Sebago Brewing Company

Worst bar around, could be so cool but… it’s not! No «local» feel that you’d expect at a brew pub with a brick oven, c’mon owners, figure it out, I WANT THIS PLACE TO BE COOL! I’d start going here again if you could just breathe some youth, life into it!

Came here on a Friday at 11 pm night. Says open until 12 couldn’t get anything to drink. food was definitely microwaved. Waitstaff was rude will never go back! Not a chain really look up definition of chain terrible.

We went there the other night and it was the most unprofessional place I have ever been. When we first walked in the manager referred to the hostess as tater, talk about disrespectful. The beer is the only good thing there but I could get that a Walmart. The food is overpriced and disgusting. My dad ordered fish and chips it tasted like frozen fish, he had to scrape the grease off to make it edible. He needed a knife to eat his fries they where so hard. My mom had a baked haddock with a lemon garlic sauce. It was more like lemon garlic sauce with a side of haddock. All she could taste was garlic. Talk about nasty. I could get better food at Walmart deli. The only thing good here was our waitress Shauna and she was outstanding. We ended up sitting closer to the kitchen and all you could hear was the guy running the line screaming out orders. Overall the foods terrible and the beer is okay at best. Not waisting my money there again.

Absolutely awful. We ordered the meatloaf meal and wings. Meatloaf was dry. Gravy on top already hardened as if it was sitting for a while. Veggies were cold. Mashed potatoes were old and translucent. Wings were dry. Only ate 3 wings of the 12. Told our waitress and she asked if we wanted something else. No one apologized or tried to make it right. 66 dollars later we are still hungry and not impressed. I won’t be back here.

Service was a little slow but she was very busy and we had a big party. Food was good. Dumpling app and sauce was great. I got the st Patrick flat bread. I wish it had a bit more corn beef, but overall I enjoyed it very much! I will be returning to get some beers on tap.

Went there with my son. The food was good. I had a tuscan steak salad which was delicious my son had a pizza which was also good. We also have the soft pretzels as an appetizer those were delicious. I believe the waitress was probably fairly new she was not that great but she wasn’t horrible either. She was making an effort. It’s definitely pub food delicious but not super upscale, which is good.
The one complaint I would have is we sat in the dining room and it was very smokey because the brick oven is open and exposed to the dining room. You get used to it after a while.

JUST OK…
More of a restaurant than a brew pub. Very open and a little cold feeling. We were greeted by the hostes with a warm smile and the option to be seated in the dining area or seat ourselves in the pub. We choose the pub setting but after 8 — 10 minutes without being acknowledged we asked to be seated in the dining area. The pub had maybe 14 people in it, 8 at the bar and 6 at tables, not busy at all so no excuse for waiting to be served.
We also waited a few monutes for our waitress in the dining area but was pleased with her personality and efficient service when she arrived.
We ordered the beer sampler and split a ruben sandwich with onion rings. The food and service were eccellent but the beers fell short of full bodied craft beers. The Trout Stout did offer a rich flavor but the IPA, Ales and heffeweisse seemed to be over hopped or watered down.
We will try to locate a more friendly feeling pub for our next stop and hope our experience improves.
For a fair experience stop here, but for that true brew pub experience try elsewhere.
Remember, this is JOOFMO… just one old fat mans opinion solely, based on 60+ years of personal experiences.

Their potato nachos are really good.

We’ve been enjoying Sebago in both South Portland (or Scarborough, whichever) and Kennebunk since we moved to Maine in ’09. Back then I would have rated it 4 stars. Both of them, though, have taken a turn for the worst — menus have shifted, and absolutely not for the better.
I’ll keep going occasionally — I do love some of their beers — but their brewery competition in the ‘Port is crushing them from a food quality perspective.

OK, if I was just giving stars for the beers here, I would be giving away 5 stars. But you don’t need to travel to Kennebunk to experience the fine brews that Sebago Brewers are bottling and selling all over the USA, of course.
To be honest, I came here because Owen’s Farmhouse wasn’t open yet, and my guests needed to refresh before heading South to NH, so we decided to give it a try.
The food stinks, that’s all there is to it. We had a «flatbread» pizza, total MEH. I ordered fish-​n-​chips, and the fish was like Gorton’s of Gloucester frozen thick batter, GROSS! And the «chips» were hard-​fried nastiness. That’s two thumbs down, right there. And then they served my kids apple juice in little plastic bottles with reconstituted goat pee, all the way from Ireland! WTF! Who imports apple juice from Ireland, I ask of thee? That is what I call globalization gone wrong, word to the mother!
You know, this place reminds me of Federal Jack’s in «Taint Town», the other brew pub in K-​bunk. Both of them serve fantastic beer, both of them serve meh food at best. Of the two, Federal Jack’s has the better location. So why would I want to come to a nondescript, sterile little box on old Route 1 to eat bad food and drink brews that I can pick up at any packy in the whole state of Maine? That makes no sense, dig?

This is one of the few spots in town withe late night specials. Food I mediocre, but the beer is pretty good and if you catch the right drink specials it is a good deal. Tough to find those during tourist season.

When we walked in we were first confused if we should seat ourselves or if there was a hostess. We got the attention of the bartender who said we could sit anywhere in the lounge if we wanted. Being diabetic and feeling a low I totally bee lined it to a table. And bam! Our waitress was already greeting us with menus. Well hello there!
She returned within minutes to get our drink orders. She was efficient and I must say… As I was sipping the last of my drink and set my cup down she was already reaching for it and replacing it with a fresh one. Hello again! She was totally on it and it seemed effortless.
Friends of ours decided to share a dinner and she was thoughtful enough to bring them separate plates with the sandwich divided as well as the side. Hello again thoughtful!
This location is much like the others… Large bar with TVs playing sports (Socks v Yankees that night) and a separate quieter dining area. They brew their own beers but also have a nice selection of other drinks available.
For me, the stand out was our waitress and I wish I had gotten her name!

I might just be in love. I’m not sure how to describe this feeling inside. It’s a little bit butterflies, a little bit blushed cheeks, a little bit jaw-​dropping astonishment. When I think about my experience at Sebago last night, I get a funny, fluttery feeling in the pit of my stomach. If I could have, I may just have dropped to one knee and asked our waitress to marry me. I don’t mind sharing her with other patrons so long as she can be my waitress forever and always, through sickness and in health, through French fries and salads, local brews and lemon water.
Here’s how our fairy tale romance unfolded:
We sat ourselves in the bar/​lounge area and were promptly greeted by our waitress. I have to admit, I didn’t really pay much attention as she took our drink orders and then retreated. I didn’t even learn her name! Everything was going according to normal first date rules with a wait staff when she brought out our drink order and asked for our food. But then, somewhere between the NY/​Red Sox showdown on the four televisions around us and the delivery of our appetizers it happened. She swooped in and took me by surprise by refilling our drinks at the precise moment they were emptied. Could it be?! Could she be THE ONE? The waitress against whom all other waitresses would be judged? How else could she have slipped in so unobtrusively to swap out glasses? We were engaged in conversation and BAM! New drinks! She was an apparition. A beautiful apparition that can apparently carry a tray. I don’t know how this ghost stuff works but she did it and, in doing so, she claimed my heart.
And then, when my husband and I decided we wanted to split our meal, she thoughtfully brought out our food cut in half on two separate plates. When does that ever happen?! IT WAS AMAZING. Almost 24 hours later, I’m still thinking about her.
If you’re out there magical Sebago waitress, I love you.

Ok for starters, the brewery is really small and attached to a big restaurant. The bartender was slow, not friendly. I sat down, she handed me a beer menu, I looked at it and decided, she served someone else who came in after me, then checked out a take out order and disappeared to help him to his car. So, after about 15 minutes, she finally asks me what I want and I ordered a lake trout stout. I asked for a half pint, she said they don’t serve half pints, that I could get 5 5oz beers instead of a 16 oz beer… Hmm 20oz vs 16 oz. I told her to just put half a pint in a pint glass that I would to drink the full pint (I was driving and being responsible)… She said ok… Stocked the bar, left the bar yet again for some other reason, so I left sans beer.
I wanted to try this microbrewery, but they may be more of a food place than a beer place.

Beer was average nothing exceptional, 4 stars because beer was unique. And bartender was awesome. And beer is very fairly priced.

Monday night trivia at Sebago was so fun! We were looking for something to do while on vacation that would appeal to our whole family. The trivia night was perfect. The game was really well-​orchestrated and the questions spanned a variety of topics, so we all could participate. There was a great crowd of regulars there participating, so it was lively.
Be sure to get there before 7 (when it starts) so you can get a table or a seat at the bar. We were running late and ended up having dinner and drinks in the dining room. It wasn’t ideal for trivia, but we could hear OK. The food and drinks were good, but honestly I wasn’t paying that much attention because my attention was rapt. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

Sort of surprised at the low rating. The food is really pretty darn good and big portions to boot. I’ve certainly had worse food at sports bars and brewpubs. The beers I’ve had are all pretty solid too.
The feel of the place though is generically sterile. The main thing I’d change would be the atmosphere and better ventilation in the kitchen. Smoke was billowing out thus I left smelling like a grill.
Even after those minor complaints this is still worthy of 4 stars. I’d certainly come back to catch a game.

Maybe Billy Carter was thinking about Sebago when he said something like ‘There is no such thing as a bad beer. It’s that some taste better than others.’. Some beers here maybe taste better than others, the beers i tried were all pretty OK but sadly none were exceptional — I have had Sebago beers before in bottles and my memory of them was better than what i had at the brew pub…
for food I started with the warm pretzels (seemed to be coated with a stick of butter) and also had a falafel burger. it was OK.
This location was easy to get to off 95, and it was open late. Kinda feels like a chain strip mall restaurant and not a cool local brew pub.

Burgers & beer at the bar,
Excellent burgers with home made chips and large sweet potato fries on a soft pretzel roll along with IPA and Saddleback ale… Was able to sample some beers on tap from Chris the bar tender that night, he was fantastic! Yes a new building in the front of a strip mall, very clean with many TVs at the bar… 4 locations in Maine, will be back fer shure, ah yep…

visited in sept 2012 — friend’s wedding weekend.
arrived in town somewhere close to midnight; checked in and desperately looking for something warm to eat. then fiancé’s «gluten free app» pointed us here; it being one of the last places open at the ungodly hour, didn’t really have much of a choice.
classic pub fare. sat at the bar; lady bartender was nice, though they seemed to be cleaning up for the day. beer tab looked enticing; i ordered one along the amber lines, pretty good.
food… blah. not horrible, but not something to rave about. we do thank them for staying open that late, though.
