MY FAVORITE MICROBREW...If you like good hearty microbrews this is your place. They have one of the best stouts (my favorite), their food is good basic hearty bar and grill fare at very reasonable prices for the old port.

A must do for travelers and locals alike.

My husband, children and I were looking for a nice family place for dinner (August 8th) in Freeport while on our way to Belgrade, Maine. We were actually looking for steamed lobsters - saw the restaurant while driving by - was busy and stopped in . Our waitstaff was slow and not interested in working - when we ordered lthe stemaed lobster dinners they said they were out of lobster dinners but might be able to come up with a few - they came back after a long wait and said they could offer us a few lobster dinners. In the meantime, there was no silverware - so we had to ask to silverware ( just the basic) - then our meals came and the steamers were cold that came with our meal - the lobster was just room temp but they served it with PLASTIC crackers and picks - they didn't even work! After our meal, the bill was $120 with tip!!!!! While the food was edible, it wasn't what we expected, especially in Freeport. Need to improve their waitstaff and make sure the food is hot when served. When in in Belgrade , we got the same steamed lobsters at twice the size, served very hot and for the same money with no tip! Will never eat at Gritty's again! Beware! There are much better places out there!

Great food and beer!
