15 Best Burger Restaurants near Holden

“Dined there on 6/8/26 4pm. If Chloe would like to make more money waiting tables, she needs to improve her job performance (especially when the place is nearly empty). Always bring the condiment tray over to the table being sure it contains more than one napkin. After serving the food always return to the table no less than a couple minutes to make sure the customer(s) are satisfied with their food. Don't know who chooses the background music but that got one star. A return visit is in the future.“

“I knew this place was good because I ‘accidentally’ went twice in two days.
Day one: We grabbed a flight at the bar to sample the beers. (Highly recommend doing this if you're a craft beer lover like I am.) Bonus points for the Irish Wolf Hound white stout—it completely fooled me in the best way.

Day two: We came back because we couldn’t stop thinking about the hot dog on the pretzel bun... and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We ate our meal outside, watched dogs playing in the park by the river, and realized this is exactly the kind of place you hope to stumble across while traveling.
Great beer. Great food. Great atmosphere. The only downside is now we might have to explain to people why we drove back just to split a hot dog. Five stars. 🌭🍺🐕“

“They have the best scallops I've ever had! Most restaurants put so much coating on them but not these guys. They are the only place where I get seafood. I hope they stay around forever! The music is great too.“

“One of the absolute best burgers I've had in ages! Fantastic value! great staff! Next time we're in Bangor we'll be back for sure!“

“Don't recommend five guys because of the food. The burgers look more like smashburgers now meaning there's never a complete patty in your burger and I don't like that so you have a very low rating for me maybe a two out of 10“

“Good dogs, good beer, no soda fountain? It has a nice beer garden and the staff were very friendly. We went during happy hour during the summer, so it wasn’t crowded. I expect that will not be the case during the school year. The only things that gave me pause was that the food was fairly expensive for what it was (burgers, dogs, fries, etc.), and for those prices you are expected to bus your own tables. I don’t mind ordering at the counter, but if I’m paying $20 a person, I don’t want to have to bus my own table like I’m at home.“

“I went to get my dad some as I hadnt worked since they opened 🙄 turns out he already badgered mom into taking him. I was still pleased as he 80 ish more home bound & I was able to get his Hot Fudge on the side. So he wasn't fighting melting while he tried to eat.“

“NStopped in with my fiancé and two teenagers for a casual dinner. We ordered a mix of dishes — two chicken parms, a California chicken salad, and a fried chicken entrée — and everything was solid for a chain restaurant. No wait to be seated, and our food came out in about 20 minutes.
Our waitress was a standout — prompt, attentive without being overbearing, and never let a drink go empty. With a couple of cocktails between us, the total came to around $140–$150 for four people, which felt reasonable.
Applebee's has stayed consistent over the years, and this visit was no different. Nothing over the top, but good food, a comfortable atmosphere, and excellent service. Worth a stop if you're looking for a reliable, no-fuss meal.“

“Brewsters has great food, sports on the TVs, amazing drinks, for less cost than most other restaurants around Brewer & Bangor area. What makes it one of the greatest places around is the Staff and Owner they do so much for the community, help families in need and take amazing care of their customers especially those regulars who come in all the time. I would give my money to them before I’d ever give it to a huge franchise restaurant.“

“Oh how I miss this place. I was always going there in the late 90's and I swear I have not found a burger nearly as good as they made, haven't been there since I got pinched in 98 for robbing the Bangor Savings Bank. I really enjoyed that place, the atmosphere was so "cool." But the burgers, trust me world, the most absolute best I have ever had, give them a try, you won't be disappointed, I promise you that!“

“I had a breakfast bowl with my friends from church and it was outstanding .can’t wait to bring my family there.“

“Overall, a decent place. It was quite empty when I visited. I was the only non hotel patron there. I wasn't exactly sure if I should wait to be seated, as the server was in a different room when I got there, but once I sat down he came back in and his service was pretty good. Very chill and welcoming. The food itself is a little expensive for what they offer, but not terrible. The menu is super small. As in one side of one page for food small. I tried the mac n' cheese. Without the pulled pork, the actual mac was very creamy and tasty. The pulled pork was ok, but it was a sourer bbq than I'm used to. They had college football on that I was able to watch which was cool.“

“The Claddagh Irish Pub right in the hotel was super convenient for takeout. Tried three different dishes and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. The chicken pot pie is a must-try, seriously amazing. The steak was tasty too, little pricey but was really good. The boneless wings were good too but definitely not woth $16—like $4 a wing. Overall, great food with kind of high prices but worth it for some good food.“

“Great food and great service!“

“I would like to complain about my recent experience from DQ brewer drive thru... tonight, on 6/28 I ordered a blizzard. I pulled up to the window and they handed me my blizzard, melting. Dropped globs of ice cream all over my brand new shirt and seatbelt and then when I complained I got a few napkins, after the ice cream was melting down every side of the cup. Within 5 minutes the entire cup was about melted and I was sticky and disgusting. Worst experience I've had so far. 😡“
