Restaurants in Bangor

“The food was amazing! Our waitress was so nice!”

“Love the gluten free options. The frosted brownies are amazing. The mint frosted brownie is out of this world!!! Sometimes I’ll be there when there’s a GF éclair. Have had the tuna melt with GF cheese bread. Sooo good. All kinds of other great choices. Staff and owners are helpful. I”

“The food here NEVER disappoints, we’ve been a handful of times since moving to Bangor, but the bartender working tonight was so loud and obnoxious! She was yelling over the music (which wasn’t enough to warrant yelling) to chitchat with people dining at the bar. We could barely carry a conversation across the room, she was so disruptive. This is a small place, noise carries.

High marks because our actual server and food were great, but I’m pretty hesitant to come back simply due to the noise level.”

“Chimera is hands down the best place in town for a perfect coffee or snack. I always feel incredibly welcomed when I pop in for a delicious signature latte’. Their coffee is so smooth and pairs perfectly with any of their amazing food items. It’s warm and inviting and the service is always prompt and pleasant. 1000% recommend this place!”

“An awesome restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, and delicious food. We've gone twice now, once in the afternoon when they were dead, and once later in the evening when they were SLAMMED, and the service was phenomenal both times.”

“The customer service is top notch. I had a problem with one of the items we purchased, I called the store and it was immediately taken care of. The woman was polite, friendly and apologized for the mishap.”

“Great local spot, always really good food!”

“Great food, long wait times due to be so busy! Who knew!!! But seriously, their menu items are worth the wait! Our family has had an opportunity to try several items. From Maui breadsticks to salads to wraps to pizza’s to desserts. We loved them all! Maui breadsticks were amazing. 4 generous stuffed breadsticks with a side of marinara. We have had 12 in, 14 in pizza’s and by the slice. Toppings chosen: buffalo chicken, cheese, pepperoni with and without hot honey, perfectly baked. We also have had their Margherita pizza with minced garlic, incredible. Our family favorite is the chicken broccoli Alfredo, absolutely delicious. We have also had their turkey BLT, buffalo chicken wrap and ham Italian sandwich. They were flavorful and tasty. We have also enjoyed their grilled chicken Caesar salad as well as their garden salad, generous portions and great. And we completed our dining take out experiences with maple walnut whoopie pies…OMG!! Such goodness! If you’re in the area, and have a chance to pop in or place an order on line you will be very happy and looking forward to your next visit!”

“We had a rehearsal dinner catered by Moe’s a little over a week ago on Saturday night of Memorial Day Weekend. The event was in Bar Harbor. The food was excellent and plentiful. We had ribs, mac and cheese, cornbread, chicken, cold slaw , dessert and more. The two servers were the BEST. Mackie and Cody were great! Extremely personable and friendly to everyone. I would order from Moe’s again wthout a doubt.”

“We had such a great night at Fielder’s Choice. The putt putt was really clean, pretty, and affordable which made it even better. It’s the perfect spot for a date night or a fun place to take your kids.”

“10/10 every time! we live for the schawarma wraps! 🌯”

“Lovely place for breakfast, the coffee was delicious and the service was incredible! The staff were very friendly and we were greeted immediately. Would absolutely recommend if you are in the area to stop in!”

“My first experience at Utopia was amazing! It was NYE and they were booked solid with reservations. We got there early and they were very kind and let us use a table, which I was not expecting. It did not interfere with anyone's reservations. The food was spectacular as well as the service. I highly recommend Utopia and I love that there were lots of vegan options!!”

“Good little Irish pub. Menu was decent and the service was great. If you are looking for good Irish comfort food and a selection of beer give Geaghan's pub a shot.”

“Great food and an amazing staff”

“Had an amazing time, our waiter was very attentive and helpful. We all had something different for us this time. The make your own pasta dish was so much and delicious. The salad was crisp and fresh!”

“Best sushi in the Bangor area! Served without any sort of political messages, unlike a certain MAGA establishment in Brewer.”

“Everything was perfect, love this place!”

“We had fun for a birthday party for a ten year old. Everyone loved it from 2 to 85 years of age. Something for everyone. The kids had a blast bowling, dancing and playing games.”

“Excellent Chinese buffet! The food was fresh, tasted delicious, and constantly replenished. Loved the peanut butter chicken and crab rangoons. The place was clean, the staff attentive, and the price very reasonable for the quality. Definitely coming back!””

“At Uno's in Bangor, ME yesterday (04/15/25)....My husband doesn't like the chunky sauce and likes the sauce on the bottom....my exact order was marina sauce (not chunky) and sauce on the bottom, no sauce on the top like a regular pizza ....my order WAS repeated back to me correctly. Great, see you in 25 minutes. How'd they do?? Sauce all over the top....it was marina but I specifically asked for the sauce to be on the bottom. Even the tag in the pizza box was correct. When I called them to complain as this is the SECOND time this has happened (first time we didn't call) the manager (who also made this pizza) made all kinds of excuses, this is how we do it, we don't make them with no sauce on the top, try calling in your order next time vs doing it online (this was a call in order not online), maybe explain it better next time, maybe tell them you want it made in the reverse order.... In the end, we still have this pizza, not guaranteed a refund and they've lost us as a customer!! $51 plus a $5 tip for this pizza & a gluten free. I just checked my bank account and I'm not seeing a charge yet so maybe she did refund after we hung up but not sure yet. Very poor customer service, especially by the manager!!”

“Great place to start a trip, has everything you need for any situation you might encounter on the road. But also just as good as a spot to end a long trip on the road with a good restaurant and service...”

“Sushi was phenomenal! Our service was great and have zero complaints. Look forward to going again. It’s a 3 hour drive (round trip) for us, and was well worth it.”

“The food is amazing. I walked in and placed an order. Ready in less than 15 minutes! The combos come with ALOTTT of food. Will be coming back!!”

“They’re good is pretty decent when they remember all the food you order. Tonight was the fourth time they forgot the fries or onion rings. There is always one side missing no matter what platform we order on (we’ve used DoorDash & UberEats).”

“Even before the crew new me and the fact that I was homeless they would let me take coffee and not charge me now that they know me when I walk in they always make me feel welcome”

“Snackin’ Bacon 🥓. That’s all I have to say”

“First time here this season and as usual, it did not disappoint! I ordered the crab roll instead of my usual lobster roll and it's an 11/10! Fresh hot hand cut fries, perfectly salted. Cold, crisp pickle. a generous portion of fresh crab in a tiny bit of mayo on top of a small perfect amount of lettuce, stuffed in a fresh buttered and toasted bun, and a 4oz container of fresh home made Cole slaw. It doesn't get any better, or more fresh! There's a reason they've won best food truck in the Bangor area for several years in a row. Pro Tip- eat the fries first! They're always fresh and hot, but if you don't eat them first, they cool off quick. They have 5 picnic tables with umbrellas you can eat at, or eat it right in your car. The cherry on top is the excellent choice of tunes playing, and the amazing customer service. Don't change a thing!”

“Never disappointed, food is great, service is fast and friendly! They make you feel like family.”

“My sister and I had an excellent steak dinner on Sunday August 14th - the steaks were perfect! But the most amazing thing was the personalized service from Brian, the manager - let me explain - After dinner we started the arduous"trek" down Rt. 9 back home to Eastport. It wasn't until Monday morning that I realized I had left my wallet there. To make a long story short, Brian went beyond "the call of duty" and sent my wallet back via Fed. Ex. on his day off ! Thank you Brian for helping an old lady assuage her worries - you' re a doll!”

“The Lazy Hound is my go to option in downtown Bangor for fresh food and good drinks at a great price. The food is consistently high quality and made with fresh, unprocessed ingredients. I have tried a bit of everything on the menu and never been let down.”

“Today ended up be our home away from home as we rode the storm out! We made friends today! Great group of musicians, fantastic atmosphere, and homemade food to die for. The brew and wine selection was absolutely amazing as well. We'll be back to visit!”

“Authentic New York style homemade pizza. We didn't think we could ever find it in Maine but this is the place!!! You don't need to order extra cheese. The sauce and cheese goes all the way to the edge. The place was very busy but the staff was super nice and friendly. Best pizza in Bangor!!!!”

“I absolutely love harvest moon. Everything is always so fresh and tasty at every location I go to. Always have a great experience when I have been. Only thing I would change is add an Ellsworth location so I can go more often ☺️”

“I went to get my dad some as I hadnt worked since they opened 🙄 turns out he already badgered mom into taking him. I was still pleased as he 80 ish more home bound & I was able to get his Hot Fudge on the side. So he wasn't fighting melting while he tried to eat.”

“We have been going to Coffee Express for years and when they got went up for sale we were worried we would lose our favorite place. However, when the building sold the new owners hands down have kept us loyal customers along with a safe place for our fur babies. They love your staff as much as we do. Jake has been one of one our favorites and the girl that made the pumpkin cold foam drink for the fall season is awesome. We love you guys. P.S. Ivee loves Eric! 🫣”

“She did such a great job on our ceremonial cutting cake! We were able to coordinate everything over the phone and pick up our single tier cutting cake with flowers the day before our wedding! The flavor was great as well as the aesthetic.”

“My favorite place to eat! I'm never disappointed.”

“Lemon curry chicken salad is so delicious!!”

“Great service, great food and great beer! Casual ambience and a fun place for date night.”

“Amazing staff and great environment”

“Wicked hot day, after shopping at 3 different places, we were tired and only slightly hungry. Sweet Frog was perfect for the 5 of us. Cool and light, the frozen yogurt with a couple of cherries and blueberries. Everyone got what they wanted and the light yogurt settled just right in the tummy!!”

“Amazing food with good quality folks, awesome sound system so you can actually hear the jukebox. Must recommend the “In The Pub” Smash Burger; 10/10 legitimately the best burger I’ve ever had. A very group friendly location, for those looking to have get togethers/ socials. Absolutely 5 ⭐️, well worth popping in.”

“I absolutely love harvest moon. Everything is always so fresh and tasty at every location I go to. Always have a great experience when I have been. Only thing I would change is add an Ellsworth location so I can go more often ☺️”

“Since opening more than 25 years ago my all time favorite.”

“food was delicious. never had a bad meal there. the waitress we had today was probably one of the best ones I've had anywhere in the bangor area so kudos to her and her hard work.”

“Good food here in Bangor but not in Houlton it was so dirty there so sad”

“Pleasantly greeted at the door. Server was happy and informative. Salsa and chips - light and flavorful. Food was fantastic! Cadillac margarita was incredible! Perfection! Perfection!”

“One of the absolute best burgers I've had in ages! Fantastic value! great staff! Next time we're in Bangor we'll be back for sure!”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at the Tailwinds Grille located within the Aviator Hotel. Our lobster rolls were out of this world, the woppie pie dessert was great, and the service tonight was excellent. This place is super convenient for dining during an overnight stay, and the food is way better than what the reviews show.”

“absolutely delicious sub, fresh veggies....and those pickles were amazing!”

“money worth it, food was really good. bruschetta,pizza,freeze squeeze lemonade with real strawberries & raspberries (so refreshing) my shrimp scampi is yummylicious.. and oh the happy ending that kept me curious is their deserts...the server is great,her name becca.”

“Good sandwiches and pizza”

“Good sandwiches and pizza”

“My first visit was awesome.Oct 27.my food was perfect and the staff was beyond wonderful.They treated everyone like best friends.so perfect.”

“Food was great, service was on point and organized!”

“Great atmosphere, beautiful building, good drinks and excellent food.”

“This place is the best. My fiancé and I had driven by it many times and just never realized they served more than coffee. We looked up best breakfast in Bangor and this place popped up. It was definitely correct! The nice woman (who I believe is the owner) takes your order and also cooks your food. Great personal service. We go there at least once a week now. Worth a stop for sure.”

“Best beer in town.
I really enjoyed this cozy little nook. Great beer.
And Carrisa the beertender was a complete joy, very kind polite and generally just a very nice person. This business is fortunate to have such an employee. I'll be returning here for all my beers any time I come to Bangor.”

“Recently played in a 10-ball tournament here, and although it was a longer-than-expected day for everyone, their staff was amazing from start to finish!!”

“We sat outside with our dog. The pizza was delicious (we had pesto pie with chicken), and the garlic crust was flavorful but not overpowering. Nice drink selection. Service was great.”

“The chicken tender is made with real chicken meat and cooked to the right tenderness. The fries are better than I thought.
Turkey sandwich is also beyond my expectations.
Great food!
Beef bowl is not recommended.”

“The food was absolutely incredible! Fish and chips came with a piece of fish that was massive and cooked to perfection! Fried cheese curds were perfect. Add to that literally the best service I've ever had at a restaurant from Melissa G. and there is no way I won't be a repeat customer for years to come! If I could give 10 stars, it still wouldn't be enough!!”

“Great food and great service always. I love the turkey bacon ranch, the bread is always fresh and they are very generous with all toppings! I also love that when I ask for an extra side of ranch, the employees take extra care in communicating to those making the food that it’s on the sandwich, and on the side. Which I just love! Definitely give them a try if you haven’t already.”

“Best sandwiches ever!! highly recommend”

“Oh how I miss this place. I was always going there in the late 90's and I swear I have not found a burger nearly as good as they made, haven't been there since I got pinched in 98 for robbing the Bangor Savings Bank. I really enjoyed that place, the atmosphere was so "cool." But the burgers, trust me world, the most absolute best I have ever had, give them a try, you won't be disappointed, I promise you that!”

“This place is really a hidden gem, I have been in the food industry 18 years and I am kinda fussy when it comes to food. Well I am here to tell you the fried fish here has to be the best around. Not to mention the pizza is fantastic and a favorite of mine the poutine. Another popular item by the locals is “Lisa’s famous fried clams” those are also vary tasty. The staff is always friendly and the bar is always stocked. I definitely highly recommend.”

“Felicia is an incredible server, prompt, precise and dedicated to Geaghan's! She's very attentive each time we have her as a server. We actually request to have her! Group of 7 ordered drinks and miscellaneous food items. The food was delicious. fresh and hot. Not one single issue with the order! The checks were accurate. Will definitely be returning!”

“my first experience yesterday I got the Hawaiian pizza combo with bbq chips and a fountain Pepsi for 7.00 it was so good and yes I will be back the lady at the counter was very nice and warned me that I would be back and she was right my buddy that i work with told me it was a must try and he was definately right❤️”

“Fresh rolls and bread. Costs very reasonable”

“Excellent pastries and coffee!”

“OJ is a Bangor STAPLE! It has been there for as long as I can remember and it’s grown and changed along with the times, I wish they would open their buffet back up…. But if you want the best chinese food and best service, this is the place to go!”

“My first visit was awesome.Oct 27.my food was perfect and the staff was beyond wonderful.They treated everyone like best friends.so perfect.”

“The last 2 times I went there the crust didn't stay on the chicken and there was a bunch of grease on the bottom. Won't go there again. Must have a cook that doesn't know doing.”

“Everything was perfect, love this place!”

“Went to pick up food after they said it would be about 45 min no big deal got there and they said it was gonna be another hour after the 45 mins allready passed waiting in my vehicle for 45 min and went in and asked how close and the lady said yours is about to go in and I said it has been 2 and half hours I just wanted to know cause I had groceries in the car and I live 45 mins away. So she proceeded to tell me in her exact words “it’s not our fault the damn owner won’t shut us down in the middle of a snowstorm as well as it is just me as I am the store manager and one other person” well the other person heard her yelling at me and came out and said what’s going on ? And I said I wondering where our food is it’s been over two hours. He said look dude it is just us two and if you don’t like it leave and I was like I have waited foe over two hours and my food is made right there about to go in the over I’m not leaving !!! He now that I know is just the delivery driver told the manager to cancel my “******** order and kick him out and call the cops. And I said call the cops for what this is insane. And that’s what the manager did cancel my order and told me to leave. All because I was frustrated that it had been almost 2 and half hours and just wanted to know what was going on, but because they were short staffed they blamed it on me for asking. I called corporate as well as the franchise owner and no call back after 8 calls I will never in my life eat at another dominos after that.”

“We had a rehearsal dinner catered by Moe’s a little over a week ago on Saturday night of Memorial Day Weekend. The event was in Bar Harbor. The food was excellent and plentiful. We had ribs, mac and cheese, cornbread, chicken, cold slaw , dessert and more. The two servers were the BEST. Mackie and Cody were great! Extremely personable and friendly to everyone. I would order from Moe’s again wthout a doubt.”

“The Main Tavern is an iconic pub in downtown Bangor. I particularly like the chicken wings with a glass of white wine. The service is fast and the ambiance is terrific. There is plenty of parking in back of the pub so you do not have to search for a parking space. There is a parking lot entrance on Main Street right beside the lit Hopeful Sign. This pub is the oldest family run business in Bangor. The Main Tavern maybe the oldest continuously run pub in the State of Maine. The patrons and owners are some of the nicest people I have ever met. This is a "must do" stop on your way to Bar Harbor and to the coast. I am not much of a drinker but I like the people and the atmosphere. I definitely will be back soon. Thanks Debbie and Peter for always making us feel welcome. We appreciate you. Support downtown Bangor and family run businesses!”

“Food was great, service was on point and organized!”

“The smash burger was the best we have ever had! Dough boy bites were so flaky and delicious ( like dangerously delicious lol) the quesadilla cheese pull was epic. The customer service was fantastic and the food was ready much quicker than I thought it would be. Will definitely be returning to try the other menu items asap!”

“We went for dinner at Uno's on a Saturday night, and were shocked to find the main dining room closed, and only about 6 tables in the bar occupied.\n\nIn any event, the server was very attentive, and the food, as always, was good without being exceptional, and served in portions that were too large to be eaten at one serving.”

“I have always been a huge fan of Aroma's and was so excited for this new location! Paige makes the BEST drinks and is such a sweetheart, but the whole staff is amazing too. Totally recommend stopping in!”

“Amazing experience. 2 Canadians driving through on their way to Atlantic Canada. Stopped and wanted my beloved Melon Burst only to find out it had been discontinued. Christopher is an amazing human being for taking the time to call another store set aside Starbuck's alternative (energy drinks) at another store. Amazing service, amazing atmosphere, and my drink was made to perfection!”

“Wife still loves this place come here almost every other week, just went through the drive through and sounds like it's a machine that takes your order now, it's pretty straight forward and clear and had no issue taking my order. Just thought it was a cool a robot took the order, to bad they couldn't make it sound like bender 🤣”
