    Riverside Take-Out
    Stephen F.

    Back again in 2023 for another season. Still a great place!!! Food amazing, service spectacular, and the atmosphere the most welcoming!!!

    Clam basket and lobster roll.

    Have been in the past and was impressed. Went today and was underwhelmed. Clam basket had a very skimpy number of huge, bordering on grotesquely large, belly clams. There was almost more tartar sauce than clams in the basket. We ordered a mixed seafood platter at the much fancier sit down place right down the way and the belly clam portion on the mixed platter was larger than the entire portion of this clam basket for the same price and the clams were better at the other place. Fries were not done, which is always a let down. Lobster roll was good but was on a mini bun, expensive for what you got. Overall, pretty meager offering compared to what it once was. An easy pass in the future.

    We were driving through Machias on a weekend and lucky enough to stumble upon this place! Great food, great people, great prices! We had some tasty fried local seafood and pickle chips. The menu was extensive and even had some vegetarian options. We loved having a chance to support local business during this pandemic and were happy to see a lot of pride themed decor. Can't wait to come back!

    Hi friends, your traveling foodie here with another tish delish review for Riverside Takeout. This place is the best take out in Machias, hands down. It is run by two incredible people who know their food and are too funny as well. Not only that, if you have furry family with you (your pet) they get a free treat too and doggie ice cream! Who does that? They do apparently! Not to mention that everything you get, receives a tiny rainbow flag. It's adorable! We seriously love these guys. Everything we got here, we loved. Here are the highlights: We had their lobster roll (light and delish), shrimp roll (it was perfect), fried clams (yum!), fried pickles, broccoli bites (fried broccoli and cheese served with ranch), fish and chips (the best hand down), haddock sandwich, their delicious ice cream in a generous portion with an ice cream cone fantastic for sharing. If you are on a diet, do not worry, they have some healthy options too. They've been around for 12 seasons. They are not open during the winter. Their menu changes so they'll have something new the next year. Depending on what you get, it can be a bit pricey, but the quality is well worth it. Whichever you pick, you will enjoy! Things to watch out for: Wednesday can get really busy. They have an area you can sit in but make sure to have sun screen on those hot summer days. Bon appetite!!

    I stopped by Riverside Take Out on my way back to Campobello Island after visiting the Blueberry Festival in Machias this summer. Having passed this little outpost a few times, and leaving the festival somewhat hungry, I thought it was a perfect time to see what they had to offer. I was craving a crab roll - so I ordered their regular version (served on a hot dog roll and can be made with or without lettuce). They have a large (or jumbo) option that is on a hoagie roll but I wasn't ready for that much food. Though it is a counter service style place, they were friendly and prompt. I also wanted to mention how glad I was to see the plethora of pamphlets and advertisements on the nearby walls in support of the local area parks and animal shelters. It was nice to see such forward thinking being promoted. Though I can only speak for my roll, which was tasty, I would definitely recommend a stop through for a quick bite and local support.

    Awesome haddock burger. Two thumbs up from the kids for the ice cream float & moose tracks ice cream...huge portions. Friendly service.

    Machias isn't exactly a mecca for foodies - nor should it be. That's not why you should be here. But, if you are, and there's lots of reasons to do so, The Riverside Take-Out is a great place to eat. The owners are a hoot and aim to please. The food is made to order, the view of the river is pleasant, and they'll provide goodies for your dog, as well. This is downeast Maine - it's low key, fairly priced, convenient, and fun. We eat there a couple of time every summer when we're in that wonderful part of the world.

    We were driving from Canada, along hwy 1 in Maine and came across this small little road side stand. The owner was very friendly and the food was excellent. Wish I could go back, but being from CA, that's just not going to happen.

    The reason why I made this mcdonalds one star is because it was 8 at night and I wanted something…read moresomething to eat becauee I didnt have dinner and the staff was rude and the service sucked also when I opened my big mac. I has a big mac meal and fries also with a white milk. They had me pull over for 15 to 20 minutes. When they ''passed'' it they about threw it at me and I thought HOW RUDE. And when I opened the big mac. Guess what I find? It was covered in thousand island dressing and I mean covered. I had a hard time picking it up. And th3 fries were not fresh and the milk tasted.... expired. Also the ambiance was a outrage becauee it took 1 hour for me to order. It was an outrage like I said. Also the cashier was snobby like he just rolled outta bed and called it good the way the gentleman was acting. Anyways to save you the trouble DO NOT GO TO MCDONALD'S IN MACHIAS!!!

First, the drive-thru line moved at the speed of continental drift. I'm fairly certain I aged a year waiting for a simple burger and fries. When I finally reached the window, the staff looked as thrilled to be there as someone waiting at the DMV on a Monday morning. The food? Spectacularly disappointing. The fries were cold and limp -- not even remotely crispy. My burger looked like it had been assembled during an earthquake. The bun was squished, the toppings were haphazardly thrown on, and the cheese wasn't even melted. I've had better meals out of a vending machine. To top it off, they forgot half the order. No napkins, no sauce, and somehow no straw for the drink. It felt less like fast food and more like a scavenger hunt. The dining area wasn't much better. Tables were sticky, the soda machine was out of multiple options, and the whole place just felt tired and neglected. I don't expect five-star dining from McDonald's, but I do expect warm food and basic accuracy. This visit managed to miss even that low bar. I'll be thinking twice before stopping here again -- and maybe packing a sandwich instead.
