“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.“

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 !

“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.“

“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!!“
