Best KPortal Reviews
For me, the laid-back, calm outside atmosphere reminds me why I love Maine. I had an amazing haddock sandwich overloaded with beautiful, flaky fish- I even took some home! Crispy fries, and excellent service, too. Great hidden gem! I will be back.
Great casual place to eat or grab a drink. It’s right on the water so there’s plenty of views whether you’re just looking to catch up with an old friend or just unwind after a long day.
Food was good, seating is nice with a great view. Oysters were fantastic and a good beer selection. Clam chowder was not the best I have had for being on the coast of Maine.
Beautiful setting at the head of the inlet. The food was worth the wait. The sunset was a bonus.
Last summer I went here and was treated like royalty as my previous review stated, which is why we went back. Now I realize we are in the middle of COVID-19 and things have changed, but the things that have changed have nothing to do with COVID. First of all we were greeted by a hostess who couldn't even look us in the eyes. Plopped down at a bar table because we didn't have reservations, and the bartender took our order, yet it didn't matter because everyone else got their food before us.(Our wait for our food was one hour) Our drinks were never filled back up, within that hour of waiting, and we were thirsty...was thinking about ordering a real drink after my ginger ale, but the bartender NEVER came back. When I went up to pay the bill, he apologized and said that the place was just very busy. I should have taken pictures of the empty tables around him, but I did not. I will not go back. This place has changed for the worse. Let the rich folk pay their prices...and eat their cold clams, not me!
Great spot right by the water. Old school and charming. Clam chowder was very nice, not overly thickened. Steamers were great, followed by very well made fish and chips. Great beer on tap (like everywhere in Maine...)
So, It is beginning of tourist seasons. I get that we’re local. Waitress’ were very pushy. I don’t do seafood, ordered fries and corn. They were two day drop in the fryer atleast. Chowder is watery to the max. On the great side oysters were okay.
Sit on the pier in Thomaston harbor. Watch the boats and sunset. Burgers, oysters, mussels, clams, local root beer and a full bar too. Service is friendly and the vibe is casual and fun. The evening we visited, the crowd was mostly families and neighborhood friends enjoying the end of a great summer day. Prices are reasonable and portions generous. We had steamed mussels, fried clams and chowdah. All were very good. The outside location is the star here.
