Calimari is delicious, Winona Scallops very tasty. The waitress was friendly and efficient. It was our first visit and we will be coming back again

The food and service was excellent. I found the music to be a bit loud but fine for a bar on Saturday night.

It was a great place, with nice staff and a great indoor ambiance. The food tasted great, with a wide variety of options and the menu was clearly listed. My only critique is that the outdoor decorations were not very good. They were extravengantly bright and unpleasant. Other than that, I recommend this place for a nice dinner!

Really liked the atmosphere of this place and the decor! We went on a Friday night around 640pm and made a reservation through the website provided and so glad we did! When we arrived they took my name and sat us quickly. We got our appetizers very quickly as well! Loved the onion strings and the pretzel bites were good! When it came to getting our entrees it took probably a half hour and we saw others seated after us getting their food before us even though we ordered before them. My bf got the steak tips and they were okay I got the Mac and cheese and that was just okay as well. You can tell it’s just pasta with poured cheese on it, it’s not baked. The chicken in the mac was also a bit over cooked and all the cheese was at the bottom. Corn bread was a little dry but the maple butter was so delicious! Loved their Halloween decor as well especially over in the bar section but we ate in the dining room. Overall a decent experience!

Our food was luke warm. That's super frustrating because of how expensive it is to eat out. I know they can do better. I've eaten here many times before and it's been good. Not so much last evening.

First time here and the initial impression was positive. Lovely, professional, FOH manager and host. We had a short wait on a busy saturday night. The food was okay. We both really liked our burgers but I would give a little advice to the kitchen staff if they want to improve a few things. The BLT dip came with chips that were lacking salt and were stale like the bag had been left open for awhile. The dip itself was good but this app was not worth what we paid. The French fries were also cold and overcooked like they just kept tossing old fries back in to the fryer to briefly warm them up- cooking all the potato out and making them hard. Our server was very pleasant until the end. Things just got wierd. I do understand she was busy with her two big parties that were sat directly after us but it felt as if all of her attention went to them and she didn't care about our table anymore because our tip wouldn't matter compared to the big party. We also ordered a side of Sriracha mayo on one of the burgers and it didn't come out with it. She didn't come to check on us until the burger was nearly gone so we informed her and her reaction was just weird. Not an apology or really anything. She just made a weird face and walked away to her other table. She came back with our check and didn't remove it from the bill. I'm not sure if she just forgot because she was too busy or if she just didn't believe when we told her that the kitchen forgot the sauce. Like I said, her reaction when we informed her was just weird. Overall, everyone here was working very hard and the burgers were amazing but I do think that there is some room for improvement for both FOH and BOH.
Went for the 1st time last Tuesday 9-16. Had a 30min wait which I understand, they were short staffed. It took a min for the waitress to get over and get drink order as she was running crazy, ok with that. As the place started to empty (730ish) finally got our food, order ribs, and steak tips. The ribs were so cold, you can tell they took them from the refrigerator and tried to microwave them and sauce them, vegetables were hard like not even steamed. The steak tips were the same way, plate was really hot tips were ice cold. When brought to the waitress attention she apologized (not her fault) she went to get a manager, they never showed up, instead he told the waitress to offer us a free ice cream Sunday to make up for the issues. It’s sad that your manage can’t even come and talk to a customer when there’s an issue.

I have dined in multiple times and this is a favorite local spot. When I called to place a takeout order though, I was told the kitchen was too busy and they weren’t taking any pick up orders. Never in my life have I heard of a place denying a pick up order - what an awful business practice.

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.
