I Have passed by this place a few times and it was always full and looked inviting. So today I made it a mission to stop by for lunch. First impression: excited to be here. There weren't many visitors yet so I was expecting to be served quickly. That wasn't the case. A bit of a wait for my meal. What I ordered for my tasting meal: a cheeseburger, small fries, chili dog and a strawberry lemonade. The cheeseburger was good. It came with raw onions, pickles and cheese. I added avocado and it was actually tasty. Good size. The chili dog I did not like. The hot dog itself was too salty to swallow. The chili had beans. I never have chili with beans on my hot dog. What could it mean? Maybe it was not homemade. I threw mine away. The small fries were great, a perfect small portion,

The Main Moose is a fantastic spot for great food and family fun! I had a delicious, freshly grilled burger that totally hit the spot. The menu has something for everyone—seafood platters, lobster rolls, sandwiches, salads, and more. The hardest part was choosing an ice cream flavor with so many tempting options! The Moose Sluice (panning for stones) was a blast and such a fun, unique activity. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I even bought a t-shirt to remember my time there. Can’t wait to go back!

My parents talk about this place all the time. So we had to check it out. Outside restaurant with plenty of seating and even outside games for the kids. The service was fantastic and the food was even tasty but the mistakes. We ordered a Moosemac burger and the breakfast burger. I asked for no bread on my breakfast burger and a side salad with no peppers and onions. Told them allergy alert. My burger came out with lettuce as the bun which was awesome but my salad had onions all over it. My fiance burger didnt even have mac n cheese on it. Was just a regular burger and they forgot his fries. We didn't say anything because it was so busy but we def didnt get what we paid for but was very tasty and we enjoyed what we did get. The service was awesome. The cashier even helped me bring my stuff

We hit this spot on the way home from a day of hiking and I'm so glad we did. It's so nice to find great little places when you're driving around. They had plenty of seat yourself tables out of the sun with a covered area and tables with umbrellas. You order at a window and get a buzzer to pick up your food. The food and ice cream windows were separate. We didn't have to wait long at all and the food was good, the fries especially were cooked perfectly and had such good flavor. Husband and boy got chili dogs and I got steak and cheese that I could only eat half of so husband finished it, so filling but so delicious, and also we had to try the ice cream. Which was absolutely worth trying, I got the graham cracker ice cream with chocolate covered honey bits and boy got cookie dough and husb
