Everything was cooked perfectly. We loved the decor, it really has that mill feel without being dingy. The only downside is the parking is a bit of a walk, but it's worth it. We'll be back.

Gritty McDuff's in Auburn is an excellent choice for dinner and drinks!…read more I walked to Grittys from my hotel and sat inside the bar while they made our food to-go. The bar is spacious and on Thursday night they had someone playing life music. We ordered a pizza, burger, and pickle chips and all of the food was tasty. The service is also excellent! Only reason for 4 stars is I didn't care for their beers. I tried their blueberry ale and hazy IPA. I'm a bit of an IPA snob so don't let this ruin your opportunity to have an amazing experience. Grittys has an amazing outside dining area and a large menu! Check them out if you're in Auburn!

Having the option of sitting outside is fantastic! Loved that…read more Varied menu options - for beer, drinks, and food. Mac & Cheese with kielbasa was good. We were surprised to see a pile of jalapeños included - maybe it's on the menu and we missed it. Corn bread was moist. I opted for a build your own burger which was great. No bun, lettuce and tomato. The waitress told me to just tell her what I wanted on it and she'd get it for me. Cool. She didn't tell me I would be charged an extra $1 for a tiny bit of spinach, and 75 cents each for grilled onions and mushrooms. Not cool. I definitely would have just selected an "already made" option. I asked for sautéed mushrooms and onions so was a little surprised to get deep fried shrooms. There were good - I would probably order, and even be willing to pay extra, for them again. My issue was not being told. The seasoned fries were really good. The iced tea and Hazy IPA were (of course) good. Our waitress was a bit too attentive. It seemed almost like every time we took a bite, she was asking if everything was okay. Maybe just check in a couple times over the course of the meal? Please do remember that 3 is not bad. For me, it's a solid average.

They have a small food menu, and there was a real fruit ice cream truck parked outside. (Sadly, it was not open) Atmosphere was ok and service was fine. Not sure if I would go back, but it does look like it's a great place for groups.

Do not come here expecting to sit at a cafe and eat indoors. There are only a few outdoor tables. This is more of a take out spot. There was a preorder area which had no line seemed like a good option if you want to just drive up and grab your goods without waiting in a long line. The drinks (iced tea/cold brew/hot coffee/tea) are premade and I would say are above average. The pastries we had were unbelievable! Flakey, buttery croissants with simple but punchy flavors. This spot is worth the wait!

Was going to pick up something at Standard Baking for my parents as a souvenir of my cruise, but…read morewas warned by the staff here that I might have trouble taking food off the ship. Sad faced, I only bought a $4 lemon tart for myself to snack on. What he said matched up with what the boat itself told us, especially since we had crossed borders on this ride. So I played it safe. But my real life experience on this specific cruise at this particular time was that no one cared what I took with me when I self-disembarked.

We were looking for a quick lunch option and thought Sea Dog would be that option…read more They are having staffing issues, which was a theme in the area. Though there were open tables we had to wait 10 minutes to be seated. Which was fine but then we had to wait after that. The host could have at least helped with drinks to fill the time. He was not seating anyone. Our server was polite and apologetic and did have the entire bar and tables around her. The energy in the place was rough, but I was looking forward to my sunfish wheat, and it was enjoyable. The meal was fine when it arrived, but we had been there for almost 90 minutes. Just be prepared. But though it is a theme with some restaurants, others were doing fine. So, not sure. I do love the Sea Dog and in South Portland, I had a mug.

We ordered: -fried pickles -chicken tenders -chicken wings The chicken wings were ice cold and not edible. We tried to deal, but didn't feel safe eating it so we asked for it to be re-heated. They sent out our wings the second time even more cold than the previous so we just cancelled that order. The pickles and tenders were edible but were room temperature and stale. Food was not it. We left worrying that we might have gotten food poisoning. Definitely don't recommend for food.

Maine Beer Company, probably my favourite brewery and all of the country as of right now…read more From their deep belief in giving 1% back to the Earth of their profits, to encasing all of their beer and glass bottles for sustainability, how clean every beer tastes. I knew I had to visit the brewery before moving back to Los Angeles later in the summer and it was a highlight of my Maine trip. What an incredible job they have done with this brewery set up. From the ways in which great service is seamless, to the woodfired pizza oven, to how easy it was to order beers. I absolutely loved this place. If you want a specific beer to try, dinner is my clear favourite.

Beautifully decorated in the interior and the giant whale skeleton is awesome. Beer is so good which I knew but having it at the source made it even more special. Cons: hard to not spend your life savings at the gift shop. Not really Maine Beers fault, more like my issue :) Service was quick and efficient. Tables were spotless. Really felt like an upscale experience but not in a pretentious way

On my most recent visit the things I loved: *the service of course! *blueberry lemon cupcake. There aren't enough words to describe the deliciousness. The cupcake is filled with a blueberry compote (or something like that) and frosted with a lemon frosting. It's just amazing. AND if you keep it in the fridge and microwave it for 10 seconds, the filling warms up. YUM *maple frosted cinnamon roll. I've had their buns before but they definitely grew in size. Either plan to eat over 2 meals or share because it's ginormous If they ever have the ooey gooey banana bread cinnamon rolls, try it! So good

On the other hand, they've posted on social media to come try their newest fresh baked good, for me to drive over (I live two minutes away) and see a hand written sign on the door that says, be back in fifteen minutes. Forty minutes later, they still weren't back. I understand that we all have emergencies come up, but you need to take care of your customers and in those times, just play it safe and say you're closed for the day. After that incident, I don't go anymore, I have my friend grab me stuff when she goes, but it is good. Parking is fine, prices are okay, the vibe outside and inside is really cool. Give it a shot and hopefully you don't have a fluke. Really creative options.
