TNT Takeout — Restaurant in Houlton

They are a friendly small diner with homemade and more common vendor items like chips and sodas.

Their Ruben is good and I'd rate it a 7/10. It's juicy, the bread is lightly toasted. The cheese and meat are thick slices. And, there is plenty dressing. I had ordered two ruebens, one with cheese and one without. They nicely wrote cheese on the one with. And if you think thats standard, no. Not everyone nor every diner does that. :)

The fried mushrooms taste fresh and all of their fried foods are hardly oily at all. The beer-battered fries are good as well. Everything is made fresh and tastes fresh. The fries are nicely coated, again not oily at all. The seasoning is light and soft on the palate. The fries aren't compact or starchy, but rather have a bite past the coating and then a nice soft chew.

You can request to have dipping sauces with the appetizers, and they will give you ranch with most everything and ketchup for the fries.

The jalapeño poppers are a 8/10. They have a nice crunchy outer battered layer, and are nice, fresh well-cooked jalapeños with a stuffing of cheese inside. These come with ranch sauces too. Usually two cups.

The kid's Mac and cheese taste like kraft Mac n cheese but while they don't have any extra sauce to slop around, it tastes very buttery.

All around 10/10 for the quick meal service and service...

The food itself was a mix. The tacos tasted great, salsa was ‘white person salsa’, so not bad but nothing special. The taco pizza was honestly a letdown. Completely different from the picture. A little bit burnt on one end. The crust was pretty good though. For those with a sensitive stomach to beef, I highly recommend avoiding the beef there. I ate one beef taco, and one slice of the taco pizza, and I’ve been nauseous for the last couple of hours since. It’s not enough to make me automatically think it’s food poisoning, but definitely assume it’s cheaper cuts of beef. I’ve ordered from them before, and had great experiences with their chicken. Maybe I just got a bad draw this...

TNT is Great!

You can call and order or you can order online, which we really love. From order to pick up, we’ve never waited any more than 20 minutes tops. (It’s a restaurant, things happen, also you don’t want to rush you food cooking, so obviously their wait times will vary.)

For the menu, our favorite is the steak bomb sub. Another tasty option is the chicken bacon ranch sub. They have those crunchy homemade fries, excellent with a little salt and vinegar!

The store itself has some sundries, chips and snacks, and they actually have a reasonable selection of beer and wine.

In my opinion, you can’t go...
