“Great food with a welcoming atmosphere! Samantha was a great server, knowledgeable and friendly! Had the corned beef hash with eggs and toast, all cooked to perfection and great taste! Would recommend and will certainly be back!“

“This place will be on my list every time I visit my daughter at college. The place was big, clean, and had easy parking. The service was great and the food was amazing. Best pancakes I've ever had in my 55 years! And this was after they traveled 600 miles back home with me, lol.“

“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! 🤘🏼“

“My family and I had lunch on your deck at the Old Town location today. First time as we’ve recently moved to the area. Wonderful experience and we will return. Great food, great service, lovely atmosphere overlooking the river. Peaceful sound of the water flowing over the dam. A+……thanks.“

“Great food and an amazing staff“

“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.“

“Quick service , courtesy, and the bread pudding was to die for. I will be back to try the jambalaya.“

“The smash burger was the best we have ever had! Dough boy bites were so flaky and delicious ( like dangerously delicious lol) the quesadilla cheese pull was epic. The customer service was fantastic and the food was ready much quicker than I thought it would be. Will definitely be returning to try the other menu items asap!“

“money worth it, food was really good. bruschetta,pizza,freeze squeeze lemonade with real strawberries & raspberries (so refreshing) my shrimp scampi is yummylicious.. and oh the happy ending that kept me curious is their deserts...the server is great,her name becca.“

“Our FAVORITE restaurant! The food and atmosphere is perfect.“

“Delicious food and friendly service!“

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

“Very decent digs. Comfortable and clean, that’s the most important things. Outdated, but I get that. However, the prices at the bar are way way overpriced. And in the morning, $5 for coffee from a cranky guy. Ugh. But, front desk people were great.“

“It’s a great local place to visit with a wide verity of things you can get! I came in and was instantly greeted by the cashiers jayden and greg which both ended up selling me and my husband on plenty of desserts! I recommend for anyone to stop by and visit this restaurant!!“

“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.“

“The food is like wowwww good! I have had the street corn dip, the boneless tenders, and the birria grilled cheese, and they’re all so good! My friends got the burgers and said they were all awesome as well. Margaritas were also on point! Laid back with the best service! ❤️“

“Food and beer are both great!!“

“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.“

“Everything was amazing. The food was delicious , the service was quick, and the atmosphere was just right. The prices for the appetizers were a little expensive for the size 4 - 1 and 1/2 inch long slender boneless chicken tenders was over 15 dollars.“

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

“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!“

“We did not get to eat but had to come and write just how kindly we were treated. Dewey, the owner, was very apologetic and really didn't have to be. We were touring schools and were tired and exhausted and had no idea there was a hockey game. He took us outside to tell us about the area and offered several other spots to eat. I left saying to my daughter, I think I'd pretty much trust him with our lives. If she ends up in Maine you will have another family of regulars!!“

“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.“

“Great food and great service!“

“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!!“

“Although we had a reservation, it took three repetitions of our name for the hostess to find us. Not a positive start. Our server quickly made up for that (almost). She was competent, got our orders quickly and delivered them promptly. The food was also served timely and was good and hot when it arrived. My personal pizza was sort of dry, maybe over-cooked a bit. My daughter mentioned hers was as well. The others seemed satisfied that their food was okay, and it disappeared pretty quickly. The entire time, our server kept glasses filled and checked back frequently. The restaurant is not cozy. It's a big open place. Not too many tables were filled, so no interrupting nearby conversations. We will most likely go back. It is usually good food, but with Mother's Day, the kitchen may have had more to do so couldn't watch some of the food as well.“

“Everything was perfect, love this place!“

“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!!“

“Great food and great service!“

“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!!!“

“Great food and great service!“

“They’re good is pretty decent when they remember all the food you order. Tonight was the fourth time they forgot the fries or onion rings. There is always one side missing no matter what platform we order on (we’ve used DoorDash & UberEats).“
