Restaurants in Waterville

“awesome little place with high quality food and a pleasant environment.”

“the food was delicious, fresh, perfectly cooked andperfectly flavored. With all the restaurants in Waterville if you're looking for a delicious meal that doesn't cost a lot and great welcoming service check this place out. it's so rare to find a place where the quality of food is even better than the price.”

“Chef is phenomenal, service the same. Recommend to anyone looking for delicious menu options, authentic ingredients and top notch service.”

“Oh my word! From the people in the store to the food. This was insane. First, the atmosphere in store was awesome! I got dinner and a show. Super friendly and down to earth. I walked out with 4 steaming, and I mean steaming pizza boxes. Tried the pepperoni pizza, which hands down the best pepperoni I've ever had. Tried the meat pizzas, so good. The Hawaiian pizza, delicious and the buffalo chicken quesadilla, dang. I don't normally like buffalo, but they've changed my mind. Please don't hesitate to try. Just do it.”

“Spotless , clean atmosphere , fresh foods! Nice prices!”

“Everything was amazing except…. They put us by the kitchen and it was really loud though didn’t see much of our server either there was 7 of us but food was good figured the server would’ve at least come over I saw the host more than anyone but for as pricey as it is servers should be more attentive”

“The dinner at Cheung Lee Express was fantastic! The portions were very generous; the atmosphere warm and inviting, and the owners are extremely attentive and make you feel at home. The subgum chow mein was packed with vegetables, and the Egg-Foo Yum was scrumptious. We look forward to coming again.”

“Best pizza in Central Maine 🍕”

“Very friendly and professional staff, very impressive!”

“Delicious Food! They Offer Dine In And Takeout. Highly Recommend”

“My husband and I were in there today for lunch and my fish tacos and his chicken fajitas were excellent and very large proportions. The place looks very nice inside and the waiters were the friendliest and so kind. We most definitely will return,. If you like Mexican, Charros is the place to go ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Every time I come here, the food never disappoints 🍽️✨ Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared, but the lobster roll is definitely a standout 🦞💛 It’s packed with flavor and always hits the spot. And don’t even get me started on the desserts — they are absolutely incredible! The peanut butter cup treat is rich and indulgent, and the strawberry rhubarb pie is perfectly balanced between sweet and tart 🥧🍓 Truly heavenly!
One of my favorite little details is the model train theme 🚂 I’ve always loved model trains, so seeing one actually running around the dining room adds such a fun and nostalgic touch. It makes the whole experience feel cozy, unique, and memorable. Great food, amazing sweets, and a charming atmosphere — I always look forward to coming back 😊💕”

“This is by far my favorite place in town to eat! If I’m the one making the decision on food, it’s Cheryl’s! I recommend the Steak Bomb.”

“I do not know why this place don't have a Michelin star it is the best cuisine that I have tasted in a long time very best it's like you're sitting over in Italy at a five-star restaurant delicious!!!”

“Great food, outstanding service”

“There are so many reasons I love Sunrise. For starters, there’s the great food, but it’s so much more than that. This is a local business that seriously and genuinely invests in its community and THAT is why it will be here for a really long time. I’m convinced it will be a “generational business” that will be in the Central Maine business landscape for YEARS. The creative menu and excellent customer service are 2/3rds of the success - the community heart is the secret ingredient ❤️”

“This hand made ice cream is so good. The affogato is the best I’ve ever had. The banana ice cream is unreal. We love it here and try and find excuses to drive to Waterville so we can stop and get ice cream.”

“The best roast beef Dagwood sandwich ever! Fresh bread and ingredients. The apple fritter was beyond amazing. Fresh pastry and apple filling. A piece of heaven that will have you running for more. It’s always worth the drive to Juliette’s.”

“Great service! Great food!”

“Every single part of our meal was phenomenal.”

“Lion’s Den trivia on Monday nights are the best!!! Annie at the bar and Johnny on the mic make for a killer date night; never miss one when we are in town.”

“Excellent food and friendly, efficient service (don't expect to be fussed over constantly). Two entrees with an order of naan and a bottle of Taj lager was $60+ tip. Atmosphere is pleasant, but not lavish - though the giant chandelier is a unique touch. Chicken Mango curry is delicious. We go often when seeing a movie or performance at Waterville Arts across the street and/or shopping for used vinyl at The Record Connection next door. If they weren't an hour away I'd go every week!”

“Really cute relaxing little cafe with great food and what tasted like a delicious homemade pickle on the side! I had a tasty raspberry tea from their cooler and the wicked garden sandwich made dairy free and gluten free. I'm not Celiac so when it comes to their panini press I'm not sure about cross-contamination, but you probably can have a wrap there if you're celiac! I will definitely be back when I'm in the Waterville area! I think the only thing I do different next time is probably ask for a little extra of the Chipotle aioli on the sandwich because the gluten-free bread can be a little dryer.”

“Easily one of the best brick oven pizza restaurants in Maine with amazing staff! <3”

“Food was good ♡ Their Gouda & Red Pepper Cheese Dip .... 10/10 Burgers and Pizza were also on point. The wait staff was amazing. Attentive and great engagement with her tables ♡ Mainelys a place we often forget about ... But ask ourselves why. We will be back soon ❤️ - PS 35oz sampler flights for $20 ...”

“great time with my son and 4 of his friends visiting from Massachusetts. thanks ladies for being so patient. ❤✌”

“They always have well stocked shelves with a variety of breads, Anna is chips, & other items at discounted prices, BUT, the products are VERY fresh. I stop there everytime i am in Waterville. Check them out. You will be pleased with the freshness & selections.”

“We had some friends visiting from MA and decided to try 18 Below for dinner. Although I didn't realize it...we were apparently celebrating our 37th wedding Anniversary ( which is next week)...and my husband surprised me with some breathtaking earrings! The staff was very good, and the food was unbelievable! Our friends loved it...and so did we. I think we found our new Favorite restaurant! Thanks for a fabulous dinner!🥰”

“Please check this buisness out. Totally worth it! Wonderfully run with motivation,passion and kindness with health as the core focus. Great people Great and healthy products.”

“My father and I stumbled upon this gem a few years ago on our annual fishing trip and is now a staple of our trip. We talk about Ming Lee as much as we talk about the fishing. This is the best Chinese restaurant in the world! The portions are very large at a very affordable price. A must try!”

“#Meanwhile 🎭 Forgiveness means giving up your right to hold on to anyone's neck. It means letting go of your desire to inflict any form of pain or revenge regardless of the pain they caused you. 👍🏼”

“They were in a large rush due to the influx of people from my marching band but the service was good. I got the veggie sandwich with cheese and the only note I have is I want more mushrooms, but I can just ask for that in the future. The milkshakes took a while and my friend wasn’t a fan of hers but, once again, total rush. The reviews everywhere was tacky.”

“Fry bread delicious girls are sweeter”

“Niko’s food and hospitality was amazing. If you’re in the Waterville area I highly recommend stopping in and enjoying their food!”

“Everything is made fresh daily. My favorite restaurant hands down, I could eat here everyday 🤤 Highly recommend the Pad Kimow. Curries are phenomenal, Dumplings && Roti are so tasty 😋. They also have a great selection of healthy snacks. Shroom chips & Seaweed Almonds are delicious!!”

“Always a delicious tea, never skimps on flavors 🥰🥰🥰”

“Traveling in from NYC for a few days. Going back for pancakes and eggs again today before I had back home. Best Pancakes I ever had. Nice and friendly atmosphere. Family owned business nice family.”

“Delicious food. Friendly, fast service. Highly recommended!!!”

“The best Mexican food!!! We have been followers of them since their smaller restaurant to their much larger restaurant. it is always packed and shows you whar a favorite they are to all. Their chips are homemade and are absolutely delicious! All servings are HUGE. fajitas and distata are family favorites. Servers are very friendly, and attentive. They deserve 5 stars every time!!!”

“awesome my wife dine's all the time down town it'$ a big stepping stone from where we're located ...the meal is way worth it....I give em 5+5 easy”

“Went to Ruby Tuesday on Wednesday and go the salad bar, which was suppose to be 6.99 on special when we got our bill the girl had charged us 12.99 each and we call her back to the table and told her she had made a mistake in the price she changed it to 6.99 but are we suppose to tell her we want the special? I thought if it was on special when you order salad bar you shouldn’t have to check your bill .”

“This is our go to place for breakfast on Saturday mornings. Food is always good and Robin and Hugh always make us feel comfortable and like friends. I little hidden gem......”

“Yummy cones, milkshakes, sundaes, Blizzards & parfaits! Ice cream cakes for special occasions!”

“I love the coffee here, can get almost any flavor any time not just seasonal or limited times. Food has always been good too. They had really good hash browns bites but for some reason they changed them. I finally tried the new one and I'm not very impressed. They were difficult to eat, kept falling apart. And no flavor, last ones had flavor. Guess I won't be getting those again. Service is always very good, prompt as they can be. Lines can be long on certain days or times but I usually don't have too much issue with that. Never have any issues with any locations.”

“One of the only burger places around that celebrates the seasons and holidays. They also have a community fundraiser. And are involved with local non profits. The manager seems professional, nice and he knows how to run a restaurant. The employees were professional. The food is good. A fun place to have a burger.”

“I was honestly impressed with this place! 😍 Usually when you order steak at many restaurants, the portions can feel a bit small and leave you wanting more — but not here! 🥩 The serving size was generous and truly satisfying. The steak itself was cooked beautifully and tasted absolutely delicious. You can tell they care about quality and about making their guests happy. The staff was also very accommodating and made the whole experience even better. 🙌
What surprised me even more was the sushi 🍣 — the portions were incredibly large compared to what you typically get elsewhere. And the lobster? 🦞 Wow! Instead of tiny shredded bits, they served real, chunky pieces, including actual claw meat. That attention to detail really stood out. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that exceeded expectations in both taste and portion size! ✨”

“They have a Gluten free menu, pizza is good and Stromboli. I have celiac and I have never gotten sick from eating there.
