Reviews for Bad Little Brewing Company in Machias, ME
A unique find with tasty locally sourced food, great beer, and a cozy atmosphere. The chicken pot pie hit the spot for comfort... food on a chilly night and we really enjoyed the quail eggs. The blueberry cobbler is AMAZING! Read more
Whatt a hidden gem!! There was a folk band playing on patio which was our first indication this place is special. The menu is... locally sourced and many gluten free and vegan options. We found it to be unexpected fine dining food in a relaxed atmosphere.Shawn the owner was the perfect gost. This brewery is also a harvest host and offers us self contained campers a free nightsparking spot. We pulled our van right into a level spot. We loved the beer they make and they also offer a huge variety ofother drinks. Tip: order the Portuguese soup. My Portuguese daughter in law loved it! Very Authentic! Read more
Overall, it just okay. When we walked in, it felt very awkward and unwelcoming. Building is historic but a little odd setup for... a restaurant. Beer and cider were good, but food is very pricey for what it is despite being farm to table. Quinoa salad wasserved with no dressing... my mom was trying to understand how something was so bland that had dressing but turns out the chefnever put it on. The owner was even eating next to us and also asked for dressing and said it was bland.... when we asked thewaiter for dressing she said she "might be able to get us some" and it's funny because another person asked for the same....Ravioli was okay but for $25 and no meat? Ive had Michelin star dishes for cheaper. Two small pieces of bread as a starter for$5 is a bit much. We ordered desert and it took 20 minutes.... waiter said that they were having trouble locating theblueberries. She brought out the desert finally and they were literally frozen in desert and there were only maybe 5blueberries. Desert was good otherwise. We were never asked if we wanted another drink. The owner sat next to us with his familyand proceeded to bring them countless drinks but never offered us another despite seeing our empty glasses. Never asked how ourexperience was either. Ambiance, service, and food (price/flavor) need to improve for this to last. Seems a bit inexperienced,although the waitress was very nice. Perhaps stick to the beer and pub food and this would be great. Definitely has potential. Read more

2nd time visiting my favorite place to eat in Washington County. Comfortable environment with friendly staff. The wife and I... split the quails eggs and the charcuterie board with a couple glasses of cider for her late birthday dinner. The quails eggs arepickled to perfection and have exceptionally creamy yolks. We got the large board and the selection was fantastic, fresh andmore than enough for 2 people. I have been to and worked at nice restaurants in several states, Bad little brewing company isworth visiting for a high class experience. Read more
Omg, delicious, the pickled quails eggs are a must. My husband found this place on Google maps, it was a bit hard to find as... no sign yet with frozen ground, we saw the delivery truck and said aha!! I'm so glad we stopped in to try this place. Our hardciders were delicious, very tasty. My husband loved the Buffalo Mac and cheese with chicken and I loved the corn beefsandwich. And the dessert, omg, chocolate pot de creme. But I must say that my favorite was the quails eggs, I could eat themevery day ???? Read more
We had a reservation which ended up being a good thing. When we arrived at 6:00pm on a Thursday in September, it wasn?t crowded... at all. However, it quickly filled up in the next hour. There are two small dining rooms and some outdoor seating. Table servicewas fair to middling; however, dinner took over an hour to arrive. We ordered appetizers too, and they came out in a reasonableamount of time. The lightly pickled quail eggs were tasty little morsels. The mushroom tart had a nice flaky crust and anassortment of wild mushrooms. It was pretty small. We shared it between 4 people, and we each got a little square. All theentrees were nice sized servings. The buffalo mac n cheese with chicken was dry and not flavorful. Cannot recommend this. Thequinoa bowl was very good as was the eggplant rollatini. We also had the Too Snarky (love the name) IPA beer and brown ale whichwere fine. Overall, pretty pricey for a brewery. Our bill rounded out to about $40 per person. Read more
