Reviews for The Blind Pig Tavern in Gardiner, ME
My husband and I are so grateful to The Bling Pig. Due to unforeseen circumstances our original plan for an engagement party at... their event space turned into a wedding reception. They were not only accommodating but went above and beyond for us over andover again! We had AMAZING signature drinks, a beautiful, well decorated space, and the food was so good! All of our guestscommented on how warm and cozy the space was and the bar was full the entire night! We cannot recommend this place enough fornot only lunch/dinner/drinks but for any event you may have. They truly make you feel like part of the family. Thank you so muchfor making this day stress free and so memorable for us. Read more
This was our first visit. The employees were friendly and helpful. We had a burger with fries. It was cooked correctly, and... tasted great. Definitely will go back. Read more
Charming pub in downtown Gardiner, decorated in a lighthearted sort of hipster vibe. We stopped in for a weekday lunch, and were... the only diners there. The service was excellent, the restaurant and bathrooms were clean, and the food was mostly good. Weshared a poutine which was positively amazing, then ordered their pork "mac+cheese" which was quite lackluster. The poutine wasthoroughly covered in gravy and cheese curds throughout, and the fries were delicious. The "mac+cheese" was truly neither; itwas was an odd pasta I'm not familiar with, and the "cheese" sauce was completely flavorless, almost like an unsalted bechamel.It took copious amounts of salt and pepper to make it reasonably flavorful. Definitely get the poutine, definitely avoid the"mac+cheese"! Read more
The style here is unmatched! Even the dishes are cute. I love the color scheme, lighting, and usage of the original architecture... and bricks. This is a VERY cool space! Madelin is an excellent bar tender; even when they were swamped on a trivia night, shewas keeping up making all the very fancy drinks while still being sociable and attentive! The drinks and food are a bit pricey,but always good! I highly recommend the shrimp tacos just because of whatever delicious sauce was in them. Read more
The outdoor patio caught our eye...looked like a nice place to have lunch. We were right! Service was excellent and it was hard... to decide what to have, so many things sounded good. Ended up sharing the pork mac & cheese and the kickin chicken sandwich. Both were delicious but the chicken sandwich was the bomb! Nice selection of drinks and beers. Generous portions and fairprices. Had to take most of thr mac and cheese home. Will be back! Read more

Love this place. So glad they did an expansion, they really needed it. The night we went service was very slow, but that... typically never happens. The other times we have been service has been great. The food is amazing and always unique drinks.Highly recommended if you are in the Gardiner area. ***Update 6-11-2022*** Went back for dinner tonight. This place does notdisappoint. They posted a special drink on Facebook for last night, I asked for it tonight,and even though it was not on theirmenu, they were able to make it. The Ribeye steak tonight was very good, great flavor and well cooked ( to our liking). The ribsare almost as consistent as a chain, but way better. Highly recommend this place to everyone. ***another update12/04/22*** Came back for brunch. We obviously frequent this place. The drinks are always outstanding. The food today for brunchwas fantastic. My wife had the breakfast enchilada, and loved it. I had riblets, and 2 eggs on the side. Outstanding riblets. Itwas truly a half rack of their dinner ribs. We can't get enough of the Blind Pig. Read more
