Barnhouse Grill & Pub Wiscasset — Restaurant in Wiscasset

EAT HERE!! OMG EAT HERE!!! I took my daughters today. The atmosphere is so relaxed. This is the first time in a long time I have left a restaurant feeling so completley satisfied from the food I ate. The Taco salad shell alone is to die for. I haven't eaten a shell like that since I was a teenager and visited Portland. My daughter loves ground beef tacos. Nobody sells ground beef tacos but Barnhouse. This is the first time in Maine that she has devoured a taco & a half out in public. She RAVED about the tacos. I wish I was better with words at describing food. All I can say is my stomach was satisfied & my heart was happy. I even asked to speak with the owner to compliment them on their menu. I wish the Barnhouse was closer to home. Maybe it's better that it's not because I'd be broke all the time. Hopefully these photos speak better than my words.

Our waitress was fantastic!!! The food was delicious!! The French fries and onion rings portions were large & tasted amazing. I couldn't get enough of them. Especially the French fries. I thought the portion of the ribs would be a little larger. They were melt off the bone good but a little to much BBQ sauce for my own taste. I would have loved more cole slaw. It was served in a very small metal condiment bowl. My mom enjoyed the steak & cheese. Her only complaint was that some of the steak was burnt. I would definitely visit this restaurant again. Even for the French...

This place is honestly the best place in striking distance of Portland for pub food and a cold drink. My burger was excellent nice and juicy cooked perfectly just how I asked. My fiance had a country fried steak which was also super good very well seasoned and tender. The sides were also very good the mashed potatoes were very good nice and creamy with just a little chunk left in them. And the bacon cheese fries were some of them the best I've ever had they didn't have that crappy plastic cheese and frozen bacon bits, they had and actual cheese sauce with real bacon chunks with nice crispy fries. Our server was initially a little different but added to the charm of the place, he was very caring and definitely actually cared about his customers. He even went so far as to ask me how my coke tasted because the machine was running out and was willing to go immediately change out the syrup just to grab me a new drink, but the coke was just fine to me. There's no shortage of things to look at inside the restaurant it's comfy and cozy with that old school country vibe. Pricing was worth the quality and portion size. Definitely will tell my friends at work about this one and I'll be craving it until the next...

Edit: update 01Feb2021 - we gave it another try! service 100%, bartenders and cocktails 100%, food 90% - order maple bacon bone-in wings, best wings ever! Choctini and pineapple martini perfect. Steak and cheese sandwich good, fries good. Henhouse burger good. Fried pickes good. Would come back again. Much improvement since they first opened.

Previous review: Bartender didn’t know how to make any of the specialty cocktails they advertise on Facebook. Waitress didn’t have the cocktail list, and instead of printing one, they repeatedly told customers they don’t have one. Steak burrito was misleading and made with shaved steak, no big deal I guess. But the Caribbean jerk chicken was served without chicken, when it was corrected, it still was not Caribbean jerk chicken as the waitress has described. Just chunks of chicken, and Caribbean sauce on top of the burrito. And the $9 salsa appetizer with queso tasted like melted Kraft cheese singles that fully hardened within just a couple of minutes. It’s very low quality food, and the service is messy. It’s new, so can dismiss the poor service, but the quality of the food is...
