My title for this review should not be read to be a denigration of the wonderful town of Millinocket, which is doing some amazing things to cope with a very challenging economic climate. It is just that one expects to find restaurants like Frederikaâs (affiliated with the Big Moose Inn and, for some reason, on Tripadvisor it is not easy to find unless you look up âLoose Moose Inn Bar & Grill) and River Drivers in major centres such as New York, Boston, Paris, and London (and yes, my wife and I have both been blessed to eat at fine restaurants in all these locations), not Millinocket. This said, you owe it to yourself to visit and partake in the menu.Chef Matteo (who has been there for 17 years) is consistently changing up the menu with seasonal and daily menu changes so it is not easy to recommend any one particular dish. This said, we have been going there (from Canada) for about 13 or 14 years and we have yet to be disappointed.In our most recent visit on the 12th of July my wife had the duck and I had the ribeye special. I must confess to not being a big fan of ribeye but was assured it would be worth it at Frederikaâs and I was certainly assured! The ribeye was flavourful, tender, with a jus that was delicious. Coupled with the salsa accompanying the ribeye and I was thoroughly sated.My wife had the duck and, she too, was completely pleased with the result of a duck that was full of flavour, tender, and the grilled Romaine lettuce was an extra treat due to its texture and flavour.One of the things I like, both about Frederikaâs and River Drivers restaurants, is the relaxed atmosphere and the lack of pomp and circumstance (although I do expect one could get this if one were booking a special event). Frederikaâs was comfortable and intimate and a wonderful place for dinner. The one area in which both restaurants are not relaxed concerns the quality and presentation of the food. World class all the way!!Make a point to get to Millinocket and check out these fantastic places to eat. While there, plan to visit Baxter State Park and definitely check out Mount Katahdin which has kept me coming back for approximately 29 years.Enjoy!!!

Boatmans is a wonderful summer stop! Only open during summer months, offering really good food. We don't do the bar thing, so I can't rate the drinks, but their specials are awesome and this is a kid friendly place. Every night is a different special, all you can eat taco Tuesday; buy one pizza get one fee Wednesday, etc. Good vegan choices and one of the best hamburgers I've eaten in this part of Maine! Pool table the kids can use, video game and lots of fun night stuff for the adults, like luau night. It's also home to one of the local rafting companies, so you can camp and whitewater raft if you choose.Thank you so much for the review! We really appreciate it and the mention of our rafting and campground is super. My personal favorite is Taco Tuesday! Thanks again and we hope to see you back again and again!

3. Blue Ox Saloon

As others have already said, this Saloon is a treat. It has an old-world feel atmosphere and the greeting is always warm. It is one of those place where you join the locals at the counter, order a drink and start a conversation. You'll lean a lot about the area in its hayday and the challenges of the present. And they'll want to know about you, where you are from and why you are visiting. I went as a reluctant companion for others keen to go. I left as a convert.
4. Turn the Page Bookstore and Wine Bar
Full restaurant offering fresh Maine seafood, new American food, Mexican food, and plenty of specials and desserts. Local wines, local craft beers, foreign wines.

The restaurant is a log structure with heavy log chairs and tables, with rustic charm. Oddly the photo on the Facebook page shows different furniture. The books on the shelves around the restaurant add to the ambience. We arrived at 2:30 for lunch, and there were two other tables occupied. The one server was helpful in answering questions and very attentive. One person had the Reuben and said it was delicious. Everything was prepared on site. The vegan had a garden salad with house made balsamic vinaigrette and French fries. Both were delicious. For vegans there is a black bean burger and a hummus plate, but they were out of hummus the day we visited. I wish there had been a side of vegetables of some kind but that wasn't offered at any restaurant we checked in Millinocket. We would eat here again and recommend it.
