The Dogfish Bar and Grille 128 Free Street, Portland, ME 04101

"I believe that this place has something for everyone. I tend to gravitate to familiar restaurants and this one is definitely one of my favorites. Their food, service, spirits, and atmosphere are all very pleasant. I even enjoy going to their live music nights. I've heard people call it a hole in the wall, but I'd rather it be called a diamond in the rough."

"Started out waiting 10-15 min for our waitress to come for our drink orders. By the time she came, we were ready to order our food but she told us that she "had things to do" so she could only take our drink orders. Wrong drinks. Waited more, placed orders. Food was good but definitely overpriced...$30 for 2 sandwiches and water! Waited forever to get the check, and she was busy talking to her coworker and didn't see us trying to wave to her. Never refilled drinks. It wasn't even busy. If we hadn't gone through such a hassle to find and pay for parking, we would have left when she refused to take our order. The food was good, so that's why I even gave 2 stars."

"We're visiting Portland, Maine from Portland, Oregon, where we enjoy the best micro breweries in the country AND the best burgers! BUT the burger I ate tonight at The Dogfish Bar and Grill was not only cooked to perfection (medium rare for me), the flavors of complimenting condiments with a pile of fresh romaine lettuce on a gluten free bun, won my heart over."

"This is an awesome place and totally worth the walk up the hill from the main beat. The Dogfish Bar and Grille was unique with atmosphere, crowd and fantastic music. I would highly recommend it. Prices were great as well. Staff very friendly and witty too."
