Jameson Tavern — Restaurant in Freeport

We have been trying to eat here sooo many times but people clearly know a good place. It is usually super busy, so long wait times. I never understood exactly why. However, tonight I now understand.......... The place inside is very small and limited seating. We were at table one next to fire exit door. My chair literally sat 1/3 of the way in front of that door that said EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY. Ahhhhh, that didn't stop people from leaving out it squeezing between my seat and the other seat behind me. I had to wear my jacket because temp tonight is 29 degrees. It was cold, rude, and unnecessary. So when my meal arrived I took off my jacket and swore the next person planning to use that door wouldn't be, unless emergency or course. Must say the whole staff there was AMAZING! My husband and I haven't had a good meal out in a long time so we eat at home. BUT tonight was absolutely perfect! Both of our meals were delicious. So after rambling on and on leaving this review. I must say definitely keep trying to get a seat here, don't give up. Ok, quickly he had crab melt with cole slaw and I had the NY strip med rare with side of caesar salad! Definitely hope to be able to get a...

I would give -1 if I could. Avoid this place... I can't imagine anyone eating a meal here and coming back. Our salad was wilted and random stuff on the vegetables. I wanted to try some authentic Maine clam chowder and got what looks like Campbell's soup...a watery, flavorless mess. No joke. Nachos might have been microwaved, I got no sign that the chips hit the oven. Crazy for such a happening area as Freeport. We honestly left our complete meals with a napkin over them, disappointingly paid just so we could get out of there. Waitress didnt seen to care we didn't touch our plates... could have said something but would they have even cared? Oh, did I mention the table next to us wanted ice cream? They were out of it and told the customer they were running to the store to get some... came back with a CVS bag! There's a Ben & Jerry's right down the street! Beware, everything we saw showed us they cut back costs on quality, perishables, care, cleanliness and attention to detail. Trust me. If you don't, go read my...

I wish I could rate this a zero. My husband and I wanted to try it out due to the nice outdoor patio but regretted it once we sat down. We ordered drinks and mine had a hair in it. I thought ok no big deal, it happens. Big mistake to think that. Our food came and I ordered a simple garden salad, the description sounded nice. Wrong! Rotten pieces of salad, cheese and other 'food' items were in my salad when they shouldn't have been there. Barely took a couple bites before I completely lost my appetite. My husband ordered nachos, another easy enough dish. Wrong! They should be called microwaved nachos and a pile of canned chilli on top. Oh and I forgot to mention the water based clam chowder he had. I thought we were in Maine? Last comment, a customer ordered ice cream. They were out so the manager ran out to CVS to get some!! There's at least a Ben & Jerry's right down the block!! Do not go here!!!! Save yourself...
