Chicken was a little tough. Service was slow and we were ignored a lot.

Great beer. Decent pub food. Vegetarian options.

I have to give this brewery pub 5 stars, despite a few hiccups. Firstly, the space inside & out is beautiful. Secondly, the server was efficient & professional with drinks out very quickly, although don't expect a bubbly personality. The Stowaway IPA is excellent & their $3 Dark Lager was good and the price unbelievable in these inflationary times. Finally, the food wait was rather long, nearly an hour; however, the sandwiches were very tasty & fresh. Great find. Tip: inside very noisy but cool energy & outside quiet & cozy.

By far the best restaurant in the Lew. Really good location. Service can be a bit slow so expect a long dinner. But American fare down well. Great apps and great vibe

Food is excellent, in a wonderful old mill building. Tonight, 6/15/25, father's day (not our first visit) our waitress was possibly the worst we've experienced in 15 states and 3 countries. Zero eye contact, didn't introduce herself, never cracked a smile, never checked to see how the food was (after the food runner delivered it), never checked to see if we wanted another drink - we had to ask the food runner to send her around. Never offered us dessert. Terrible. In an large uncrowded room, she had three, possibly four tables, two other waitresses and a food runner and was clearly visible hanging out over behind the bar. SO not impressed. But, food and beer are great so we might brave it again...

Smashburgers were overcooked nachos had no vegetables such as tomatoes black olives green peppers and very little beer cheese bacon was overcooked and mixed drinks a week for their price atmosphere spot on service was fair if a glass is empty or service should check on there customers and not make them wait 5 to 10 minutes place wasn't overly busy One out of 10 I'm giving it a one being the worst won't go back

The environment is hip, the service, mediocre, I paid in cash and the average, professional but not emotionally savvy wait staff, returned with my change.. ROUNDING UP. No coin change. No warning., I overtopped just because I waitresses and it’s a tough job.

The food is good.. no doubt. Prices are commensurate with the quality of food. But, 1. To not alert a customer about this practice and 2. To have this practice is absurd.

Service was so so.. definitely not commensurate with the quality of food or wait staff knowledge of how to engage with a customer when they clearly are disappointed. I didn’t fuss but I’d just handed her a 25% tips. Being a practiced service industry person.. I’m disappointed and won’t return and will sway people away for this very thing

Baxter was awesome! Brittney W was amazing, she handled a ton of tables but still made time for us and easily managing all those other orders on busy nights. The food was delicious, you got tons of it, and totally worth the price.
Definitely recommend it – the place is welcoming and everyone's friendly, no matter what, and the food came out pretty fast.
I have not had a bad experience after the remodel and plan to go back again.

Negative zero. We waited an hour for our food. My salad came out ten minutes after everyone else’s food. Fried haddock was not good. Chairs uncomfortable.

I went to this restaurant for my parents birthday, and I got the buttered noodles. The noodles took a long time to come, and I realized that the noodles were microwaved. (The top was warm and the bottom was cold ☹️) They had no flavor as well and there was no option for marinara when it was on the other menu.

I specifically asked for a DIET Coke, (I’m a type one diabetic) and she brought me a regular one. After I realized, I tried to ask for a drink by saying “can I get a water?” She looked at me and then walked away without taking the order. When she came back, I asked for a water and the waitress said yes, and 15 minutes later she came back with drinks for the others. I asked for a water again and I finally got one.

On the bright side, there was the card game uno. But it was in a bin of other card games and it took 10 minutes to sift through it.

The picture attached is the outside of the building
Over all if you are in lewiston, I would not recommend

Too loud for me, but I could see most people digging the vibe. It's a neat building.
The Ruben: 6.5/10. Great mouth feel, pretty filling. Flavors were bland and muddled

I went here for the first time last night, and unfortunately, I was very disappointed in the food and service. I ordered the double smash burger and it wasn’t a smash burger at all—it was two thick patties, cooked into hockey pucks, and seasoned with spices that reminded me of meatloaf. Not really what I was expecting when ordering a smash burger. The service was subpar, but not to the fault of the waiters, the pub was just extremely understaffed. All in all, I’m not sure if I’d go back here again, but it seems others enjoy it so maybe it was just an off night.

Good beer, excellent atmosphere and waitress, Ariana was just delightful.
