New American Restaurants near Gorham, ME

“Sharing a few words about our incredible dinner recently. I had the best Bolognese ever. The Caprese salad was amazing as well. My lovely lady raved about the salmon she had. And the service was outstanding. Outstanding experience in every possible way. Thank you! We will be back soon!“

“I love this place and go maybe once a month with my son. We get a cigar, a beer or two, and usually burgers or some similar food.\nWhile the menu is not extensive, portions and prices are fair and the food is surprisingly good. I never come away from here hungry. \nI have been going here since I moved to maine in 1995 and now that I live 50 miles away in NH, after nearly 30 years i still enjoy coming to this place. Ali, the owner, is there every day, and is a fascinating guy to chat with. \nThe beauty of Calabash, is that it is not PC, this is a place that has managed to survive despite asinine regulations and restrictions on adult behavior; there is, to me, something civilized about having a cigar with a good meal. Support it.“

“Wonderful cocktails, house-made breads, delicious meals and dessert, loved our waiter (Johnny), great decor with touches of local seashore atmosphere, very welcoming.“

“I loved my salad and the service was good. The place is quite large (and not very busy) but there were long periods of time without service. Not our servers fault. Our booth was very nice and roomy but not visable to the rest of the restaurant. Our server really seemed to care. I was a little annoyed that the “free refillable sodas” that came with the kids’ meals was only for certain sodas. Not clear on the menu and not explained when we ordered. The kids would have been happy with cokes or sprites. $22 later on soda, when the bill came, we realized sofas weren’t so free. I don’t mind spending money but hate wasting it.“

“We stopped here after my husband a job in Scarborough, and wow… what an incredible surprise. The whole place has that true Maine vibe — cozy, welcoming, and super friendly. Our server Eric was awesome from start to finish. My husband ordered the pork schnitzel and absolutely loved it. I had the butternut squash linguine with prosciutto, roasted squash, arugula, and their homemade crostini bread… incredible. I even saved half so I could enjoy it again another day. Hubby tried two of their 5oz beers (Space Ghost and Santa’s Reinbeer) and enjoyed both. But the show-stealer? The apple crisp cheesecake. 🍎 Hubby took one bite and said, “This is so good it should be outlawed.” And honestly, he wasn’t wrong. It was ridiculous in the best way. We left talking about how we’re glad we live two hours away, because we’d be here every day if we didn’t. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area. Amazing food, great vibe, great service.“

“We really love this place. Stumbled on it by accident and now its one of our regular haunts when we are in Maine. The food is always delicious, we love trying new things they add. We love this restaurant and can't wait to be back.“

“Caroline was so helpful to me in arranging my wife's surprise birthday party. It was perfect and my wife and friends had such a great time! The food rocks and service is awesome! Thank you so much!“

“I love having this spot in Westbrook! The food is delicious and the wait staff is also so friendly. I love coming to eat here. Early morning weekdays are the best days because it’s quiet.
I like the set up and the lowkey diner feel, it gives a cozy vibe especially for breakfast.“

“Was there for the first time last night. Loved it. Great food. Great service and amazing atmosphere. Would recommend to everyone 👍 👌 😀“
