Restaurants near Hampden

“Third trip back to my husband‘s home state of Maine and we found this wonderful restaurant with breakfast served all day. Between the strawberry rhubarb jelly and the grilled biscuits and the incredible food served by a very friendly and attentive staff we ended up coming back the very next day and will probably frequent this café several more times before we leave the state. 💚🎶💚”

“10/10 customer service. The owners are very kind people. Would recommend just for the friendly atmosphere. Lovely people. I hope one day there’s lines out their doors waiting to go in just because they deserve it for who they are as people.”

“My husband and I have been trying to stop in for months but our schedule just never matched up with the times they were open. we happened to have a late day last week and stopped in on Friday and we each got a drink. I tried the cotton candy energy bomb and added Boba. o.m.g it's my absolute favorite I've been getting it every chance we can stop in! We stopped this last Sunday on our day off and told one of the lovely ladies working that we wish they opened earlier as we get to our store around 530ish and she mentioned the owner would most likely be here by the time we came through at 530am. Sure enough Monday morning the owner was there and welcomed us with open arms for our drinks, thank you for making our day so great! 😁”

“The owners are very down to earth and personable. The food is delicious, homecooked, and so good. The first time we came in,we had breakfast. Everything was fresh and the toast homemade. The second time we had dinner. I had the chili bowl and hubby had the reuben. It was delicious. We just moved here from New York state. Happy we found this unassuming gem.”

“An amazing neighborhood pizza place. Service was incredible, the menu selection is HUGE, and make sure you leave room for the desserts! Might come back to Maine just to visit again!”

“Friendly staff, pizza was doughy and floppy. I personally prefer my pepperoni on top of the cheese for two reasons. I like to get a little char on the edges of the pepperoni, and you are less likely to pull all of the cheese and toppings off when the toppings aren’t all melted together with the cheese. I ended up with a mouthful of cheese and toppings, and left with bread and sauce. Good ingredients though. The dough was flavorful. Good football pizza.

24 hour update** reheating the slices on a pizza steel makes them delicious. Gives it the crisp it’s missing.”

“Great pizza. Fast delivery.”

“I have a wonderful time here. This is one of the only Subways in the Bangor area that takes their mail coupons without either excepting some deals or not taking coupons at all, which is why I first began driving out of my way to come here. The employees are always friendly and patient and I always enjoy my sandwich. Will continue driving here when I want Subway.”

“I ordered the beef lo-main. It came with pork fried rice and your pick of a side, which I chose chicken fingers. It was ALL very delicious!! Also I was most definitely happy with the portion for the money!! I would definitely recommend and I will definitely be going back!!”

“I got what I wanted. Very friendly service and a dollar from my iced coffee went to the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital.”

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

“An awesome restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, and delicious food. We've gone twice now, once in the afternoon when they were dead, and once later in the evening when they were SLAMMED, and the service was phenomenal both times.”

“Great food and an amazing staff”

“Greatest food and service, good coffee”

“The customer service is top notch. I had a problem with one of the items we purchased, I called the store and it was immediately taken care of. The woman was polite, friendly and apologized for the mishap.”

“Love the gluten free options. The frosted brownies are amazing. The mint frosted brownie is out of this world!!! Sometimes I’ll be there when there’s a GF éclair. Have had the tuna melt with GF cheese bread. Sooo good. All kinds of other great choices. Staff and owners are helpful. I”

“Energy drinks are incredible 😍!! super unique flavors!”

“The food here NEVER disappoints, we’ve been a handful of times since moving to Bangor, but the bartender working tonight was so loud and obnoxious! She was yelling over the music (which wasn’t enough to warrant yelling) to chitchat with people dining at the bar. We could barely carry a conversation across the room, she was so disruptive. This is a small place, noise carries.

High marks because our actual server and food were great, but I’m pretty hesitant to come back simply due to the noise level.”

“First time here this season and as usual, it did not disappoint! I ordered the crab roll instead of my usual lobster roll and it's an 11/10! Fresh hot hand cut fries, perfectly salted. Cold, crisp pickle. a generous portion of fresh crab in a tiny bit of mayo on top of a small perfect amount of lettuce, stuffed in a fresh buttered and toasted bun, and a 4oz container of fresh home made Cole slaw. It doesn't get any better, or more fresh! There's a reason they've won best food truck in the Bangor area for several years in a row. Pro Tip- eat the fries first! They're always fresh and hot, but if you don't eat them first, they cool off quick. They have 5 picnic tables with umbrellas you can eat at, or eat it right in your car. The cherry on top is the excellent choice of tunes playing, and the amazing customer service. Don't change a thing!”

“The food is excellent!

This is one of the few places in Maine that has very tasty and unique dishes, However, the food took a long time to get to our table.”

“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.”

“We had a rehearsal dinner catered by Moe’s a little over a week ago on Saturday night of Memorial Day Weekend. The event was in Bar Harbor. The food was excellent and plentiful. We had ribs, mac and cheese, cornbread, chicken, cold slaw , dessert and more. The two servers were the BEST. Mackie and Cody were great! Extremely personable and friendly to everyone. I would order from Moe’s again wthout a doubt.”

“The Lazy Hound is my go to option in downtown Bangor for fresh food and good drinks at a great price. The food is consistently high quality and made with fresh, unprocessed ingredients. I have tried a bit of everything on the menu and never been let down.”

“Great food, long wait times due to be so busy! Who knew!!! But seriously, their menu items are worth the wait! Our family has had an opportunity to try several items. From Maui breadsticks to salads to wraps to pizza’s to desserts. We loved them all! Maui breadsticks were amazing. 4 generous stuffed breadsticks with a side of marinara. We have had 12 in, 14 in pizza’s and by the slice. Toppings chosen: buffalo chicken, cheese, pepperoni with and without hot honey, perfectly baked. We also have had their Margherita pizza with minced garlic, incredible. Our family favorite is the chicken broccoli Alfredo, absolutely delicious. We have also had their turkey BLT, buffalo chicken wrap and ham Italian sandwich. They were flavorful and tasty. We have also enjoyed their grilled chicken Caesar salad as well as their garden salad, generous portions and great. And we completed our dining take out experiences with maple walnut whoopie pies…OMG!! Such goodness! If you’re in the area, and have a chance to pop in or place an order on line you will be very happy and looking forward to your next visit!”

“Amazing staff and great environment”

“Amazing food with good quality folks, awesome sound system so you can actually hear the jukebox. Must recommend the “In The Pub” Smash Burger; 10/10 legitimately the best burger I’ve ever had. A very group friendly location, for those looking to have get togethers/ socials. Absolutely 5 ⭐️, well worth popping in.”

“I would absolutely recommend Smokey’s! We moved here from Texas and this is the closest we could get to good bbq here! My main note is that the Mac and cheese wasn’t hot (temperature wise, it was warm/cool) and I prefer my brisket to have a thicker bark on it but that’s purely personal preference. Everything was delicious!!”

“Great local spot, always really good food!”

“Chimera is hands down the best place in town for a perfect coffee or snack. I always feel incredibly welcomed when I pop in for a delicious signature latte’. Their coffee is so smooth and pairs perfectly with any of their amazing food items. It’s warm and inviting and the service is always prompt and pleasant. 1000% recommend this place!”

“Lovely place for breakfast, the coffee was delicious and the service was incredible! The staff were very friendly and we were greeted immediately. Would absolutely recommend if you are in the area to stop in!”
