“This was my first visit to Maine! I'm glad I got to have a quick lunch at Governor's. The onion rings with horseradish sauce were just wonderful! I also had the haddock chowder. It was delicious ?. The haddock sandwich was good, but a little one note. It could have used some additional flavor and texture. Overall though, it was a really nice lunch. And the bakery items looked amazing!!“

“Great date spot on the rooftop! Awesome drinks! Thank you to our server, Morgan. He was sweet and attentive. My only suggestion is more vegetarian/vegan options. Will be back! 🤘🏼“

“I got the chicken and waffles and a side of pork belly which were both amazing. The combination of things they use to make each unique flavor was truly a treat! Good vibes were in the air when I walked in to pick up my food. Thank you a ton I wish Bangor wasn’t so far from Portland or this would be a regular place I would be dining at! ?“

“This is a cafe run by students in the culinary arts program at EMCC. It is strictly by advance reservation. But, at the beginning of the semester, sign up for the list. The food takes on a different theme each month and as food goes, this is FABULOUS!!“

“Great atmosphere, beautiful building, good drinks and excellent food.“

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

“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.“

“Dietary restrictions: If you tell them they will do their best to accommodate almost any reasonable requests

Parking: I believe that they have like 36 parking spots if lot is full you could park nearby in the mall parking area behind Governor's just a short walk to the building most busy during day they have specials.

Kid-friendliness: They have crayons and some coloring pages .hi chairs an booster seats

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a wheelchair ramp and wheelchair accessible bathrooms“

“Other than it being slightly loud )it was also suoer busy) which the loudness wasn't a big deal for us, personally.. but some people may want to know how loud it before they go and dine there so I thought it was worth mentioning.

The food was delicious and the portions were amazingly huge! No complaints on the food front for us! Definitely will be going back to enjoy lunch next time since we had a late supper this last time.“

“I went to a Murder 207 mystery dinner and the kitchen staff was so accommodating to my celiac disease! They truly went above and beyond any place I have eaten in the Bangor area!“

“My sister and I had an excellent steak dinner on Sunday August 14th - the steaks were perfect! But the most amazing thing was the personalized service from Brian, the manager - let me explain - After dinner we started the arduous"trek" down Rt. 9 back home to Eastport. It wasn't until Monday morning that I realized I had left my wallet there. To make a long story short, Brian went beyond "the call of duty" and sent my wallet back via Fed. Ex. on his day off ! Thank you Brian for helping an old lady assuage her worries - you' re a doll!“

“Today ended up be our home away from home as we rode the storm out! We made friends today! Great group of musicians, fantastic atmosphere, and homemade food to die for. The brew and wine selection was absolutely amazing as well. We'll be back to visit!“

“I stop in here while I was visiting my family back home. The atmosphere was wonderful and the food was even better. I had the pumpkin chocolate chip cookie imperial stout along with a chicken burger with a blueberry sauce. The food and drink were fantastic and I even went back for another IPA. I will make it a point to come back here when I am back in this neck of the woods.“

“I have been going to seasons for 10 years. We go every Friday after work for the 6 appetizer and drinks. Sometimes for a full meal. Some of us got the 6 appetizer ; some a meal. We went to check out. 2 of us noticed the 6 appetizers were being charged full price. We brought it to waitress attention. She said that they only charge the $6 price if the patron asks for it. The price on the menu shows the 6 price and happy hour is 3 to 6. Why should a patron have to ask for the discount that they advertise for. This is not right. This is under handed. I wondered in the past when they brought my bill and they had to redo it to the 6 dollar price. I am very dissappointed.“

“I had the scallop risotto, delicious! The fried gren beans were thee best I ever had. The smash burger my partner had was perfect. The coconut shrimp app was so good. The waitress was quick and courteous. Even on a busy Saturday night. I definitely recommend.“

“Great service, great food and great beer! Casual ambience and a fun place for date night.“

“Awesome food and a great view of the Penobscot Valley Country Club golf course. Went to a fun event for the Kentucky Derby this year and they had drink specials and a special menu including an incredible "burgoo" soup that I've never had before.“

“The food was absolutely incredible! Fish and chips came with a piece of fish that was massive and cooked to perfection! Fried cheese curds were perfect. Add to that literally the best service I've ever had at a restaurant from Melissa G. and there is no way I won't be a repeat customer for years to come! If I could give 10 stars, it still wouldn't be enough!!“

“Great food and great service!“

“Nachos? More like not gonna order them again. Mostly vegetables, maybe 10 chips. Drinks? 8/10 pretty stiff drinks yum, however, old fashioned was watered down and tasted like fireball, not great. Entrees? Now that’s some bomb food would recommend to a friend.“

“At Uno's in Bangor, ME yesterday (04/15/25)....My husband doesn't like the chunky sauce and likes the sauce on the bottom....my exact order was marina sauce (not chunky) and sauce on the bottom, no sauce on the top like a regular pizza ....my order WAS repeated back to me correctly. Great, see you in 25 minutes. How'd they do?? Sauce all over the top....it was marina but I specifically asked for the sauce to be on the bottom. Even the tag in the pizza box was correct. When I called them to complain as this is the SECOND time this has happened (first time we didn't call) the manager (who also made this pizza) made all kinds of excuses, this is how we do it, we don't make them with no sauce on the top, try calling in your order next time vs doing it online (this was a call in order not online), maybe explain it better next time, maybe tell them you want it made in the reverse order.... In the end, we still have this pizza, not guaranteed a refund and they've lost us as a customer!! $51 plus a $5 tip for this pizza & a gluten free. I just checked my bank account and I'm not seeing a charge yet so maybe she did refund after we hung up but not sure yet. Very poor customer service, especially by the manager!!“

“Everything was perfect, love this place!“

“I had the best time there on Monday! My drink was great and the food was amazing. The best part about my visit, my server! I sat at the bar and the girl who waited on us was phenomenal!! Give that girl a raise. Because of her, I’ll be back for sure!!!“
