    Nice cozy, casual place. Service was excellent. Food as very fresh and good. We are a big school…read moregroup but the servers and staff were very attentive and professional.

    I stopped by hungry on my way through Machias, Maine and decided to try Mason's…read more There is plenty of parking and the restaurant entrance has a ramp. I started off with the only draft lager, the Midnight Train. It was dark and had a coffee taste which is not my thing. I had asked the waitress if she had ever tried it and she had not, but did offer a taste first which I declined. There is a huge wrap around bar or wooden tables to dine in. Casual ambience. Restrooms were very clean. I had the fish and chips and that came out quickly. The house made tarter was very good, along with the coleslaw. I ordered a side of cowboy beans and they were flavorful and hearty. Really delicious. However, it is a huge portion for a side (maybe the size should be specified or marked as a sharable) and there was no price listed on the menu. The price was $10, pretty steep for a side in my opinion (which I learned only after getting the check). I decided to take the beans home with a hot dog to go, and was told the dog comes with a side as well; apparently you cannot just get a dog alone! So that was $8 for a dog and a sad portion of kraut that was just ok. The bill came to $45.90 and I gave the waitress $60 and she asked, "do you want your change?" Seems she expected a huge tip based on minimal service. I politely said "yes, please." My change was $14.10. She brought back $14 but not the 10 cents. Seems like a dumb thing to complain about, but this is not right. Not giving people the correct change is never ok and it works in the restaurants favor and screws the customer and based on that fact alone, I would not recommend and don't plan to return.

    Let's begin with the ambiance! Schoodic peninsula is gorgeous, we rented hybrid electric bikes and…read moreended at the Pickled wrinkle, which was suggested to us from a local. The restaurant is tucked away from the main road and has plenty of seating inside and out. Nice little bar area decorated very nautical and cute. The star of the show was the blueberry margarita - WOW! That alone was 5 stars. The food was decent, we got a salad and some chicken tenders and then the Brussels sprouts. As you walk in, they note that it might take extra time to make your food because it's a small kitchen made to order but we were pleasantly surprised at how efficient they were! Our waitress was kind and helpful. If we were locals to this area definitely would be back!

    One of a kind establishment. Something that you really should try…read more We were here 8 years ago and are back since we were nearby. So the wrinkles are carnivorous sea snails. They are pickled. The story goes that years ago as the fishermen were starving during a bad fishing season..., the locals survived on pickled wrinkles. This is likely the only place on the planet that serves this unique delicacy. Don't miss the chance to try it. The crab cakes are delicious too. The place is rustic so the ambiance is pure Maine. Folks are friendly and helpful. One of the most unique places in Maine. The owner is Jesse and a nice guy. Tell him the Hobbs from SC sent you.
