I told you yesterday how we were camping and at a shoe making retreat, well the class ended Sunday morning so after all that work we were ready for a drink and a lunch out! We found ourselves in Belfast Maine and while walking along the water front we came across Front Street Pub!
We opted to sit outside as they have a dog friendly patio and it was a gorgeous Maine day! We started with our drinks. Jim got a Corona beer and I had their Rum punch. Both drinks hit the spot after a long few days!
Front Street Pub does offer local craft beer on tap along with house infused liquor. They also have happy hour with food specials.
Jim was in the mood for some shrimp to start our lunch so that’s what we ordered to share! We ordered fried shrimp with cocktail sauce (10.99). These shrimp were delicious, crispy but light at the same time. I don’t always like cocktail sauce but the sauce they served was just right, a little tart, a slight bit sweet and paired perfectly with the fried shrimp. Great start to our lunch!
For my main course I ordered the Haddock basket served with French fries and coleslaw along with tartar sauce on the side (13.99). When the dish was put down in front of me all I could say is WOW! My first thought was how big this fish was and how in the world could I possibly eat it all! The haddock was just as tasty as the shrimp. It was crispy and flakey and so tender. I dipped the haddock in the tartar sauce and each bite was perfection! The French fries were nothing to laugh about. The fries were crispy and tender and served hot out of the fryer. I also had a side of coleslaw although it was good it was not my favorite, I have learned I am picky when it comes to slaw and there is one particular restaurant in NH that has my favorite. I would order this dish any day of the week! Overall everything was excellent!
Although they do have hamburgers on the menu Jim surprisingly ordered the haddock sandwich with lettuce, tomato, onion and tartar sauce. This also came with fries. (13.99).
Jim’s eyes got big when he saw the size of that sandwich but he was up for the challenge! Jim loved his sandwich, he said the fry on it was just right, crispy and flakey just as mine was. He enjoyed the fries as much as I did. Those fries are also Nazzy approved!
