“Food and beer are both great!!“

“Best restaurant around! Great Atmosphere, you feel right at home! Best pizzas around! Also a huge regular menu to choose from! Have been going there over 45 years! Love it!!!!“

“always good good prices too“

“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!!“

“Great Thai Food. A must try.“

“Great food great staff great atmosphere 10/10 best Chinese around! Took the drive up from Pittsfield Maine just for lunch“

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

“Timber Kitchen & Bar is easily one of the best spots in Bangor. The atmosphere is warm and stylish, perfect for a night out or a casual meal. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and quick without making you feel rushed. The food is so good, everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. Their cocktails are delicious, and the menu has something for everyone. I’ve never had a bad dish here. Whether you’re grabbing dinner with friends, going on a date, or celebrating something special, Timber never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“My wife and I popped in here on our way to Acadia National Park and it was a pleasant surprise! The restaurant is right on the river so you have a gorgeous view as well as access to the riverfront park. The first time we came, it was pretty cold, wet, and dreary outside and it was still such a nice view.

Service was efficient! As soon as we walked in, we were seated outside and were able to order a couple beers while we decided what to get for food. Both of the beers we got were sours or sour-adjacent and both were good!

For food, we started off with just a side of fries with the dirty seasoning (not the dirty fries on the menu, I believe these are new since we were there). The fries were just okay. They were very dark and not crispy so that leads me to believe that maybe they use peanut oil for frying? Not sure but they weren't the best. They needed a lot of salt as well. The sauces we ordered for dipping were the Bacon Blue Cheese, Liquid Gold BBQ and Black Garlic Ranch. All but the Gold were really tasty! The gold just tasted like honey mustard which is not what we wanted. We expected tang like a gold should be.

We also ordered burgers; the Sweet Hot Mess and the Butter Burger. Both were delicious but the Butter Burger was better. It was soooo buttery. Spot on! For sides, we got the Hoisin Sprouts and the Pork Cracklins with salt and vinegar seasoning. The sprouts were too sweet and not spicy enough for my liking. The cracklins....now THOSE are something to write home about. And in fact, I did say in the beginning that we came here more than once. And that was because of these cracklins. We stopped back in on the way back to the airport and best believe we took these babies back home to FL with us. Had the best post-travel snack on the couch!!

If we find ourselves in Brewer/Bangor again, we'll make a point to stop into Mason's!“

“Jason’s catered for our wedding & not only did the guests rave about how good the pizza was, but the service was top notch too! Definitely consider for your large events! They didn’t just deliver the pizza, without hesitation they set it up. Absolutely amazing! 5 stars because 6 isn’t a thing.“

“Amazing staff and great environment“

“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.“

“My first experience at Utopia was amazing! It was NYE and they were booked solid with reservations. We got there early and they were very kind and let us use a table, which I was not expecting. It did not interfere with anyone's reservations. The food was spectacular as well as the service. I highly recommend Utopia and I love that there were lots of vegan options!!“

“Very good good, fast service, and nice staff. Only complaint is this is an Irish pub, and they don’t know how to make an authentic Irish coffee. There was no whipped heavy cream on top, which was very disappointing. Did not drink the coffee. Was also served in a white ceramic mug, which is non traditional. The heavy cream whipped topping is what makes an Irish coffee great!“

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

“My favorite place to eat! I'm never disappointed.“

“my first experience yesterday I got the Hawaiian pizza combo with bbq chips and a fountain Pepsi for 7.00 it was so good and yes I will be back the lady at the counter was very nice and warned me that I would be back and she was right my buddy that i work with told me it was a must try and he was definately right❤️“

“The food was decent and the portions reasonable. While the flavors were good, nothing really jumped out at me as amazing. This does not mean I wouldn’t recommend it, only that it wasn’t a “wow” meal so much as a safe one.

The waiter was both patient and attentive. He saw to our orders and returned when we were ready. He was neither talkative nor social. There is an art to waiting tables and friendliness just wasn’t in his wheelhouse.

The restaurant was clean and presentable. But like the menu as well the waiter it wasn’t bold. A great place for a big family event.“

“Authentic New York style homemade pizza. We didn't think we could ever find it in Maine but this is the place!!! You don't need to order extra cheese. The sauce and cheese goes all the way to the edge. The place was very busy but the staff was super nice and friendly. Best pizza in Bangor!!!!“

“Great food. The service is verygood. .“

“Food and beer are both great!!“

“Felicia is an incredible server, prompt, precise and dedicated to Geaghan's! She's very attentive each time we have her as a server. We actually request to have her! Group of 7 ordered drinks and miscellaneous food items. The food was delicious. fresh and hot. Not one single issue with the order! The checks were accurate. Will definitely be returning!“

“Good pricing with good portions fish and chips were great.“

“Best comfort food around. I have not found one item I have not liked. The food is flavorful, good portion sizes and affordable. The owner truly cares about her customers.“

“Delicious food and friendly service!“

“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!!“

“Three of us stopped in for a late lunch at 3pm on A Wednesday. Margaritas, Coors and Diet Coke got us stared with chips and salsa. Lunch included tacos, a sampler trip and chicken chimichanga. The portions were huge and the food was good. The service was spot on too. Unbeknownst to us, we left a wallet at the restaurant. We called after hours (once we realized) and the staff worked with us to ge the wallet this evening. (It was needed for a flight tomorrow.). At pickup they were extremely gracious and would not accept a tip. I will go out of my way to eat there this summer!“

“Great food, great service!“

“Everything was perfect, love this place!“

“Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable staff, happy to explain menu options and spice levels.“

“Love the people there!!! They are always kind and welcoming!!!! 😉.“

“We've been looking for an Asian restaurant since moving here a year ago. We are very happy to find this place. The food was spot on, delicious, seasoned correctly, with generous scallops and shrimp. The folks there were so nice, customer focused.“

“This place had a lot of variety on their menu and and great portion sizes! I would definitely recommend this as a place where you can get a lot of bang for your buck. Our server, Lizbeth (sorry, I'm not sure if that's how it was spelt!) was so sweet and attentive.“

“OJ is a Bangor STAPLE! It has been there for as long as I can remember and it’s grown and changed along with the times, I wish they would open their buffet back up…. But if you want the best chinese food and best service, this is the place to go!“

“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!!“

“The food is pretty good, just not a. fan. of the spare ribs as they are rather tough and dry. I do love their crab ragoons , one of the better around alongside noodles (which I will admit is my favorite place to go for Chinese food). They are a bit pricey though.“
