I have been to my share of unique food serving places in my life. I will say this place is definitely up there with "unique" and a flavor of "lost in the woods".
I had the opportunity to observe some fantastic guests coming and going while we were here. The clientele was definitely a big part of the entertainment factor.
My favorite was the (obviously) entitled woman, her husband, and three children who decided that the handicapped spot was calling her name, instead of someone who may actually need it. They proceeded to have a verbal disagreement in their vehicle where he (appeared) to be telling her not to park there.
I assume she's the type who chooses to board first on a Southwest Flight because "I don't have to tell you about my disability HIPPA!"
This is the same woman who was asking about gluten free Brussels Sprouts and that "well they used to have them". After that interesting eavesdropping session, I see her eating a lobstah roll. "If the shoe fits", as they say.
Anyway. The food was good, reasonable priced (for Maine). The service was okay. They don't have any N/A beers, which is whatever, despite the fact it's becoming more popular. It's not a knock on them, just is what it is.
Their kitchen seems to be a mishmash of random things from around town.
We ordered "Nashville Hot Tendies". They were well fried, not dry. Definitely not "hot" by any means (spice wise). I didn't expect Indian-restaurant-Level-10-Curry over here, but when given the choice of "Mild" , "Medium", and "Hot", this was less of a mild, and certainly nowhere near a hot. But that's okay because they were still good! Closest I've seen to KFC! The bread they used to soak up the oil was definitely ready to hit my stomach and lube the lines for the evening/morning diarizzy.
The donut grilled cheese sure is unique, and there are enough photos of it around. It's weird, but worth the try.
Lastly, Flo's Pizza. The waitress/server/service person whatever they choose to be titled these days, took about 10 minutes to describe this thing to me.
"It's uh, kind of like, there's a place in town called Flo's, have you been to Flo's? They make hot dogs. Uhm, have you had our pizza before? It's kind of like that, but it has Alfredo sauce and celery".
I'm not sure if it's a generational thing, but it seems like anyone under 30 years old, and working in the underpaid customer service industry lacks any sort of social skills, or an understanding in brevity (see: entire review of my rambling).
Either way. The pizza had some really really good flavor. I couldn't tell if it was undercooked crust, or nearly transparent due to all of the grease. It was like a BBQ chicken pizza with good hotdog on it. I enjoy!
Decent place. Pretty damn good food. I am into the occasional super grease, so I can't complain.
After waiting about 15 minutes to have a spoon brought over for the soup (she completely did not acknowledge or seem to understand why a spoon was requested) I ended up getting one from a confused bartender.
