My husband had the 6 inch ribs with baked beans and potato salad. I had the smoked chicken with baked beans and mac n cheese. DELISH! We each had an ample piece of corn bread that comes with each meal. My hubby said his ribs were the most tender he has ever had. The meat fell right off the bone. After dinner, Brook brought us a sample of their chocolate mud pie to taste! Such a lovely gesture and outstanding customer service. We will be back! Thank you for a wonderful tasty meal.

It was crispy, perfectly sized pieces, very flavorful (I think it was teriyaki) and the portion was generous. We had the pizza special of the day (elote) with vegan cheese and it was decent. The breaded cauliflower app would have been better with some salt/flavoring in the breading and the brussel sprouts had great flavor and texture but they burnt them a bit and it took away from making them a 10/10. The environment was a little loud but the view of the river was nice and the server was pleasant even if a little busy and absent at times.

Quick note: a popular place like this will have some longer times for the food, it would be helpful to be given a heads up that it will take a little longer to get the food.

As a Mainer who spent years in Texas, I've eaten enough BBQ to be a little skeptical whenever…read moresomeone claims to have "real Texas BBQ." This place didn't just meet the standard, it raised it. We ordered the pulled pork, sausage, chili, and corn on the cob, and every bite was phenomenal. When I complimented the owners, they kindly brought over a rib for me to try. Up until that moment, I would've bet good money that I didn't like ribs. Turns out I just hadn't met the right rib. The food was incredible, but the owners were even better. Genuine, welcoming, salt-of-the-earth people who make you feel less like a customer and more like a guest at their table. Finding BBQ this good in Maine feels like spotting a longhorn in a moose yard. If you're anywhere near the Moosehead Lake region, make the trip. Just be warned: this place may ruin other BBQ for you!

And after the flight at Mason's earlier, then a pint and the lobster roll dish here, my sweet tooth kicked in and a nice ice cream sundae took care of that. Nice spot for sure!

Plenty of room for our kids to play around (there was basketball court outside). Staff was friendly and their food menu had many options! My husband and I both enjoyed our beverages. He got the Tubular IPA and I started off with a mimosa ($6 mimosas on the Sunday we went!) and also wanted to try the Fruitsecco (their sour with prosecco). We grabbed our kids a kick bite and decided on the Bang Bang Chicken Sliders. I was able to steal a couple bites and they were delicious! Will definitely want to come back and try more off the food menu!

We went here for an early dinner on our 48 marriage anniversary (yeah, I know; we can't believe it…read moreeither). We were told to seat. Ourselves, and as it was a great day, we sat outside, which is undercover. I saw they had Guinness, but as it turned out only in cans, so I settled for water. The first time we try a new place that has whole belly clams, I tend to get them, but in this case I was determined to try something different.so i ordered the veggie kebabs and add shrimp to the order for some protein. It was excellent with a subtle Smokey taste Beth's peppers, onions, mushrooms and zucchini cooked just right: not too soft or too crisp. I had excellent mashed potato with real flavor as one side, and the best onion rings I have had in a long time for the second side. My wife had the bomb.com steak sandwich and the sample I tasted proved it to be good also. The chopped steak wasn't chewy as it often seems to be in sandwiches. She had a side of mac and cheese which was a rather unique curly pasta rather than just a small macaroni. It also came with a small serving of cole slaw. I wanted to have the basic sundae for dessert, my wife disapproved I of their using mere Hershey chocolate syrup and vowed she would make us better sundaes here at home. So we had fried ice cream instead. We shared one and it was fine, but not destined to be a favorite of mine. Still. I know we will go back to Chew 62 at some point. It was that good.

We saw that Chew 62 was .1 miles away so headed over there. When walking in, there was no one there and I questioned if it was actually open but thankfully it was! The ambiance is a bit odd, but I bet it's better when the place is busier. We each got a hamburger- they are very big patties but really good and super juicy. I got onion rings and they were homemade!! And well-seasoned. I would definitely get those, though I saw the fries were also fresh-cut too. I would definitely go back.
