Very nice outside area. Unfortunately the servers become overwhelmed and forget how to do their job as soon as it's somewhat busy. We watched our food get brought to another table, tried to flag her down and got nothing. She told the table with our food to just eat it even though they had just sat down and we had been sitting 30 minutes. Instead of an apology about our wait which would have been perfect, one of our food items was dropped off so fast we couldn't get a word in. I finished my meal before the other meal came out. Don't bother going for food. Drinks are a maybe but not if they are busy or be prepared to get the wrong order or eat 30+ minutes.

A great little find. The Allagash wheat beer was magnificent.

Did not eat there but stopped in for a few beers and to hear the entertainment. Will definitely visit again.

They had live music and an outdoor area with very quick service.

Warm welcoming staff, happy regulars, creative events, top notch dedication to their draft list pouring from clean lines and glassware, passionate owners who are present and make food from scratch. A true Portland gem!

Wow! Our family randomly picked this spot for a quick lunch after seeing the lighthouse. The environment is so inviting and comfortable. The food was amazing - picture of my xl Chicago dog. My husband tried the Viking and my kids both cleaned their plates of hot dogs, ketchup and cheese. I tried the local cider (which was so good) and the white bubbly. Everything was perfect and the service was literally above & beyond! The waitress went out of her way to give both my little guys a MadiGras style necklace that made their day. We will be back! Thank you for such a memorable lunch!

I'm late posting this as it was well over a year ago but oh well. I had just moved here from out of state and discovered this seemingly amazing place with these creative hotdogs and bratwursts and gorgeous seating area outside. I was looking forward to becoming a regular and eventually trying everything on the menu and repeating my favoties. I came back about a month after that initial visit. I arrived at 7:25pm!!!! Their "closing" time was 8PM!!!!! The restaurant was open but no customers inside, only a few employees who told me they were closed. After some debate about their posted closing time and being open, I was denied service. There was raw hotdogs, bratwursts and onions on the grill being cooked. I assume for staff. I called the next day to complain to the owners. To my surprise they defended this stating their "smart" employees close early if business is slow. Ok. Let me get this straight, in the lifetime of a restaurant you are willing to miss out on potentially tens of thousands of dollars possibly more by turning away no telling how many people when it suits you??? Yes, that's very smart.
Seriously, a fun, fun place to indulge in your guilty pleasure......hot dogs! Just close your eyes and pick one....you can't go wrong!!! All options are winners!!!

Great place to hang out when in Portland! The food and atmosphere is awesome. Several craft beers, my favorite beind Cushnog. Walking distance to the habor and all the shopping. Definitely a great place to plan your adventures through the downtown Portland area!
