I will start this review off by saying that I am only placing this review for the breakfast on a…read moreSaturday morning in Machias Maine. I will tell you this if you order something off the menu for breakfast your portions are so big that it may take two or three people to eat one serving so be prepared to take some home with you as my portion of pancakes and omelette would serve an army . I was talking to one of the locals, and they stated that the owner of this restaurant served large portions because he felt it was his way of giving back to the community and not always worried about budgets and money. The only drawback about eating breakfast here is you can still smell some of the odors from the partying the night before as it had a dance club/nightclub atmosphere on a Friday night. So, if you are looking for a breakfast and you wanna go somewhere different than Helen's across the street, check this place out you won't be disappointed by the variety of their menu for breakfast and the quality of the food that comes out.

Amazing little place, on Main Street but still easy to miss unless you are looking right at it. A…read morefavorite with the locals, and just one meal there will make that obvious. Others have talked about the size of the portions, but even more importantly is the quality of the food. We had the Haddock Burger with Fries, and the Haddock Platter, also with Fries and Slaw. If eating in your car is your thing, take the time to drive across the street into the parking lots behind and across from the Machias River General Store. There you can watch the goings on at the Bad Little Falls Park - depending upon the time of year and season, folks will be casting their nets across the Falls. That spectacle, combined with the terrific food served to you by the skilled staff, will be well worth your visit. Recommended!

It tasted as though it had been dredged in finely ground, commercially prepared, seasoned Italian bread crumbs. The flavors of th coating were off, tasting like stale crumbs. It wasn't crispy, and chicken it self was tough and thick. The pasta was over cooked and the sauce was thin. Our friends had the fish and the serving were huge. They said it was tasty.

I received the coffee but without the sweetener I requested. No donuts. Got someone's attention and requested the donuts. I was given one. Flagged down another person to get the second. The time was about 2:00 PM and I was the only person in the store. Only a few cars in drive-through. I counted 9 staff inside. Most were working, some were talking among themselves. It was a struggle to get anybody's attention. I dealt with four different people. It was hard to make eye contact with anyone and not a single person smiled or said thank you. Hopefully, today was just a bad day and things will be better if I stop again.

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.

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!!!
