17 Best American Restaurants near Oakland

“Very nice experience!“

“We live in Vassalboro, but this is one of the best eateries in the Waterville-Augusta area. We've eaten there about a hundred times, over the years and always get a good meal. Service is also very good and the waitresses are pretty cute, if that matters to you.“

“A cozy family-friendly space, the food was great. I loved the farmhouse salad! The balance of the sweet beets, salty feta, and tart vinaigrette was perfect. Definitely worth stopping by, they also have a dessert case full of sweet options: we tried the strawberry cream pie, lemon blueberry cake with cream cheese frosting (it was HUGE!) and the caramel bread pudding. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area!“

“The Best Meal I have had in awhile in Waterville, ME. The stuffed haddock holy smokes outstanding! The ribs on special yup they hit the spot! The side of French fries with the chicken gravy killer! The waitress was sweet, energetic and personable! The live music was fantastic as well. I would recommend 10 out 10! Peanut was amazing! Ask for her she makes the place!“

“Lion’s Den trivia on Monday nights are the best!!! Annie at the bar and Johnny on the mic make for a killer date night; never miss one when we are in town.“

“One of the best lobster rolls I’ve had in a long time, served on a nice toasty burger bun. You get your moneys worth, and it was well worth it! A big plus is this establishment accepts cards, love that! Super friendly staff, just like the little cover photo on here shows, they smile and are happy to see you. I will be back for sure! 🦞😋“

“Highly recommend!! It's Locally owned. Great food with a nice selection. Clean and friendly... I live in Farmington and will be going back soon!!“

“The best food I’ve ever had at a restaurant! Lori and her staff do an amazing job!“

“I do not know why this place don't have a Michelin star it is the best cuisine that I have tasted in a long time very best it's like you're sitting over in Italy at a five-star restaurant delicious!!!“

“Went to Ruby Tuesday on Wednesday and go the salad bar, which was suppose to be 6.99 on special when we got our bill the girl had charged us 12.99 each and we call her back to the table and told her she had made a mistake in the price she changed it to 6.99 but are we suppose to tell her we want the special? I thought if it was on special when you order salad bar you shouldn’t have to check your bill .“

“Not sure where these negative reviews are coming from my wife and I am stopped by today and and yes, the place is a little dated, but the food is excellent. Alicia our server was fantastic. My wife and I had 2 sandwiches plus fries and onion rings. That plus 2 fountain drinks came to $30. This is an amazing value. And a gem of a place especially if you love the diner vibe“
