“The food looks delicious and that’s why we came here. However, when we arrived around 1:05 pm, the lady at the entrance was very rudy and told us we couldn’t dine in without being in the waiting list. It’s not what she said, it’s the way she said it.-Restaurant reached out to me in the nicest way and apologized for the situation about the host. I will be giving them a try soon as the food looks fantastic. Looking forward to it.“
“This place is great! I was in Portland for a few days and came for lunch. I sat at the bar and everyone was very friendly. I wanted a sweet liquor drink and my server pointed to a few on the menu for me to consider- I chose the Walking Dead!! The drink was amazing. I also ordered the fish sandwich with the Oreo cookie for dessert. Food is amazing.“
“I'm a local. I absolutely loved this place. Been away a while and was really happy to try some "new" place. Food- top , service- great', location-great. Price- reasonable- portions were super.Only negative was: a bit cold with spring and doors opening and being on the water. Oh.!!!..22$/2 hours parking on the pier nearby.“
“Duckfat has always and will always knock it out of the park. It's out top place to visit when we're in Portland. For first timers...the restaurant is very small with communal tables so it is very likely that as a small group you will be seated with others. The outdoor dining was available and we had the perfect day for it. The fries are the obvious choice here, but spring for the poutine with a duck egg on top. You won't regret it. I'm a sucker for a Cuban on any menu but THIS one is literally the best I've ever had and that was even without the pickles (I have an allergy ?). Worth noting that instead of the typical ham in the sandwich, they exchanged it for soppresatta. While that's not a typical go to for me, I trust in anything they make and it went together SO well. I can't wait to make it back already and it's only been a week.Parking: There is a very small lot for the building if you're lucky to find a spot. We got there within 30 mins of opening and a few were still open. There is also street parking and a couple nearby garages. Portland is a great walking city anyways so find any lot in/near Old Port and you can pretty much walk everywhere you want to go.“
“Of all the bakeries and coffee shops my husband and I tried on our trip to Portland, Tamdem was our favorite! The Americano was delicious and the salted coconut maple scone was one of the best I've ever had with the perfect crunchy texture on the outside and soft inside. I also tried the blood orange scone, which tasted a bit pithy to me. There was a line at 11:00 on a Saturday, but it moved quickly and there was plenty of seating outside.“
“My brother claims their pizzas to be one of the best and he has eaten a lot of pizzas. I totally agree with him. Even though we only ordered takeout, we relished every bite that we plan to come back, dine and enjoy the view.Vegetarian options: Salads and pizzas with vegan options.“
“Delicious ice cream and shakes, there's really not much more to say about this cute little ice cream shop. There was a line in front of us when we arrived but service was really quick and we had our ice cream within five minutes. Super cute, would come back!“
“My husband and I went out on a date night out of CT and had the opportunity to try out this gelato shop! Everyone there was very kind and friendly. It's a small shop but you can tell the gelato is fresh and made with the best ingredients! Everytime we go to Portland now we look forward to coming back here!“
“A lovely vibrant farm just 10 minutes from the maine mall. Cozy with delicious sandwiches, Mac n cheese, ice cream, and other goodies at very reasonable prices. The farm includes an assortment of animals including cows, sheep, emus, deer, chickens, deer, llama, pigs, and more! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about animal husbandry as well. An absolute gem and a must stop on your way through greater portland.“
“Sweetcream is a dream come true. They are the best, best, best in the area. I told my partner one day that I want pumpkin ice cream. I didn't know it could truly exist. A week or so later, lo and behold, Pumpkin Pie was a menu item at Sweetcream. My mind was read! The seasonal flavors are phenomenal: egg nog, gingerbread, cranberry... After some looong days at school, trusty Sweetcream is reliable and open late (as far as local spots go), so I will grab a cone, whether its 75 or 32 degrees out.“
“Bring your muscles. You'll need them for the door and the amount of food you'll inevitably get while here.Opened in 2019 closed for COVID and now back on the map!Easy to find parking is quick and seating is spacious.The food was incredible and service was great as expected for a small business in Maine.On my top 5 to eat places in this areaWheelchair accessibility: A little tight getting in also have someone hold the door for you. It's heavy.“
“Seating: ImmediateFirst dish arrival: 10 minutes, including all ordersI had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by the swift service and exceptional quality of the food. Right from the beginning, the waiting time was nonexistent; our lunch was served within a mere 10 minutes of ordering.The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the clam chowder. It was the thickest chowder I have ever savored, served at a perfect, steaming temperature. This dish alone would make me return.The fried calamari was crispy and flavorful, though a spicy mayo sauce on the side could potentially elevate this dish even further. The fried haddock followed suit, maintaining a delightful crispiness that was thoroughly enjoyable.While the prices were a tad high relative to the portion sizes, this is understandable given the restaurant’s prime location. Despite this, the overall experience was positive enough to warrant a return visit. This spot is definitely recommended for those who value quick service and quality seafood.“
“Ate here this past Saturday. Quite good :)I actually liked how cozy the interior was. Felt right-sized, and it was hella clean. There's a couple tables and a short bar inside, along with a few chairs outside.Service was chill and friendly. Fast without feeling hasty. Accurate without feeling fussy.Had a lobster roll picnic style with chips, preceded by a cup of clam chowder. Everything was terrific: flavorful, tender, at the right temperature. The slaw was cleverly hidden under the lobster.When I'm back in Portland, I'd be happy to eat here again :)“
“We bought soft shell medium live lobsters, they were 11.99 a pound today. They were extremely lively, fresh and delicious. Flesh was pretty firm and filled within the shells. The service staff was extremely helpful and explained size and hard shell vs soft shell to us. The shop was clean“
“Stopped in here for a couple drinks and was served by Ian. He was awesome and alone makes coming back worth it. They didn’t have a huge whiskey/whisky selection but the sister company he explained did. He even went over to grab a menu for us to look at. Atmosphere was great, bathrooms were crazy clean. Must stop by, can’t talk about the food, but getting Ian to serve you makes it worth it!“
“My husband has been wanting to check this place out forever and it was so worth the wait and drive from NH. We loved the outdoor seating, the beer was really great, and their smash burgers were really unbelievable. Our server was very sweet. We would return!“
“Hidden gem alert in So Portland! Kelly's is in the back corner of a strip mall, but is an amazing place for sandwiches, salads, and sweets! The salads are huge and filling. I had the chef salad which had rolls of turkey, ham, provolone cheese, and an egg along with fresh vegetables. I could only eat half and had to stop. Don't miss the sweets! Best molasses cookie I have had- crispy edge, buttery taste, and big enough to share (but why would you want to??) Kelly's also does breakfast sandwiches, and daily specials. Their only webpage is their Facebook page which will list the daily specials. Thursdays are apparently also flatbread day, and there were several freshly made flatbreads available for purchase. The cooler stocks take home food and quick salads/sandwiches with no wait. Highly recommend Kelly's for a yummy lunch!“
“Came here before a concert in winter at an off time and wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. Boyfriend loved the oyster menu. My salmon was great and they were very helpful with my food allergies.Dietary restrictions: Ask, they will accommodate you, our server had them change sauce on salmon and rice due to allergiesParking: Small side lot, also street parking near that, fine in winter, likely congested in peak season“
“A few days ago, my teenage son and I ate at Docks Seafood for a late lunch. We were thoroughly pleased with our entire experience and had to share!I ordered the haddock sandwich and fries. Yum! Yum! My son ordered the haddock nuggets and fries. We both loved our meals. Everything came out fresh, flavorful and hot. I ate every single thing on my plate. The piece of haddock was huge and served on a lightly toasted bun. It was pure bliss. Their homemade tarter sauce goes perfectly with their seafood. I just couldn't stop eating their french fries. They were perfectly salted.My son loved his haddock nuggets. It's always great to see him eat food that he loves. Our waitress was awesome and she was heavily rewarded for all her awesomeness.We can't wait to go back to Docks Seafood. We left with a baked item for dessert because we were too full from our meal to eat anymore. It was a whoopie pie. Soooo good!Also, the owner came to our table to talk to us and he was super sweet. ?Kid-friendliness: My two kiddos (ages 12 and 15) love the menu options. There's something for everyone.“
“Mainly Mozzarella Sandwich is excellent. Consistency with how much balsamic glaze and pesto is average. The Caesar salad dressing is thick and excellent. The salad lack leaves. I hate eating 80% stalk. I appreciate their environmental consciousness and commitment.“
“I got the jumokbap and the jajangmyeon— the jumokbap had some great textures and flavors (like a savory rice crispy treat with a runny yolk egg and spicy sauce base— yum). The jajangmyeon could have used some more seasoning— was a 6 out of 10 in terms of flavor— but the textures were good, the sauce wasn’t too much, and the presentation was appealing. My partner got the spicy cucumber dish and that was good too ($6). I like the overall atmosphere too— felt very community-esque when you first walked in.“
“Second time here and the food was as amazing as it was the first time. 4 stars for service bc you have to wait on yourself. Once you order (from the pretty rude) dude behind the counter, you pick up your food and drink, bus and clean your table. Definitely not a fan of this concept especially when paying over $20 for entree. Food and atmosphere spectacular so I'll come back. Note to rudedude: Hey, in the hospitality business, you need to be respectful and smile at the very least.“
“I love Buzz! So good, and used to go in multiple times a week before I moved away. My go to’s were the cold brew, dirty chai, cappuccino, or the mocha. Everyone who works there is so kind and the space is curated in a cozy way that makes you feel at home.“
“I'd been wanting to try their Portland branch while staying near Maine Medical but a blizzard stopped me. So today we went to the Saco location with friends and even this California food snob was impressed. Enchiladas were great, my Patacon(fried green plantain topped like a tostada) was delish and more than I could finish, guys liked their Lomo Saltidos. Only the tostones were not that good. Finally I can have good Central American Food in Maine!“
“Amazing staff!!!! The staff was very helpful and let us try caviar that was so good!!! We are also culinary students and really appreciated the information they shared about caviar. Honesty will have to be back again the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful keep it up guys!!“
“Great local brewery in Portland, love the friendly neighborhood feel here. Lots of open seating inside and out. Smaller bar inside with picnic tables. On nice days, the side wall opens up for more seating outside. Lot's of food trucks all lined up outside when we were there. Great options. Nice variety of beers on draft, they have flights available. I tried there machine, evergreen IPA and gold leaf. Very tasty and flavorful.“
