Restaurants near Hallowell

“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.”

“Oh man, this place is overwhelmingly good! They have something for everyone! Also, their portions are huge, and the gentlemen at the window was so helpful and friendly! I had the gimme s'mores. It was delicious 😋 Worth the stop. Highly recommend.”

“Amazingly fresh authentic northern Italian. A true talent.”

“great coffee and amazing people”

“Love the drinks here!!! Wish I had taken a photo before it was gone! My boyfriend had a Long Island- so smooth! I had the campfire - AMAZING! Thank you for slaying the best drinks! Best service, best drinks, best atmosphere!”

“Went to this lovely place last night for the first time. Was greeted by the amazing bartender Matt. Made me feel welcome and I couldn’t have asked for a better night. I plan on going a lot more, would love to meet some friends.”

“I am so happy I decided to try out this restaurant my daughter is Gluten free and it's hard for us to find restaurants, we saw that this restaurant made gf pizza so we decided to try and to our surprise they had a lot of gf options! The food was delicious and we can't wait to come back to try more!”

“i haven't eaten at Bolleys since 1978 and I'm sitting in Texas raving to my niece about Bolleys hot dogs!!! YUM YUM YUM send me some!”

“We were in town visiting from Virginia and thought we’d give it a try, as the food smelled amazing as we passed by diners as went by the outdoor seating. We ordered the Chef’s cut steak, which came with roasted potatoes and carrots. DELICIOUS! The steak was cooked perfectly, the veggies were so good I could have eaten them for a meal. We had the triple chocolate cake for dessert, totally enough for two people. It was light, and not too rich. We also suggest the Lunch Pail for a drink. The outdoor seating is just perfect for a date night!”

“I would like to give a HUGE and I mean HUGE shout out to the woman working this morning alone when about 40 customers stormed her from the Walk for Hunger 5k that ended on your doorstep😂❤️ She was pressing a TON of ginger shots while making your always amazing smoothies and juices alone, and she did it with grace and a smile on her face like you were the only one there. Thank you so much, while you probably didn’t anticipate being the reward at the end you did an amazing job and we all appreciated you so much today!!”

“Can’t find better Chinese food in Maine”

“Food was excellent, great atmosphere, waiter was fantastic”

“freshly cooked and delicious...killer views”

“5/20/22 sticky table poor service sent mozzarella. sticks back (how can you mess those up?really) cold entree worst meal. so disappointing. Also watching owner out the window making out with some woman. unprofessional”

“Delicious food, fresh, perfectly prepared. Level 1 has just a tad of heat, if you want more you probably should order level 3 or 4. Almost every dish can be served vegetarian. I'm not sure about vegan but I bet it'd be doable as the staff is super friendly. My daughter and I have been ordering the same meals for years: veggie pad thai and veggie drunken noodles. We prefer extra veggies rather than tofu. I always add extra mushrooms. Crab rangoons are fresh and flavorful as well.”

“Our first time at Bintliffs. Busy but cozy... and the food was excellent. One thing detracted from the experience... I love rock and roll but not at a loud volume over breakfast at 8 A.M. I did ask (twice) if it could be turned down and was assured both times that it would be, but it didn't happen. Conversation with my breakfast company was difficult. So I'll give an A+ on the food, but the overall experience a B-.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Red Barn is hands-down the most family-friendly spot around! I have two little ones (ages 2 and 4), and it’s the first place I’ve truly felt welcomed as a parent. The staff are so kind, the food is delicious and comes out fast (a lifesaver with toddlers!), and the prices are super reasonable; perfect for a mama on a budget. You can tell they genuinely care about families and the community. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a meal, it’s always a positive, supportive, kid-friendly experience. We’ll definitely be back again and again! ❤️👨‍👩‍👧‍👧🍗”

“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!”

“Eating a Sobo pizza right now and had to come here to say that it is one of my favorite pizzas ever. It’s my second time ordering it and it definitely won’t be my last. So delicious!!”

“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 ❤️”

“Great service. Excellent food!”

“10/10 stand up place. Staff were kind and caring. Went above and beyond. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone!”

“What a sweet place! The service is wonderful, so fine to be treated with love. As you can see from the photo, the sausage gravy is humongous! and tasty too. But wait... who has these prices any more? Over in Rockland we have to pay $18 if we want sausage gravy and here it's less than half that AND you get two eggs and choice of sausage or bacon with it. Wonderful find. Can't wait to go back and try their salisbury steak or turkey dinner that everyone was ordering. Thanks Dave! (but moreso the wonderful waitresses)”

“Just learned this was originally Park's Diner on Front St. in Waterville!! I ate breakfast there all the time back in 1959 when I was a kid with my dad.”

“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!!”

“Placed a big to-go order including a hamburg pizza, chicken Alfredo, fish and chips, and some mozzarella sticks. EVERYTHING was great, and the fish portion was huge!! The cashier was super friendly, double-checked my order, and even opened the door for me to get out since I kinda had my hands full. We’ve ordered other things in the past, and the food and service is consistently good. We’re lucky to have this place!”

“Stopped in for lunch while passing through. Creative bagel choices (Fruity Pebbles, lemon bar, honey rosemary, to name a few). Great, patient service (so many chouces!). Super clean, great location! 😋”

“my favorite is the blueberry cheesecake, although trying something new is the best!”

“I have eaten here so many times, I can’t count. With friends, with family, by myself. And with being a transplant to the Waterville/Augusta area, and a foodie, this is by far my favorite restaurant in Maine.”
