    If you stumble upon Eustis on your ATV and are starving, this is not a bad stop to grab a meal, or drinks with a large party. Rustic setting, large venue, outdoor seating, good service, fair amount of choices on the menu, food is merely OK though. None of the staff wore masks serving guests indoors, just seemed too early to leave all the covid safety precautions behind; guests may not have been vaccinated yet.

    HORRIBLE. We had to wait and hour and a half to be served. We left with wasted time and empty bellies. Messaged the owner and got blocked.

    We had a horrible experience here. To make a long story short: We were not served until 1 1/2 hours after arriving. Denied milk because it was frozen. Other beverages that were ordered took 20 min to arrive. When we FINALLY got food (90 minutes later), it was so dried out that I mistaked it for beef jerky. We left with nothing but wasted time and empty bellies. Upon messaging the owner on Facebook, I was blocked. I will never return and would never recommend to anyone else.

    Terrible experience. Awful prime rib, salad bar ran out of lettuce. Very slow service. Would not recommend this place.

    Maine-style barbecue. I never knew this was a thing, but it makes so much sense. Fat and protein do…read morewonders for the body and soul when you've put in a full day of skiing and/or it's 10 degrees F or less out. Not to mention there's plenty of maple wood to be had in Maine for smoking. I don't have much of a basis of comparison to other Maine-style bbq places, but what I tried of the The Rack's bbq was excellent by any standard. I'm not sure I detect a huge difference from, say, Eastern South Carolina style 'cue. In fact, the sauce that my ribs (half rack of ribs with mac 'n' cheese, baked beans, coleslaw and cornbread; $38) came with would feel right at home in Eastern SC: vinegary with a touch of heat. The ribs had a wonderful layer of bark and were moist, but not fatty. They were not heavily seasoned or salted, which many of those in the know prefer since the quality of the meat can shine through. It did, here. Of course I didn't snap a photo of my meal -- I was so excited to eat, I forgot! -- but it came with a generous portion of mac 'n' cheese (pleasantly cheesy, but undersalted by our standards), baked beans (very vinegary, made with onions that could've been cooked to a softer consistency, but were enjoyable in their own right), a mayonnaise-y coleslaw (fair), and a tiny square of cornbread. The cornbread was southern style to my surprise and delight, not the fluffy, sweet, cake-like version usually passed off as cornbread in the north. I loved the slightly spicy, slightly sweet pickles that accompanied, as well. The Pardner had the kimchi beef short rib (shredded beef short rib in a kimchi beef broth served over seared sticky rice with chef's vegetable of the day, pickled carrots and daikon, hoisin bbq sauce, Korean bbq sauce, fried garlic, scallions and cilantro; $38). He mostly enjoyed the dish, but I found the texture of the seared sticky rice too hard and chewy, personally. There was more sweetness and less spice in the bowl than I personally prefer and would expect from the name. The vegetable of our day was broccoli, cooked crisp. One of my progeny had the smoked brisket sando ($26). I didn't try the sandwich, since it was inhaled in seconds, but I deduce it was good. The fries I snagged were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside -- great! The other progeny had a L'il Rippers (children's menu) grilled cheese with fries ($12). She enjoyed it, but evidently not as much as my mac 'n' cheese, ribs, and cornbread, which she heavily poached. There are many good local beers on tap, from clean taps based on what we tried. There's a hand-written menu in the back room by the pool table, which listed $5 specials. This restaurant, partly owned by Olympic snowboarder Scott Wescott (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seth_Wescott), is clearly very popular. (There was a 20 minute wait on a Friday evening, even on the dregs of the Sugarloaf ski season.) I think it probably draws Carrabassett Valley Academy students, families, and staff, given that this well-known ski and snowboard school is just a short walk away. Customers are a great mix of teenagers and young adults, old people, families, Mainers and tourists -- and everyone seems to have a good time. The pool table, dart boards, and arcade are fun for kids of all ages. We were given a compostable (non-waxed) cardboard box for leftovers. Appreciate the planet-friendly approach. The bartender in the back room was great -- so nice and helpful. Wait staff were nice, but no-nonsense in that extremely competent Mainer sort of way. It's easy to see why The Rack is popular.

    The Rack has always been the best Apres Ski bar in the east, serving up amazing live music and…read moredrinks that will have you struggling to make first chair. But in the past 2-3 years, their food game has gotten a complete make-over for the better. Our family's go-to is the Mexican Corn Street Nachos, add chicken, but recently we branched out more and let me tell you...it has not disappointed! Most recently, I had the Hot Pastrami Reuben (but had them remove the spicy components because #heartburn) and WOW, that was one of the best reubens I've ever had. not only that, but the pastrami itself was some of the best tasting pastrami ever. So juicy, flavorful, and not overly fatty. The BBQ is also phenominal. Maybe the post-skiing hunger and good beer selection makes me biased but hey....it really is good!

    This was the first place we eat out at on vacation. They are closed on Monday as many other places…read moreto eat in town. ( I say many but there is only 4 restaurants in the town) This place is more like a sports bar, serving pub food. But they do have dinner specials daily also. I was reading the special board and I saw a swordfish dish. Also on the special board was chicken parm, so I knew what my wife was getting. So I ordered the swordfish entree. Other dishes ordered at the table was 2 chicken parms and a fried fish and seafood platter. I think someone order a corn chowder for a app also. Dinners came out and they looked good. I ordered the healthiest plate at the table...I guess that means more Shipyard exports for this guy...HA HA. Getting back to the dinners I was eating my fish and got the the middle of it and it was cold, which meant it was raw. This is exactly why I tend NOT to order fish out, whether it being a freshness issue or people just don't know how to cook it properly. I alerted the waitress and she took the whole plate from me, sort of wish she left my baked potatoe so I had something to eat. As I was waiting for my dish to come back my dinner guest didn't care too much for their food. In fact this was the first time my wife didn't like chicken parm. The seafood fried platter was probably the best thing on the table BUT it definitely wasn't fresh seafood, it was all frozen syscos products. So the waitress brings my dish back and it was the same piece of fish that I was eating , along with the same baked potato, the cook just put it back on the grill. REALLY? You really can't give me a whole new meal? I didn't bother eating it and figured she took it off the bill. Well... she didn't, I didn't raise a stink because I figured I am on vacation and I just won't bother coming back here. But common sense the waitress should have offered me something else or take the meal off the bill. She did neither..oh well, far better places to eat at in Jackman Maine. Go to the Steak house or Mama Bears of you want a good meal.

    Food was okay but the service is horrible. Went there twice…read moreand both times the orders we messed up and we waited at least an hour for our meals. So we went back to schmooses after our horrific waitress experience at Four Seasons and this experience was worse than our other 2 visits this year. We walk in and the place was half full and this overwhelmed waitress tells us that it will be at least an hour before we get served. Well after 70 minutes or so our chips and salsa were finally served. Our dinning experience lasted about 2 1/2 hours. There are major management problems in most of the area restaurants. The only restaurant in Jackman that is actually ran properly is Bishop's and their not really even a restaurant. We know that there isn't much going on in Jackman during the off months but I can only recommend that the business owners visit real restaurants outside of Jackman or they won't be business owners much longer.

Being winter, we ate inside this time! As always, and as mentioned in the first review, I had to find something different to try, as I cook a lot of breakfasts for myself at home. I settled on the corned beef hash, made in house, with the home fries, eggs and toast. The hash was excellent, as were the home fries and rye toast. The eggs were scrambled well enough, I suppose, but they seemed bland. Maybe I should have asked for a little salsa! The coffee was just okay considering they were advertising the Carrabassett brand they used. My wife ordered the avocado scramble, which also came with eggs and home fries, and she added bacon on the side. Unlike ravenous me, she had to take her eggs home. I can't forget to mention the server (Maggie?) who was friendly, chatty and took great care of us. I recommend Vittles even for breakfast, but I will repeat what I said in the other review: I want to get back there for lunch or dinner!
