Thirsty Moose Cafe - Machias

We were looking for a place to stop and we finally found this. Doesn't look like much from the outside but it is certainly interesting inside with all the stuff on the walls. Loved the guitars on the one wall, of course. Seems like more of a local pub/watering hole but we were there in the afternoon and it was pretty quiet. Typical fare for a place like this but the staff were friendly and it was comfortable and very relaxed. We had the all day breakfast and the Moose Burger (needed a break from all the seafood honestly). Our food was prepared quickly and was excellent. Everything was prepared just to our liking and fresh. Our sever was great too. Recommend stopping here for sure.

Best Haddock burger that I've found yet from Ellsworth to Eastport. Excellent fries. My sample of my wife's burger was also very good. Sometimes slow service and understaffed but after 3 visits over the past 2 years, it's my go-to for a good Haddock burger. IPA's on tap is a definite plus. ?

Good food and good people run the restaurant. Two thumbs up

Great place to eat realy good food. Just lacking in the bar department thay close erly .but if your looking for a place to have a beer and eat some good food would absolutely recommend ?

I am giving two stars. The first experience I had here was when I moved to Machias for college, and it was wonderful. I sat in and ate. The second time, I got take out. I paid a LOT for my meal, like way overpriced, and it was burnt and dry. It also was UPSIDE DOWN in the takeout container in the bag…. That was NOT okay. It made all of the food go everywhere and it was hard to enjoy it. The atmosphere also isnt welcoming like you walk in and its not attentive. I understand places are understaffed etc but the customer service is by far lacking. Also I understand it is a bar but college girls please be careful around this area some of the people have been specifically creepy and hit on me as a barely adult. One of them got mad i wouldnt have a drink with them. Im not of age at all. Wont be going back.
