Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in town. The menu has the standard classics--burgers with a mix of entres--but prepared and presented to perfection. Clearly a cooking staff that knows and loves their craft.

Great burger, but was totally turned off by other diners feeding their dogs out of china plates that my waitress was handlingHello and I am so glad you enjoyed your burger. We are dog friendly on our patio and provide separate metal dog bowls for water and food for the pups. We provide many hand washing and sanitizer stations for our team members and training for Servsafe acceptable food handling. As the case with all of the flatware and plates we provide for our guests, we can not always know or condone what they may choose to do with a particular item, but what we do control is how we clean our used plates and cutlery, which is with an industrial dish washer with industrial detergent that heat sanitizes at +180 degrees. To put it in perspective, our dishes are cleaner and better sanitized than the dishes that people dine with at their own kitchen tables most nights. Cheers!

Spent two nights here- going to and coming back from Boston. Ate in the Timber kitchen both times and loved both meals! I had the chicken pasta dish and it was better than anything I have had in a long time- it was so good I had it the second night. Service was great, prompt and friendly. The restaurant itself is really nicely done with the different areas and types of seating. We had 2 great servers that worked as a tag team- Dayna and Ian. Well done on every level. Wished we lived closer as it could be a regular haunt for us. The bread they give the table -both the sourdough and cranberry were out of this world delicious..

Popped in to meet a friend for a drink. The bartender was very nice and the restaurant was nice and clean. We shared the southwestern egg rolls and they were very good. Bar crowd is a bit on the older side which means it isnât super loud!

On a Sunday arrived after the church crowd was just leaving. Staff still smiling and place was clean. Menu full of choices but hard to find a low calorie meal. Salads overloaded with higher calorie items, meat dishes garlic/onion/spicy. Waiter pleasant and helpful, quick to get meal out, right amount of attention. Somewhat noisy with tvs blaring sports games.

Had lunch and late night snack during student fall weekend at UMaine. Amazing Garden Mule, will try the lavender one next time. Good variety of beers. Delicious Cornish pastie. Standard fare like burgers is good for the kids. Liked the British football atmosphere; bartender played accordion tunes in evening. Like another review, had the same appetizer for lunch and dinner - the presentation was quite different, so I suggest they standardize things so folks get exactly what they got before, otherwise it's a bit confusing and not what one expects. Also, wanted to have bangers and mash, but they were out on a Friday afternoon (?). Hope to try next time - overall we liked the place and we'll be back!

Get yourself a flight of draught beer, some chicken wings and wood fired pizza, canât go wrong. Chicken wings have become ubiquitous at restaurants and are often done poorly. Not here, wings were spot on, come in a verity of sauces and are extra meaty. The pizza was quite delicious cooked in a wood fired oven, that you walk past upon entering. We left full and very satisfied.

The place looks appealing with a great name, plenty of cool, rustic style and lots of local charm. Parking is limited but not too difficult. The ordering system is not readily obvious but after a couple of visits I'm sure it seems intuitive. The staff is not very engaging or interested in guiding the uninitiated. The person taking the orders appears sluggish, bored and disinterested but not atypically "Maine". The menu is simple but cleaver and the seating options are great, ranging from inside to under the awning and out on the lawn. The dogs are skimpy given the size of the rolls and the kraut is bland.

I've gone here a couple of times the night before a conference and it is awesome! The food is great, really nice selection of cocktails and a relaxing and fun atmosphere. The service is friendly. This place is often super busy which makes sense because it is.
