    Queso
    Sue L.

    We went down home for the Machias ATV Jamboree (which was basically rained out!) and were told about The Public House. I am thrilled a restaurant of that quality has opened! The area needs it! The whole experience was excellent! I had a latte to start and it was very good expresso and perfectly creamy. The pan seared Haddock was one of the best I have had and the lemon-dill aioli was perfect with it! The whole meal was very well seasoned and delicious. My husband had the Queso special and really enjoyed it! We got a piece of Coconut Cloud Cake to go and it was SO moist and light, a great end to the evening! We decided to go back this morning for breakfast which was very good, though not many breakfast items to choose from. There was a Farmer's Breakfast (which my husband had), a Breakfast Burrito (which I had), a Blueberry French Toast, and Eggs Benedict. There were a few lunch items too. The coffee was again excellent, the sausage had good flavor, but was quite dry, it would benefit from a bit more fat in the mix. The homefries were very good as was the Burrito, very well seasoned. The waitresses that took care of us were very knowledgeable and helpful. We had a great time and will go back when down home!

    Seafood Alfredo, Short rib
    Fiona S.

    Fantastic restaurant ,great chef I think it's one of the best in Maine . My husband Ordered the short rib and I had a phenomenal Seafood Alfredo, which is best I have ever had , lobster meat , big scallops, shrimps,and the crab meat all melted in the creamy sauce . Creamy but not heavy . I think it's excellent. I will be back for sure . The Bar area has great ambiance ,I get to try next time . The farm has great view of the river , like a painting . People told me the farm hold weddings in a newly build barn on their property. What a wonderful business.

    A refreshing, much needed gem in the heart of Machias! Well done cocktails, friendly staff, and an exquisite view of the rolling hills around the waterfront property. This place sits on a large stretch of field that also acts as a wedding venue, they even have a cafe down the road. They're truly creating a family of businesses that touch upon every need of the community!

    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!
