The Hoot

The food was absolutely delicious. Must try their blueberry pancakes. The wait was a bit long but the food made it absolutely worth it. We sat outdoors. Ambiance both inside and outside was homey. The service was excellent.

We loved The Hoot so much we had breakfast there for the three days we were in Belfast! Carolyn was our outstanding server each day! The Shakshuka with lamb was incredible! The Tuscan Farro Bowl was delicious! Not to be outdone, the Blueberry Pancakes were stupendous! Highly recommend!

My wife and I stopped for brunch on our way from Bath to Acadia Bay Inn in Sullivan. We ate on the lovely outdoor patio/deck. The brunch menu is very creative with many riffs on eggs benedict among other delights. We enjoyed the brunch so much we returned two nights later (1hr 10 min drive each way) for their Monday dinner that features Mexican food using Maine ingredients. The salsas, in particular, were excellent. You know the cooking is good when everything on the plate tastes great! When you want something different from the usual Maine seafood, the Hoot is the place to go.

Amazing food! I came here for brunch on a Sunday so it was very busy. Had to wait a bit to order and for my food but like I said, crazy busy. But when I got my food... Oh wow it was fantastic. The cornmeal waffles were so light and crunchy. The scrapple (my first time having it) was delicious. And having the fresh sauteed greens with it just made the meal!

Simply put: outstanding!
I rarely find a place that does everything right in my opinion but this place did. Immediately got seated in a nice little outdoor area, ice water and glasses ready at the table. The menu left no questions with its description of items and the wait staff was helpful as well. My burger was cooked to perfection, as was my egg. The potatoes were outstanding. And the hot sauce. I've never had better anywhere. House made and sadly, not for sale.slight smokey flavor, very thick, not too spicy but still with kick. My wife greatly enjoyed her sandwich as well. If you're in the area this really needs to be a stop on your list. I know I'll be coming every time I'm within an hour's drive.

My wife and I visited this lovely restaurant for brunch around 11:30 on a Monday. It was not super busy and we were seated immediately. We ordered the Cuban Breakfast and the Breakfast Burrito. We both thoroughly enjoyed the dishes that were packed with flavor and were appropriately portioned. We ended up sitting for a while after our meal to chat on the partly shaded patio where we were seated. This place has the atmosphere, the flavor, and the value that you look for in a casual dining experience. Would highly recommend and will return if we’re in the area again!

Wonderful little eatery. Full farm to table is always a great thing in my book. I had the Smoked Ham Eggs Benedict and it was delicious. The alcohol drink menu was equally stunning. I enjoyed a raspberry puree mimosas. All the staff was very nice and helpful

Passing by Gem

A full parking lot and minimal rustic country decor can only mean one thing....

A warm and accommodating host, a cup of self serve fresh coffee and a small wait.

Just enough time to work through a conversation and take in the warm ambience.

The menu was reasonably priced, everything coming out of the kitchen looked like it was ready for a magazine cover shoot and taste was not lacking. The menu consisted of a world tour of selection from West African breakfast to Tuscany and American dishes.

Eggs poached correctly (kudos) and home fries seasoned with a nice rosemary and sea salt finish. If I could have, I would have certainly worked my way through the whole menu...

Perhaps another time.

Enjoy!

Very nice patio to enjoy an outdoor breakfast! We had the lemon ricotta pancakes and the hash and eggs. Both were excellent. Prices are very reasonable, service was great. One of the better breakfast places we have tried! Will be back!

Wonderful farm to table creations. We were greeted and served by an amazing staff. Food was excellent, can't ask for more! If you want to do carryout, call at 4:30 and pickup before they get busy.

We were greeted by smiling faces, a beautiful bath of sunlight in the gorgeously renovated space, and, for lack of self control, a warm apple cinnamon donut. (Trust me, dont practice your self control here, it was the best donut I've ever had!) Pro tip: donuts pair well with coffee, and their coffee is truly superb. You can even self-select your favorite mug from a great collection!

The menu offered a delicious balance of brunch classics and unique creations inspired by chef's talents and strengths - theres something for everybody! The farm to table food was absolutely outstanding, the presentation a work of art, and the vibe of the whole place felt so inviting! We drove over 100 miles for this perfect morning with family and delicious food, and we'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Thanks to the crew at the Hoot, you're doing ALL the things right ❤

Brunch was wonderful even without reservations. We walked in 10 minutes before closing and were seated. The menu is innovative and very tasty. Our service could have been a bit more friendly. We would definitely return for the quality food.

At home atmosphere with the beat customer service ever experienced. Your met with a welcoming greeting, treated like family and the food....the food is speechless. My wife and I now have our new breakfast spot. Hands down The Hoot is worth the trip.

We're so fortunate to have this restaurant nearby for brunch and dinner (check hours). Recently I had the eggs w garlic kale, white beans, local sausage and baguette. Highly recommend! Fantastic!

We enjoyed Moroccan Night at The Hoot! The drinks were top notch, we enjoyed the lamb and braised beef, both were so flavorful and the perfect portions. We ended our meal sharing the Cardamom Saffron Custard and Orange Cake with Almonds & Orange Blossom, fighting over the last bite.
The staff were very friendly - Highly recommend
*I apologize for the lame photos, I will take more at our next visit :)

Absolutely incredible! The food was the BEST I've had in a long time. Everyone in my family loved their meals! The fried green tomato Benedict was crazy delicious and the heuvos rancheros was a huge hit! If we ever come back to town, this will be a must-stop for us.

Great farm to table restaurant. Went for breakfast. Loved the chorizo and sausage. Travelling for a week this was the best meal we had. Lovely rearaurant with great atmosphere.

Such a great breakfast place! I was so happy that we found The Hoot while visiting Stockton springs. It’s so cute and offers inside/outside seating. We were there twice we loved it so much. Recommend the prickly pear mimosa, Belgian waffle and the breakfast sausage is so good!! The wait staff was friendly and we got our food quickly both times. Highly recommend!

We are addicted!! We've gone 3x in the last week.The food is so delicious and so fresh! The farro bowl is my fave! The margarita is the very best! Do get the apple cider donut! The service gets 10🌟; thank you Carolyn. Our drinks arrive within 5 minutes and our food in less than 20. Looking forward to trying Mexican night!

Loved it! Very unique restaurant, food was creative and delicious! Staff was amazing! Will definitely make this a regular stop while vacationing in Maine.
