Restaurants near Gardiner

“First time trying today, we have lived in Gardiner for 7 years and have never eaten here until today. Will definitely be back and recommend others to come try. French toast was delicious, was enough for two meals or next time to share with the other half. Can’t wait to try other dishes again! Awesome to see the owner working behind the line as well, he was so happy preparing dishes and you could tell he really loved and put a lot of passion into each and every dish. This is our new favorite place. 5 ⭐️”

“I live in Wichita Kansas. No one here knows what a Woopie pie is. I am from Mass and my niece sent me 1 dozen of these pies from Gardiner Me and she lives in Maine. I had two pies with milk. I am in heaven. They were great tasting. Recommend for everyone.”

“My favorite pick me up! Stopping here for a drink makes my day!”

“For a place that doesn’t serve food , just beer and booze this place is a winner!
This place has “30” Taps on bar for your pleasure.
My favorite “ Alligash White” is always available each and every time I’ve stepped into this fine Pub! I give this place a 5 star revue because of a few things off the top of my head. First and foremost is the Bartender’s! And other employees! They are amazing and make you feel at home, they remember you when you come back and that’s a lot for this day and age of fast food dive bars and pubs everywhere !!!
There is plenty of fresh food around with a Chinese place just next door ( the bar staff stocks plates and utensils for you if didn’t get any when you bought your food…)
As always don’t forget tip the bartenders especially Danielle !!!!
they are the ones that make it all happen!”

“My family and I go to The Depot on a weekly basis! Amazing staff, food, drinks! Atmosphere always makes you feel comfortable and instantly have a great time. Highly recommend! Once you go, the people will bring you back over and over again, they are the most amazing part!”

“This was hands down the best burrito I’ve ever had in Maine. Grilled veggies, pulled chicken, homemade tortilla…divine! People of Gardiner and visitors—don’t go to McDonald’s, get Lisa’s!”

“The food is always the best I’ve had in Maine. I have eaten authentic Chinese food in China Town NYC. Tonight though, I got food poisoning from their crab rangoons. Eaten there a lot. 1st time sick.”

“Best experience I’ve had at the Gardiner Subway, thanks to Aaron! I almost gave up on this location (due to bad past experiences there) but I was lucky enough to be served by him tonight, and he totally changed my mind. He was friendly, polite and went above and beyond to give my boyfriend and I a good experience and a great meal. Best subway sandwich I’ve ever had. We will continue visiting this location because of Aaron!”

“Went there just as they were closing, and they didn’t have any hot coffee or strawberry pies, but the worker there made it right for us. Good service, 10/10 would recommend.”

“Got Mt Everest, SOBO pizza and an order of pretzels. Everything was awesome. This was our 1st visit. Highly recommend!”

“I've been coming here since I was a kid, now I get to take my kids and we all enjoy the food! The only place I will eat seafood, the haddock is SO good I also enjoy the chicken, mozzarella sticks and whoopie pies! Fast service and everyone is so kind! The summers our family enjoy the outdoor seating! It's 100% worth the drive if you live far away.”

“I tried Thai food for the first time on September 12th. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience at Thai For Us. Excellent service, food and atmosphere. I highly recommend Thai For Us!”

“There are so many reasons I love Sunrise. For starters, there’s the great food, but it’s so much more than that. This is a local business that seriously and genuinely invests in its community and THAT is why it will be here for a really long time. I’m convinced it will be a “generational business” that will be in the Central Maine business landscape for YEARS. The creative menu and excellent customer service are 2/3rds of the success - the community heart is the secret ingredient ❤️”

“Gabrielle M was a wonderful server; she knew the menu, had great timing, and was charming and helpful. We love Margaritas in Augusta where the food never disappoints and is always delicious.”

“Traveling through Maine from Ohio. Saw Slates mentioned in a Maine tourist magazine. Met friends here and were totally impressed with the special menu. Our waiter, Michael, was the BEST. He shared with us the story of how the restaurant began and other interesting background information. The food was delicious. If we were going to be in the area longer we would definitely make it there again.”

“We had the BEST lunch here! Everything was delicious, beautifully presented and our server, Chris, was amazing and SO much fun! Definitely going back the next time we are in town! 👏”

“Outstanding place that never fails to treat us to a wonderful meal. Awesome people & awesome cooks here! Absolutely love being a part of this area to be able to enjoy such wonderful food!”

“My husband and I visited State Lunch recently and our experience was incredible… literally a perfect night out for us. The atmosphere is great, the bar is gorgeous! We started off with drinks, tried several margaritas, all delicious! Everything we ordered for dinner was cooked to perfection, the food options were unique and all amazing! … the waitstaff was very friendly and the owner makes himself a familiar face.. he makes it a point to stop by to say hello and make sure you’re enjoying yourselves… can’t wait to get back there! Keep up the great work!”

“Awesome place that supports everyone!!”

“Very good ice cream stand with a lot of options to choose from. I was surprised that they did not have any Italian ice, but they did have peanut butter soft serve a cherry milk shakes. Very cool...”

“Wonderful vibe great coffee and food”

“Once you step inside, you will be greeted by two incredibly warm and friendly brothers. Their menu offers a wide variety of options, but what delighted me the most was their authentic homemade Lebanese cuisine. The Grapeleaves are AMAZINING. They have the best homemade fries around. The cleanliness of the place is also worth mentioning, as I observed their meticulous attention to detail while they cleaned. I am eager to revisit this establishment and would wholeheartedly recommend it to others.”
