I like this place a little better than the one in Portland. It’s not quite as consistently mobbed like the other location. I’m still not a fan of Gritty’s beer, but the food is good, and the service seems to be pretty solid. I frequently stop in after work and grab a quick bite. The Black Fly Stout isn’t bad.

From the ambiance to the food to the service everything was perfectly average.

We visit Freeport every year in the Fall just to visit Gritty’s. We love the meatloaf and rueben and of course the beer. We also travel to Portland and other area breweries and it makes a great trip.

When in Freeport and after a long day of shopping at LL Bean, don’t miss one more stop at Gritty’s

Great food, great beer, homestyle service and seating. Very local very fun.

Établissement visité le 6 juillet vers 14h30. Ambiance: Longue table avec banc, style cabane à sucre. Radio en sourdine et télévision sur les murs. Terrasse disponible. Service: Correct sans plusé Sélection: 7 fûts maisons disponible lors de mon passage. Nourriture: Nous avons pris un combo Lobster Roll + Clam Chowder et le Mediterranean Lamb Burger. Le burger était sans goût. (102e rating d’établissement)

Wood-floored pub with a handful of house brews and Maine locals. The house brews, being Ringwood jobs, have too much diacetyl, but are otherwise competent (as long as you don’t get a fruit beer, which you have to expect will suck and does). Didn’t eat - went to the Naked BBQ place down the street (which also has some decent brews on tap).

Old, run-down tavern on the side of the road that is potentially depressing but still has some character. Cool mural on the wall blessing the mothers of all brewers. Looks like they have some nice outdoor seating by a little creek if you go during the day. If you’re staying in the area it’s worth a go, of course. Our hotel was right down the road, and Freeport is pretty close to Portland and has decent outlet shopping especially if you need outdoorsy stuff.

What a dump! We went to Gritty’s in Auburn the day before and it was awesome so we figured this place would be too, WRONG. Don’t bother stopping here because it ain’t Gritty’s.

Bland atmosphere...terrible bartenders...bad parking lot and difficult to turn out of on a busy day. A sad compliment to Gritty’s outstanding location in Old Port. Do not waste your time.
