Wait was ridiculous, food was worse! 4 tables of people and 5 people at the bar, hostess, and 3-4 server and a bartender. A 10 min wait for a table, 60 min wait for food. Many of what was offered on the menu was a big “no” from the server. Server’s fingernails were dirty and she was consistently coughing while talking to patrons and also while holding plates of food. The food was mediocre at best. Grilled chicken was undercooked, salad dressing was tasteless, iced tea tasted like bad water. Staff person digging through a utility closet in the dining room, sorting thru vacuums and mops while people were eating. WTH!?! Not recommended.

We go every year when we rent a pontoon boat in Naples. Everytime we are blown away with the quality and speed of the kitchen and our waitstaff. Never had anything less than a stellar experience here.

This is the second time we have walked out and left campfire. Long time resident of Bridgton. Used to love it here, even at the old building. Food is usually good BUT Covid killed the service industry and this one has not recovered. Never enough staff. Chairs are old and two of us together barely fit in the booths. Whole second side of the restaurant is always closed. Before you come at me we go out A LOT and sit in a lot of chairs and booths. Most suck and are uncomfortable these are worse. Hard wooden benches with backs at the worst frigging angle. Older people cannot bend like that and a good percent of the population is overweight. Tonight they were updating their computer system. Nice sign on the door. Informative. Update the damn tables and chairs. Food is so expensive everywhere. No longer going to support bad service and lazy owners.

Family friendly. Plenty of parking. Menu is quite large. The food was ok. The drinks were ok. Our waitress was ok. Everything was just kind of ok. Nothing really to write home about.

We had dinner with 9 people last night. It was great. The waitress worked really hard to please everyone.

Wonderful place to have lunch or dinner. Sit at the bar if you're by yourself and pretty soon you will make some new friends...if you enjoy chatting with strangers. If you would rather be left alone there are several small tables to enjoy your meal by yourself. The Bar staff is extremely friendly and helpful letting you know what's good to drink if you're looking for something new. Table service for the restaurant is just as amazing with tentative wait staff. The overall atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable. The food was great. The steak was cooked to perfection and the flavor was amazing. The choices of menu items made it hard to decide because they all sounded so tasty and everything coming out of the kitchen to other tables looked wonderful. Prices are very comparable to other restaurants, the food quality and quantity are extremely impressive, very clean throughout, wonderful staff, and an abundance of parking. The bathrooms were clean and well-stocked. I would recommend calling ahead for dinner since it can get busy fast, especially during certain times of the year. I've been several times now and wait time varies. Sometimes you can walk right in while other times we've had to wait 45 minutes. After checking their website they also have special things they do such as trivia night. Make reservations for a large group or stop by and grab a seat at the bar. Either way, I don't think you will be disappointed.

The app was the best food of the night .Bear bites . I ordered a hot roast beef that turned out to be a steak and cheese which was disappointing to say the least black and dry . My guest enjoyed the steak tips . Both meals the meat was black. . Mine was dry . The corn bread muffin top was dry both were to come with maple butter. One was plain butter . Last time I was here bread and butter was part of the meal. I asked for a lemonade and got pink lemonade . One stall in the ladies room was left open but non operational and the door was broke . The place is busy but it really needs a good cleaning . Waitress was super nice ! Nice local Maine wildlife artist , art on display .

We started with the raccoon snacks and drinks, both hitting the spot. I got the special mix grill and was absolutely fantastic. The meat was cooked just right and tender, and the temperature came out how I desired. The server was a nice lady with a big smile. The ice cream whoopie pie was so good and a big portion of it, we were barely able to finish it.
The server was amazing , the food was spectacular . I will definitely return !

We decided to try this place after many years of thinking about it. This was a mistake. The burger was under cooked, lacked flavor and was poor quality meat. This place is not a restaurant it's a bar that serves food. And not very good food at that. The salad was wilted and full of brown lettuce. It was worse than the burger. My recommendation is go to the bar (which seems to very popular) drink heavy and then order food. I would imagine if your half light the food is good. My family and I will not be returning. I recommend you go into town and eat at the black horse tavern. Much better food and better prices.
