“I will travel for good food, and my experiences at FLUX Restaurant and Bar easily justify the 3 hour round trip. I’ve done it several times. This team is passionate, consistent, skilled, and has a high focus on detail & customer experience. Elevated food in a comfortable, casual, and unassuming space with great energy. Grab the kitchen bar seats to watch the execution and the food produced. I def recommend. Be sure to book a reservation as they have a following…Lisbon Falls, Maine“
“Guthries is hands down the cutest little nook in Lewiston! The vibe is speakeasy meets craft lunch and I am HERE FOR IT. They have a soft spot for vegetarian/vegan options without sacrificing the flavor, ask for their homemade hot sauce, you won't regret it. Everything is very fresh & made to order, and the baked goods are out of this world delicious but usually fly out the door long before lunch time, fair but sad for the late riser like me, lol Everyone that works at Guthries is kind and funny and friendly, 100/10 recommend.“
“Seeing how you all handled that homeless man was a beautiful act of kindness. Most resteraunts would have thrown him out. The fact that you were able to sit him down in a warm environment and feed him help restore my faith in humanity. Thank “
“I've always said that The Heritage is one of GR's best hidden gems. This restaurant is run by students at the Secchia Institute for Culinary Arts and offers a fine dining experience at a fraction of the cost. There are a few tips you'll need to pay attention to if you'd like to check it out. First, sign up for their email list so you get notified when their reservations open. They have extremely limited hours and dates that they're open (usually only two months throughout the year for a few days each week). The second thing to know is that your meal may take a bit longer than if you were to go out to a restaurant. Since it's a teaching environment, you may overhear instructors telling students how to properly clear tables, giving them tips, etc. and your food may take a bit longer to come out. All that said, if you can get a reservation for lunch or dinner at The Heritage, I highly recommend it. For dinner they usually offer a pre-fixe menu although it has changed over the years. I've dined at The Heritage several times now, for both lunch and dinner. If you have the time for a longer lunch, it's really fun. Nate and I went on their very first day of service during the winter 2024 session and it was great! You could definitely see some nerves, but we were enthusiastic and encouraging. We ordered a bunch of items from the menu: hand pulled mozzarella, chopped salad, shrimp bisque, pork curry, haute style beef, and two desserts. They start you with bread service, and they kept asking if we wanted more throughout the meal. The first few courses were spaced out appropriately and presented nicely. I LOVED the hand pulled mozzarella - it was flavorful and the baguette was perfectly toasted and not too crispy. I'd order that again. The salad was a huge portion and so beautifully plated, but it was a little lacking in flavor. I added some salt which helped. (In general, I have found most of the food to be a tad under seasoned for my taste, but they had salt and pepper shakers on the table). Our entrees took a bit longer to come out, but they were delicious. I preferred the haute beef, which was a perfectly cooked (medium rare) filet on some potato croquettes with delicious sauce. I did think it was interesting they didn't ask me how I wanted the steak cooked, but it was great. They also didn't offer a steak knife, but it wasn't necessary. The pork in the curry was super tender and cooked really nicely. Dessert is displayed on a cart that they bring around which is really fun. We went with the mocha latte torte and the raspberry passionfruit torte. I loved the mocha latte torte as it reminded me of tiramisu. In lieu of tips, an 18% service charge is added to each check and this money is put into scholarships that go back to the students. They also provide a comment card that you can give feedback on at the end of the meal. If you are a patient and kind foodie with a bit of time on your hands, definitely try to make it to The Heritage for a meal!“
“We stopped in to the Cupcakery after hiking for several hours in the nearby Thorncrag Bird Sanctuary, where we definitely worked up an appetite trudging up and down hills in the sloppy snow. We had coffee and something sweet on our minds, and ended up with a variety of seasonal lattes, quiche and cupcakes all around. The interior space was clean and festive, all decked out for Valentines day. The two young people working the counter and kitchen were friendly and efficient, and we were really happy with the variety of options available. We enjoyed our coffees and were happy to see options for non-dairy milk alternatives too. I took off a star only because I found everything we bought to eat way too sweet for my taste buds, but that won't keep me away. I'll just try different things next time. Definitely recommend this cute little spot for a coffee date, or a spot to relax on your own with a treat and coffee or cocoa.“
“I was born and raised in Arizona and most everything that passes from Mexican food here I’m sorry to say is not Mexican food. It’s the Maine version of what they think Mexican food is. This tastes like the Mexican food you would get in a taco shop in Arizona or Southern California.“
“I finally got the chance to revisit after a long anticipated return. Although many things have changed since 2019, the Blueberry Sunrise breakfast is still as good as I remembered ?. They have stayed strong through the times and have perseved with timeless goodness. All the best, may God bless you always ?“
“Where do I start? Customer service is top notch! If you haven't gone there, you're missing out. The Cajun crab cake? Spot on. Cajun turkey avocado? The bomb. And the all day breakfast?? I ordered a breakfast burrito at 2pm and I never want to go anywhere else. My new lunch break destination for sure. Location is right up the road from me. If you ain't eating at Heidi's Brooklyn Deli, you are treating yourself poorly!! 110% make it a point to go and you will not be disappointed. They are ready to serve you the moment you walk in.“
“My only complaint is this bakery isn't in my home town!I've been eating gluten free for over 15 years and Wildflours is one of the best, if not the best, bakery I've ever found.Stopped by on a visit to Brunswick, to pick up a few baked goodies and ended up with a loaf of gluten free bread and various baked goodies. All crazy good.Just wish Wildflours was in my town here in Connecticut so I could get their great goods weekly.“
“Stopped in today for early lunch. This was the perfect spot. I’m gluten free so they were able to make me a sandwich with GF bread. I got a hot tea based off the cashiers recommendation & both were delicious. If I’m in Lewiston again I won’t hesitate to pop in again.“
“The food is flavorful, the portions are hearty, the prices are fair, the dishes are unique, and the staff is very professional. This has long been my favorite restaurant in Brunswick. The walls have sound absorbing paneling to dim background noise, and the service is super speedy and consistent even with a moderate crowd.I love the people at little Saigon. They’re quiet, polite, and very friendly when you get to know them.“
“Service was great. Walked in the door, sat us immediately. Drinks were quick. Appetizer: we had onion rings, they were good. Main meal: wife and daughter had the Philly cheese steak sandwich with fries. Was great. My son had the fish and chips, he didn't get it with sauce, so it was kinda bland. But, with sauce I'm sure it would be good. I had the Reuben, it was amazing. For drinks the girls had Strawberry daiquiris. I started with the Blue berry beer. It was good. When our server asked if I liked the beer. I told him yes and asked if they had a sampler. He came out with nine shot glasses of different IPAs, lights, and stouts. All had good flavor. I recommend the blueberry and the hazelnut. I will definitely visit this establishment again. Thank you.“
“Stopped here on a Saturday and it was pretty busy. We had to wait for a a table for about 15 mins but they took our number and said they would call when the table was ready. They have a few tables and a bar. Our waitress was super sweet and very great! I got the breakfast sandwhich and it was good. My friends got the special for the day and the hash and they also enjoyed it. Great portion sizes for the price. Cute vibe. The only complaint I have is I like my home fries a little crispier! But overall I would come back!“
“This place has great gluten-free and veg friendly options! Their salads are not very good (try Watami salad across the street), but they make up for that with their gluten-free ramen. Got someone with you that really isn't into sushi? Did I mention they have ramen? I have never been served old sushi here, They have some really nice pearl sakes that they actually sell by the glass which is nice. Their veg selection isn't his grand as Watami, but they are really a great option...for a 5 star add Ume shiso to menu please❤️?.“
“When you are forced to eat your lunch cold due to unforeseen circumstances and the food is still very yummy, you know that food was bussin when hot and fresh. So for sure be back when I can take advantage of the wonderful seating are y'all have.Parking: For being on the main drag Auburn, it was a breeze pulling in and out.“

“The drive-thru is always fast, very prompt customer service, very friendly ❤️ even if you think there's a long line there's a reason, because they know what they're doing and one of the better aroma Joe's to stop at, they get you in and out of that line so don't worry about it being long.“
“My fiancé and I ordered for the first time tonight, got the Margherita pizza and their app of garlic and cheese breadsticks. The food tasted amazing, we will absolutely be recommending this place to our friends and family. Can’t wait to try more pizza!“
“I love this little shop! Especially the cozy couch in front of the fireplace. There are even board games to play and blankets available for those of us who are always cold! I go every chance I get. The perfect spot to read a book, visit with a friend, or get some work done all while enjoying a delicious pastry, hand crafted beverage, or satisfying sandwich. The staff is always super friendly as well. Check them out!“
