During a "getaway weekend", we drove south to Milinocket, having never been there before. Saturday morning, took a drive from the Katahdin Inn (another review), to to River Driver.s for breakfast. The road off the paved road was terrible, mud & pot holes. The restaurant was open, we were the only customers. Server was polite, but not overly so. More... More

I normally only submit reviews when I travel, but as a Maine resident I am compelled to review this gem located nearby. My husband and I have enjoyed each visit to the River Drivers Restaurant. The restaurant is located in the heart of the Maine woods on the shore of Millinocket Lake. Upon our arrival we were quickly seated nearby... More

The food is phenomenal. Especially the bread. There were so many specials it was hard to choose. The entrees were photo-worthy. I will not soon forget those meals.

We were very impressed with the dining experience at River Driver's Restaurant in Millinocket. We went with a large family group and were treated to great service as well as great food. The wine list was a surprise with many fine California selections. We had the opportunity to sample a wide variety of appetizers, salads and desserts and can heartily... More

After a bumpy ride on a logging road we arrived at a lovely area on Millinocket Lake. What a view! Lovely outdoor or indoor seating. And what a surprisingly sophisticated restaurant so far into the woods. I had an incredible cobb salad with caramelized onions and lobster along with the traditional cobb salad goodies. Be sure and save room for... More

Lots of history at the River Drivers Inn. Two meals were both above average. Located just outside Baxter State Park entrance. Good and pleasantly rustic.

I grew up in this area and return to the Millinocket region yearly. I was very impressed with the food and service my family enjoyed while in town. Yes, this spot will not be the easiest place to find but the food, service and views of gorgeous Mt. Katahdin are so worth the effort.

This is not an area with a very high bar for fine dining. That River Drivers' is narrowly considered one of the better eateries there is really not saying much. The space itself is interesting, with high-ceilinged, lodgelike rooms, but the tables are all clumsily set out on a wide-open floor, providing absolutely no privacy or intimacy. In good weather,...
