Reviews:
Atmosphere: This is a nice little bar/restaurant; nicely done and clean. Not particularly noisy. Menu: Very good menu with something for everyone. Seafood, steak, pasta, salads, meatloaf, hamburger, etc. Beer prices: Draft between $5 and $7, about normal for restaurants in this area. Food prices: The food prices are about average for a decent restaurant. This is not a real fancy place but not super casual either. Server: Our server was friendly and helpful. She seemed efficient and was available as needed but not intrusive. Food: The food was very good, some of the best we have had on this trip (over a month so far). We both ate something not on most menus, chicken cordon blue and french dip panini and both were great. Overall a very nice place and if we lived in the area would be a favorite.
My wife and I stopped in here for lunch on our drive up to Bangor. From the outside it doesn't look like much, nor from the inside. But the food was exceptional and the service very good. My wife had a reuben, which she said was one of the best she had ever had. Lots of lean corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, and dressing on thick slabs of homemade marble rye toast. I had the pulled pork sandwich, which was served on a brioche bun open faced, with lots of pork plus lettuce, tomato, onions and pickle. The sauce was not as tangy as I like and the meat was so hot I wondered if it had possibly been microwaved, but it was tender and tasty. Both sandwiches were served with "hand cut" french fries that were done just right and lightly seasoned. I'd definitely return the next time I was through the area.
I recently moved back to the area and stopped in here for dinner last night with my boyfriend on a whim. I'd been here a few years back when it was Grill 233, and was less than impressed, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The food was great- everything we ordered was tasty and came in decent sized portions (French onion soup, Italian cheese fries, mushroom ravioli dinner with ribs [special], chicken cordon bleu with garlic mashed potatoes and spinach, brownie pecan parfait with sea salt gelato (amazing!), and root beer float. It also came out quickly and was nice and hot. The waitstaff was friendly and very attentive. Though we weren't really sure what they were going for with the decor the meal and service were awesome and we plan on returning to Grill 233 sometime soon, maybe for brunch today!
