“ Lobster roll was the best we've ever had, overflowing with lobster meat, and had about 50% tail meat, next night we had steak tips with mashed potatoes, that also was excellent, waitresses were awesome, beer was ice cold, 5 stars absolutely..... ”
“ Stopped on a Wednesday for lunch. They were only seating outside which was fine for us. Nice tree covered patio. Super friendly hostess and wait staff. Had calamari to start and their standard lobster(salad) roll. I usually ask for hot buttered but decided to try the house version. It was good with not too much mayo. Would definitely come back. ”
“ Came here for lunch. Most restaurants in York, ME are poorly reviewed. This one is the best. Tried several others which were either terrible, overpriced, or a combo of both.. This one is the best in the short sands area within walking distance to the beach. Our waitress Julia was attentive, efficient, and top notch. Food delicious and prices reasonable. There are about 5 outdoor tables and indoor seating as well. Highly recommend. ”
“ Very happy we made the short ride up from Stage Neck Inn for dinner. The drinks were great and not all watered down and the food was worth the trip. ”
“ The Union Buff Grill & Pub has one of the absolute best views of any restaurant in York Beach, Maine. You can get great sandwiches and burgers at the restaurant. Also they have an old fashioned pop corn maker next to the bar, so you can have all the freshly popped popcorn you want. Watching the waves come into the Short Sands beach from this restaurant is truly hypnotic. All enjoy, Robert. ”
“ We always refer to the Bluff as our “old favorite” back when Jim & I used to run away up here. It still feel like Home 15 years later! Mouth watering food, familiar faces make this one of our beloved off season places. ”
“ The Scandinavian wine dinner was exceptional. The courses were creative, delicious and well presented. Even the menu items that were different from anything I had tried before were extremely accessible and had everyone at the table raving. The wine pairings were really well executed and the expert representing the vineyards was an excellent storyteller. The service was kind and attentive and took special care with my food allergy. ”
“ I had the pleasure of enjoying friends and the Swedish Dinner paired with various wines put on by Union Bluff on January 24, 2025. The explanations of each menu item and the accompanying wines was very thorough and inspiring. The meal was terrific and presented with creative design. As I enjoyed my evening I thought to myself that the warmth of the dinning room and Inn's atmosphere would be a wonderful place to escape to from the city. I highly recommend this lovely space for a great escape. Kathy F ”
