My husband and I each ordered sausage sub. It was outstanding. Just enough spice, hot off the grill with onions and peppers on a sub roll. If I were to make one recommendation it would be to increase the size of the sub roll. So delicious though! On our way out we grabbed two homemade molasses cookies for the road. They were AMAZING. I haven't had a homemade molasses cookie in 40 years but I'll tell you, this was the best I've ever had. I get that the hours are hit or miss. It's a mom and pop shop. If you're in the area and they are open stop in. You won't regret it. We will definitely stop in again.

The chili is my husband's favorite chock full of meat with the perfect heat, and the pulled pork and coleslaw are mine. My son swears by the frito pie. The cornbread is a huge wedge, buttered and grilled.definitely shareable, but why would you want to?? Also I am a sucker for a great molasses cookie and these are phenomenal. You order at window and pay at bar. Usually some friendly locals in there having a drink. There is some seating inside. They were only taking cash and there is an atm inside. There are lots of local food items and spices to purchase and a freezer of their menu items to purchase for home. We stop whenever we're going through and they're open. Highly recommend!

Many restaurants are closed at this time but luckily The Hawks Nest Lodge was open the day we were passing through. We were the only patrons at lunch. Welcomed by several friendly staff and we decided to sit at the bar for lunch. A beautiful pine bar with rustic pine bar seats. The ambiance was very good and very welcoming. Really personable bartender talked with us about the area. Loved the menu of some classics and a lamb burger! Had to get the lamb and glad I did. Delicious. Made with lamb and feta cheese it was served in a burger bun. We upgraded to the French fries, glad we did as they were hot and had a perfect crisp. Really easy parking and good, clean restrooms. A wonderful stop!

Location is great and it's always busy plus a strong hangout for locals or summer folks like us. Service was quick as was the food coming out, but here is the rub. We ordered a single pretzel, 4 beers @ $10 each and a large order of chicken tenders @ $18. They go by weight for the tenders which ended up being 4 in total. We asked if they could do half the order in one sauce & the balance in another which they did. What they failed to mention was a charge of $4 to do so. The total bill for what we ordered was $74 before tax and tip. Food was fine, average pub grub; nothing that would knock your socks off. Would you go back? To come back on a warm day and sit on their deck and have a single beer sure. Beyond that I'm not sure I can bring myself to do it.

Quoted 20 minutes for a takeout burger, fries and cornbread. I arrived and was asked to pay (and…read moretip!) promptly. After paying, I learned of a miscommunication in the kitchen and was asked to check back in after about 10 minutes. On my second arrival, I was told that the "cornbread was just coming out of the oven" with no other updates or communication for the following 15 minutes . 50 minutes after calling (and receiving my 20 minute quote) I was out the door - no utensils, no condiments and a soggy burger bun. My meal: Burger was on the colder side, the cheese had gone translucent across the top of my patty. I had one hearty slice of romaine and a 1/2" thick crosscut of red onion as my toppings. Fries should have been hotter, and a serving of ketchup or other would have gone a long way. Corn bread was decent, and suitably hot for consumption.

The barbecue had good flavor but it was advertised as spicy so I was expecting spicy. It was mild for my taste. The meat is nice and tender though. There are also a few options for sauce so that is cool. The coleslaw was decent but could have a better flavor. The cornbread was kinda dry. Prices were reasonable and portions are good. They keep the truck clean and organized. I salute the food truck owners for their tremendous efforts in their business though. Next time, I'll probably try the brisket.

Definitely get an order of the smoked mac and cheese!

Brew the Coop Newish…read more(ca. 2019) Brewpub located in the heart of Downtown Rangeley that's located in a historic (ca. 1912) tavern. Not only do they sport their own brews, but they have a killer brick pizza oven to boot. The Good: *Huge outdoor space but oddly they don't have any coverings, like umbrellas, to keep you out of the sun. *Great views of the lake and people watching. *Service was friendly and pleasant (see below) *Nice selection of their own brews and other micro and macro brews on-tap, as well as fermented grapes, as well as a full bar. *Tater Kegs were delicious and a very unique item; if cheese and ham stuffed tater tots doesn't get you torqued up, then it's time to turn in your foodie card. *Bison burger was excellent and cooked perfectly medium. The concomitant brioche bun and bacon jam really sealed the deal, as well. The fries were pretty bomb, too. The Meh: *"No Pet Policy" is kinda wild, but kinda ubiquitous here in Rangeley. Which, to tell the truth, is sorta strange because it's usually rich people who like to schlep their dogs around and what do rich people like to do? Ski, boat, and fish--three things synonymous with Rangeley. Interesting, eh? *Interior isn't as big as it looks from the outside, but is still fairly ample. *They seemed overwhelmed on our visit and very short-staffed, as the food took a looooong time to come out. Fortunately, we were in vacation mode--and I had a beer in-hand--so it was all good on our end, but if you're looking for a quick meal, this might not be it. The Ugly: *The fact that they actually have to have a "Bee Policy" (see pic) is crazy. If I have to explain it to you, then you're part of the problem. *Their "website" (aka The Facebooks) is kinda funny place to be posting people with their dead deer carcasses. 0_o Conclusion: A couple of iffy deals here, but the food was fantastic--and that's what matters.

We shared appetizers (tots, truffle fries, pickle chips) and then some pizzas. Pizzas were creative and larger than expected! We had plenty of leftovers for midnight snacks. My favorite was the blueberry pork pizza. It was an unexpected pizza combo, but it works!!! Drink selection is vast! I had a canned blueberry sour and I was super pleased. I will say we asked for water when we ordered drinks, and again when we order meals and we never got them. I understand we were a bigger group, but it would have been a perfect experience if we could have gotten water with our meal. I liked this place! I'll come back the next time I'm in Rangeley and try more pizzas.
