Have to say that the Cornflake Crusted Haddock was the most delicious fried fish I have had. A thick and perfectly cooked trio of fresh fish chunks with the lightest of coating giving it a perfect light crunch. The fries are hand cut and super fresh with the perfect crunch also. Slaw and tartar sauce both homemade. My friend had the club sandwich on the pretzel bread and she was very pleased. A great find on the waterfront.

Also ordered three of the breweries beers-whistle pig stout, Irish red and strong ale. (6:15pm) The loaded fries was a HUGE serving...crispy fries with plenty of toppings. It was plenty for three to share along with the other appetizers. The pierogis were delicious and cooked great. The bacon garlic fingers were well cooked (least favorite). The meatballs were amazing!! The glaze and bacon made it my favorite of all!! One warning... This is a bar and some of the regular patrons use the most interesting language with freeness and ease....may be a little off putting for some guest

But then it took 20 minutes just to be brought menus, another 15 minutes before anyone came back to take our drink order, and a further 20 minutes after that before our food order was finally taken. The food itself didn't arrive for another 30 minutes after that. By the time we'd eaten and left, it was 9pm -- over two hours for a fairly simple dinner. And after all that, the food was mediocre -- we paid around $50 for it. The one genuine positive was the view of the water, which was stunning. Lubec is a long way out of the way for most people -- the appeal is being the easternmost point in the US, with genuinely lovely scenery. But that's exactly what makes this frustrating: this restaurant knows most visitors are here once, won't be back, and have limited other options nearby. It's hard not to feel like that's being taken advantage of rather than earning the visit. Wouldn't rush back, and if I were traveling through again, I'd look elsewhere.

But then upon learning that it was replaced with wine (and not Sutter Home/Franzia/Night Train), my disappointment evaporated. Not what you'd expect to see in Machias (especially not for very long), where Natty Light and The Beast reign as the preferred beverages....but the owners aren't doing it to turn a profit, they're doing it for the love of it. We got to chat with them for a little bit and that was nice to learn. They have tons of wonderful wines from around the world here (even some from Virginia....wtf?) and my husband and I were able to satisfy our wine snobbery even in the outer reaches of downeast Maine during our stay thanks to these guys. They have a lovely Spanish grenache as well as a crisp Pouilly-Fuisse that we pretty much lived off of. In addition, they have lots of excellent specialty cheeses to offer, and will give you samples to try while you shop. Prices are basically what we're used to for California (the previous reviewer mentioned that they're probably a little steep for Machias and I'd have to agree) but definitely worth it when the next best shit in town is the Bogle available at Hannaford.

My visits are almost always on Saturday or Sunday afternoons, seated at the bar, and usually involve a couple of Airline's excellent beers, conversations with the friendly staff, and a sandwich or a bowl of tasty Airline chili. The brewery and restaurant building was originally a sawmill and both the dining room and bar are chock-full of antique tools, artifacts and photos reflecting its storied past. There is a cozy sitting/dining area between the entrance and the bar, with a couple of tables, comfy chairs and a sofa near the fireplace. The other 2/3 of the room consists of a larger dining area with more tables, a dart board and TV. And did I say every square foot of wall space is filled with reminders of Maine woods history? Well worth a visit, and if you are into ATVs or snowmobiles, Airline Brewing is easily accessible from a state ATV trail.
