Use This Easy Tip to Get Seated Quicker at Sea Dog Brewing in Topsham, Maine

One of the things I love most about living in Maine is showing my friends and family some cool spots around the area when they come to visit. Since moving, I've introduced them to multiple hot spots throughout the coastal and midcoast area in Maine -- seafood spots, pizza spots, breakfast places, burger joints, sandwich shops, etc.

Let's be real, there's really no shortage of deliciousness throughout Vacationland.

But one of the most memorable (and helpful, for both me and you), is when I brought them to Sea Dog Brewing in Topsham just over the Frank J Wood Bridge.

Topsham Sea Dog

Not only does the Sea Dog in Topsham have a killer view since the deck extends out over the Androscoggin River right near a waterfall and rapids, but, much like the other Sea Dog locations scattered around Maine and New Hampshire (can't speak for the ones in Florida), it also has a killer menu and beer selection.

But what sets it over the top for me at the Topsham Sea Dog is the staff. Just super friendly from the time you walk in until the time you leave (usually with a full stomach and a box of leftovers.)

The staff is also how I figured out this cheat code to get seated quicker, too.

I should've gotten her name, but I'm an absolute idiot and didn't, but when I brought the family there this past Saturday for dinner, I walked up to the hostess to put our name in. And when she asked for my number to send text updates, I mentioned my area code first since it's an area code from away.

603 area code? It's a 25-minute wait but since you're from New Hampshire, I'll get you seated quicker.

And she wasn't lying, either. Because within 10-15 minutes, we were seated and having our drink orders taken. Now, do I actually think my area code had anything to do with us getting seated quicker than 25 minutes? No.

But if you ever want to roll the dice and try, just give the gorgeous hostess with family in Portsmouth and Rochester, New Hampshire a number with a 603 area code and see what happens.
