New American Restaurants near Bangor, ME

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“My husband and I went here for dinner before a concert at the Amphitheater. It was BUSY! There was a 30 minute wait and our food took an hour to come out. Our appetizer came out with our meal too. However, the wings were really good and I recommend the smash burger! 5 stars for the service because our food took so long, our waitress felt bad and our meal was comped. This was a surprise and very appreciated. This place is big and when busy it can get loud! It can be hard to carry on a conversation, so I recommend not coming here if you’re looking to have a more intimate meal. But overall this place is a good option and within walking distance of many other restaurants and the concert venue.“

“First time there… not last😎
Service was too-notch( 🙏 Natalie💕).
Drinks were excellent. My martini was a little too dirty . After I mentioned, Natalie smiled & said “ no problem”. Came back minutes later with a perfect one.
I had one of the best Burgers I’ve ever eaten Cooked exactly as I requested.
My partner had the fish & chips. The haddock was so good & the batter unique & scrumptious.
Dewey( the owner) cane to our table ( as he was doing to all.
We had a fasinating & fun conversation.
I wished he could have joined us😂 but his restaurant was packed!
We will definitely have them
On our GO TO list 🤩“

“Great date spot on the rooftop! Awesome drinks! Thank you to our server, Morgan. He was sweet and attentive. My only suggestion is more vegetarian/vegan options. Will be back! 🤘🏼“

“I never miss a chance to eat at Dysarts. I grew up in northern Maine around truck drivers. I love that through the years Dysarts hasn't changed. Looks the same outside and inside as it did 30 years ago when I was in my 20s.
Great service, great food, great atmosphere.“
