Six explorers came to Maine, allowing a film crew to set their direction. Not knowing what lay ahead, they chased the sun, embracing the spontaneous, unexpected nature of Maine.

Watch their arrival as they visit the Royal River Grill House during their first night in town.

The Royal River Grillhouse is committed to serving a cuisine that reflects our Maine heritage, as well as, bringing worldly dishes together using our
local resources. 

We pride ourselves in our constant effort to use Maine’s local farmers and fishermen to bring interesting, new, and delicious ideas to your table.  Our menu is constantly changing with the seasons, but you can always depend on seeing a few house favorite on the menu.  The sautéed mussels have been a must have from day one.  Cooked in sweet wine and garlic butter, served with fresh made bread.  The unique focus in our kitchen is, we fuel both our oven and our grill with Maine hard wood.  From grilled all natural salmon to prime New York strip steaks we have something that will satisfy everyone in your party.

"The Royal River Grill has always been one of my favorite restaurants because the food is fantastic and I love the menu. With the amazing new renovation, now the ambiance is one of my favorites too. The new look is so chic...yet so comfortable and it really maximized the great water views. This will top my list as the place to come with family, friends and clients."

-Linda McDonald
