About the Grillhouse

When you're both a local favorite and an in-the-know tourist destination, you know you're doing something right. Just a ten minute drive from Portland on the banks of the Royal River, the Royal River Grillhouse is Maine's best-kept secret in waterfront dining.

There's not a bad seat in the house. Whether you choose a table on one of our stunning outdoor decks or belly up to the cozy bar, the sweeping views of the Royal River will take your breath away. Don't worry—the tempting aromas from the wood-fired grill will revive you!

Our seasonal menus feature generous portions of the freshest seafood, meats and hand-cut steaks combined with the highest quality local ingredients—cooked to order in our open kitchen, perfect every time. Paired with the perfect wine, beer or specialty cocktail, each mouthful makes a memory. From the traditional tastes of Maine to more contemporary fare, our menu has something for everyone.
