9 Best Bar & Grill near Orono

“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!!“

“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.“

“An awesome restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, and delicious food. We've gone twice now, once in the afternoon when they were dead, and once later in the evening when they were SLAMMED, and the service was phenomenal both times.“

“Amazing food with good quality folks, awesome sound system so you can actually hear the jukebox. Must recommend the “In The Pub” Smash Burger; 10/10 legitimately the best burger I’ve ever had. A very group friendly location, for those looking to have get togethers/ socials. Absolutely 5 ⭐️, well worth popping in.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at the Tailwinds Grille located within the Aviator Hotel. Our lobster rolls were out of this world, the woppie pie dessert was great, and the service tonight was excellent. This place is super convenient for dining during an overnight stay, and the food is way better than what the reviews show.“

“Overall, a decent place. It was quite empty when I visited. I was the only non hotel patron there. I wasn't exactly sure if I should wait to be seated, as the server was in a different room when I got there, but once I sat down he came back in and his service was pretty good. Very chill and welcoming. The food itself is a little expensive for what they offer, but not terrible. The menu is super small. As in one side of one page for food small. I tried the mac n' cheese. Without the pulled pork, the actual mac was very creamy and tasty. The pulled pork was ok, but it was a sourer bbq than I'm used to. They had college football on that I was able to watch which was cool.“

“Great atmosphere, great food and great service!“

“Great tasting gyros. We tried both chicken and lamb gyros and they were great. The salad with Greek dressing was so fresh and delectable. Don't forget the baklavas warm with sweet honey and nuts. Highly recommended.“
