Smoke and Steel

For Parents with Allergies/gluten-free in family, This is a fantastic place to go! They are very transparent in their ingredients and cooking methods. They will even go above and beyond to make sure your allergy needs are met. For example, they notified us that their fries are used in same oil as the chicken. They offered to heat fries in the oven as an alternative method to meet allergy needs! The manager here is absolutely involved with her restaurant! She has worked every front-of-house role during our visit from hosting to waiting tables. She really cares for her guests and I appreciate a hard working manager. A very well run restaurant! The food was AMAZING! We had the brisket and half chicken. The brisket was so tender and cooked to perfection. The chicken was moist and flavorful. Also!!!!! They have an area where the kids can play while the adults can hold a decent conversation (as many parents know what that is like with kids at the table). And also, did I mention, they have an axe throwing area!!! Forget your billards (pool) or dart throwing restaurants. Try throwing an axe at the target! They also have a decent bar area for those that are looking for a drink after work or out with friends. You know, I must say, it was hard finding a restaurant that I liked in Bangor, ME. I finally found one and truly enjoy everything about the place. Kind of left me with a nostalgic feeling of what a TRUE AMERICAN restaurant was like before America had taken a turn for the worst these past few years. Will definitely be going back for many years to come God-willing.
