This was one of the better smaller local restaurants we stopped at during our Maine route 1 trip in…read morethe northern part of the state. Overall, in the more northern/more rural areas service was more relaxed and slower. The food was also just more average. Compared to some other spots Fort Kent had a decent amount of options and this was the spot we settled on. It was by no means busy during this time of the year and like similar places service was decent, food did come out quickly and our order was taken at a good pace also. The attentiveness was just less than I typically expect especially considering it was not that busy. This place looks like what you would expect from a rural Maine spot and fitting along with the name they have antler chandeliers. Also, an emphasis on wood to give that rustic feel. On to the food; they have a good variety that would make even picky eaters feel like they have options. A huge number of appetizers then salads, burgers, seafood, sandwiches, and desserts. My wife got a bowl of French onion soup and a taco salad while I got their chicken finger luncheon with fries. The taco salad had a great taco seasoning on the meat and the chips tasted fresh. Chicken fingers were tasty with a delicious batter but were surprisingly small. Decent food at decent prices just not any bites I would need to return for. For the area its in, solid but compared to less rural areas I don't think it would stand up.

What I saw was a team that seamlessly worked together to make their customers feel seen and appreciated. It was like I watched an interpretive dance. If the bartender needed (for whatever reason) to step away from the bar, another employee filled her place. I even saw one employee asking the current bartender to teach her how to make a certain drink. I had the cheese curds, and they were so good that I asked for a to-go so I could share it with my family. Someone from the kitchen brought out my order. I said, "Please tell the chef that these are so good that they could be addictive." He smiled and said, "Thank you. I'm the chef." What I learned is that if I have a few sips of beer left in my glass, that's the time to let my server that I want another and perhaps the check (if that's the case).

Our waitress was knowledgeable and give us some good ideas. Water was good and so the selections were mostly typical.

They were very good at dipping sauce tasted great. I ordered a salad, which was OK and pork filled a bao buns which were very tasty and barbecue juice sauce is not too spicy not too sugary. The whole sauce was very good on the bottom. Just wish it was a bit more. Make sure you have that napkins cause it does leak juice. My Son had the fish and chips. The fish was really well done they say crunchy a good portion of fish. Fries were good too.
