shrimp plates and weren't as enthusiastic as I was -- they said the breading was a bit too thick. Overall, it was good, and I'd hit it up again if I'm ever back in town.

Location - Great thing about their location is there are plenty of places to kill time while waiting for your table - local shops or Waterville Creates. We were there on a Saturday and we arrived around 2:30 for an late lunch/early dinner. To our surprise, there was a 25 minute wait! It's a popular family restaurant as well. It's a lot bigger inside than it seems from the outside. When you walk in, there are mostly high tables and a long bar with seating. Walk past the bar and on the right is a dining area with a lot more tables. We had 2 kids and 4 adults and we had plenty of room at a center table. There were booths along the wall. Our server was so great. So patient, and kind. She was great. She checked in regularly, our drinks never went dry. The food was excellent. We had the food for take out during the pandemic and thought it was ok. Having it in the restaurant - HUGE difference. I got the cheese curd burger without the top bun. My nephew loved his chicken wings, my niece loved her mac and cheese. We all loved our burgers and my bro-in-law liked his reuben. I loved the fries, they seemed more the "chips" from the UK - which I loved. Parking - street or on the concourse below Main Street. We will definitely be back.

I ordered the smoked turkey sandwich and we split fries and Brussels sprouts. First the good - I loved my turkey sandwich. The meat, unsurprisingly, was delicious and the avocado and melted Swiss gave a nice creaminess to counter the crispiness of the bread. My only small complaint was that I don't love lettuce on a grilled sandwich since it tends to get kind of soggy. The fries were good. Nothing exceptional but tasty. The bad - the fried Brussels sprouts were beyond fried. They were literally black. Burnt to a crisp. I like my food a little charred typically but this was well beyond a light char. We ended up throwing them away. It was a shame because otherwise this would have been a five star review. Long story short - will be back for the turkey sandwich, will skip the Brussels sprouts.
