"Great Maine Resort Since 1947"

Outstanding Maine Resort Dining
Get your just desserts! Our Maine resort is widely known for serving outstanding premium home-cooked meals in a relaxed and congenial setting. Our menu items reflect their “Down East” origins and are expertly prepared with the highest quality ingredients. All of our meals are served in the good old-fashioned “family style” tradition. This is superior to conventional restaurant dining in that our entrees are presented on the table in large bowls and platters and guests are free to serve themselves. This ensures that your food is always plentiful and hot, and that you get precisely what you want…just like a fancy meal at home.

Dinner - We offer our guests the traditional home cooked dinners that have always been the cornerstone of our unique dining experience. The entrees include Ribeye Steaks, Roast Loin of Pork, Pot Roast of Beef , BBQ Chicken with Fettuccine Alfredo, Baked Ham with Pineapple Sauce, and a Sunday “Thanksgiving style” turkey dinner. All of our dinners are complimented with crisp salads, tasty side dishes, our ever popular home baked oatmeal bread, pastries, and pies…all of which are “home made” and baked fresh daily. All fountain drinks and coffee are also included, and if you “BYOB”, we’ll provide the glasses.

Lunch - We are one of only a handful of lodges that take the time to prepare a hearty hot lunch for our American Plan guests each day.  These excellent dishes are prepared with accompanying desserts. Examples include: Turkey Pot Pie with Biscuits, Beef Stew, Hot Pork Sandwiches, and American Chop Suey (Goulash). These are especially appreciated on cooler days in the early and late fishing seasons (quality packed lunches prepared if requested) and ensure that you are finished eating and back out on the water in short order. See menu below for further details.

Breakfast - The morning menu includes a great variety of options. Examples include eggs cooked any style, pancakes, blueberry pancakes, French toast, breakfast meats like ham, sausage, and bacon, homemade oatmeal bread toast, a variety of juices, cereals if desired, and plenty of good hot coffee or tea.

** Exception to the above meal plan: From June 11-July 6, and Sept 8-11, substitute a packed lunch for the hot lunch. Packed lunches include a quality sandwich of your choice, usually ham, roast beef, pork, turkey, tuna, or BLT. They also include chips, cookies or brownies, etc., and a large soda of your choice.

On Wednesday evening we serve our popular Roast Loin of Pork dinner.

However, during the summer season there are two additional dinner options available to our guests on Thursday and Friday: 1) Ribeye steaks, or 2) Grilled Atlantic Salmon in dill/butter sauce (note that a moderate mark-up will be added for selection of these non-traditional options, and they must be scheduled in advance). On Saturday we serve our famous Pot Roast of Beef and on Sunday our big “Thanksgiving Style” Turkey Dinner (the only dinner served at 12:30 pm during the week, all other meals are served at 6 pm).  If you are at the Lodge on Monday and Tuesday dinners include Cheesy Meat Lasagna on Monday and Southern Style BBQ Pork Ribs on Tuesday.  All of our entrees are complimented with crisp salads, tasty side dishes, pastries or pies. In addition, most of our meals are highlighted by our ever popular oatmeal bread which is baked fresh daily.

Ordered the day before when possible, breakfast includes eggs cooked any style, pancakes, French toast, breakfast meats like ham, sausage, and bacon, homemade oatmeal bread toast, a variety of juices, cereals if desired, and plenty of good hot coffee or tea.

Note that our summer restaurant is different from a conventional “menu item” restaurant in that all of our meals are served “family style”. This means that the entrees (all except steak & Atlantic salmon), side dishes and salads are kept filled in large bowls/platters on the table for self service, and homemade bread, bottomless hot and cold drinks, and dessert are all included in the one meal price. When meals are served in this manner, your food is always plentiful and hot, and you get precisely what you want…just like a fancy meal at home.

Dinner Options - Wednesday through Sunday we offer the traditional home cooked dinners which are the cornerstone of our unique dining experience. The entrees include Ribeye Steaks, Roast Loin of Pork, Pot Roast of Beef , BBQ Chicken with Fettuccine Alfredo, Baked Ham with Pineapple Sauce, and a Sunday “Thanksgiving style” turkey dinner (the only dinner served at 12:30 pm, the rest are served at 6 pm). During the 2006 season, Thursday and Friday nights will again include three entrees instead of just one to pick from. Thursday’s menu will include ribeye steak or grilled Atlantic salmon or the chicken option, and Friday’s menu will include ribeye steak or grilled Atlantic Salmon or the baked ham option. All of our dinners are complimented with crisp salads, tasty side dishes, and our ever popular home baked oatmeal bread, pastries, and pies…all of which are baked fresh daily.

* All dinners are served promptly at 6:00 pm, except for Turkey Dinner on Sunday which is served promptly at 12:30 pm. Kids 12 and under are $2.00 off the adult price (except for steak and salmon meals which are the full adult price). Also breakfast and lunch is not offered, and dinner on Monday and Tuesday is not offered, except for those guests on the American Plan.
