Fredericka's Restaurant And The Loose Moose Bar Grille

Went here for take out after a long hot day of climbing Katahdin. They were super busy but the food came out hot and fresh, everything tasted like it came from scratch. They even gave us a sauce for the fries that was awesome! The wait was a little long, but they had a sign at front saying they were understaffed(who isn?t these days), warning guests who might be in a rush, so it wasn?t an issue.

Excellent food and drinks. Great service from friendly staff. Scallops street beets were the highlight tonight but the burgers are always delicious!

Great cheese quality and fresh, also one of the freshest and best Caesar salad I’ve ever had, they serve Non Alcoholic IPA’s. The rooftop is pretty cool, this is a great place to grab some grub after a hike. Very peaceful, enjoyable atmosphere and great costumer service. Millinocket, ME.

I was staying in the area and saw that they had live music and decided to try the Loose Moose. Let's say there were a few opportunities with my experience.Vibe: It's a cute bar grill nothing fancy, but comfortable. The music was good and the two guys playing built a good rapport with the audience. I was much more happy to be there than in the main restaurant Fredericka's Restaurant. Only because I was looking for a chill night and didn't want to be in a more formal environment.Service: Let me begin by saying the bartender/server was super efficient and I didn't have to wait around for anything. With that said, she was doing the brunt of the work. There were a couple of girls helping out, but clearly a bit green and they needed some more training. (And I would note that one of them was eating French Fries behind the bar in front of customers and not washing her hands in between) As I sat at the bar and had a front row seat, one of the cooks came out a couple of times with questions on orders, but had to wait for my server/bartender to get their questions answered. Part of the issue was, she was running between the bar and Fredericka's.Food: Where do I begin outside of disappointed. I had the Grilled Cheese Panini. Cheese yes it had cheese, Grilled not even close, as pale as pale can be, Panini I think this was a thought at one time, but they clearly didn't use a true Panini press. The sandwich came with chips, but I was asked if I wanted to substitute French Fries and I eagerly did. However, when the bill came, it wasn't a substation but a side order of French Fries. I am certainly accustomed to paying an up charge for fries these day, but not just getting a full side of fries. Loose Moose shares the same menu with Fredericka's and you can order off of their specials menu as well. I would have considered this, however, the specials menu didn't have any prices on it. I am not sure why a restauranteur would do this.There aren't many choices in the area, unfortunately. Perhaps next time I will just cook at my camp.Date of visit: 12 July 2023
