Came here on a recommendation. Glad we listened! Nice little spot with bar and table seating. Food was great, and my old fashioned hit the spot. Shawn was awesome, and the vintage vinyl records playing were on point! Go check this place out!

No reservations but worth the wait! Everything on the menu sounded delicious, and everything we ordered was just that. The cocktail menu was inventive, the draft list was extensive and had a little bit of everything. We sat at the bar and had a great bartender. The atmosphere is cozy with soft light and a wide range of fun music played from vinyl. If you get the chance, I highly recommend going.

Absolutely amazing food. One of the best fish and chips we’ve had in all our years in America. We tend to order it whenever it is on the menu because we enjoyed it often living in New Zealand. The batter is crispy and thin and the cod is soft. The mussels were very good as well,, nice size and plump and cooked to perfection (mussels are also another food we are snobs about coming from New Zealand). We also had the strip steak which had these amazing radishes. The portions were just right and the price is very reasonable and the wait staff is very attentive and helpful with the beer recommendations. We will come back here the next time we come up to Maine!

Fresh, fun and fabulous. They execute excellence. The music pairs perfectly with the atmosphere. Get the daily deviled eggs and pickles. Try a new beverage and be prepared for your meal to knock your socks off.

Can’t believe I’ve lived in kittery for almost 10 years and this was my first visit. We came pretty late at night and got a seat immediately. The food was incredible and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a great night, they let my friend sample wine and we tried a few appetizers, duck, fritters and deviled eggs. The cod entrée with risotto was a must experience meal. It was quiet and an absolutely great girls night out. Our new go-to

The Black Birch is one of my all time favorites. We were lucky enough to get right in with a party of 3 at 630pm on a beautiful Saturday which is usually unheard of for most of the restaurants in downtown Kittery.
Gavin who runs FOH is also an owner is always pleasant and friendly chatting with guest while seating or waiting to be seated.
There’s always a great selection of beers on tap and a range of appetizers, small plates, large plates, entrees and desserts prepared with fresh, local ingredients. The Black Birch is best with a group that enjoys sharing so you can try a little bit of everything across the whole menu.
The house pickles and devil’s eggs are a must!

Not even done with our meal yet but I have to rave about our duck rilette. We’ve also ordered a few beers and cocktails, the deviled eggs, house meat plate and the poutine. Everything has been great thus far.
Update: everything is still fantastic!
Update #5 or so at this point? Yep still a must dine.

A pretty great draft beer list and even better foooood!
Travel buddy & I shared the duck confit poutine, a grilled cheese w split pea soup, and chocolate cardamom “cake” (which was actually more like a slice of fluffy ganache – killer!) – all 100% delightful.
