Casual but delicious -- new owners have kept long-time favorites on the menu while adding some unexpected spice. (The butter chicken is amazing!) In warmer weather, enjoy the outdoor deck...and in colder weather, sled right on up!

The pizza here has set the town abuzz since its September 2021 opening. Dine in or carry out...you can't go wrong with any of the options on the menu. Even better, they've got some great Maine craft brews on tap!

We've always loved the Shamrock, but we love it even more since Josh and Erica took over in February 2021. Josh's food is super-yummy -- and he uses local products whenever possible. You'll see us there for lunch every "Taco Tuesday"...and maybe even in between for some of their other sammiches. (Pick-up service only!)
