32 Best American Restaurants in Bangor

“Great food and an amazing staff“

“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.“

“A group of 20 for lunch. 1 waitress easily handle all the orders and with help quickly had us all served after a short wait for the kitchen to cook. Food was great. Low ceiling made it difficult for some to hear others us further tables but once we started eating we quieted down to enjoy the food.“

“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.“

“Quick service , courtesy, and the bread pudding was to die for. I will be back to try the jambalaya.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Our FAVORITE restaurant! The food and atmosphere is perfect.“

“Delicious food and friendly service!“

“Very decent digs. Comfortable and clean, that’s the most important things. Outdated, but I get that. However, the prices at the bar are way way overpriced. And in the morning, $5 for coffee from a cranky guy. Ugh. But, front desk people were great.“

“Timber Kitchen & Bar is easily one of the best spots in Bangor. The atmosphere is warm and stylish, perfect for a night out or a casual meal. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and quick without making you feel rushed. The food is so good, everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. Their cocktails are delicious, and the menu has something for everyone. I’ve never had a bad dish here. Whether you’re grabbing dinner with friends, going on a date, or celebrating something special, Timber never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“It’s a great local place to visit with a wide verity of things you can get! I came in and was instantly greeted by the cashiers jayden and greg which both ended up selling me and my husband on plenty of desserts! I recommend for anyone to stop by and visit this restaurant!!“

“Outstanding selection of Beers on Tap. We went in for Drinks and Nachos. Our server Sean was great, but very busy this restaurant was understaffed. We also got a piece of Apple pie to share which was a large slice. Entrees we saw go by our table really looked good. Will plan to have dinner here next time we visit the casino. There is ample parking in the garage at the casino.“

“Food was excellent quality with generous portion sizes. Service was a wee bit slow but absolutely not a problem. Our server was very attentive and friendly, overall a lovely wee place - will be back before our trip ends!“

“Other than it being slightly loud )it was also suoer busy) which the loudness wasn't a big deal for us, personally.. but some people may want to know how loud it before they go and dine there so I thought it was worth mentioning.

The food was delicious and the portions were amazingly huge! No complaints on the food front for us! Definitely will be going back to enjoy lunch next time since we had a late supper this last time.“

“The food is like wowwww good! I have had the street corn dip, the boneless tenders, and the birria grilled cheese, and they’re all so good! My friends got the burgers and said they were all awesome as well. Margaritas were also on point! Laid back with the best service! ❤️“

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

“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!“

“Everything was amazing. The food was delicious , the service was quick, and the atmosphere was just right. The prices for the appetizers were a little expensive for the size 4 - 1 and 1/2 inch long slender boneless chicken tenders was over 15 dollars.“

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

“Very good good, fast service, and nice staff. Only complaint is this is an Irish pub, and they don’t know how to make an authentic Irish coffee. There was no whipped heavy cream on top, which was very disappointing. Did not drink the coffee. Was also served in a white ceramic mug, which is non traditional. The heavy cream whipped topping is what makes an Irish coffee great!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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 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.“

“Great food and great service!“

“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!!“

“Overall, a decent place. It was quite empty when I visited. I was the only non hotel patron there. I wasn't exactly sure if I should wait to be seated, as the server was in a different room when I got there, but once I sat down he came back in and his service was pretty good. Very chill and welcoming. The food itself is a little expensive for what they offer, but not terrible. The menu is super small. As in one side of one page for food small. I tried the mac n' cheese. Without the pulled pork, the actual mac was very creamy and tasty. The pulled pork was ok, but it was a sourer bbq than I'm used to. They had college football on that I was able to watch which was cool.“

“Although we had a reservation, it took three repetitions of our name for the hostess to find us. Not a positive start. Our server quickly made up for that (almost). She was competent, got our orders quickly and delivered them promptly. The food was also served timely and was good and hot when it arrived. My personal pizza was sort of dry, maybe over-cooked a bit. My daughter mentioned hers was as well. The others seemed satisfied that their food was okay, and it disappeared pretty quickly. The entire time, our server kept glasses filled and checked back frequently. The restaurant is not cozy. It's a big open place. Not too many tables were filled, so no interrupting nearby conversations. We will most likely go back. It is usually good food, but with Mother's Day, the kitchen may have had more to do so couldn't watch some of the food as well.“

“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!!“
