Restaurants near West Gardiner

“We've bought food from there several times. It's always been ok when you've had a busy day or forgot to take out meat for dinner. Today we bought food and it's completely different from any other time we've ordered. SOOOOO GOOD! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Yo I came in at 1:30 with like 40 other people from a Tool concert and James absolutley killed it. He got us all our food in a super reasonable time. Dude is a machine give him a raise or something. Spiral on brothers!”

“stopped in while they were super busy with busfuls of travellers it seemed. regardless orders were taken quickly by a nice young lady with bangs and the orders were made even more quickly by a friendly young lady with a wavy pigtail and ear accessories. meals were hot and fresh,good for fast food. prices are higher but assuming its because its a travel plaza and not a 'real' restrant.”

“Delicious food, fresh, perfectly prepared. Level 1 has just a tad of heat, if you want more you probably should order level 3 or 4. Almost every dish can be served vegetarian. I'm not sure about vegan but I bet it'd be doable as the staff is super friendly. My daughter and I have been ordering the same meals for years: veggie pad thai and veggie drunken noodles. We prefer extra veggies rather than tofu. I always add extra mushrooms. Crab rangoons are fresh and flavorful as well.”

“Our first time at Bintliffs. Busy but cozy... and the food was excellent. One thing detracted from the experience... I love rock and roll but not at a loud volume over breakfast at 8 A.M. I did ask (twice) if it could be turned down and was assured both times that it would be, but it didn't happen. Conversation with my breakfast company was difficult. So I'll give an A+ on the food, but the overall experience a B-.”

“I tried Thai food for the first time on September 12th. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience at Thai For Us. Excellent service, food and atmosphere. I highly recommend Thai For Us!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Red Barn is hands-down the most family-friendly spot around! I have two little ones (ages 2 and 4), and it’s the first place I’ve truly felt welcomed as a parent. The staff are so kind, the food is delicious and comes out fast (a lifesaver with toddlers!), and the prices are super reasonable; perfect for a mama on a budget. You can tell they genuinely care about families and the community. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a meal, it’s always a positive, supportive, kid-friendly experience. We’ll definitely be back again and again! ❤️👨‍👩‍👧‍👧🍗”

“Eating a Sobo pizza right now and had to come here to say that it is one of my favorite pizzas ever. It’s my second time ordering it and it definitely won’t be my last. So delicious!!”

“Good food and very reasonable prices!!!”

“Outstanding place that never fails to treat us to a wonderful meal. Awesome people & awesome cooks here! Absolutely love being a part of this area to be able to enjoy such wonderful food!”

“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 ❤️”

“Traveling through Maine from Ohio. Saw Slates mentioned in a Maine tourist magazine. Met friends here and were totally impressed with the special menu. Our waiter, Michael, was the BEST. He shared with us the story of how the restaurant began and other interesting background information. The food was delicious. If we were going to be in the area longer we would definitely make it there again.”

“10/10 stand up place. Staff were kind and caring. Went above and beyond. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone!”

“What a sweet place! The service is wonderful, so fine to be treated with love. As you can see from the photo, the sausage gravy is humongous! and tasty too. But wait... who has these prices any more? Over in Rockland we have to pay $18 if we want sausage gravy and here it's less than half that AND you get two eggs and choice of sausage or bacon with it. Wonderful find. Can't wait to go back and try their salisbury steak or turkey dinner that everyone was ordering. Thanks Dave! (but moreso the wonderful waitresses)”

“Great service. Excellent food!”

“Just learned this was originally Park's Diner on Front St. in Waterville!! I ate breakfast there all the time back in 1959 when I was a kid with my dad.”

“My husband and I visited State Lunch recently and our experience was incredible… literally a perfect night out for us. The atmosphere is great, the bar is gorgeous! We started off with drinks, tried several margaritas, all delicious! Everything we ordered for dinner was cooked to perfection, the food options were unique and all amazing! … the waitstaff was very friendly and the owner makes himself a familiar face.. he makes it a point to stop by to say hello and make sure you’re enjoying yourselves… can’t wait to get back there! Keep up the great work!”

“Awesome place that supports everyone!!”

“We bumped into the Moose Morning Coffee truck twice in two days during our deliveries — and I’m not mad about it! 😍 The ladies working were so kind, they even offered ice for my little one’s hot apple cider. And the donuts… YUM. Melt-in-your-mouth goodness! 🍩🫶🏻”

“my favorite is the blueberry cheesecake, although trying something new is the best!”

“Placed a big to-go order including a hamburg pizza, chicken Alfredo, fish and chips, and some mozzarella sticks. EVERYTHING was great, and the fish portion was huge!! The cashier was super friendly, double-checked my order, and even opened the door for me to get out since I kinda had my hands full. We’ve ordered other things in the past, and the food and service is consistently good. We’re lucky to have this place!”

“Stopped in for lunch while passing through. Creative bagel choices (Fruity Pebbles, lemon bar, honey rosemary, to name a few). Great, patient service (so many chouces!). Super clean, great location! 😋”

“Oh man, this place is overwhelmingly good! They have something for everyone! Also, their portions are huge, and the gentlemen at the window was so helpful and friendly! I had the gimme s'mores. It was delicious 😋 Worth the stop. Highly recommend.”

“Amazingly fresh authentic northern Italian. A true talent.”

“I have eaten here so many times, I can’t count. With friends, with family, by myself. And with being a transplant to the Waterville/Augusta area, and a foodie, this is by far my favorite restaurant in Maine.”

“Gabrielle M was a wonderful server; she knew the menu, had great timing, and was charming and helpful. We love Margaritas in Augusta where the food never disappoints and is always delicious.”

“Very good ice cream stand with a lot of options to choose from. I was surprised that they did not have any Italian ice, but they did have peanut butter soft serve a cherry milk shakes. Very cool...”

“I'm not normally a fan of Hawaiian pizza, but we just ate a Hawaiian supreme and I immediately put on a baggy pair of Sweatpants and deleted the Domino app from my phone after dinner.”

“Great classic diner! An amazing menu, they have really thought of everything you could possibly want. Pretty of gluten free options if you need them. Affordable and filling…make sure to bring cash! (They have an ATM).”

“My new favorite microbrewery in Maine.”
