“Amazing food & relaxing atmosphere.“

“Great location, small place located in a lovely old hotel. Clean, friendly staff and a great waiter named Jason who was pleasant, funny and attentive. Extremely festive and warm atmosphere inside. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience here.“

“Love everything about this place!! Food, drinks, and vibes are always amazing! They switch up their coffee and food menu typically every season so you can have som variety. And if you haven’t tried this place in the summer - YOU HAVE TO! Their outdoor patio feels like you’re transported to somewhere other than downtown Biddeford. Their staff is always SO kind and helpful. Couldn’t say enough nice things about Catface Café 😻“

“Every visit to the White Barn Inn is a luxurious experience. From the moment you walk in, they make you feel so welcome,like you're the only guest there. The service, accommodations and amenities are unparalleled. And the best experience is dinner in the barn. The food is delicious and the service, again, impeccable. Nils in the dining room made our evening perfect. Thank you for always going above and beyond. John and Kirsten Skibbee“

It was so big that I was able to bring half home to eat at a later time. We will definitely be back and hopefully Caitlin will be our waitress again… a super nice young lady. The food is delicious and the staff very accommodating.“

“This was our first time here in 8 years since it changed from Maxwell’s to Pepper’s. Maxwell’s was a place we visited frequently when in Ogunquit, and we even had my 50th birthday there. We were very apprehensive about going to Pepper’s, and we did not know what to expect! Wow and cool were the first 2 words I thought of when we entered! The place we came to know and love changed, but it was a great change with an awesome bar! Then, we had some drinks, an appetizer, and then our food came. All of it was great, and all the servers and bartenders are wonderful! We definitely recommend the Firecracker Shrimp and Calamari for appetizers, and the whole belly clams and teriyaki tuna for main courses! Everything was fresh and delicious! We are looking forward to our next trip to Ogunquit, and Pepper’s will definitely be on our dining list!“

“Great food and great service. Will definitely visit again if ever down this way!“

“Loved the experience, the salad bar brought back 1970's nostalgia. Perfect!“

“The food was great! People were friendly. Atmosphere comfy. I was so excited to see both gluten free and vegan options on the menu!! We had the BBQ for 2 with pinto beans, cashew queso with chips and collard greens (originally to get in a green veggie but wow, delicious!) The Diablo barbecue sauce, although not as spicy as the name would imply was outstanding! We will definitely be back.“

“For you that know me and those who don’t,I speak my mind about any subject whether it’s good or plain sucked !! I have to share this little story with you ,a dismal start to our vacation week, A normal 3 hour drive turned into a five hour one,then I had issues with my oxygen machine,which turned into waiting for a servicemen to come from two hours away.So we are looking at 9 o’clock at night before he would come, now we haven’t eaten since morning and now it’s past 7:30. We knew since Covid hit most eateries are open limited hours, we called Stutesy’s Pub & Grill they said come on down even though they were already shutting down for 8 o’clock. That they will take care of us,not only was Stacie a gracious host her husband cooked us a wonderful meal and even made two more meals to go for our two sons,who were coming laterThey won over our hearts and our taste buds so you’ve got to give Stutesy’s a try for sure!!“

“Excellent food and entertainment rolled into one! Highly recommend!!“

“Was invited to go for lunch. Sat outside by the river😊 Had the prime rib tacos w/veg special and a brew. Our waitress Elle was a delight 🥳 My friend and I Loved our visit and the meal was delicious“

“I have going to Lucky loggers for 30+ years . They have the Friendliest waitresses in town along with the best breakfast in town.“

“Food came out quickly. Waitress was efficient. The nachos were really good and the Key Lime Pie dessert martini was delicious. Bathrooms needed cleaning, both men and women's were kind of gross. Women's was super sticky floors and I saw a few bugs on the floor in both bathroom and main dining area.“

“Just wanted to share our experience with a wonderful waitress. I’ve ungraciously forgotten her name, but we came in on a very busy Saturday tonight and sat right next to the host stand. She had just finished serving a very large party, and couldn’t have been more kind and upbeat. Making jokes with us, and running around nonstop. Drink refills were instant, food was hot and delicious. It is truly people like this that keep us coming back, she deserves some recognition!“

“Wonderful friendly staff and delicious food!!!“

“Had a great experience at Batson in Wells! I have been to their other locations, but never to Wells and loved the waitlist feature, cozy atmosphere, and menu. My cocktail, soup, and mac and cheese were all delicious and the service was great. Looking forward to going back soon!“

“A step back in time. Great people and service.“

“OMG the waitress was incredible! We had a beer flight and she was out of one beer so she gave us a pumpkin spice with sugar and cinnamon on the rim, it was delicious. I had the Maine sampler (lobster roll, clam chowder, fries and blueberry cobbler)and hubby had the fish and chips. Both were delicious and we enjoyed the view of the boats docked while we ate. The waitress never forgot us, she checked to see if we needed anything and told us about local must sees. Well worth the trip.“

“Good food, excellent service and amazing views, highly recommend!“

“Wow. Best dang mozzarella moon sticks.“
