North Deering Tavern — Restaurant in Portland

So this is our second visit in there our first visit was like OK, but we thought we’d given another try and knowing that it was the former owner of Samuel’s, which we used to go to all the time we thought let’s try to give the local business another try, we went N with friends who are visiting from Florida and we ordered a large chicken nacho, Wings, and a large pretzel we had four drinks, and I have to tell you that the nachos were the absolute worst nachos we have ever tasted in our entire life. It was a big bowl of nachos with raw onions, underneath peppers and loads of jalapeño peppers, which were fine, but there was a cover of cheese over the top of them, and once that was done, there was no cheese mixed in underneath it all so it was like a big bowl of nacho chips. It was honestly the absolute worst we have ever tasted in our entire life. The pretzel must’ve been cooked way longer than it should’ve because it was like a hard pretzel from a bag of pretzels rather than a soft pretzel I asked if they had the pub cheese they said no we only serve it with honey mustard I said OK then the wings came out and you would’ve needed a chainsaw to get through those wings because they were so burnt the drinks we ordered very simple drinks, vodka with lemonade, which you could barely taste the vodka. We ordered a margarita with a sugar rim, and the margarita you could barely even taste The tequila in it, and my wife had a drink off the menu and she said the same thing that it was terrible and the other woman had just a regular iced tea, which was fine. This honestly was just an absolute terrible experience to bring these friends from Florida here thinking you know it’s got really good pub, food, blah, blah blah blah blah it was just terrible. It honestly truly was absolutely terrible. To spend $85 and then leave a $16 tip for the woman who was absolutely fantastic. The service was great. She did a really nice job in checking with us constantly to see if all of our needs were met. It was certainly not worth what we paid And not really sure if we will go back to this establishment again and it’s very unfortunate because we like to support...

Awful food!!Service wasn't the best in what they wear to serve..Jean cutting offs and shredded tshirt..converse sneakers..dirty..I hate to do this but I was soooo pissed..it was Joe and I..we haven't been out to eat in a while..AND it was my Birthday..Soo..just saying..it was awful tasting..cornbread hash I swear was mixed up through a grinder..it was served warm and pink in color. Nasty..really bad..the home fries were greasy blackish in color and hard..cold..gross...water was served with NO ice..I mean im beside myself quitting this..Again..it was a bi et day breakfast from my hubby..I picked to go there..it was lousy and this was on my Google things to do ..a chance to voice my opinion about that breakfast there..sorry..I only am speaking the truth..others might like it..but..I don't...

We've been three or four times since Samuel's closed. This time we ordered a 10 tender basket and only got 7 lol... Which is a problem if you're expecting two people to get 5 each and it costs $17. 7 wings (supposed to be 10) for 17 bucks. Crikey mate. They're also breaded differently than the other times and a bit dry. They were busy, it happens, but it stinks.

The time before this I forgot to mention buffalo in the order and got plain wings, which is technically on me, but I've never not been asked for the sauce.

The two times before were fine. The fries are always good.

I miss my tendies basket from Samuel's. They were always so good, consistent, and reliable. You also got a lot more food for the same or a little less $. These tendies are about...
