8 Best American Restaurants near Lovell

“Lovely hidden gem in Western Maine. Ended up stumbling upon this place by accident after doing a big hike at pleasant mountain.

If you are looking to eat there, make sure to call ahead if you do not already have a reservation! We typically go much earlier in the night, but once it starts to get to dinner time, the place is in high demand and there is limited seating.

The beer selection is of the highest caliber. My jaw hit the ground when I realized how many Russian River beers were on. Tap when we went, not just available by a bottle.

There's a lovely little European style beer garden that sits just outside of the porch style seating. It overlooks the golf course, very much reminds me of having a beer in a back garden in London.

The wait staff are very nice and if you are lucky enough to get to talk to the owner, He's extremely knowledgeable about beer and really great to talk to.

I saw a few other reviews that were not as kind, but I think a lot of Americans don't really get the concept of a pub landlord. When you're at Ebenezer's, you're at his house. It's important to be a respectful guest.

We went there at the start of summer 2025, and then we loved it so much I think I've been back like four times this summer and I'm sure I'll be back a few more times before it gets too cold.

When we have people visit internationally, this is going to be a place we take them.“

“A diamond in the ruff for sure. Drove by and parking lot was full. Decided to turn around and give it a shot. Looked like an old general store. Great Food. Definitely will be making a stop back in soon. We had the ribs and seafood combo plate. With coleslaw, potato salad, onion rings and fries. All excellent. Well seasoned. Great flavors.“

“We loved staying at the CLI. Rose is an amazing host, she did everything to make us comfortable and feel home. Beds are super comfy, the bathroom is well stocked and the room is spacious. For breakfast you can pick from savory or sweet and it is delicious. I would for sure stay there again if I return to the area.Food & drinks: Delicious and generous portions“

“Pleasant point is a peaceful retreat on the most pristine lake I have ever seen! The restaurant has amazing food and cocktails and has beautiful rustic decor. The furnishing and front porch of the in are welcoming, cozy and are exactly what you would hope for in a Maine lodge. Scott and Beth are such great hosts! We will definitely be back!“

“🌸 A Toast to Life, Love, and Literature—at Stella’s on the Square! 🌸 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Today, Stella’s on the Square wasn’t just a venue—it became a living, breathing storybook filled with laughter, tears, and love as we celebrated the extraordinary life of Cathy Cote (1967–2025). An aspiring author, a quiet storm of strength, and the kind of woman whose presence lingered long after she left the room. Her family turned the space into something magical. 💌 Pam read beautiful excerpts from Cathy’s unfinished book—words so heartfelt you could almost hear the pen still scribbling. 🛠️ Paul, her husband and emotional rock, was the embodiment of steady, supportive grace. 🎬 Crickett Cote, author and screenwriter, and chef extraordinare delivered moments of wit and warmth like a poetic stand-up act—honest, raw, and hilarious. 👧 And Darcy, Cathy’s youngest daughter, carried herself with quiet strength and glowing love, a reflection of her mother’s legacy wrapped in grace and soul. Cathy’s spirit filled every corner, whispering, “A life so beautifully lived deserves to be beautifully remembered.” And wow—was it ever. 🎶 Live music swayed with the floral decor. 🍴 The food was “hug-your-chef” good. 🍸 The cash bar? Let’s just say it kindly turned tears into toasts. But Stella’s—oh, Stella’s! The staff weren’t just servers, they were part of the experience. They moved through the room with compassion and charm, making it feel like your favorite aunt’s living room (if your aunt happened to have impeccable taste and event-hosting superpowers). Every detail—every flower, every flicker of candlelight, every note of the music—was a love letter to Cathy. She may not have finished her book, but today, we all lived in the final chapter together. A chapter written in hugs, memories, and a little Chardonnay. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate something—or someone—truly special, let Stella’s on the Square be the backdrop to your next unforgettable moment. ✨ Cathy would’ve adored this review. But more than that, she would’ve adored that so many showed up, laughed, remembered, and stayed a little longer than planned—just like she always did. #CelebrationOfLife #CathyCote #StoriesLiveOn #DarcyStrong #StellasOnTheSquareMagic #LiveLaughRemember“
