“ The last tavern we tried the server seemed annoyed we were there. Jade was a breath of fresh air! Jade was so incredibly attentive friendly and really helpful. Also kid friendly place, Jade was so sweet to our little girl. We had nachos, French onion soup, the Cuban sandwich with the corn salad. Everything was full of flavor and well cooked decent prices for the portions. We will 100% come back again! ”
“ This place will always be a must have for their Incredible Brunch! They do it monthly so get there when you can or go any other time because they always knock it out of the park! Any dollar amount spent here is well worth it. They also do events and whatnot check out their site! ”
“ The food here was surprisingly good! The burger and chicken cheese steak sandwiches were SO GOOD as were the drinks! The atmosphere is really cozy and it’s very clean inside. Shelley was a riot too, kept us entertained throughout our meal. A great stop on the way to Acadia, will definitely be back!! ”
“ best food ever they know how to cook all home made organic stuff! Never will be disappointed! The ceaser dressing is off the chain and the croutons omg it’s all home made the steak tips cooked perfect! the biscuits and gravy came with eggs and home fries! If this isn’t how it’s supposed to be done we are missing out! I don’t know folks I think this is what we’ve all been missing! Lots of good seasoning and good pricing for fire food!!!!!!!!! ”
“ Shelly is the ! Great food, great service, the outside patio over looking the river was very pleasant. My family and I waiting all winter to come here and it did not disappoint. Prices were a bit higher than expected but it was a good experience and I’d go back if we lived here full time. ”
“ They didn’t have coffee or tea or any hot drinks. The service was fast and friendly. I had the veggie curry. It was spicy and delicious . I would definitely go back when in the area. It’s right on the river. ”
“ great atmosphere, very friendly staff and patrons. Clean and inviting with tasty food that I will definitely be back for. First decent burger i’ve had in years! ”
“ Amazing lunch experience. Wonderful friendly service, good beer on tap, awesome patio dining with just a killer inland Maine type view. The food was outstanding. Steamed mussels were as good as any we’ve ever had. No joke, the 2 red hotdogs were even better. Perfectly cooked on absolute awesome lobster roll type bread rolls...perfectly buttered & toasted. Seriously blown away by the entire lunch experience. They literally elevated hot dogs to a gourmet item. Cannot recommend River Jack Tavern enough!! ”
