Foggy Goggle

This restaurant/​bar was excellent. We had a big group so it must have been hard to wait on us and our server was calm/​cool/​collective. The food was great they even remembered no pickle on my burger. I would definitely come back.

⁵⁄₅ for being a good spot for hot food /​cold drinks with a view of Sunday River.
⁴⁄₅ for being fun with kids in easy spot.
²⁄₅ for service — although it is relatively friendly.
¹⁄₅ for food. I make better stuff in my kitchen for my kids at lunch in a rush. Cold fries. Pink hot dogs. My chicken parm sub tasted like it was made by my 9 year old with chicken fingers and ragu sauce (come to think of it he did disappear for a few minutes near the kitchen entrance…)
Overall — great place to eat after skiing due to its proximity. Just don’t expect good food. It’s too bad as Sunday River excelled at everything else.

Went a few weeks ago and usually have a great time. This night we had a girl from New Orleans tending bar. A girl at the bar ordered a birthday drink for a friend, and before she started making it, asked to change it because she asked for wrong drink. She was very polite but the bartender made a big deal of it rolling her eyes. I then saw her say to a friend who was at the bar that she hated these Mass people who, by the way, were tipping her very well for basically no service at all. If you are spending good money here, try a place that appreciates you. Won’t go back

The Foggy Google is located Mountainside at the South Ridge Lodge at one of my favorite places to visit in Maine, Sunday River Ski Resort. I don’t actually ski but the mountain has so much more to do then that. On this visit we were watching the North American Wife Carrying Championships during Peek Foliage season and wanted to grab a quick bite to eat for lunch. The Foggy Google was open special for the weekend so we gave it a try. We sat on the second level outdoor patio. One of the first things we noticed were the many yellow jacket hornets flying around. This was a little concerning but obviously would not be a problem in the winter. They kept to themselves for the most part but I probably would not have been happy getting stung by them. The menu was limited for the weekend but included most of the Foggy Google Favorites. I was in the mood for nachos so that’s what we got. Also on the menu was Beer and Cheese Dip with Pretzel Breadsticks so we couldn’t resist that either. The Loaded Nachos were a half portion size and they were still huge. We opted for no Jalepenos but decided to order them with braised chicken This was a good choice because the chicken was excellent. Unfortunately it was all dumped in one spot on the top of the Nacho mountain and not spread throughout the dish. I thought that was bit lazy as it would have been more enjoyable to have chicken with each bite but i just used my fingers to clump and dump the chicken on my chips. The Beer cheese dip was pretty amazing. It was a tangy hoppy blend of cheeses and ale and was super rich and thick. It would have made a great Mac and Cheese. However the pretzel breadsticks were obviously from a frozen box and came out rubbery like the bottom of my shoe with almost no salt. Again, a little lack luster and lazy. We actually dipped most of our chips in the beer dip instead of the breadsticks. Overall this was a decent meal that could have been great with just a bit more care and pride. Because of the inconsistent food a four star rating turns into a three. I may be back but with so many other great places in the area I probably wont be banging down the door to get in.

So… The service was fine, however, the food was the issue. I ordered the chicken BBQ sandwich and while eating it, the «smoked» bacon tasted chemically. That should have been my first warning, but I continued to eat the sandwich. After I left the restaurant and an hour had passed, I began feeling sick to my stomach and started having GI issues. A friend that had dinner with me ordered the sandwich too and had the same symptoms. It has been three days and I am still experiencing some discomfort. My guess would be minor food poisoning, but I will have to go to the doctor’s office if these symptoms persist. I feel bad for writing this, but I would not want this to happen to anyone else.

This bar rules. They have great food and great live music. Heather is especially amazing. She made our time in the Goggle exceptionally amazing!!!

–Gets very busy near 3pm at the end of the day
–Bar is first come first serve. Tables must be seated by server.
–Service: Very slow. Don’t expect to be in and out. All together it took us about 2 hours to wait for table, order food, wait for food, eat and pay for food.
–Very Loud! They have bands playing but you can barely hear them
–BBQ Chicken Sandwich: Chicken was perfect and crisp.
–Turkey Melt: Different but good. The cinnamon bread might sound odd but it flows well.

Food is OK. But fact its right there slope side and has good entertainment makes it worthwhile. My go to there is the quesadilla. Owed and run by Boyne. One thing I still can’t wrap my head around… No desserts!!! What?!

I ate here yesterday with my family. I agree with previous comments regarding the staff. They did seem to not want to be there but were attentive. Nachos were good. A large was plenty for a family of 4. Pastrami on pretzel roll was good, the burger not so much. It was cooked to well done and was small maybe a quarter pound. Kids chicken tenders and fries were fine. I initially wanted the fish tacos but our server steered me away saying they were small. Lastly our dinner came out about 10 minutes after our apps which is a pet peeve of mine. All in all not terrible and very convenient but could improve.

Great bar for after skiing drinks are good beer selection is ok but the food has a lot to be desired for. :(

This is one of the least friendly ski bars I have been to. The service is mediocre as is the food. Terrible beer selection and as I am looking around not one server is smiling or seems like they want to be here and the patrons seem just as unhappy. Talk about a buzz kill after a day of skiing. ..

Good band venue and a great off the slopes place to be.

Nice little bar at Sunday River Resort in the main lodge. I like the idea of the deck outside facing the mountain — awesome view — and enjoying the outdoors. Unfortunately this spot seems to be pretty much crowded from lunch time on, though a few of us that were done for the day did manage to grab some spots at the bar. Prices are fairly cheap (this coming from someone who lives in Boston)…but the service was sub-​par. It seems like there is just too much going on in there and not enough staff to get a handle on it. Heck if you are up skiing though you might as well give it a try after all it is right there.

We were there on a Sat night. We didn’t want much just some appertizers and drinks. We were with a large group who was at the resort for the weekend but just 2 of us got a table in the back (the live music is way too loud in the main part of the restaurant). The hostess said she could seat us and we’d have a nicest waitress. So we sat down, there were large tables all around us. We finally saw the waitress bring a round of drinks for the table next to us but then passed over us and left the little room. The other large table on the other side of us were all leaving. The bus boy came over to clear that table and the waitress then came over… to the dirty table and started clearing it with him, still hadn’t come to our table. I had to used the bathroom and when I came back my husband said that she still hadn’t come to the table and we had been sitting there for 25 minutes and there were two empty tables in the back room. It was ridiculous. We finally got up and told the hostess that she never came over and we waited and waited. We ended up going across the street to The Phoenix where they the service was 100x better than this place.

Went here to meet up with some friends after they went skiing at Sunday River. Place was really nice and had a great view of the mountain and everything. We got some beers, some people got burgers. I got the chicken quesadilla, which was enormous and delicious. I could barely finish it, but it was so good for the price.

I have vacationed in Sunday River twice, however this was my first trip to the Foggy Goggle. It was very crowded anytime we went to get a beer after a day of hitting the slopes. The beer was good (the craft beer was yum), the food was «meh», and the service was okay. What is not okay, were the PRICES.
Myself and 3 others were there on St Patricks Day and was reccomended by our waitress to try the «shot special» of the day (a Dirty Leprechaun or somthing), and said sure. I wish I had asked how much they were first… who would have thought a shot «special» would be $ 12 a piece? Just those 4 (small) shots graced our bill at $ 48… with 3 entrees (my siblings split a meal) and a bucket of beer, our bill was well over $ 100 for cheap bar food… wow. Learned my lesson; do not buy liquor at a ski bar. We chose not to return the rest of our visit. Stick to the beer.

This is THE place to go for lunch while skiing at Sunday River. The food isn’t that special, but its location is perfect and I cant think of anywhere else at Sunday River where i’d like to grab a beer in the middle of a great day of skiing.

Great apres! Lot’s of fun energy, accommodating staff, and fun band!

Great place to unwind after a day of skiing.
