    Breaded Fish Fry
    Norma P.

    Visited for the first time with friends a week ago Friday. As it was Friday I decided to have the fish fry...I chose the breaded with mashed potatoes for a side. The fish was delicious ...very very good and the portion of mashed potatoes was also good. I was disappointed in the small container of coleslaw slaw and the size of the very small roll. Definite opportunity for improvement in this area...even good Italian bread would be a great improvement and a larger helping of cole slaw would increase my plans to return.

    Brookside sandwich

    Came in for lunch and had the fried pickles and a Brookside sandwich. The pickles were great both with or without dipping them in the sauce. The breading was crispy and not too thick. They were cut lengthwise like fries. The sandwich was amazing. Tons of fillings. I took half home and it was good as leftovers too. It's a sandwich I'll tell people about and will want to come back for.

    Poutine
    Vicky B.

    We came for a late lunch and I ordered the poutine. Although it's listed as a starter, it's a huge serving. I had half for my meal and the other half for a meal later that night. Every bit of it was fantastic- the yancy fancy cheese curds, the fries and the beef gravy. Service was friendly and quick.

    This is a comfort food place. The hot roast beef sandwich was very bland and unseasoned but the portion was nice for the price point. The poutine with pot roast was like warm, cheese wasn't melted and also unseasoned. The chicken bites were hard and not as good as Applebee's. They also were not properly sauced. But on the plus side the celery and carrots were spot on! They ran out of orange juice so I couldn't have my desired drink. Ordered a frozen strawberry margarita instead and it was the worst bad, too much Tequila for the ratio and it was more liquidy than frozen. Overall the service was good and the atmosphere was friendly and casual

    Could have sworn I reviewed the Brookside way back when. I think the venue had recently gone under new ownership just when the pandemic started in 2020, and they rose to the challenge of reimagining their venue. We ordered takeout often. My favorite is their poutine. My husband and son like their wings. Another son enjoys their chicken tenders. We've since dined in a couple of times. The food is fantastic. They offer a good mix of comfort food and more creative offerings, as well as seasonal specials. I love getting a side of their wasabi ranch with the fish fry. They have a small bar and a good selection of wines, including a couple local wines. The restaurant is small but cozy. Service is great.

    Wrap with a lot of meat in it.

    The restaurant was very nice and clean with very nice decor. It was completely empty which is surprising for 1pm on a Saturday, but a few tables showed up while we were eating. Service was good, and food was fast. I got the roast beef, and the gravy was a little thick and salty, but still good. My husband got a wrap that had a lot of meat in it. My only concern of the restaurant and the reason I gave it four stars is the place is under construction and it smelled overwhelmingly like fresh paint. Really strong fresh paint. They needed to air out the place, I got used to it after 15 min, but it was really unappetizing at first.

    A good selection - Blackbird Cider and Two Rods Hazy IPA

    We had been up in Lewiston and took the long way home, not knowing where we were we searched Yelp and saw this place close. My wife saw the menu had many good gf options so we decided to seek it out. So glad we did, we will definitely be back when we are in the area. One of the specials was a grilled peach and blueberry salad which my wife loved. So many options on the menu, you will need to come back a few times for sure!

    Northern Pier Bar and Grill - Fish fry (and shrimp from another dish)

    We've been meaning to come here ever since it first opened. My husband enjoyed his burger. It was…read morecooked medium rare to order. My son devoured the entirety of his fish and chips, and it was a huge fillet. I had golden beer battered shrimp. The shrimp was plump and perfectly cooked. The batter is light and tasty. No honey mustard if that's what you like for your salad (fries for me). My son and husband really liked the Carolina gold sauce the kitchen recommended as an alternative. It's good and has a similar tang, just not for me. The ranch was solid. They have a limited beer and wine selection. We didn't notice they had a bar for mixed drinks until after the fact. The menu says they will offer local wines soon, which I like to see (and prefer to order) at local establishments. Service was excellent. The restaurant is bright and open with a subtle blue nautical theme. Comfortable booths. We'll be back.

    This is one of our favorites for fish dinners on Friday. I love that, if you order the fish fry,…read more$1.00 of that price goes to the Olcott Fire Company. They recently changed their menu and now offer one of my favorites: Chicken Cordon bleu. Loved it the first time I ordered it and so far, haven't disappointed. Their clam chowder is delicious and you know it is clams...you can find them in their cup...not like some other places I go where you aren't sure it really is clam chowder. Service is friendly and if you go there enough, the servers know what you like to drink and are ready for you when you get in. Loved their bourbon bacon burger too. It is a casual place and children are welcomed and it is handicapped accessible. Lovely little entry way, too.
