I ate here twice with my kids while exploring Katahdin (our first visit to this area, but not our last!). I agree with other reviewers that the food is good, but not great, but that the prices are in line with what you are getting. There are not a lot of options in the area, and this totally met our...

The food is not that fantastic, pretty average actually. But the general buzz of AT hiking here is outstanding. The owners, Old Man and Navigator, are well known and also operate the Lodge down the street. This is the place for hikers to meet up and exchange stories about their adventures. The food is fine, although I disliked paying $2... More

I went here last with my Grandmother. I had a great salad with spinach, dried berries, walnuts and bacon. Gran had a bowl of chili. We were both very happy with our meals. There was a great mix of folks enjoying lunch. It seems to be a very popular spot.

As soon as we walked in and saw the decor, including ceiling tiles signed by hikers who have completed the Appalachian Trail, I knew that this place is what it purported to be. Let's face it, Millinocket is not the dining capital of the world, or even Maine. The Bangor paper characterizes locals here as leery of people "from away."... More

Opens really early (5 AM), which is great if you're headed to Baxter State Park for hiking or whatever. Great breakfast (delicious bowl of steel cut oatmeal and perfectly cooked poached eggs on homemade english muffins). All of us ordered different items and all were pleased. Very reasonably priced and great service. Very accommodating to hikers.(filled our bottles & thermos... More

We ate here twice, probably the cheapest meals we've had in years. The food was average, nothing special, but nothing terrible. Service was excellent and it's a charming little place. If the owners of the restaurant are reading this, I suggest ditching the mccain frozen hash browns and make home made ones, like your bread.

We are vegetarians and had delicious black bean burritos, black bean burgers, and onion rings. Very friendly wait staff, excellent service! Were looking forward to our next visit.
