Executive Chef Matthew Barksdale is lining up Goldilock’s favorite beds of eggs, sweet potatoes, healthy starches, hearty vegan chilis, mixed greens topped with fresh produce and proteins, unique toppings like house-made kimchis, sauces, pickled veggies & more to pair so that it’s just right.
Trust us? Choose one of our signature bowls we round-tabled over long sittings and hungry conversation. “Chef’s specials” is Barksdale’s chance to take some tasty turns down the line. In the summer months, one of our favorite bowls features a Maine Blueberry base loaded with antioxidants because why look to acai from across the world when we have the best little blues right here by the big one?
The place where the rhythm of the neighborhood becomes your own. At Swell House, that’s exactly what we’ve built for you. Step on up to our Swell’s Kitchen Window or our easy online ordering, we have something good cooking….
Every house needs a kitchen. The feeling after a morning spent with the sea is often one of “stoke”, copious amounts of joy and energy that has been transferred by the waves right into our being. We hope to keep that good feel going throughout the day and pass it onto others. With the help of a spot to come home to providing freshly brewed coffee, we knew it was time to bring the nourishing fuel in food-form to keep the waves rolling.
With a play off Gordon Ramsey’s “Hell’s Kitchen”, we though Swell’s Kitchen was a total “Swell Ya!”. As Ramsey would say, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen —” Well, no sweat, we don’t give you the option. With our take-out style ordering window, we’ll keep you getting more time of what you came for; Time outside in vacationland here on the coast of Maine.
First things first, we got rid of the infamous frialator that stands the test of time in mamy of our beloved seacoast restaurants along Route One. Our hope is to stand out in the line-up and give you the fresh nourishing options that will keep you dropping in. Breakfast burritos came top of mind for the top-of-the-day Dawn Patrollers who are looking for the classics, wrapped and compact. For the rest who want to ditch the swaddle, we are embracing the “build-a-bowl” style menu to get right to the good stuff. What;s going to fill you up while keeping light on the feet and lifted in the mind. With the option of making your order totally customizable, build a bowl of everything you need and all things Swell in between.
