“Cruzin' Slice catered my wedding this past October. Although the venue was located outside of their typical radius, they graciously made an exception. I'm so glad they did! The pizza was delicious, the cooking time was quick, and they provided accommodations for dietary restrictions that some of our friends and family had. Communication leading up to the wedding was great and professional. Highly recommend for any event!”

“Great craft beer on tap and top notch food. Skip Cowbell and go to Sonder and Dram for a phenomenal burger. The bacon burger with the egg on top is 🔥!! Great chill atmosphere too.”

“The young man who brought us to our table was nice and polite. The waitress was having an off day, she took our order but that was it. Our food came and we had to switch plates after she left. I guess that's not to big of a deal. Never came back during our meal to ask how things are. Only came back to give us our check and then asked how our meal was, Our burgers were on the dry side, the French fries were wonderful. It's dated and clean inside.”

“We stopped in tonight during our last day in Maine. The food, service and atmosphere was great. if we are in the area we will definitely be back.”

The cranberry almond chicken salad sandwich was excellent, and I had to save half of it for later because it was so huge. My husband had the chicken parmigiana sandwich and he said it was the best he ever had. Kind, friendly employees. The place was nice and clean. Glad we found this restaurant. We will definitely be back soon.”

“The Lewiston Maine Farmer's Market is a great place for local and fresh foods.”

“Great food and great customer service in a very nice location. Very nice Open House today.”

“This Diner reminds me of when the farmers would go for breakfast and stop in for a wholesome meal. Everything was excellent. They use fresh ingredients. That’s a big deal for me. There was fresh Spinach in my omelette and that was a very nice surprise. Nothing was greasy. The Mailhots were quite tasty, and the home fries were also impressive. If you’re in the neighborhood I highly recommend you stop into Fran’s and enjoy! 👍🏼👍🏼”

“Please open On Sunday....been coming here since '72...Tex-Mex....always go there with my son...enchiladas and tacos....”

“Order from South Sea for the first time yesterday and we are impressed with the quality and quantity of food - excellent rice, lo mein, and boneless ribs. Will order again. Top marks!”

“Ok, first of all, I have never been unhappy when dining here. Much depends on when customers come to eat; when the food is fresh for lunch or dinner, those are the best times. The family who own the Buffet are very conscientious about presentation, cleanliness, service, etc. The family/employees become really bothered when customers take so much food from the buffet, then waste it, which can cause price hikes. I personally know the owners and they are fantastic folks who are established in Lewiston, work hard to please and have bills and taxes to pay like everybody else. There have been instances where customers have not offered constructive criticism, but who have been down right mean and judgmental toward the family of employees. Prices also tend to increase when customers are slobs, who trash their booths/tables. So, folks, as we honor those who work so hard to continue to feed us, let's consider how we come across when we are not satisfied. Let's refrain from stereotyping folks who don't look like us, who are working to provide for their families by inviting us to participate as paying customers. Not everyone will always be pleased-- and there are legitimate times where someone won't be satisfied for what every reason. Let's be kind. If the Mandarin Buffet is not good for what ever reason, politely tell someone, that's all. We don't need to make spectacles of ourselves in the restaurant just to prove how right or unsatisfied we are. Thank you!”

“We tryed almost every place from Auburn to brunswick since we moved 2years ago we have finally found the place food was great tons of flavor and the portions were huge. And was still hot after a 20min ride home. the 2 older people who run the place were super nice and welcoming. Will definitely be going back next time we want chinese”

“Our favorite place around! The kids love their pizza, pasta, chicken, and fries! Their salads are always fresh and their dressing is delicious! So glad they are open again!!!”

“I am a regular at this particular ajs, the staff all know my order and do their best to get it in ahead of time if they see me in line. They are usually always friendly and often give my children stickers which is always a bonus. Despite lots of turnover over the years I've grown accustomed to this standard for my aroma joes. Don't forget to tip your batista they work hard back there.”

“Best bartenders around with lots of fun events!”

“We went to Legends today, and everything was fantastic! I had a Cosmo, and it was absolutely delicious — not too fruity with juice, just perfectly made. We also had wings, which were incredible, and the pizza was wonderful — the crust was definitely homemade. I would highly recommend this place! Melinda and Dan are amazing; they truly care about your experience and make you feel welcome.”
