The Village Grill Co - Takeout restaurant in Damariscotta - 28 Biscay Rd, USA

Do not be deceived by the previous owner’s photos and reviews! I hate writing bad reviews but when I get ripped off and treated poorly I will. First, the photos you see and most of the reviews are not relevant at all to the current menu. They don’t even have pizza. I read that they sold the place so it must be under new ownership. Not only was the staff extremely rude, they are royally ripping people off. We got a haddock bite platter and got such a small amount of fish it was a joke (see photo.) For the same $15, with full service at a beautiful restaurant in a touristy town overlooking the ocean, we got 3-4 times more fish for the KIDS fish n chips! My husbands burger had ONE soggy onion ring on it! I didn’t even eat the $8 fried pickles because they were so soggy. I get that running a new business is hard, but don’t rip people off. Maine people know the standard for how much fish you get for $15 at a roadside stand in a middle of nowhere town. No one will be happy. Plus, the staff was so rude! If you’re going to rip people off at least do it with a smile lol!

I went here a few summers back when they still were making pizzas and absolutely loved it so when I returned this time I knew it had sold and was under new ownership so myself and husband Wanted to give it a try. My husband ordered a chicken Parm sub, which had the appearance of what you would get at a gas station with just American cheese (not Parmesan) over canned red sauce (smothered) and 2 chicken fingers on a stale bun. I got a cowboy burger. I was a little surprised that they didn’t ask what temperature he wanted it meaning, medium rare or well done but I do get some places don’t do that but then when I received it I realized that was because (seemed to me I might b wrong but tasted) it was frozen burger that came with slimy lettuce and only three small soggy onion rings that you could not even taste as well as no barbecue sauce.after spending over $60, that’s when we came to the sad realization that this place is not the same as it was, when we once visited it.

I never give bad reviews, haven't even tried the food yet but the young girl working there needs a lesson in customer service or find a new job away from the public. I have never been treated so rudely for no reason. Ripped the order number sheet out of my husband's hand. After a very kind call from the owner, I will be going back. The food was very good.

Delano's was closed so we thought we would give this place a try. We spent over $90 on fried whole clams and a seafood combo. The quantity of food was reasonable but the quality was very disappointing. Everything was soggy. The clams were barely battered so they weren't nice and crispy. The fish in the combo was pretty dry and again, the shrimp barely battered so not crispy. The scallops were overcooked and rubbery and the fries on the bottom of the box were the most soggy of all. Overall, the flavor wasn't horrible, but it wasn't good either. This is a take out only place and the area seemed neat and clean, but we won't be visiting here again.

Did a take out order asked for Cowboy burgers to be medium they are well done! Hardly any BBQ sauce on them, FF are cold and have a funny taste to them. Then to top it off ordered a a Bacon Cheese Hot Dog and was charged $9.98. Won't be going back!

We walked in with high hopes from last year for the incredible chicken supreme that’s costed $11.99 when we walked up to the counter we were greeted by a greesy critter🐀. When I asked for the chicken supreme basket I was greeted with a crisp voice saying $19.51🤨 me and my crew were stunned and laughed in her face and we decided to not get the basket which costed 15.11. We sat down with our food only to see a soggy chicken breast between some burnt buns. After throwing the ham in the woods we finished the sandwich still hungry. Moral of the story this place is quite mid😿

Overpriced, disappointed, not like a used to be. $12.99 for a steak and cheese didn’t seem bad until we got the order and opened it and it was half a steak and cheese. Also got a haddock rachel (Reuben) and fries and again, very small portions. There are much better options around for less cost like Delano’s Seafood Shack and Andy’s. I don’t like giving bad reviews but I honestly will not even consider going here again with other places around that give twice the portion, better flavor and consistency.

After 10 hours of travel, we needed something to eat. This fed us, but the food wasn't great like it usually is. Perhaps it was a slow day but it seemed that everyone just wanted to wrap up and head home.
