Nook & Cranny Restaurant | Our Story

Extraordinary Food in an Unexpected Place

Nook & Cranny has been feeding travelers and neighbors along Route 9 in Baileyville since 2006 — scratch-made food, Maine ingredients, and a kitchen that takes its work seriously.
A Small Building, Big Reputation

A Small Building, Big Reputation

From the outside we look like an easy pass. Step inside and you'll find a proper dining room, full bar, and a kitchen that's been turning out serious food in Washington County for nearly two decades.

Chef Steve Clark

Steve has cooked professionally for over 40 years, drawing on Greek, Italian, French, and Downeast Maine traditions. He's in the kitchen every day — and you'll often find him out front, too.
Made from Scratch, Every Day

Made from Scratch, Every Day

We source seafood from Maine fishermen and produce from nearby farms, then make everything in-house — the chowder, the baklava, the pecan pie, the crepes, the sauces. There's no shortcut version of any of it.
Three Rooms, One Gathering Place

Three Rooms, One Gathering Place

A dining room for proper dinners, a bar with live music on Fridays and open mic on Sundays, and a game room for families. This has been Baileyville's spot for birthdays, fundraisers, and everyday meals for nearly two decades.
Worth the Drive

Worth the Drive

Our fish tacos draw visitors from across New England — not because we're on the way to anywhere, but because the food is reason enough to make the trip.
