“The classic Mom & Pop shop of the town. If you're looking for good quality meats for fair price—Joseph's is the way to go. With friendly staff who are quick to help, you'll find everything you need (and sometimes more). Not to mention super clean! This is the spot to get a well marbled steak. And if you're someone who likes to pamper your dogs (like me), Joseph's has a ready selection of meat to pick out for homemade dog food, too. Forgot produce to pair with your meal? Not a problem here, first thing when you walk in is a wall of commonly used produce for any meat-based dish. The only thing to watch out for is the candy stand at check-out. A temptation for kids and adults with sweet tooths alike. Make Joseph's your first stop shop for high quality meat and service. Keep up the good work, guys!”

“This place is a hidden treasure! The owners are really nice people everything is great quality food. #1 favorite thing I’ve had is the breakfast sandwiches they make. They also made great donuts. The meatballs they use for the meatball subs are homemade not store bought frozen ones. The list goes on and on you just need to stop in! But if you get the breakfast sandwich get it on a bagel trust me they make them themselves and they are amazing. The bagels they make are hands down the best in town.”

“Lately good customer service has been lacking at area businesses. It's understandable as the few remaining essential employees are burnt out from doing the job of many!Maine smoke shop is an exception for several reasons. One is they are open much longer than other businesses on storm shutdown days. Another is they still offer free bags - a gold commodity now! And as I discovered today, they gave me bags with handles to make it easier for me because I use a cane! This is a most thoughtful gesture and definately 5 star service!So thank you Billie and Keith at Maine Smoke Shop!Which is also the only reason I can still afford to smoke!”

“Cleanest store! Quick stop in place for on the road needs, picnics, travels. Sandwich selection is vast, wonderful salads you WANT to eat. EXCELLENT variety of desserts! Fountain drinks, Pepsi products there only. Coffee is FREE if it isn't fresh! Lots of unusual snack items, too. I tried the chicken-skin chips, sort of like pork rinds, only made from chicken skin. Different! Gave it to my dog, she went bonkers for them. Sweetest cashiers/clerks, great Assistant Management staff. Much better gas prices (like 20 cents a gallon cheaper!) than the Irving just down the road, still on KMD, but closer to I-95. Charcoal and BBQ / grilling stuff. Can't say enough.positive things about this establishment.”

“Came here for my COVID booster. Pharmacy swamped, extremely busy. They had computer issues. I had to wait a bit past my appointment time to get my vaccine, but no big deal, retail pharmacy is extremely difficult right now. People need to be more understanding, I know, because I am a prescriber.”
