“Staff here are always very friendly, but I agree with others, there is a strange and concerning odor here often. It’s a sewage type smell… similar to walking in a porta-potty. Doesn’t make me want to eat here! It’s hit or miss though, someday I’ll try the food. Update: odor is gone!”

“We have been wanting to try the pizza here because we had some elsewhere in town that was okay but we thought the crust could have been better. Being fairly new to this part of Maine it is good to develop go-to places for different things. So we ordered a large pepperoni pizza and onion rings. The onion rings were good and the pizza was terrific. The crust was just right. There was an odd thing where it seemed like they hadn't finished slicing the pizza. My mouth is large but not that big! But it was a simple matter to finish slicing it myself. The people were friendly on the phone and in person. I read in a review that the parking could be challenging, so I was prepared to park next door if need be, but it was no problem. They had chicken salad sandwiches that were in small round buns (hamburger rolls?) and turkey sandwiches in small sub rolls. They looked intriguing and they were quite inexpensive so I will keep it in mind if I need to eat a meal on a shoestring sometime or if I want something a little different than the norm. Anyway, the pizza was so good I figure I have to try a cheeseburger there with fries sometime. There is no fast food place in town, so having a place to grab quick meals from would be great. Oil course it is also a convenience store with coffee, drinks and other items available. I didn't see any fresh pastries but there was a Nearly empty display there so they may have been sold out. All in all a place I want to try again, and in walking distance too.”

“This is one of my favorite places to pull off the interstate if I'm hungry and going in this direction. They make some of the best pizza and the employees are always friendly. East to get in and out and close to the on and off ramp for I-95.”

“It's a general store if it's something general you're looking for, you'll find it here. Good selection of household repair needs and fix up or quick repairs. Good beverage selection and great cigarette prices.”
80 Moosehead Trail, Newport ME 04953
“Friendly staff, a good variety of food and booze( hardware) has the classic general store vibe. I would give 5 stars but it STINKS in there like mold or something. Also many of the price tags need to be updated leading to a surprise when cashing out. A good place to get a complete meal or other supplies”
18 Moosehead Trail, Newport ME 04953
“Its a good truck stop but no 5 stars because a lot of locale trucks are parked there and dropped trailer this dont leave trucker needing space a lot of parking left. And whit this coved19 they close the restaurant to fast. Most truckers are done around 8 but the restaurant closes at 8 pm aswell. But people are always very friendly”

“This is a friendly, down to earth place. Employees are always eager to help me. They made a salad, just how I like it. It was huge. She fried the bacon up fresh for it. Prices are also ver reasonable.”

“Employees frequently leave the phone off the hook. This is not an employee problem it shouldn't be able to happen this often by mistake I would recommend looking for a solution.”
