45 Best American Restaurants near Brewer

“Their lobster rolls are AMAZING, huge and delicious. Their French fries and coleslaw are the best. We got ours “to go”. Everything is packed separately: lobster meat in PINT-SIZED containers, coleslaw, French fries and two rolls (there’s more than enough lobster to fill two rolls). They deserve 10 stars, but 5 stars is the limit.“

“Great tasting gyros. We tried both chicken and lamb gyros and they were great. The salad with Greek dressing was so fresh and delectable. Don't forget the baklavas warm with sweet honey and nuts. Highly recommended.“

“Had drinks at the bar. As always service was great. They were short handed and Tiffany and Matt had it under control.“

“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!

“This was my first visit to Maine! I'm glad I got to have a quick lunch at Governor's. The onion rings with horseradish sauce were just wonderful! I also had the haddock chowder. It was delicious ?. The haddock sandwich was good, but a little one note. It could have used some additional flavor and texture. Overall though, it was a really nice lunch. And the bakery items looked amazing!!“

“This is a cafe run by students in the culinary arts program at EMCC. It is strictly by advance reservation. But, at the beginning of the semester, sign up for the list. The food takes on a different theme each month and as food goes, this is FABULOUS!!“

“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! 🤘🏼“

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

“We moved here in Hermon two weeks ago. This place is AMAZING. The service was spot on and the food, sooooooo good. Don't let the short term parking discorage you. It's only 1.00 an hour. And that is worth it. I had the chicken picatta. It was delicious. My husband had the strip steak with garlic butter, sautéed with mushrooms, onions and baked potatoe. He ordered blueberry pie for take home because he ate his whole dinner plate. Highly recommend“

“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 Outdated, but I get that.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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Everything is fabulous at this restaurant. The food is to die for and the service is second to none. I come here every chance I get.“

“I went to a Murder 207 mystery dinner and the kitchen staff was so accommodating to my celiac disease! They truly went above and beyond any place I have eaten in the Bangor area!“

“I stop in here while I was visiting my family back home. The atmosphere was wonderful and the food was even better. I had the pumpkin chocolate chip cookie imperial stout along with a chicken burger with a blueberry sauce. The food and drink were fantastic and I even went back for another IPA. I will make it a point to come back here when I am back in this neck of the woods.“

“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!“

“First time going to Geaghan's. Walked in and immediately the atmosphere was relaxed, welcoming, and pleasant. People were having fun, making it easy to enjoy our time. The staff were very easy to talk to. They were helpful, knowledgeable about their menu items, and friendly. We will definitely be making this one of the regular places to go.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“I had the scallop risotto, delicious! The fried gren beans were thee best I ever had. The smash burger my partner had was perfect. The coconut shrimp app was so good. The waitress was quick and courteous. Even on a busy Saturday night. I definitely recommend.“

“I have been going to seasons for 10 years. We go every Friday after work for the 6 appetizer and drinks. Sometimes for a full meal. Some of us got the 6 appetizer ; some a meal. We went to check out. 2 of us noticed the 6 appetizers were being charged full price. We brought it to waitress attention. She said that they only charge the $6 price if the patron asks for it. The price on the menu shows the 6 price and happy hour is 3 to 6. Why should a patron have to ask for the discount that they advertise for. This is not right. This is under handed. I wondered in the past when they brought my bill and they had to redo it to the 6 dollar price. I am very dissappointed.“

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

“Every trip to Ogunquit includes at least one meal at Pepper's Landing. I have celiac and must remain strictly gluten-free. Not only do you have excellent gluten free choices, the staff is very conscious of my needs and I have total confidence.“

“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.“

“The Best restaurant Mac & Cheese around the Bangor Brewer Area with Sweet Thai Chili Tenders The Best Around!“

“Awesome food and a great view of the Penobscot Valley Country Club golf course. Went to a fun event for the Kentucky Derby this year and they had drink specials and a special menu including an incredible "burgoo" soup that I've never had before.“

“Great food and great service!“

“Food was quick but not rushed, as well as perfectly cooked scallops (Haddock and Scallops), the burger presentation was excellent(Caprese Chicken Burger), the salad was very well balanced(Greek Salad), service was pretty remarkable, we went out for date night and are a younger couple, our waitress was absolutely fantastic, super friendly and observant, the atmosphere allowed us to feel comfortable in the space, the “dimmed” lighting was relaxing while also allowing parties to feel more intimate and connected with ease, overall, Yamas is by far one of the most down to earth, and personable restaurants I’ve been to in a while.“

“Tasty bread and baked goods at a fraction of the price you'd pay at other stores. ($1.29 for a nice loaf of multi grain bread is a steal these days!) One thing to keep in mind is some loaves are close to their sell by date. I've never had an issue since my family eats it quickly, but I wouldn't buy it to let it sit for a long time.“

“We were there for the American legion conference during the storm and they had very little help in the bar and restaurant so the hotel pulled a young man from the front desk to help out and he ROCKS!!! He ran his butt off for everyone and made sure we were all taken care of. Very impressed! Thank you!“

“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!“

“From Texas With Love!
Wife and I read the reviews. Then tried it for ourselves.. Pot roast was Good, Super Tender, homemade gravy, Mashed "taters" and the Chicken pot pie was Awesome As well. Full of chicken, flakey and the cranberry sauce was a nice touch along with the homemade rolls. $40 bucks out the door...! Thats abig ten 4,We will be back.
We also have noticed that when a place is full of locals; you know you're in the right spot..
Beans were good also. And definitely home made..“

“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 food, attentive servers. Management was spot on. Thanks for a great dinner“
