Our Guestbook
“ This iconic Sugarloaf mountain establishment is known for its terrific food (their pepperoni pizza is amazing) and unique decor. Great place for apres ski beverages and snacks, not to mention lunch and dinner. ”
“ I went two days in a row.... Burgers are my favorite food and this is a top 3 burger IMO. The dijoneise, the meat, the bun, are all top notch. It has a diner style taste, but you can tell they have mastered this burger and put a lot of care into the cooking and ingredient choice. ”
“ Bag burger with extra sauce is the highlight of our days, especially as we get older and find our lunch breaks extending longer and longer each year. ”
“ The Bag and Kettle has been serving hungry Sugarloafers since 1969. Stopped in for lunch on a beautiful fall afternoon in Carrabassett Valley. Peak foliage time! Busy lunchtime, with a lively no frills atmosphere. The menu was streamlined. Typical pub fare, wings, burgers, pizzas and salads. Full bar available with a good selection of draught beer. I ordered the Dior Burger, an 8oz. beef patty cooked a perfect medium, slathered with garlic herb cheese, and fresh fries. The burger was hot, tender, fresh and flavorful on a toasted brioche bun. Yum! There is nothing so incredibly satisfying as a well executed burger! Great low key eatery with really good food! Highly recommend. ”
“ Stopped in for a early dinner after the lifts stopped running. We were completely satisfied and will return in the future. Atmosphere is great,Food was amazing and our waitress was awesome. ”
“ Awesome pub - great food, great service! We went to The Bag for lunch every day during our week-long visit and we were never disappointed. The Bag Burger may be famous, but their chili is to die for. Perfect spot to grab a bite when you need a break from the hill! My only regret is that I didn't get a t-shirt :) ”
“ Had the famous burger here, which was great. The Bag is an old-school apres ski bar. It was jam-packed today, and we all had a fantastic experience. You can't get much better than this place after a long day of skiing! ”
“ We drove up to check out the views, did the chair lift ride at Sugarloaf then had lunch here. I was expecting typical pub food, but my brick oven pizza was really, really good!! My husband said his reuben sandwich was the best he has had (which he previously said at a restaurant we tried a month or so ago, guess it's been dethroned!) And the curly fries were really good! We would definitely go back here even though I found the service to be inattentive for a slow day. ”
