I’m so glad we stopped here. I am also glad we did it on our last day of vacation. This little brew house is amazing. Run by real Friars that cook and tend the bar. My humongous lobster roll was a full pound of lobster. I have to say it was the best lobster roll I’ve ever had. It was also the first time I left a table for lobster and was truly full. The Mac and cheese dishes were delicious as well. I can’t wait to visit again next trip.

Had a short wait, but it was well worth it. We sat at the back corner table with a view of the water and a nice breeze. The hot shrimp dip was so amazing it had whole shimps, not just pieces of shrimp. I had the Tourtiere du Vieux- Quebec and my husband had the Baguette Banh Mi. Both were excellent. The portions were large and we had even had leftovers. We also got a nice serving of blueberry cobbler to go. The service was great and prices are reasonable. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

Friday lunch

Waitress Kimberly is awesome.

Food is so good and so much!

Had the Lobster Roll, flight of beer and individual pours, Baguette Bahn Mi, Hamburger, Pork Pie, Chowder, flight of beer – loved it all !! Fresh food ! Ordered a loaf of bread to go.

Everything was absolutely delicious. Be prepared to come and spend several hours. All of the food is made by hand, “from the ground up”. You can’t rush perfection.

Nothing is small.

It was an exceptional experience.We had to wait about 15 minutes to get a seat and we chose to sit over at the bar as the seating was full.If you wanna catch some great jokes from the friars,the bar is the best spot to be .The ambiance of the taproom was cozy and comfortable and had a relaxed vibe.
The attention to detail and the passion for creating exceptional seafood dishes were evident in every bite.The lobster roll itself was toasted to perfection, providing a nice crunch that complemented the softness of the lobster.The seafood chowder was equally exceptional. It was rich, creamy, and packed with an abundance of fresh seafood.

Amazing service and food! We enjoyed the clam chowder-this is a must have! As well as the lobster roll. Both were incredible. We split the roll and it was more than enough for the 2 of us! So glad we stopped in!

This was such an incredible meal.

DO NOT BE DETERRED BY THE ATMOSPHERE. What this place lacks in welcoming staff and atmosphere it 100% redeems itself with the food and beer.

I was immediately turned off by this place due to the decorations, religious themes and staff. However after a few min of settling in and understanding the waitresses humor, I warmed up quite a bit. I ordered the seafood chowder and my boyfriend got the lobster roll. Holy monastery were these both incredible. Brother don greeted us and chatted pleasantly as we finished our meal. We are really touched by the homeyness and charm that we left after enjoying this place for an early lunch. Definitely a highlight and DO go out of your way to enjoy this food. Obey the rules and don’t make any substitutes to your order. They know what’s best for you.

This unique nook in Bucksport is worth the trip even if you have no other reason to come to this town, though, there are plenty, considering the amazing bridge with its observatory, Fort Knox, and plenty of nearby hiking and beach opportunities.

That said, welcome to The Friar Brewhouse, a Mainstreet Americana style diner that is slightly unhinged from level parallels to make it more interesting but not enough to distress.

The staff is personal, with great character that is movie worthy, and complementary to the setting. Food choices may seem a bit bland in writing but, I assure you, are nothing but the best possible example of each.
I, for one, do not like to order pasta dishes, especially not Mac and Cheese, because I believe them to be of poor value for my money.
Well, I was here with my boys, gave in to Mac and Cheese, and loved every bite of it.

We also had a burger that disappeared before I could take a picture for a good reason and a sandwich that was also surprisingly delicious.
I will, 100%, come back for seconds.

Very friendly atmosphere, and staff. The beer is definitely unique and delicious. The soup was like home-made and the bagette sandwiches reminded me of time spent in Europe. A very enjoyable experience.

The portions were incredibly large. We will definitely go again as there are so many items on the menu we’d like to try.

Best lobster roll we tried in Maine, and we had about 5 – big chunks of claw meat instead of shreds and served in a house baked brioche bun. Deserts were outstanding. Nice beer flight.
