Springvale Publick House

In all the best part was our waitress… She was so very kind and always made sure we had drinks. My boyfriend had the pulled pork sandwich and it was very disgustingly covered in grease and was flavorless. I was upset to find out that they did not have regular ranch and only had chipotle ranch. I came to the same problem when I was eating my chicken tenders the honey mustard had horse radish in it and was very grossly overwhelming. It seems like they are trying to cover lack of flavoring with spicy sauces. I probably will never willingly go again

We would like to have been able to review the food. However– we were told that «they do not put tables together» and our party of five could «squash» around a four top. But — if we could wait twenty minutes (the place was almost empty) then we could sit at a table that would accommodate five.
The party of ten must have been seated by magical unicorns. This is the only way the tables could have gotten together. The other numerous empty four tops were clearly inhabited by ghosts visible only to the wait staff.
Our party had to leave narnia in search of a magical establishment that could seat odd numbered parties and has the supernatural ability to push wooden tables together.
We went to Backstreet and had a nice odd numbered person lunch.
We wish future travelers better luck– or the courage to leave the weak behind so that they may dine in even numbers only.

My boys both good eaters love coming here. This was the steak with their hand cut ff– food is always good, nicely prepared and the staff is so friendly
This is our favorite

Springvale Publick House is a great hangout! We like to come here for the onion petals! The batter is so light and crispy but not greasy! My kids like the chicken fingers and haddock. The breading is fresh and crispy!

It’s always busy because it’s always a great meal. Best sample features to get in my opinion — hand cut french fries, homemade pies, french dip and buffalo wings. Everything is good though.

Our waitress helped us with the menu and when we couldn’t decide between the homemade sweet pub chips or fries, she gave us our order, with a couple chips on the side! We also ordered nachos which were crisp and delicious. Fries were AMAZING.

Overall: ⁹⁄₁₀
This is one of my favourite local places to eat. Everything is good and you can’t complain about the pricing.
Atmosphere: ⁸⁄₁₀
It’s a nice cozy little place. It can get a little loud at times but it has a nice energy. The menus and tables are clean. If I drop some food on the table I’ll still eat it without fear of catching some rare and un-​treatable disease.
Service: ⁹⁄₁₀
I’m a frequent flier and I’ve never gotten less than stellar service. The waitstaff is friendly, happy to chat, will go out of their way to make you happy, and they make the place very welcoming and pleasant. Tip your waitress well here, they earned it.
The Food: ⁹⁄₁₀
Everything here is good. The burgers are juicy, the mac and cheese is cheesy, and the shepard’s pie is to die for. The fries taste good, the sweet potato fries are delightful (though sometimes they can be a little soft), fried pickles are among the best I’ve had, but the real MVP is the onion petal. Humble yet bold, you can’t go wrong with the onion petal.
The Value: ⁸⁄₁₀
Some things can be a little on the pricey side compared to their portions, but the quality makes up for it. The more expensive items are forgivable and some items have great value (have I mentioned the onion petals?). The prices are in no way a turn off. I leave satisfied every time I go there, and it’s hard to put a price on satisfaction.
But don’t let me tell you what to do. I’m not your mom.

We were looking for a place close to home for lunch and this popped up with a ton of 5 star ratings. Had to check it out for ourselves and everyone was right, a definite 5 star restaurant! Everything was perfect and the beer selection was phenomenal! We can’t wait to go back!

Had a Blue-​cheese burger and pub fries — Large portions and delicious, My medium burger was thick and pink, cooked to perfection!
The large selection of brews on tap sealed the deal.
First rate food and service, And affordable, I will be back!

I’ve visited the public house many times and will continue to do so! Its a community atmosphere and the bartender is awesome! Within the first few minutes of arriving they ask what u would like to drink even if your waiting for a table. Food is good and inexpensive, and the beer selection has local brews on tap! Enjoy your experience…

Fantastic food and service. My husband and I go there at least 2 times a month and always have great service. The bartender is awesome and is quick…

Came here for lunch 11am on a thursday. They had just opened. It was a rainy day, I had driven around town and back and forth between Springvale and Sanford for an hour trying to find a sweet little eatery such as this. I realllly did not want a chain store sandwich. I am not from this area and completeky forgot to use the Unilocal app. For someone just driving around, unless you know it is here, you may not see it or the sign upon passing. More roadside signage or something more noticeable would be awesome especially that would let people know lunch is served.
I arrived and was greeted by a friendly server. 2 oj staff out front, one was working the bar. My server promptly filled my request for water and gave me sufficient time to view the menu. Their menu is a very nice variety and I enjoyed that it was just 1 page front and back. It was very appropriate for pub fare and had options even the pickiest eaters could find pleasure in.
I chose the grilled chicken pesto panini with side salad. It came out fast. Shows competency of the cooks and she looked professional and hapoy back there. The gentleman also appeares happy and professional. Both had good hygiene and were in good appearance. Food arrived in probably under 10 minutes. Panini was pressed just the way I like it, not too hard but golden and crispy. The pesto, though not housemade (understandeably so, as it can spoil fast and cost more to make in house) was creamy and delicious, perfectly spread. Delicious roasted red peppera and melted cheese. The side salad was tasty and a good mix of veggies. Dressing was a creamy balsamic, very delicious and a nice option compared to most places that have the kind that is not creamy.
Atmosphere was appropriate, music was not obnoxious or vulgar. A great place to dine alone, with the family or even to bring your best friend or to enjoy a date with someone special. Plenty of seating and a few tvs to watch the games.
Great job, I enjoyed it and will definitely returb.

Let me tell you that the pulled pork sandwich does NOT taste like cat food. It’s actually the best I’ve had. That lady was probably intellectually disabled and felt a sense of entitlement to write an angry review on Unilocal.Get off your pedestal and eat some real cat food, you reject. I always get the French dip with onion soup because the prime rib is made specially for the sandwich and not old leftovers from the night before like other places in the area. Everything is made in-​house including the dressings. Adam is a culinary saint. Don’t let these intellectually disabled angry reviewers fool you; they have false senses of entitlement and probably request Coors Light in bottle at a pub with 20 micro brews on draft. No one owes you anything so shut up and stay at home.

Just tried this place and it was good. I got the buffalo chicken panini and pub fries. They have a good selection of beers on tap and fast service. I gave it 4 stars because the waitress we had was not too good. Other than that it was great, and I’ll definitely be going back again.

Cajun haddock is very tasty, the fries are always great, and the local draft beer selections change frequently. What more could you want?
My wife and I also ate here Tuesday — we split the salmon BLT and the autumn salad. The BLT was definitely enough for two. The salad had a great Maine combination of roast squash cubes, squash seeds, and cranberry.
This is definitely my favorite lunch place. I’m in Maine 3 – 4 weeks every year, and usually eat here twice every week.

Excellent food, great service. We go there a minimum of once a week because everything is so reasonably priced. If you love beer they have plenty to choose from.

I had the good fortune of stumbling across the Springvale Publick House recently and couldn’t have been more pleased with the food and service we received. Our server, Lori, was both knowledgeable and extremely helpful for our party of six. The menu was full of choices and our food arrived quickly. Everything was perfect and I will certainly be back the next time I’m passing through Springvale.

Love this place! Friendly staff, great food, and great atmosphere. Their stuffed mushrooms are a favorite of my husband’s and I think their peanut butter chocolate pie is to die for. Can’t recommend this place enough :)

By far our favorite place to go. Always a great beer selection on tap, friendly staff, and of course great food. They have the best onion petals and chipotle ranch dip around!

This review is based solely on their bar. We sat there for an hour or so on a Saturday night. The bartender did not do a good job. Very inattentive and no customer service. It was not crowded at all. I ordered a coffee with baileys and you could see through it, when I said this is not right she said yes it is and walked away. I didn’t drink it (it tasted like hot water with baileys in it) and she never said I’ll make you another one. It sat there til we left. Based on that I probably won’t return.
