Farm-to-table seafood, creative cocktails, and a retro diner vibe
"Housed in a midcentury modern former Dairy Queen building that the team leaned into rather than hid, I found an ode to roadside-diner culture where Chef Courtney Loreg redefines classics: the croque-monsieur is a dreamy, salty, smoky exemplar, the now-famous brisket burger comes heaped with bacon, cheddar, and house-made pickles, and the kitchen’s charcuterie moves have earned cult status—if duck liver pâté is on the menu, nab it, served with crusty grilled sourdough, dried cherries soaked in port, whole-grain mustard, and petit cornichons." - Alexandra Hall

"This neighborhood eatery with a retro diner feel provides a much-needed dining option in Woodfords Corner. A Fore Street alum, chef Courtney Loreg delivers brasserie classics like mussels and fries, an epic cheeseburger, and Maine crab cakes. Classic cocktails from the bar make this spot an off-peninsula destination." - Kate McCarty
"Mad Men meets modern brasserie The crowd Friendly, savvy, local The drinks Fun cocktails; great wines The food Steaks, seafood, and salads The service Bygone hospitality" - Mindy Fox
"Just minutes from the peninsula, Woodford has always had one of the best patios in the city, and it’s only gotten better in the past year. Woodford’s patio is covered and heated, and offers a menu that includes a number of its greatest hits, like the downright dreamy burger. Also not to be overlooked: Parisian gnocchi, and Maine crab cakes. Woodford Food & Beverage quickly established itself as an instant classic when it opened five years ago, and it certainly hasn’t lost its touch since converting to outdoor only. Woodford Food & Beverage is open for patio dining (reserve here), takeout, and limited delivery." - Briana Volk
"At Woodford Food & Beverage, everything chef Courtney Loreg touches is exceptional, from the moules frites (mussels from abutting Casco Bay in a lemony-shallot butter sauce) to the award-winning burger (brisket with smoked bacon, grilled onions, cheddar cheese, and dijonaise on a sesame seed bun). You can order that burger for brunch, alongside dulce de leche bread pudding French toast and a plate of biscuits and white sausage gravy with eggs." - Alexandra Hall
