You get three choices of bread, no skimping on the meat. Comes with fries that are perfectly crisp and hot. Portion size was just right. Prices vary reasonable.

Very mediocre food, at best…read more We stopped in for a late lunch yesterday. My wife ordered the chicken stuffed with cranberries, grapes, and brie. I went with crab stuffed Haddock, and we had a calamari appetizer. My wife's chicken was bland and the brie cheese was nonexistent. Also, her baked potato was brown inside. And my wife's cocktail wasn't prepared as advertised on the menu. My Haddock meal was equally lackluster. Our waitress never really engaged us or came back to ask how everything was (and the place was pretty dead, being mid-afternoon). I guess if you're coming here to drink, the subpar food won't bother you much. No return visit to the Lion's Den Tavern in our future.

We split a very large chef's salad that tasted fresh, crisp, and clearly made to order -- definitely big enough for two and what appeared to be homemade chunky blue cheese dressing I also ordered the mango habanero chicken wings, and they were outstanding. The wings were cooked perfectly crispy with a sweet-heat flavor that hits just right. Must-try if you like a little kick! Friendly service, great portions, and food that tastes fresh. We'll definitely be back

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.

For example, the onion soup is outstanding the calamari excellent.

The venue is spacious and wide open with plenty of TVs. It was a great place to watch the Olympics.
