This is one of the few places in Maine that has very tasty and unique dishes, However, the food took a long time to get to our table.

My husband and I stopped by to try out their beers. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any Pilsner options on tap, which was the main reason we came in. We ordered a beer flight and their Smashing Pumpkin beer, and it was pretty good! Service was friendly and attentive. The only downside is that it’s not pet friendly, so we had to leave our dog in the car. Overall, a decent experience.

Nice place! Lots of room. We say outside on a beautiful day. They have a heater run above the tables that work great when it's cool. The beer was great and the burgers were amazing! Go check this place out!

This was a fabulous spot. We sat at the bar and the bartender was amazing, so attentive. The hatch chile burger was the best we’ve ever had, also had the hillbilly hot dog. Fantastic! Beer was delicious too!

My wife and I popped in here on our way to Acadia National Park and it was a pleasant surprise! The restaurant is right on the river so you have a gorgeous view as well as access to the riverfront park. The first time we came, it was pretty cold, wet, and dreary outside and it was still such a nice view.
Service was efficient! As soon as we walked in, we were seated outside and were able to order a couple beers while we decided what to get for food. Both of the beers we got were sours or sour-adjacent and both were good!
For food, we started off with just a side of fries with the dirty seasoning (not the dirty fries on the menu, I believe these are new since we were there). The fries were just okay. They were very dark and not crispy so that leads me to believe that maybe they use peanut oil for frying? Not sure but they weren't the best. They needed a lot of salt as well. The sauces we ordered for dipping were the Bacon Blue Cheese, Liquid Gold BBQ and Black Garlic Ranch. All but the Gold were really tasty! The gold just tasted like honey mustard which is not what we wanted. We expected tang like a gold should be.
We also ordered burgers; the Sweet Hot Mess and the Butter Burger. Both were delicious but the Butter Burger was better. It was soooo buttery. Spot on! For sides, we got the Hoisin Sprouts and the Pork Cracklins with salt and vinegar seasoning. The sprouts were too sweet and not spicy enough for my liking. The cracklins....now THOSE are something to write home about. And in fact, I did say in the beginning that we came here more than once. And that was because of these cracklins. We stopped back in on the way back to the airport and best believe we took these babies back home to FL with us. Had the best post-travel snack on the couch!!
If we find ourselves in Brewer/Bangor again, we'll make a point to stop into Mason's!

Stopped at Mason’s on our way out of town and had the best experience! All of our food and drinks were top-notch and our server Sierra was the absolute BEST! Highly recommend stopping by and request Sierra!!

We were killing some time before our flight and stumbled upon Mason’s. We had Sierra taking care of us and she was absolutely incredible! Gave us the best recommendations and made our last stop in Maine memorable! The food and drinks were all so great, highly recommend!!
Butter burger was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had and the sweet potato fries were delicious too. Beer and views of the river were great! Friendly waitress named Bella.

we waited an hour and a half before they brought out our food and our meals were room temp by the time they got to us.

Food is a 5...mmmm, DELISH! Wouldve tipped only the cook if possible tho, because.... First of all yes Fri night & we only a party of 2, but it was well staffed, quick seating, beers came, orders but then.... Dunno if the waitress just blocked us out or.... Service is a 2 and not even an apology, explanation or even a check up until 40min later we finally had to stop someone and ask whats up. We'd been watching after about 20min or so cuz biz was at least down 25% from when we walked in. 🤦♂️ We were seated quickly, ordered, the "snack" came in good time and then it's like we were invisible in spite of the staff having to pass us everytime they came in n out of the area. Finally my Dad spoke up and had to ask if we were inviisble, did they forget out order, did they even put the order in...? We ordered burgers, on the menu, no special requests, as is. It was NOT nearly as busy at this point as when we walked in yet people that came in after us appeared to have no issues with timely service. Not even an apology, a "let me check" a refill... nothing! Being attentive after taking an order apparently isnt a thing. And we were considering another beer and dessert but they lost that oppty quickly once we hit the 30min waiting mark with literally no attention at all. We were ready to get up, pay for the 2 beers n cheesy bread we had and bolt to McDs if need be. Really sad for what seems like a cool place to hang. And being it's in an area with many out of towners and locals coming and they just cant be bothered. Def will not recommend or go back in spite of the good food. Will let our hotel know to maybe drop this recommendation a while.

I love it the pulled pork steak chicken pizza it’s fantastic. I wish everybody to get it.

They gave me the wrong drink twice and charged me more then a fair price for what I didn't ask for. I tried to get straightened out but they said it was fair. Lol.
The food is excellent!
