“Exceptional lunch! Had the beautifully flavorful brown butter lobster roll, the special smoked smelt smørrebrød, and a whoopie pie. Everything was delicious and well-made. The smørrebrød tasted spot on to versions I’ve had in Copenhagen, it was a serious treat.“
“This is a really nice place with really great food, and the staff is so welcoming it just creates an astonishingly enjoyable atmosphere. Would give ten stars per category if I could. Drove up all the way from Texas just for lobster and this place did not dissappoint! Definitely worth the visit.“
“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.“
“You go here for the fries, you get the fries, you enjoy the fries. It is a worthwhile trip to Portland after visiting Duckfat, which despite its small interior, provides a soothing (and flavorful) relief after travel. The service is exemplary, as each employee is truly friendly (and can provide their opinions on the sauces to dip your fries in).“
“Great brewery! We stopped in on the way to the airport. A lot of IPAs and hoppy beers (not our thing) but we still found yummy beers. Taproom is outside in a heated tent and they have little tent/cubbies with their own heaters. I would love to drink beers here on a random day when it is dumping outside.Lots of merch. Good Food truck. Kids loved grilled cheese, burger. Hook/string game outside. Super friendly staff at the bar and merch area.Would love to come back on our next trip to Maine!“
“Foundation Brewing is a fantastic delight. We had the opportunity to meet one of the four owners tonight and she was so friendly. Tina runs the tasting room, if you see her while you're enjoying the beer or pizza... make sure to ask her some questions about her hometown (Detroit, MI) or how Foundation Brewing came to be a local micro-brew.The pizza is a light, fluffy and crunchy exploration in all the best ways you could imagine. I think this brewery is getting the absolute most out of what space they have to work with and their staff is so friendly/helpful/patient. I'm committing myself to returning over and over and being (hopefully) a regular :)10/10 would recommend to anybody in and around the Portland/Westbrook city line.“
“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.“
“This was the final spot on our trip before we separated from our Boston friends after an awesome October weekend and they headed home. So glad this could be the last experience together, as it was a relaxing, inviting bar experience. The bartender/owner was super chill and the beers/cocktails we tried were all excellent. The vibes were perfect - had a great time.“
“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!“
“Root Wild Kombucha is filling a hole in our hearts left by Urban Farm. Their kombuchas are light and complex, more refreshing than funky (for the most part). They have both 1% and 4.5% kombuchas, and a few beers on tap. The atmosphere was inviting and friendly, and the staff was knowledgeable and engaging.“
“My husband Erik and I were married at Oxbow Beer Garden in Oxford and are nothing but impressed with the food/beverage, event execution and warm hospitality that was provided. We highly recommend hosting an event with Oxbow and/or visiting the beer garden for delicious pizza/beverages provided by their awesome staff!“
“OMG dog friendly;!!!!!!!! I had the pulled pork and it was very. Tasty but needed a little more sauce and more of the onions. Don't forget the delicious Cole slaw. Don't get me wrong we will be back for more food and DARK BEER!!!!!“
“I have always loved the Bite Into Maine food truck at the light house. I was so excited to go to this location! I tried the 3 flavors mini lobster rolls this time! Yummy and fresh as always!! The staff were nice and friendly! I ordered online and pick up in store. The process was smooth and easy!“
“We received a recommendation from a local to stop by and check this place out. Great stop in a sea of breweries that are all right next to each other. The bartender was very helpful with picking from the large list of option with each new pour being great! The vibe was really chill and if we lived a little closer I know that this would be a spot on our weekly brew tour. Like I mentioned this craft house is in a spot with a handful of other breweries. Make sure that you take time to visit from IPAs to Sours you will not leave disappointed.“
“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.“

Rum is any spirit made from a sugar cane plant which makes is very versatile. Three of Strong uses all organic ingredients that include sugar cane, molasses, slow fermenting yeast and locally sourced water. They do not use any artificial flavors or colors.I enjoyed the tour and of the distillery and learned about the process for making rum.After their tasting session, I found their spiced rum to be one of the best I have ever had. It was smooth and the delivered very flavorful finish when drinking it straight.If you are in Portland, ME, make sure you stop in or visit by going on the “Best of Portland Brewery and Spirits Bus” Tour.“
“Another great brewery in Portland. They don't have flights which I don't love but you can get small pours of all their beers. They have some wine options as well if you aren't into beer. They serve some snacks but typically have a food truck on site. I'm not a huge beer fan but when they have a sour I typically get it. Large inside and outside seating area, which is great for big groups. They also have corn hole. A fun brewery to stop at, with lots of parking out back as well.“
“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!“
“Wow. This place is absolutely wonderful. Went here for the first time ever on a date with my boyfriend. The food was so delicious and seasoned to perfection. The dessert we got was divine and the service was excellent. This is a great place to go on a little fancy dinner with your partner or to have a celebratory dinner. And the drinks are made so delicious.We got lucky and actually had a table available Saturday night, but it was packed for the most part. 11/10 will go here again.“
“Got some takeout from here last night. Ordered a variety of dishes to see how things tasted and to offer my 2 teen kids a few options. It was all fantastic! Ordered the chicken shawarma and beef shawarma sandwiches, gyro sandwich, lamb shank plate, beef shawarma salad, and baklava. They included a bowl of smooth tasty lentil curry on the house. I tasted everything. It was all fantastic. I was particularly surprised on how good the lamb shank was and the large portion they gave, as well as how many tomatoes they put in the salad. The lamb shank was on the bone,not shredded. All of the vegetables were fresh and crisp. Everything well seasoned. Their prices are really fair in my opinion. I’m going back soon. I have to try their falafel and hummus.“
“Fun and extensive vegan ice cream menu. The ice cream itself could've been better, they have several creative flavors but they all kind of taste the same (I suspect it's the flavor of dates which I'm guessing is used to sweeten some of them, but it just gives all the flavors a similar sharp cloying, slightly salty taste), and the texture isn't very creamy. If you do go I'd recommend just getting the ice cream and not any toppings because the toppings push it into too sweet territory and detract from the flavors.“
“The jams! You can reel me in with good music and you did...plus amazing beers! Amazing place to hang out, relax and they have food/snacks too. We did a flight to check out what they had to offer, and they did not disappoint! Great place to come to and they have some scheduler entertainment as well! Great service and staff who will recommend some great beers!“
“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“
“Just found out about these guys and I'm super bummed to be seeing it go! I hope they still make their drinks in some way for people to buy because there's nothing quite like that around. Delicious and intriguing flavors, and plenty for those who don't drink alcohol as well.“
“Vibes, drinks, music: all immaculate. Got the forgotten paradise cocktail and it was perfect. Very nice little space, great lighting, super friendly bartenders. Felt safe going there alone and had a nice chat with some strangers. Will definitely be back. Thanks for being here for the queers!“
“Wandered here for lunch and was greeted by a cozy, dimly lit dining room with only a few people in it, but with a buzzing, friendly energy. Our server was lovely and happily shared the dishes she enjoyed with us. My friend ordered a lobster roll and I ordered a big bowl of clam chowder, along with a root beer and a bright red mocktail.As much as it was hyped, the food felt a bit under-seasoned, and I struggled to taste much fishiness from my soup or my friend’s roll. The chips and pickle served with the roll were really good, as were the drinks.I would come here again during a warmer month & take advantage of the patio outside. I’d also come mentally prepared for the $75 bill at the end- not unjustified on their part, just a bit on the pricey end.Overall, would recommend!“
“Bird and Co recently catered a private event for us and they absolutely crushed it. They were so helpful, kind, patient, communicative, timely and prepared. Everyone loved the food and it was both high quality and affordable. We can’t thank them enough and we would highly recommend them to cater any event.Dietary restrictions: They accommodated us with gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options.“
“Fantastic spot. Check their Instagram for soccer matches they’re showing because google has them opening in the afternoon, but depending on the matches they’ll open earlier to show them.Great vibes with an awesome outdoor space that’s large and a fun atmospheric shed type viewing space with tvs and volume on.“
“Without a doubt, this food truck located on the Eastern Promenade has become our absolute favorite. It is our go-to place for a delightful Saturday afternoon lunch. The falafel they serve is simply exceptional—crispy and golden on the outside, while being light and incredibly fluffy on the inside. Each wrap is a harmonious symphony of flavors that never fails to impress us.The soft, pillowy pita bread they bake adds a delightful touch, perfectly complemented by the creamy and velvety hummus. What truly elevates the experience are the vibrant and crunchy fresh veggies that provide a burst of freshness with every bite.The portion sizes are remarkably generous, and if you're feeling especially hungry, don't miss out on their fries—they're a worthy addition to your meal. And to take it to the next level of deliciousness, we highly recommend trying one of their flavorful sauces.Beyond the phenomenal food, the stunning views of Casco Bay make the whole experience even more memorable. There's something magical about enjoying a scrumptious falafel while being surrounded by such breathtaking scenery. If you're in the area, grab a picnic bench and make it a point to visit. You won't be disappointed!“
“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.“
