Service was too-notch( 🙏 Natalie💕).
Drinks were excellent. My martini was a little too dirty . After I mentioned, Natalie smiled & said “ no problem”. Came back minutes later with a perfect one.
I had one of the best Burgers I’ve ever eaten Cooked exactly as I requested.
My partner had the fish & chips. The haddock was so good & the batter unique & scrumptious.

“Food and beer are both great!!”

“Late afternoon lunch on a rainy day. The place was empty but they welcomed us with a smile. The Ruben and Buffalo chix wrap were fantastic. Will be sure to come back when we're in town!”

“It was late and we were hungry but couldn't find a place so we checked in at the OHOP. Ended up getting two of the best pizzas I have had in a long time. We each had a beer too! We had never been here before but had a good experience and great pizza. We will be back!”

“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 love it here. I stopped by to pick up a pizza and the lovely owner graciously offered me a sample of a new dessert he is working on. He is calling it “Milkshake Cake,” and it was the perfect sweet treat. He is always working on something new when I’m here and if you are lucky enough to come when it isn’t busy; it is an absolute joy to witness his passion and excitement for what he does. It’s an added bonus to hear the kids singing and playing. 100 stars for being family owned & consistently delicious.”

“Best subway experience! Got asked if I was a umaine student and received the student discount and it was efficient and quick. This was customer service that I desire.”

“some of the best Chinese I've ever had! very nice wait staff and very fresh delicious food served promptly”

“recommend the breakfast burrito and the iced white chocolate latte”

“We’ve stopped at Aroma Joe’s multiple times while visiting our daughter at the University of Maine, and they’ve been consistently great every visit. The staff is always friendly, the shop is clean, and the coffee is excellent.

The location is very convenient to UMaine, and having a drive-thru makes it even better when you’re on the go. Friendly service, great drinks, and a positive experience every time. Couldn’t ask for much more.”
