50 Best American Restaurants near Windham

“Upon entering the restaurant we found the decor to be warm and inviting. We had a 5:30pm reservation, were sat immediately, and provided a glass milk bottle filled with cold fresh water. We ordered our drinks; two Apple Press’ and Substance on draft. The Apple Press was a well designed cocktail! During our visit we also ordered a mojito and an espresso martini, which were equally wonderful! For dinner we ordered a Rosemary Chicken Pie, Brick Chicken and the House BBQ. The food was levels above anything we’ve had at other restaurants in the area. Everything is homemade and seasoned to perfection with large portions that will more than satisfy your appetite. We ordered a slice of Espresso Cream Cheesecake to go. Throughout our visit, our server Michaela, was attentive and it was clear she cared about making our experience a great one! We will be enjoying many more meals at Yolked Farm to Table. Hint: Make sure you make a reservation if you want to ensure a table. The restaurant filled up quickly while we were there and stayed full.“

“Walked in and was greeted with a smile and got seated. She made small talk which usually doesn't happen when being seated. Our waitress was great smiling the whole time, joking around with my son and was very attentive. Our food came out pretty quick and was delicious. I left a review there but couldn't remember the waitresses name as she had us both laughing and talking. Everyone working seemed to all be in great moods. Smiling and saying hi as they walked by our table. Best Applebee's I have been to.“

“Great atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff.“

“We had a lovely dinner a few nights ago at Wayside with our delightful server (sorry, I didn't learn her name). However, our (and our neighboring table) were disturbed by a very loud party of 5 '(birthday group) with no consideration of fellow diners. I understand that Wayside has no control over the behavior of the rude, but it's disappointing to have an enjoyable evening spoiled by the behavior of fellow diners.“

“Great brunch alternative, especially if you tried to go to Becky’s and it was too wild there. Great menu and the coffee is exceptional. What really really set this place apart is that the Jam they make here might be the best jam I’ve ever had. It’s truly next level, tried to buy it, but they make it fresh here lol“

“This place is unreal… best roast beef sandwich I’ve ever had…. Onion rings are great aswell“

“Last month our flight to Portland was delayed a considerable amount of time due to weather issues and it looked as though we would not be able to make our 5p.m. reservation. My daughter called from the tarmac in Boston where we were rerouted and refueled and explained the situation. The hostess, Susie, was very understanding and compassionate And said that even though our table was booked for another party a 7, we should come in and she would see what she could do. We got there late but Susie greeted us warmly and told us not to worry about being rushed that she had arranged things so no one would be inconvenienced. The atmosphere was warm and cozy; the food so very delicious and our waitperson, Anika, was the best. Atmosphere, impeccable service, food and warmth all rate 5 stars and another visit next time we are in Portland.“

“Every dish was fantastic!“

“Every time I go to a new city I try to find a nice place to have a cigar and relax. This place is JUST the spot for that. You can have coffee or liquors depending on what you want with your cigar, and the people are lovely. Wonderful atmosphere and the perfect way to kick off a vacation.“

“So happy for one of their first pop ups from their brick and mortar at Bunker for our convenience for parking being SoPo residents. Exceptionally tender and juicy beef and Jus for dipping and would be shocked if there was a better Italian Beef in Maine than their’s . Took me back to my first time at Portillo‘s.“

Blueberry Fleur Mimosa ... 12/10! Try this spot if you're in the area, we will travel back 3 hours just for brunch !“

“i stopped in on my lunch break. the food was delicious. the service was amazing! i will be back“

“We did take out the steak&cheese sandwich was excellent and I loved the fries“

“Food was very good. Got a buffalo chicken salad and it was a whopping 8 dollars to add two medium size pieces of chicken to the already 14 Cesar salad.. but over priced to me. The fish and chips were cooked good, but again, it was mostly just fries and felt like I paid too much for the meal.“

“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!! ☺️“

“Tiny bakery on Clark St near Danforth. Divine croissants! Choc croissant best in world! My fav breads are Rustic, Buckwheat, 60% Wheat.
Love love love candied orange brioche rolls sliced with cheese spread, cream cheese, butter, marmalade or apricot jam! Always find a parking spot but might have to walk a couple blocks! Well worth it!!“

“Caroline was so helpful to me in arranging my wife's surprise birthday party. It was perfect and my wife and friends had such a great time! The food rocks and service is awesome! Thank you so much!“

“Thank you Mandy for always being such an amazing person. We love Marcys Marcy's Diner. The food is amazing but the people make it even better.“

“Great decor, food and service. Top spot for dinner.“

“Had brunch at this restaurant and it was fantastic!! The atmosphere in the hotel is cute. It used to be the newspaper building, so they carried this theme through. They have vintage typewriters on the wall in the lobby, so cute. Our server, Anna, was so sweet and kind! Food was sooooooo good. I would highly recommend this place. This is off the beaten path in Portland, it’s not in the port area, but the walk is so pretty to get to it. You can go up to exchange street, with so many cute shops. Definitely worth the short walk, especially if you’re there on a Sunday and all the other brunch places by the port have 45 minute waits.“

“Awesome breakfast sandwiches! By far the best breakfast I had in New England. A true Portland hidden gem.“

“I had the Peaches the Pig sandwich. Best. Sandwich. Ever. It was the type of sandwich that makes you want to dance a little after every bite. Slightly sweet, a little spicy, a whole lot of amazing. But…Good luck picking just one thing. Everything on the menu looked amazing.“

“Stopped in after a show at the State Theater...what an awesome place! Great everything! Don't miss out on this hidden gem. Justin the bartender rocked it!“

“Great cocktails, food, and atmosphere! We will be back!“

“First time ordering was about a week ago and boy was I starving! I was so pleasantly surprise at how good the food tastes! I got a Good Ol' Burger and I'll tell you what... it was delightful. So good that I ordered another one today with crispy fries. The portions were spot on, price was good and the staff was friendly when I picked it up. I love trying new places and this is one I will continue to go to. Great Job Guys!“

“Nice place, good beer choices and the smash burger was great. Little bit of rain didn’t stop the server from coming outside to serve us with our dog. Thanks again for enduring the rain!“

“took my kids (18,17,7) out for my sons 17th birthday. friendly waiter. great tasting food! made the wrong sub at first and comped it automatically and let me keep the wrong one. would definitely recommend!“

“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!“

“Had a fabulous time with my friend. Food was hot and delicious and received in a timely manner. Waitress was informative and friendly, quick, funny, and kept the drinks full while balancing many tables as the place was booming for lunch. Kudos to the kitchen too for making our food the way it was ordered and they also kept up with the pace. Means there was great teamwork amongst the staff and I will definitely be going back. Thank you to all.“

“Excellent service by bartender in Gorham on Sunday evening. My friend was rude, unreasonable and embarrassing. The bartender provided excellent service throughout very stressful interaction with my friend who was way out of line and extra, all over mint and a Mojito. You deserve an award for your professionalism and kindness.“

“Обслуживание, качество - все на высшем уровне. 👍“

“Mediterranean salad with salmon was delicious and vegetables were very fresh,

Bufffalo tenders were a bit mushy but still tasted good.

Server seemed off put when I asked her to wipe down the dirty table upon sitting down.“
