Restaurants in Bangor

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

“I got the chicken and waffles and a side of pork belly which were both amazing. The combination of things they use to make each unique flavor was truly a treat! Good vibes were in the air when I walked in to pick up my food. Thank you a ton I wish Bangor wasn’t so far from Portland or this would be a regular place I would be dining at! ?”

“The food is greatly seasoned and fresh with generous amount of serving. We will definitely go back with some friends.”

“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.”

“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 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.”

“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!”

“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”

“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!”

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

“We finally tried this place, we can not rate experience higher! Food was perfectly cooked and flavorful!
The staff was above and beyond expectations, friendly, attentive diligent.
Food was delivered very timely, properly cooked and hot,
I traveled all over country including Maui .
This place rates in top tier of all restaurants we have eaten in!!

TRY THIS ONE OUT!!!”

“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 ☺️”

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

“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!”

“We absolutely love eating from Kebab Den the food is fantastic and you get generous portions. Have not been disappointed anytime we have take out!”

“Everything was perfect, love this place!”

“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!!”

“What an amazing Chinese food buffet. There are so many selections that you'll never eat all you want cuz it's all so good. The service was top notch, place was clean, everyone was pleasant and happy. You gotta eat here.”

“Excellent good, quality and customer service.”

“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”

“Amazing staff and great environment”

“My five year old son and I shared a Blueberry Shortcake with Cake Batter ice cream. We found the service to be extremely friendly, area was super cute and clean, food was delicious! Vlog on our experience can be found on our YouTube channel. Highly recommend!”

“Geaghans is a phenomenal Irish pub with delicious craft beer that they brew right on site. The food is always delicious with new specials on a regular basis. Highly recommended if you live in the area or are just passing thru.”

“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.”

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

“Sooo good! Excellent experience! Cute little couches to sit and eat your frozen yogurt treat on! I love all the flavors and toppings. If I still lived in bangor I would prob get super fat 🤣”

“I was extremely last minute in ordering a cake for my daughters birthday after our cake maker of 8 years moved away. On a Hail Marry, I messaged and asked about getting a cake made. The lady that responded was so pleasant and helpful and said we will make it happen. Not only was the cake better than I expected, it was one of the best tasting cakes I had ever had. I will 100% be ordering here from now on and have already made several recommendations. Thanks for saving my daughters party and making a stressed out mom feel some relief. Highly recommend!”

“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!”

“Lemon curry chicken salad is so delicious!!”

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

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

“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.”

“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! 🫣”

“Delicious food and friendly service!”

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

“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!!”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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!!”

“Best pizza in Bangor and the staff is always fast, helpful and friendly!”

“Best sandwiches ever!! highly recommend”

“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.”

“I absolutely love this bakery!
Their donuts are so fresh and light, not too sweet and super affordable!
We had the chance to taste their blueberry cake donut, and I highly suggest you try them!”

“Bruce is the absolute best! We always have a very delicious meal and great conversation. Clean and beautiful new decor. Great TV's for sport and new lighting makes it very inviting.”

“Hey, it's Sams Club, not one of Gordon Ramseys' greasy spoons. For a quick snack in the middle of your trip there, they do a good job with what they have to offer. You won't find better prices.”

“The woodwork is very nice. It has the feel of a local. It was clean. It was missing a dart board. The art was black and white...lacked colour. Our server was very accommodating and the bar tender was extremely friendly. The menu was kind of Irish. It does have the adopted bar dish of Bangers and Mash which the Claddagh uses the term " bratwurst" to describe the sausage. Lots of Guinness based dishes too...A bratwurst is a German sausage typically made with pork, often seasoned with spices like nutmeg, marjoram, and caraway, while an Irish sausage, also called a "banger," is a milder sausage with a higher proportion of meat and less pronounced spices, often including ingredients like breadcrumbs or rusk to create a softer texture. Fish and Chips and other bar staples were there....but it does not feel Irish.

I guess it meets the definition. An authentic Irish pub will be a very laid back and chill. This meets the bill. A good place for a drink if you get over it's a hotel bar with limited hours and serves tater tots/pizza.

So the order:
A salad was brought out. It was a garden salad. It only loses points based on the courtons having this dry crumbly look....it was a salad. Nothing lost nor nothing gained.

The soup of the day...was chowder.The name "chowder" comes from the French word chaudiere, which refers to a large, three-legged iron cooking pot. I mean chowder is traditional Irish. Again uninspired...No beef barley, curry soup (mulligantawny), potato leek....something!!!

Now, The special entree was great! I had the chicken pot pie. The pastry top was flaky and good. My party got there at 5:18. Despite us and only 1 other party being in the dining room...We were told that we ordered the last two! This was really great and I am sorry other patrons missed out. It was piping hot with potato, Mashed Potatoes smeared to adhere the pastry, carrots, peas, chicken (very little). Plating was messy. I give it a A- but because of the pastry. The filling was a B. Again, the staff made the atmosphere by being very kind.”

“The signature drink, The Blue Sky, is $3.50! It has 3 alcohols in it and was delicious. Loved the beer battered fish with a thin but crispy batter. My blueberry salad was great and the sandwiches were, too. Not fancy but comfortable. Attentive, friendly and efficient service. So very reasonable and tasty. A big menu also. This place is a gem!”

“The young man behind the counter that is always there he is amazing he is so so polite and thoughtful and hes great at his job. I purposely go to this subway because I know he will most likely be working.... he goes above and beyond to make sure customers are happy.. he definitely deserves a raise”

“Amazing service at dinner and breakfast is awesome Zoe was my server this morning she was amazing fast and welcoming she deserves some recognition Hollywood slots and casino.”

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

“Stumbled on the location by accident. Without a doubt, it was one of the BEST sandwiches I've ever had. Do yourself and taste buds a 'flavor' and order the Acadia. Excellent and attentive staff.”

“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!”

“Super friendly, fast and efficient. Great post workout food. Love the location!”

“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 ☺️”

“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.”

“Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable staff, happy to explain menu options and spice levels.”

“Fantastic service, great price, real food and ohh soo yummy. A real gem of a place! Will be a regular on all my trips to Bangor!”

“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.”

“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❤️”

“The Key Room was a fantastic experience. The cocktails were amazing, expertly made by Tan, the ambiance was intimate and friendly, and conversation was warm and went long into the night. Definitely a massive recommend if you happen to be traveling thru Bangor - especially on a Sunday night - where things seem to be otherwise asleep. A delicious touch of the big city in upper Maine. Tan makes you feel like a long lost friend. And the food from the other side of the bar looks amazing!”

“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!”

“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 pizza in Bangor and the staff is always fast, helpful and friendly!”

“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.”

Worth a stop for sure.”

“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!”

“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!!”

“I had the best time there on Monday! My drink was great and the food was amazing. The best part about my visit, my server! I sat at the bar and the girl who waited on us was phenomenal!! Give that girl a raise. Because of her, I’ll be back for sure!!!”

“Dietary restrictions: If you tell them they will do their best to accommodate almost any reasonable requests

Parking: I believe that they have like 36 parking spots if lot is full you could park nearby in the mall parking area behind Governor's just a short walk to the building most busy during day they have specials.

Kid-friendliness: They have crayons and some coloring pages .hi chairs an booster seats

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a wheelchair ramp and wheelchair accessible bathrooms”
