“I got the chicken and waffles and a side of pork belly which were both amazing. The combination of things they use to make each unique flavor was truly a treat! Good vibes were in the air when I walked in to pick up my food. Thank you a ton I wish Bangor wasn’t so far from Portland or this would be a regular place I would be dining at! ?”

“Chimera is hands down the best place in town for a perfect coffee or snack. I always feel incredibly welcomed when I pop in for a delicious signature latte’. Their coffee is so smooth and pairs perfectly with any of their amazing food items. It’s warm and inviting and the service is always prompt and pleasant. 1000% recommend this place!”

“We had a rehearsal dinner catered by Moe’s a little over a week ago on Saturday night of Memorial Day Weekend. The event was in Bar Harbor. The food was excellent and plentiful. We had ribs, mac and cheese, cornbread, chicken, cold slaw , dessert and more. The two servers were the BEST. Mackie and Cody were great! Extremely personable and friendly to everyone. I would order from Moe’s again wthout a doubt.”

“Stopped in for a last minute lunch and was not disappointed. I got a garden salad and a bambino sized pineapple pizza. I definitely regret not getting a larger pizza but I’ll be back when I’m back in the area. I ate the pizza so fast I forgot to take a picture but snapped one of my salad. My son got a BBQ chicken pizza and said it was the best pizza he’s ever had and he’s hard to please. :)”

“Everything was perfect, love this place!”

“Delivered stone cold, took over 90 minutes to deliver. it's a 12 minute drive from my house to the resteraunt. I'd drive it myself if my vehicle worked properly. Not even lukewarm. Glad I didn't waste MORE money on cold food.”

“The food is amazing. I walked in and placed an order. Ready in less than 15 minutes! The combos come with ALOTTT of food. Will be coming back!!”

“Almost a decade of working with these super heroes! Where has the time gone?”

“Geaghans is a phenomenal Irish pub with delicious craft beer that they brew right on site. The food is always delicious with new specials on a regular basis. Highly recommended if you live in the area or are just passing thru.”

“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!!”

“My sister and I had an excellent steak dinner on Sunday August 14th - the steaks were perfect! But the most amazing thing was the personalized service from Brian, the manager - let me explain - After dinner we started the arduous"trek" down Rt. 9 back home to Eastport. It wasn't until Monday morning that I realized I had left my wallet there. To make a long story short, Brian went beyond "the call of duty" and sent my wallet back via Fed. Ex. on his day off ! Thank you Brian for helping an old lady assuage her worries - you' re a doll!”

“food was delicious. never had a bad meal there. the waitress we had today was probably one of the best ones I've had anywhere in the bangor area so kudos to her and her hard work.”

“I went to get my dad some as I hadnt worked since they opened 🙄 turns out he already badgered mom into taking him. I was still pleased as he 80 ish more home bound & I was able to get his Hot Fudge on the side. So he wasn't fighting melting while he tried to eat.”

“Today ended up be our home away from home as we rode the storm out! We made friends today! Great group of musicians, fantastic atmosphere, and homemade food to die for. The brew and wine selection was absolutely amazing as well. We'll be back to visit!”

“I absolutely love harvest moon. Everything is always so fresh and tasty at every location I go to. Always have a great experience when I have been. Only thing I would change is add an Ellsworth location so I can go more often ☺️”

“Worst BLT EVER...ordered extra bacon and on a large sub I got FOUR pieces of Bacon for 13 BUCKS...WAY TO MUCH LETTUCE and Three paper thin slices of Tomato,I will say the roll was good and as a matter of Fact it was all I tasted.I ended up throwing away two thirds of a 13 Dollar sandwich.”

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

“Lemon curry chicken salad is so delicious!!”

“1000/10 we will definitely order again for our next event 💙”

“Delicious food and friendly service!”

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

“Great food and great service always. I love the turkey bacon ranch, the bread is always fresh and they are very generous with all toppings! I also love that when I ask for an extra side of ranch, the employees take extra care in communicating to those making the food that it’s on the sandwich, and on the side. Which I just love! Definitely give them a try if you haven’t already.”

“Recently played in a 10-ball tournament here, and although it was a longer-than-expected day for everyone, their staff was amazing from start to finish!!”

“We have been going to Coffee Express for years and when they got went up for sale we were worried we would lose our favorite place. However, when the building sold the new owners hands down have kept us loyal customers along with a safe place for our fur babies. They love your staff as much as we do. Jake has been one of one our favorites and the girl that made the pumpkin cold foam drink for the fall season is awesome. We love you guys. P.S. Ivee loves Eric! 🫣”

“Best sandwiches ever!! highly recommend”

“Anytime I am in Bangor,I always have to get some ice coffee and donuts. It's a great place with a big variety of snacks and meals. The price and service is great as well. I would highly recommend it”

“The woodwork is very nice. It has the feel of a local. It was clean. It was missing a dart board. The art was black and white...lacked colour. Our server was very accommodating and the bar tender was extremely friendly. The menu was kind of Irish. It does have the adopted bar dish of Bangers and Mash which the Claddagh uses the term " bratwurst" to describe the sausage. Lots of Guinness based dishes too...A bratwurst is a German sausage typically made with pork, often seasoned with spices like nutmeg, marjoram, and caraway, while an Irish sausage, also called a "banger," is a milder sausage with a higher proportion of meat and less pronounced spices, often including ingredients like breadcrumbs or rusk to create a softer texture. Fish and Chips and other bar staples were there....but it does not feel Irish.

I guess it meets the definition. An authentic Irish pub will be a very laid back and chill. This meets the bill. A good place for a drink if you get over it's a hotel bar with limited hours and serves tater tots/pizza.

So the order:
A salad was brought out. It was a garden salad. It only loses points based on the courtons having this dry crumbly look....it was a salad. Nothing lost nor nothing gained.

The soup of the day...was chowder.The name "chowder" comes from the French word chaudiere, which refers to a large, three-legged iron cooking pot. I mean chowder is traditional Irish. Again uninspired...No beef barley, curry soup (mulligantawny), potato leek....something!!!

Now, The special entree was great! I had the chicken pot pie. The pastry top was flaky and good. My party got there at 5:18. Despite us and only 1 other party being in the dining room...We were told that we ordered the last two! This was really great and I am sorry other patrons missed out. It was piping hot with potato, Mashed Potatoes smeared to adhere the pastry, carrots, peas, chicken (very little). Plating was messy. I give it a A- but because of the pastry. The filling was a B. Again, the staff made the atmosphere by being very kind.”

“Hey, it's Sams Club, not one of Gordon Ramseys' greasy spoons. For a quick snack in the middle of your trip there, they do a good job with what they have to offer. You won't find better prices.”

“It was pretty fast getting our food and we got drinks and they were good. The staff helped us use a gift card but did not work but still a great place to sit down and eat some ”

“Amazing service at dinner and breakfast is awesome Zoe was my server this morning she was amazing fast and welcoming she deserves some recognition Hollywood slots and casino.”

“I especially like to customer service I get at all of the Dunkin locations. I do frequent the State Street in Brewer location EVERY day. A shout out to the tall young man with tie glasses that Isee most of the time. A friendly smile gpes along ways. Lew Ireland”

“SUPER UNDERSTAFFED!!
The one single employee is doing great, friendly, fast service - but it’s a summer weekend with a major regional attraction immediately next door and there’s 15 people in line.

Give him a raise, and increase your starting pay if you can’t staff adequately.”

“the pumpkin roll was delicious! I like that they make their own pumpkin spice syrup. love the vibe!”

“Really great drink and food options. The staff is really friendly and everything was on point. Vegan options for food and drinks. Definitely stop by and check them out.”

“I absolutely love harvest moon. Everything is always so fresh and tasty at every location I go to. Always have a great experience when I have been. Only thing I would change is add an Ellsworth location so I can go more often ☺️”

“The Gringo burrito was excellent, as were the rice and refried beans. Hubby got the chimichangas and was equally impressed. Great size portions for the money. Highly recommend.”

“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!!!!”

“Super friendly, fast and efficient. Great post workout food. Love the location!”

“Best pizza in Bangor and the staff is always fast, helpful and friendly!”

“Best beer in town.
I really enjoyed this cozy little nook. Great beer.
And Carrisa the beertender was a complete joy, very kind polite and generally just a very nice person. This business is fortunate to have such an employee. I'll be returning here for all my beers any time I come to Bangor.”

“Best pizza in Bangor and the staff is always fast, helpful and friendly!”

“The Best restaurant Mac & Cheese around the Bangor Brewer Area with Sweet Thai Chili Tenders The Best Around!”

“Fantastic service, great price, real food and ohh soo yummy. A real gem of a place! Will be a regular on all my trips to Bangor!”

“I love sweet frogs. I was a little bummed their vanilla ice cream wasn't working... But literally every other experience before this has been wonderful. There isn't one bad thing I could say about this place.”

“This place is really a hidden gem, I have been in the food industry 18 years and I am kinda fussy when it comes to food. Well I am here to tell you the fried fish here has to be the best around. Not to mention the pizza is fantastic and a favorite of mine the poutine. Another popular item by the locals is “Lisa’s famous fried clams” those are also vary tasty. The staff is always friendly and the bar is always stocked. I definitely highly recommend.”

“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 Key Room was a fantastic experience. The cocktails were amazing, expertly made by Tan, the ambiance was intimate and friendly, and conversation was warm and went long into the night. Definitely a massive recommend if you happen to be traveling thru Bangor - especially on a Sunday night - where things seem to be otherwise asleep. A delicious touch of the big city in upper Maine. Tan makes you feel like a long lost friend. And the food from the other side of the bar looks amazing!”

“This place is the best. My fiancé and I had driven by it many times and just never realized they served more than coffee. We looked up best breakfast in Bangor and this place popped up. It was definitely correct! The nice woman (who I believe is the owner) takes your order and also cooks your food. Great personal service. We go there at least once a week now. Worth a stop for sure.”

“Absolutely delicious!! It was our first time eating here and the flavors were incredible. Hands down one of our favorite restaurants in Bangor! Thank you so much. 💕”

“Went to pick up food after they said it would be about 45 min no big deal got there and they said it was gonna be another hour after the 45 mins allready passed waiting in my vehicle for 45 min and went in and asked how close and the lady said yours is about to go in and I said it has been 2 and half hours I just wanted to know cause I had groceries in the car and I live 45 mins away. So she proceeded to tell me in her exact words “it’s not our fault the damn owner won’t shut us down in the middle of a snowstorm as well as it is just me as I am the store manager and one other person” well the other person heard her yelling at me and came out and said what’s going on ? And I said I wondering where our food is it’s been over two hours. He said look dude it is just us two and if you don’t like it leave and I was like I have waited foe over two hours and my food is made right there about to go in the over I’m not leaving !!! He now that I know is just the delivery driver told the manager to cancel my “******** order and kick him out and call the cops. And I said call the cops for what this is insane. And that’s what the manager did cancel my order and told me to leave. All because I was frustrated that it had been almost 2 and half hours and just wanted to know what was going on, but because they were short staffed they blamed it on me for asking. I called corporate as well as the franchise owner and no call back after 8 calls I will never in my life eat at another dominos after that.”

“We had a rehearsal dinner catered by Moe’s a little over a week ago on Saturday night of Memorial Day Weekend. The event was in Bar Harbor. The food was excellent and plentiful. We had ribs, mac and cheese, cornbread, chicken, cold slaw , dessert and more. The two servers were the BEST. Mackie and Cody were great! Extremely personable and friendly to everyone.

“The Main Tavern is an iconic pub in downtown Bangor. I particularly like the chicken wings with a glass of white wine. The service is fast and the ambiance is terrific. There is plenty of parking in back of the pub so you do not have to search for a parking space. There is a parking lot entrance on Main Street right beside the lit Hopeful Sign. This pub is the oldest family run business in Bangor. The Main Tavern maybe the oldest continuously run pub in the State of Maine. The patrons and owners are some of the nicest people I have ever met. This is a "must do" stop on your way to Bar Harbor and to the coast. I am not much of a drinker but I like the people and the atmosphere. I definitely will be back soon. Thanks Debbie and Peter for always making us feel welcome. We appreciate you. Support downtown Bangor and family run businesses!”

“Dietary restrictions: If you tell them they will do their best to accommodate almost any reasonable requests

Parking: I believe that they have like 36 parking spots if lot is full you could park nearby in the mall parking area behind Governor's just a short walk to the building most busy during day they have specials.

Kid-friendliness: They have crayons and some coloring pages .hi chairs an booster seats

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a wheelchair ramp and wheelchair accessible bathrooms”
