Bissell Brothers

Great ambience delicious food & yummy cocktails!! This restaurant has it all including separate dining areas as well as outdoor seating. Excellent customer service and good price points for the Quality and portion size:) There is a Huge Screen TV in the lovely open Bar area.

Loved our visit to Bissell Brothers Brewery! My partner said that the wings he ordered were the best he's had east of Western NY and also the Hearts of Pine IPA he ordered was perfect. I enjoyed my lunch and thought my Bissell Breeze Hard Tea was good 😊 was a big fan of it not being carbonated.

The service was great once we got to the table, it was very busy so the wait was longer than usual, the meals all arrived cold and honestly boring. It was a fun visit but not for the food. Even the fries were cold. We did not mention anything to the waiter as it was very busy and did not want to wait any longer. The drink selection was good and served just like our food, cold

This brewery deserves 5 stars just for being FULLY solar powered!! I have never seen or heard of such a thing, but this is amazing and I hope it catches on to many many more places. My husband had their First Chair Last Call and Historic Fiction and enjoyed them. Their Shroomed was tasty, but the Breeze Hard Tea takes the cake! As a die hard twisted tea fan, I have found a new alternative that’s tastier and has less calories👀 seriously the best hard tea I’ve ever had! Now I’m just going to wait until they start distributing to CT🤞🏼

Good beer. Lots of IPA on the menu. The pilsner and saison are both good and paired well with the very messy Nashville chicken sandwich.

So good! Came wanting to try their double IPAs and they had 5 DIPA options. All delicious but we especially like the “Helico”and “Here’s to feeling good”. And then the fried chicken sandwich was the best one we have ever had. The fries and beer cheese was a major plus. Staff are super chill and attentive and helpful. Just all around amazing spot and perfect before our concert at the point!

Really nice brewery with excellent service to boot! Great beer and wings!

🌿 Good God, the Garden is gold! 💰 Although we're regulars at Bissell Brothers (up the hearts! 🌲❤️🫶), this was our first visit to The Garden, and you all must check it out! 🍽️ The Garden is Bissell's 21+ space👏, boasting a phenomenal food and beverage menu. It might just be one of the best restaurants in Maine—don’t sleep on it! 🌟 My husband started with the scallops, and the flavor combinations were out of this world! 🐚✨ We decided to share our main courses, and while the gnocchi was great (though there’s stiff competition in town for phenomenal pasta), the pork coppa steak was exceptional. 🍑🍖 The grilled radicchio, onions, and popcorn purée created the perfect trio. 🌽🧅 If you’re looking for an intimate evening out, this is the place to be! 🕯️🍷

Great food and beer! Great staff who were very knowledgeable about their business and the surrounding area

Food was delicious, husband loved the beer. We were able to bring our pup on the back patio. Great place to hang out.

First off, my buddy was told by the bartender he could only order 1 beer at a time (and I quote "can't let ya do that bud"). He was part of a party of 4+ people and we had ordered food and beers previously. Down the bar from us at a different bartender, a single patron walked away with 3 beers and a glass of wine. Immediately soured our experience. My buddy was stone cold sober as he had only one 4% beer before going back to order. The food is mediocre for the price. Burger wasn't anything special. Sandwiches don't come with chips or fries. I feel like Bissell has become more of a tourist place over the past year or so, much to their detriment. Maybe it's my rose colored nostalgia glasses, but I think it used to be better. The beer is decent, which is probably the only draw. Only reason I went this time is proximity to Thompson's Point. I probably won't return.

Great food, great drinks, great service! I don't love that you have to pay for parking, but that's not on the restaurant. They actually do their best to make sure people do pay and don't end up with tickets. We stopped here for a quick dinner with friends and it was perfect. We were in and out in under 2 hours and were a decent-sized group. I would definitely stop here again!

We made a stop at Bissell Brother ls after a visit to the Cryptozoology Museum next door (that's a whole 'nother story). But we were pressed for time before putting folks on a flight home and this was a convenient spot. Bissell Brothers is the North Star for beer lovers for sure. But less known are their tasty bar foods. We enjoyed the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich and fries as well as a really tasty pretzel. The staff at Bissell is friendly and knowledgeable and got us our food quickly, which is just what we needed! The brewery is exactly what you'd expect: large, airy, and appropriately decorated. There's even a spot to buy beer to take home. It's a great spot st Thompson's Point!

Great beer, friendly staff, they even have a run club! My personal favorite was the Swish Lite, they do also serve food although we didn't have any. Stop in and try them out!

It's exactly what you'd expect from a lively brewery! Right next to the children's museum, family friendly. We had the substance IPA, some Prosecco, the raspberry baby genius. There's a merch section, upper level seating but can access via wheelchair. The staff are super friendly and catered to our large group of 9 people. Bathrooms were a little dirty but nothing unexpected from a busy brewery at 3pm. We had a blast and will definitely be back.

This place had a great selection of stouts, as well as other types of beer. We tried a bunch and I can't say I had one bad one. The gentleman at the bar was very helpful and personable. There was plenty of seating and a second level with additional seats. The food looked delicious but I cannot speak on the quality, as we only stopped in for drinks. Definitely will return here wherever I'm in Portland.

Always great to find a cool brewery around but even better with food that you remember. Got the garlic parm wings and after trying many wings all over RI these are definitely a treat for the people of Portland. Crispy, fried to perfection and a garlic parm sauce that you will remember. The fries were your average frozen fries but even some places today mess up that. Had a great selection of ciders and beer and the one pictured was a sweeter one which I liked. The server and host were friendly lot to look at in the inside and was very clean which is always great to see

While we just stopped for a brew my wife and enjoyed everything about this place. A bustling Saturday afternoon complete with a full house that seemed to be running like a well oiled machine. Our neighbors at the outdoor bar enjoyed multiple appetizers and raved about the flavors and the portions. We went back inside to grab a few bottles to enjoy at home since we loved our beers.

Stopped here for a quickie brunch and really excited to return. What a beautiful tap room with bright lights, beautiful plants and a welcoming vibe. Brunch was delicious, the beer selection incredibly diverse and everyone was friendly. We tried the pickle plate, sampled several of the deeper flavored beers but I chose the lager to accompany my meal. Excited to return!

Bissell Brothers was highly recommended and it more than lived up to the hype. It was busy on a Saturday afternoon and despite the crowd, staff was super friendly, helpful, and attentive. They had a good amount of seating inside, a patio outside, a side room for private events, and a mezzanine that also looked it could be rented. This was also a great spot to watch a game - they were projecting one of the big college football games - with one projector, I would make share to check in advance to make sure they are playing the game that you want. The beers were good with a decent selection of IPAs, stouts, and lagers. They had a good food menu as well. One little tip is that parking costs a few dollars an hour and they do check the meters frequently on weekends so make sure to pay when you park.

The beers were unreal good, I've been wanting to come to this place for a long time. I was excited to see a wider portfolio than just IPAs and hazy IPAs. They had an old barley wine on tap that was amazing, hard to find some of the darker styles lately. I came in 30 minutes before closing time, was able to get a taster and a couple of small pours along with some stuff to go. Staff was very accommodating and thankful for my business.

I love this place! Great beer and food. Very family friendly. The staff seems to love their job and that makes such a difference in the service. I come to Portland Maine 5-6 times per year and I stop here every single time

Steve and I recently had Bissell Brothers from Portland, Maine. I have dove into this city a couple of different times with their brewery community and have usually pretty good experiences. Bissell Rrothers was no exception. We had the Lux Pale Ale which we liked pretty well Flavor features with this pale ale are about what you get with typical pale ales which are hopy, tropical and with this one a bit spicy. The beer itself is light bodied and smooth which was nice to see.

The food was fine but not great-- very bland/boring/one-note. We didn't get alcohol, which is what this place is really known for. We tried the burger, KBBQ sandwich, fries, and French onion soup, and the only thing we'd get again were the fries. The fries were stellar and absolutely perfect-- everything a fry should be.

Okay the maple soft serve icecream with lemon and sea salt is amazzzzzing. Wasn't drinking but all my friends loved their beers. Cool vibe and cool that there's a 21+ up side and family side. Loved it here

This place is the new Chucky Cheese. Almost every table has 2+ very young children. Music very loud. Food and beer are very good.

Stopped her to see the new expansion. They now have a whole area where cellar door used to be that is 21+ and gives you the full bar experience with TVs and a huge bar. We sat at a table in the other area and the service was quick and friendly. I got wings and fries, and my friend got the chicken sandwhich. The food was good but a little on the pricey side. (15$ for a chicken sandwhich with no side). I'm not a huge beer drinker but people love their beer and they have lots of choices. They also have wine and seltzer options. Overall a great brewery with good food!

It's hard to believe that Bissell was originally crowdfunded to even exist. I strongly regret not investing! Because now Bissell is the single best brewery experience in Maine. It's also the most "bar-like" brewery, especially with their new addition. They took over the old Cellardoor/Rosemont space and knocked the wall down, while keeping the enormous, room-spanning granite bar. I can't envision myself ever sitting in the original space again, so I can't comment, though I've heard the switch to table service hasn't been popular. In addition to Bissell having the biggest indoor brewery space in the city, it's also easily the best food. While bar food staples populate the surprisingly extensive menu (burgers, wings, chicken and fish sandwiches), everything is elevated. I'm actually doing Bissell a disservice by comparing the food to other breweries. It might be one of the best in the city for bar food, period. It's better than Dewey's, for instance. The wings are my current favorite, of anywhere. And the chef is allowed to experiment with fun and unexpected daily specials. Think forays into sashimi, Indian and even Mexican food. The gluten free and vegetarian options are also strong. As an avid meat eater, even I order the beet or eggplant sandwich as a healthier option, and both are delicious. I'm a fan of Bissell beer and love the brand, but Apres hard seltzer, Artifact hard cider and canned wine is also available. By the time you read this they will have a full cocktail menu, including espresso martinis and Palomas. They encourage you to start a tab when you order, and annoyingly keep your credit card, which seems unnecessary in 2024. This is also a very popular brewery, so service can vary, but is usually good. The paid parking situation is awful, but not Bissell's fault, and I'll save my rant about the greedy owners of Thompson's Point for a different day. The competition for best brewery experience is a two way race between Bissell and Allagash (who is opening a new tasting room later this year), but Bissell is the easy victor, for now.

Big, clean, modern space near the children's museum, so it's no surprise you'll see many families with children--but that shouldn't affect your enjoyment one way or another. Many beers available, no flights, not much variety of sizing, but very good beers, easily obtained at the counter, and with guidance from friendly and knowledgable staff. You can order food at the beer counter too; they give you a buzzer, and when it rings, you go pick it up at a separate food counter. The food is surprisingly good. Mango Habanero Wings: On the small side, but they give you ten of them, and with a pleasant (but not that hot) sauce. Interesting use of lime zest. Very crisp. Neither moist nor dry. Not their best item. Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich: Simply put, one of the best I've ever had. Very large brined thigh, very bumpy and crunchy, stretching out well past the sides of the quality bun. I like Martin's potato rolls, but thankfully this isn't yet another copycat. Biting in brings a floodgate of chicken juices along with creaminess, boldly hot oil/sauce, creaminess from slaw, and a bit of honey. Thin-cut homemade pickles and carrot slices add crunch, flavor, and diversity. Every aspect of this sandwich is well conceived, well executed, and delicious. Messy. And it's cooked in lard, which you'll definitely taste. So bad for you. But so good. Burger: Okay, so maybe there IS some copycat, because it's yet another smash burger? No way, not a copycat at all, and this startled me by how good it was. You can choose pink or no pink; I always choose pink. Much thicker patties than your typical smashburger (such as at Butcher Burger across town, which I like). Great contrast between the charred exterior and the tender, juicy interior that's almost delicate. Definitely pink. Good quality to the beef. As with the chicken sandwich, all of the condiments worked nicely, including a zesty/creamy orange (color) sauce. Decent melt to the flavorful cheddar, which is harder to pull off than with American. Overall, a very good burger and one of the better ones I've had in Portland. Fries: Thin shoestrings, unexplainably crisp and wilty at the same time. Good potato flavor. They seem to be all smaller pieces though. One time perfectly seasoned, another time prohibitively salty (and I like salty). Opt for an add-on sauce for a buck; I went with ranch that was delightfully full of dill, a nice touch. Beer: Lots of good choices, which I'll leave to your preference and the recommendations of the staff, though I recommend "Here's to Feeling Good All the Time."

Fun tasting room. The staff were awesome, and we stumbled upon an awesome trivia night too. The "food cart" had some awesome choices too. Huge selection on merch. Grabbed a Bissell Disc & a couple of sweet hats. We'll be back for sure.

Bissell Brothers is conveniently located right next to the children's museum!!! After the kids played, the parents got to have their own fun! The building and area is very nice, having to pay for parking in that area, did seem a bit tacky. The beers not only are very good, but they have a lot of high abv options, which is not always easy to find! The food is also AMAZING! My smash burger was perfect, the combat sauce on it reminded me of a spicy French dressing, my husband loved his Nashville hot chicken sandwich and the fries were on point! My daughter tried garlic parm wings and the guava and mango swirl ice cream. The wings had great flavor and the perfect outer crisp. The ice cream was super yummy, with the little lime zest and sea salt on top, made for an extra unique flavor! I knocked off a star because I feel for the size of the brewery and the amount of staff, it would be more of a sit down and have waitstaff, type of restaurant. Getting up to order, then getting back up to retrieve my meal and again if we wanted more beer, made the vibe a little off for me. Also, the employees didn't seem extra friendly by any means, except the man in the kitchen, he had a great personality!

Bosses Brothers beers are excellent! Just had "Shadow Lantern" and it is complex without being over hopped or heavy.

What a great spot ! Bissell brothers makes some amazing beers. ! If you are an ipa lover you will enjoy their brews. They make some tasty ones ! It's a large space so room for everyone. They also have delicious food there so you can grab a nosh and keep drinking. If you park in the lot please be sure to pay at the meter so you don't get a ticket or towed. Bissel brothers is a great spot and a must stop for all craft beer lovers !

I've been a customer of Bissell Bros since their earliest days on industrial ave. 5-star beers, usually 5-star food. Had lunch today and ordered the $7 "hand-cut" fries (which I've ordered many times before) and was served grocery store frozen fries. Waiter explained that they had changed the fries they serve but had not updated the menus because it was too expensive to do so. They took the fries off our bill, and the rest of our food was great. It's a small thing, but it's disappointing from a place that has always preached responsible business practices. Hope this is just a minor one-time thing and not a sign of a slipping commitment to quality.

One of my coworkers recommended this place, me and my husband are not big beer drinkers, I had the wildflower beer under "wild and funky" which was really good, and we were so blown away by the food, especially the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, so flavorful juicy and crispy! We both agree that it's the best hot chicken sandwich we have ever had so far! The wings and fries were also delicious. It's such a cool place, lots of parking space, services are great, short wait time! Will def stop by again!

Very uniquely decorated brewery with lots of space inside. They have a great food menu, we loved the hummus appetizer and the table next to us got an amazing looking hot chicken sandwich. The beer is unreal, especially if you really like hazy IPAs. The only weird part was that we took our dog and they don't technically allow dogs, even on the patio. They did allow us to stay but said that if it got busy on the patio we may have to leave. Overall amazing brewery and beer I'd just recommend leaving the dig at home to avoid a slightly awkward situation.

The food is good, but it is pretty overpriced and small portions. This is likely more of a place that is better enjoyed for the brewery aspect, but we just had lunch. The staff was friendly though and food was out pretty quick. The place was clean as well.

Stopped in before a concert at Thompson point so it was packed. We were able to find a corner couch spot and ordered food at the bar. I was really shocked how great their buffalo wings were with ranch, along with the salty shoe string fries. Food was definitely awesome Beer wise the beers were a bit IPA-y for me but not bad. Wish the spot had a bit more women's bathrooms for how big is was but really trendy decor and a cool vibe.

I can't say enough good things about Bissell Brothers! Their craft beer selection is next-level, with something for everyone. I'm a fan of their Substance Ale--super crisp and flavorful. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and it's clear they care about their craft and their customers. It's the perfect place to hang out with friends and enjoy great beer!

Delicious and beautifully colored beer especially the nothing but gold. Hot Nashville chicken sandwich is so good - I appreciate the pickles, sliced lettuce, chili oil and the honey! Thank you for a crispy chicken sandwich that is hot and sweet! Be prepared for a messy yet delightfully good sandwich. Nothing but gold is impeccable- drink in a glass or from the can. This beer literally looks like a glass of honey - yummm. Staff are very friendly and attentive. The space is huge yet well designed, clean, spacious with great natural lighting. Even if the space is packed you will find a seat including at the bar and you are able to carry a conversation without needing to shout. Outdoor seating is also available. Only downside to this spot is metered parking. Also great sticker collection for view in the bathrooms.

The beer was good but this place was so chaotic. There were so many children and it was so crowded and loud. You order your drink and then have to find a seat but there was almost nowhere to sit in the massive warehouse so then you awkwardly are holding your drink like okay now what.

Large brewery, super commercialized. TONS of brewery schwag. Bright colors, new age vibe wall art (think dripping paint and graffiti.) Plenty of seating and good for large groups. Even have an outdoor area. It's in a nice area with a few other little store fronts and a stage on the water where there was a free music Thursday night. I felt like Bissell just didn't hit the mark. The kids cheeseburger was too small. The kids chicken tenders were a much larger serving but fatty and a lot of breading. The chicken wings- why do they taste like lime? And the blue cheese was not good. The brussel sprouts were delicious but a small portion. The fries- TOO salty and I love salt. I think Bissell has gone too big and lots its charm.

The first impression of Bissell Brothers is a surprising sight of a parking meter location chargeing a fee to park in the strip mall where they are located. after initially, having this, not particularly welcoming start, I really did enjoy the ambience, found their Hazy IPA delicious, and thought they were late night menu fondue was absolutely worth a try.

I really miss the COVID delivery of Swish. I recently went to the brewery and bought a case of Swish and was not disappointed. I love the fact that the recipe hasn't changed unlike other competitors (Epiphany) that now sell at Hanny's. Keep up the the good work boys! It doesn't take rocket appliances!

Beer is always good so wanted to share other aspects of our experience. We showed up 10 minutes before the kitchen closed. Was welcomed with a smile by the host and instead of discouraging us, encouraged us to order quickly and put as at the high tops to order at the bar so we didn't need to wait on a server. Rock star! Ordered from Dave at the bar and he was so friendly, encouraged us to try a taste of a beer we were considering. He had zero problems running to the kitchen to ask a food question and we walked away saying "We have not had that great of service in so long." In fact, not until writing this just now did I remember they were out of the chowder that I had been looking forward to. The service was that good that I forgot how much I wanted it! Haha. The two of us split a Nashville hot chicken sandwich and, as someone whose dad is from Nashville and who visits the city frequently, this was the closest I have tasted to a true Nashville hot chicken in Portland. Super crispy, juicy but not soggy, and great heat level. The end of trivia was going on and wasn't offensively loud and even though we missed it, we had fun guessing the answers while they reviewed the final questions. Will be back to participate! Thanks Bissell! We will see you soon!

Excellent beer and decent food. Most of the great breweries have little food options, so I don't want to be too critical of BB for food because decent food is better than no food or a food truck. Food was decent, but could be better. No one in our party liked the beef sammy... it was kinda small and sad for Bostonians. The wings are great, except the buffalo, which lack flavor and heat. Fries very mediocre. But the beer!!!

Besides their beer - the food at BB is incredible! Hubs and I had goat birria tacos our first time and then an amazing burger the next. Wish we were closer to come more often

TLDR: too pricey for me to justify going out of my way to come here when I can eat and drink cheaper in downtown Portland/Bayside. Seems designed strictly for Children's Museum and Thompson's Point show overflow. I had been hearing lots of good things about the food here since they started their scratch kitchen and took over the side last occupied by Rosemont. It is an enormous space now and it seems like they're essentially keeping the original side as the pandemonium playroom for kids/parents after the kids museum, and the new side as more of a classier, adults side. All into that for all involved. Nice idea. The food they're now doing is pretty good. Is it better than Nighthawk's Kitchen at Mast Landing Freeport or even Goodfire? I wouldn't say so, but it's decent. The last thing I ate was the "buffalo" wings which are made with a way less flavorful fresno sauce, not very crispy, $15. Wouldn't recommend, but the kale salad ($11) is good and the burger won't disappoint, as long as you don't mind spending $17 on a burger without fries. They are working on nicer entrees and specials, which I have not tried. Most of the sandwiches are $15-16, no sides, fries are an additional $7. Charcuterie board is $28, etc. Combine that with all beers being $8+, all pretty basic cocktails being $15, and parking being $3.50 for 90 minutes, and I can eat and park cheaper at a variety of places in Portland with real cocktails and similarly priced beers. It's apparent they're needing to foot the bill of this new expansion and it will do fine, it's just hard to imagine locals without kids going here. What's the draw? The good beer? I like BB as much as the next person, but the expensive experience here will have me going to Modest Man, Belleflower; more low-key spots with just as tasty beers.

Stopped by here on a recommendation of a friend - and we were not disappointed. We LOVED this brewery. The beers were great but the space is truly spectacular. We talked to one of the bartenders for way too long - good people working there with even better beer. Would make this a must if visiting Portland.

Actual Review: 3.5 (Disclaimer - I am not a huge beer person) They definitely have a lot of beer options here mainly IPAs and dark beers (which honestly are usually not the type of beers that I go for). To order - pretty much you order upfront (beer and food) and then you pick up yourself up there as well. The place itself was pretty spacious and the tables are pretty spread out from each other. But if you are into those type of beer then this place is the type of place for you. We decided to go with Industry vs. Inferiority which was actually pretty good and we also got Umbra (granted - we did ask for sweet beer recommendation) but this beer was not the type of beer for us; way too heavy and sweet and honestly I just think we are not fans of super dark beers. The food itself was pretty hit or miss but honestly was pretty good! We decided to get the Grilled Chicken Sandwich high I definitely recommend - the chicken itself was super crispy and tasty. The fries itself is a pass - not crispy and low key soggy. We also got garlic parmesan chicken wings which were pretty tasty itself but nothing special. Overall - definitely come here if you are a fan of IPAs and darker beers but if you aren't maybe pass on this place. They do have canned beers that you can buy and take out.

There is a wide variety of their beers on tap. Though the location is out of the way, it's always hopping! Food service was on target.

Super chill place with great murals, tasty beer focused on IPA, Stouts and "Kellerbier", and a decent food offering that compliments the beer perfectly. I'm sure enough has been said about the beer, which is top notch and expertly crafted. What surprised me was the food. People talk about how wine enhances food and vice versa, and everyone knows beer and pizza or burgers or wings are a match made in heaven and this was certainly the case here, but also beer and Naan and super tasty hummus, beer and Brussels sprouts, beer and cheese boards - all a resounding yes! And yes, I hate paying $6 for 3 hours of parking waaay outside of the Old Port, but consider it the price of admission to a great experience.

I hadn't been to Bissell in a few years, and decided to pop in to check out their new Garden restaurant they opened in May. The food was outstanding and the two female bartenders, Niko and Mazy, were incredible. They were not only so nice, but they were able to answer every question we had. I cannot stress enough how amazing the food was, and we were so excited to come back. A couple months passed, and my husband and I couldn't stop thinking about the gnocchi, so we decided to go back in. It was a bizarre experience in comparison to the last. The bartenders not only clearly did not want to be there, but they didn't seem to know what they were doing either. They definitely tried, but did not know how to make our cocktails (which we ordered from their "signature cocktail" menu). I got the same drink as our first visit, the Italian Paloma, and it was terrible. It was almost 100% different, which was bizarre since it had the exact same ingredients listed. After we were there for a bit, it started to get a little busy, and the bartenders were so overwhelmed and it was clear the manager was busy chatting to a friend instead of helping them out. I almost felt bad for the employees working there. It was hard to watch. We were just sitting at the bar watching the manager drink a beer and watch them get pummeled. He then (maybe an hour later) put his beer down and delivered some food, then went back to his beer. The whole thing just put such a bad taste in my mouth and I'm not sure we'll be back. I just wanted it to be clear the food was not the reason for this poor review, and the employees need to be trained and helped!! If we were able to witness the terrible dynamics they seem to have, it must be a million times worse behind the scenes. Portland is known for the amazing food, but also friendly and knowledgable staff. Pick your game up Bissell!

This is a nice spot located in Thompson's Point that is actually very convenient for parents to grab lunch before or after going to the Children's museum. Has a fun atmosphere, counter service for beer and food, and plenty of space for larger groups. Music was a bit loud, maybe trying to ward off the children... A fun spot I would enjoy visiting again when in the area. Love seeing beer brewing in all its glory!

Perfection in a glass! This place works magic with the Mosaic hops. It does not get better than this.

The old Cellar Door side of the brewery is quieter. It allows some of us whose hearing gets overloaded by noise the opportunity to have a comfortable conversation. I had some time waiting for the bus to Augusta. I wanted a restaurant within walking distance There were a few unique items on the menu that were intriguing and did not disappoint. We tried two beers of many offered. Our choices were full bodied and get a thumbs up.

My husband and I were looking for a quick, casual dinner out for our anniversary and I was craving a veggie burger and cider. With a call to a long-time Portland staple, we knew there was no way we were waiting over an hour. Instead, we headed over to Bissell Bros and we are super glad we did! Epic veg burger, delicious fish sandwich (or so I deduced from my husband's "yum" sounds), great fries, and the perfect draft cider. It was quick to order at the counter and easy to refill water glasses and get extra napkins, etc. If you're looking to get all dressed up be waited on and all that, this isn't for you. It was perfect for us, though, and we'll be back. (Only criticism is that I'm old but my hearing is excellent, so the music was a tad loud.)
