“Went there for New Years Eve at the new location. They told us it was going be at least a 45 minute wait and we were ok with that. Host took our phone number and added us on the wait list on his tablet. Took a seat out by the host stand and waited. Another couple came in about 15 minutes after us, also a party of two, and the same host told them it was going be a wait and they took a seat next to us. Even though we had been there 15 minutes longer and greeted by same host with tablet, he forgot about us and seated them first. Even though we were waiting right next to them and he looked right at us when he came to tell them to follow him to a table. We finally just got a seat at the bar. We ordered appetizers, two rounds of drinks and dinner. Again told it was going be a wait because kitchen was backed up. That was fine. Got our drinks and appetizers. Then my girlfriend’s entrée finally came out but they forgot to bring mine! I thought it would be out in a few minutes, but after 1o more minutes waiting for my food I finally inquired, and they had somehow forgotten my entrée. They comp’d one round of drinks. Love the new location. Love the food. But we chose the wrong night to go! I’ve never gone out to eat and ordered the food and had them forget to bring my entrée out.. By the time I got my dinner my girlfriend was done with her food. Just asked them to bag it for take-away. Still tipped 20% as I’ve worked twenty years in resturants. Kind of disappointed with New Years Eve dinner. Took the night off early to go have a nice meal and they forgot my meal!“

“This dessert bar was the highlight of our trip. Absolutely love the decor and that they had non alcoholic rosè. The chocolate cake was delicious and had a chocolate ice cream layer and raspberry layer. Wish a place like this was more close by to where I live! Seemed to be a popular destination for many. Enjoyed the sweet cream ice cream next door and the unique flavors.“

“We LOVE an evening out at Tuscan Table, South Portland location in fact we go every week! Our preferred place to sit is at the bar where we know we will always get excellent service from our favorite server Sammy. Sammy always greets us with a friendly smile and remembers what we like to drink, she also remembers how we like each dish that is ordered prepared even if we forget to ask, she knows. Sammy makes eating at the Tuscan a wonderful welcoming experience every time. Thank you Sammy and see you next week! Nancy & Eddie“

“We have lived in Scarborough for 2 years now and just had the opportunity to eat at Jojos Thai Kitchen. Ordering online was a breeze. Pickup was on time. The food was great. Me, my husband and my three teenagers all loved the food. I especially loved the tofu noodle dish. We will definitely eat here again.“

“The BEST banh mi and bubble tea. Specials rotate so there is always something new to try. The bread is always perfect. They cater and do pop-ups…which often feature the best egg roll I’ve ever had.“

“I’ll change to 5 star when they commit to being a business. By far the best pizza in the area and in my top 4 life to date. Only problem…. How do you run out of dough at 6:30 on a Friday night. That should be one the 7 deadly sins of owning a pizza business. Common now, are you a business or a hobby? But the good news for you… is that you can tell me to go pound sand on the old Orchard beach and I’ll still come back because your pizza is that good. Otto… fogettaboutit.. Alex… nope. Ya’ll yes please. Get it together… raise your prices… raise your service. Let’s go. Just charge more (you are worth it). You get less traffic and make 20% more. Keep Raising prices until you have the traffic you like and the profit you want… your pizza hits the mark. Quit with the mediocre service. Have some company unwavering values and good character.“

“Quality is absolutely top notch, really fantastic flavors. What makes Sweetcream really special is the service, I'm left with the impression that everyone who works there really likes their job and it shows in the super friendly way they treat their guests. My favorite spot in the Saco/Biddeford area hands down“

“Went in today for the first time and food was amazing! Ordered a latte and the girl that took my order wasn’t the friendliest. I last minute decided I wanted a latte, and asked for it to be made with oatmilk she seemed annoyed and said it comes with oatmilk with an attitude. There is no info stating that the latte comes with oatmilk so not sure how I was supposed to know that. The guy who made my drink was extremely friendly and when my food order was ready the cooks were also super friendly! Great food and latte, will be back for sure!“

“The food was excellent! The young man who made our tableside guacamole and our waiter were two of the best serves I have ever encountered! This place is TopShelf!“

“the food, the ambiance, the wait staff.“

“Holy! Seriously some of the best BBQ food I’ve had. Stumbled upon this gem via social media.. the prices are very fair, everything was cooked perfectly, the staff was attentive— we will be back!“

“Very good! Will be back again for sure!“

“Fine quality food, especially the lobster roll. Very good service and scenic location“

“Fantastic food, great service. We'll definitely be back!“

“We had an amazing experience yet again at Alisson’s and thank you to Paula who checked in and on us often. Never was there a beat missed in her wait w us and the food - amazing as always. Alisson’s is our must go to everytime we are in Kennebunkport. We will be back this August. Thanks also to the hostess team who made sure we were sat well before our wait time. What a great day!“

“Nonesuch has been one of our favorite sports since it opened. This evening we had a party of 12 for my son’s 8th birthday (his choice of location). Even though they don’t take reservations, we called ahead on Thursday to let them know we would have a big group coming. We waited just a couple of minutes for the table, our food and drinks were amazing and the service was fantastic. We have some particular eaters in our party and all were very happy. This experience made me love Nonesuch that much more as I can fully appreciate that serving a big group this well is not easy! Thank you to our server and the team tonight!“

“So, so, SO good! We’re from out of town but ALWAYS make a point to stop by Jaffa when we’re in South Portland. Seriously cannot recommend this place enough. #drool“

“So good! Lived in the area all my life but have never tried it but always wanted to. My dad and I stopped in tonight for dinner, awesome service and great food. Also came home with a to go order for my mom and she loved it as well. Will definitely go back and would recommend.“

“Best lattè I’ve had in a while. Can’t wait to try something else when I am back up!“

“If you like sushi but are on the go, you owe it to yourself to try Poké from Big Fin Poké. It fills the craving and is a healthy fast food option to boot! :) Customer service is always friendly and prompt, and the food is always fresh.“

“What a great find! Booked a table after reading the reviews. The meal was perfect, the new to us cocktail was potent and delicious, the servers were amazing, the owner was gracious. Thank you Barb, Dot and Dawn. We will be returning next year at the same time to celebrate my 70th!! Seems it will only allow 1 picture.“

“We have had takeout from here 3 weeks in a row...we are hooked! Amazingly delicious food! I wish I can rate this a million stars 🤩😍“

“Wonderful evening. Everything was fantastic! Thank you Musette!“

“Always love Pedro’s! They even have a vegan sour cream making it the best place to get tacos! Great atmosphere, staff, and margaritas!“

“My wife and I recently got married in Scarborough Maine, and neither of us much like cake.... however, we both LOVE Ben and Jerry's, so what better way to celebrate than by having Ice Cream Cakes! We touched base with Tom a few months ago and worked on getting our cakes planned out for the wedding. We ended up getting 4 large sheet cakes (each a different flavor combo) and a medium Heart Cake as our 'cutting' cake. Though not as flamboyantly decorated as some wedding cakes (a look we weren't looking for anyway) the Green and Blue icing flowers looked great, and the extra flourishes, and decorative chocolate pieces on the heart cake looked spectacular. And most importantly they tasted AMAZING! Both the DJ and Photographer said they have never seen people literally run up to get pieces of wedding cake before. I can't recommend Tom and his shop highly enough for anyone looking for Ice Cream Cakes for their next celebration! They were also very reasonably priced.“

“absolutely the worst customer service. told it would be ready for 945 at 1000 was told it was given to another customer. while wait there other individual went up 10-15 mins after then proposed time and were told it would be another 10 mins definitely not going back“

“Vegetarian options: There are a few pizzas for vegetarians but vegans will have to eat salad again. Didn’t check put non-pizza options cause we were pizza-oriented. Food was good, but we thought it was pricey. Two 10” pizzas and a large salad to split cost $45. We did take out, so left a smaller tip than for table service. If you ate that meal in, you’d drop another 10 bucks for a tip. Not much for that kind of money.“

“We’ve been here a few times, and it’s consistently good. No fuss, great food with a large menu and delicious cocktails. Sit on the rooftop for a lovely of downtown, or by a fire pit to get cozy. Service can be so so, long wait for drinks or semi attentive wait staff, but we would still return. Great spot to grab a drink and relax before or after a more formal dinner!!“

“Panera is a place where I worked when in secondary schools. It's been a place of quality standards. The foods are a treat, and similarly to years ago, if my diet includes animal products, then the frontera chicken sandwich is my go-to out of habit.

Appreciate the thought for the newer $7.99 meal deals. They are excellent for a small bite, any of you other lithe, agile & nimble travelers out there.

Salads and treats are delicious on special occasions.

Beverages are always fresh and ready. The teams make it flow beautifully.

This location is a delight, with a fire in the fire place for cozy vibes.

Thank you to Panera for quality, consistency, and comfort.

The hours of operation are super for early birds.“

“We were pleasantly surprised at how great the pizza was here. Had just got in from driving up to portland and didn’t really want to go out somewhere for dinner, so we stopped here. The pizza was fantastic. We got two smalls, the squash ricotta and cranberry, and a mashed potato bacon and scallion.

On paper, these do not sound like they would work on a pizza, but wow. Crust was still crunchy, and the flavors really worked together.

I didn’t realize they were a chain, and was thoroughly impressed.“

“The food here is very good 😋😋😋😋“

“Was ok. The potato bun was yummy! Presentation really cute! But the veggie burger had no flavor..had with the elevation sauce, grilled onions, lettuce and tomato for extra flavor, I guess I had too much hope. But indeed hit the spot!! ☺️“

“My daughter and I have always loved PB and always love trying something new. Great food & prices.“

“Love their variety of drink & food choices! I have dined here multiple times and have always had a great meal! Also love the atmosphere! You quickly forget that you are eating in a hotel restaurant!“

“Love this place. Good food, nice people. They remember their customers!“

“I think our server was new, but he was so kind and patient with my kids. Food was a little slow coming out, especially considering it was only 2 in the afternoon with hardly anyone there, but it wasn’t a huge issue. It was quiet, food was good, there was no wait.“

“Amazing service great broccoli“

“We had a great experience here. The parking can be a little tricky as it is limited. Its metered or you can valet. The metered parking requied a 2hr minimum if i remeber correctly at $9/hr. We went between the lunch and dinner hours on a Sunday so we got lucky and found a metered spot. I didnt know this at the time but this is the original home of Shipyard Brewery, so we got to sample a bunch of local beers. The wife and sister inlaw did flights, and my brother and I did pints. For the food the adults tried the clam chowder, the reuben sandwich and the crab and havatri sandwich. Our 9 year old son sampled the chicken tenders from the kids menu and his brave twin sister tried her first lobster roll (Maine staple right?). We were very pleased with all our selections. My daughter even ate all the lobster, but only took a few bits of the roll, but it was a hit. We sat outside on the deck and enjoyed the harbor activity. Would certainly recommend this place and would go back again.“

“Great local pizza spot! I highly recommend getting their pizza with bacon and meatball. Their meatball sandwich is also very good. There are many "create your own" pizza options as well with different doughs, sauce and toppings. There are TVs to watch sports in the bar area as well. On weekends and evenings it can get crowded with wait times, but overall, it is a good place to eat at or take out.

Parking: Lots of parking at this location

Kid-friendliness: I've seen several families here with children“

“OMG the waitress was incredible! We had a beer flight and she was out of one beer so she gave us a pumpkin spice with sugar and cinnamon on the rim, it was delicious. I had the Maine sampler (lobster roll, clam chowder, fries and blueberry cobbler)and hubby had the fish and chips. Both were delicious and we enjoyed the view of the boats docked while we ate. The waitress never forgot us, she checked to see if we needed anything and told us about local must sees. Well worth the trip.“

“went for a latte on a Tuesday afternoon“

“Delicious specials and the chicken tortillas soup is outstanding.“

“Great restaurant by the beach. Awesome food with a great variety in their menu. Recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area. I recommend getting the fried whole belly clams. They were wonderful. Loved the bucket special as well!“

“Cowbell Scarborough surpasses expectations every time I visit. The servers are friendly, attentive and polite. The food is 95% of the time correct, and if it’s not correct it is quickly resolved. Accountability is always appreciated and in this restaurant it’s certainly valued by the front of house. If you had a poor experience before, I’d recommend trying again!“

“Delicious whole belly fried clams!!“

“My boyfriend got the fried rice with beef, and I got the one with chicken - both were amazing! The cheesecake is out of this world - the best I’ve tried in Portland! The staff was also very nice and attentive. Genuinely liked this place and will definitely be coming back!“
