Restaurants near West Gardiner

“Me and my buddy tagged a Doe here while hunting. we took a break and we got 2 steak and cheese sandwiches and we ate right there at the little tables and it was awesome.”

“Burger King was one of two burger options for the travel plaza, and having dietary restrictions, BK was easier to work around than the other.The cashier was very helpful with the kiosk - since that was the only way to order and use a credit card.”

“Wow, this is a pretty Dunkin's'! The normal selections served by bright eyed staff, in a quick efficient manner. Will come again due to opportunity, choice, or luck.”

“The chicken rivals Chick-fil-A but the popcorn shrimp were more spicy than I thought they'd be. The biscuits weren't bad but seemed a little undercooked.”

“This morning I went to Bintliff’s corner for the first time. I highly recommend you go! The pastry display case is gorgeous. The pastries don’t only just look pretty they are delicious! The environment was welcoming and the friendly staff members have excellent customer service skills. I had their fruit danish. This danish was made with love… you can tell by the taste that the pastries are made from scratch and are fresh daily. With the fresh fruit, flaky layers, and delicious filling this pastry is hands-down, the best danish I have ever had. I plan to return soon to eat some of their many food selections for brunch.”

“The pizza here is HEAVENLY!! The Diner closes at 2pm pizza is one of the best I've had. Potatoes, bacon, cheese sauce, maple syrup, and a couple eggs on top are the base ingredients and wow do they work well together!!! Also highly recommend the Cony High Pie, the mill park pie and the crab Rangoon pizza. All 10/10! Staff have always been really attentive and pleasant. Really great atmosphere here, very relaxed but fun. The prices are good for the quality and amount of food you get. I will always jump at the chance to come here.”

“This is the best Thai restaurant in Maine. The 2nd favorite of mine is Pinto Thai to Go. You don't need any other Thai food if you have these two. Thai with us uses high quality ingredients. I have never been served the 'fancy' little mushrooms anywhere else. Best crab rangoons in Maine. Tom Yum soup. Be careful when you get Drunken Noodles though. The chef makes them extra spicy so I stopped ordering them there. Everyrhing else is AMAZING. Curries and noodle dishes alike, poetry in motion.Vegetarian options: There are several, clearly labeled vegetarian dishes.”

“Great, lovely, kind, and fast service!! The food is SUPERB and the baked goods are DELICIOUS. The bread bowls are so good. The atmosphere and vibes of the place make me feel all warm and cozy. This is a great small, family-owned business to support!!! (They remember your coffee and sandwich orders, too).”

“This place is very unique for where it is. Food is refined and definitely worth the trip. Drinks are strong and precise. The Maine crab stuffed haddock is a killer dish as are the fried croutons arugula salad with tomatoes and goat cheese . In such a small town this is truly exceptional putting it lightly.”

“The food is just really good. Decor is very, very informal, but charming in its own way. The clam strips are just spectacular. Stay and eat them in the restaurant - they lose something crucial in transit. I like them with cocktail sauce, which you can get on request, but the tartar sauce is also very good. Lobster roll is great. Service is friendly - though always busy. Have been several times and will definitely go back.”

“Every time I come here it's crowded but for a good reason. Good food, friendly staff, clean place and did I mention good food. Yeah the best sandwich place I've eaten at; so whenever I am on the part of 202 near their restaurant I stop by.”

“We’ve been to Bistro Milliard a few times, and we’ll keep coming back. Even though we live in Scarborough, it’s worth the 1:15 drive as a destination, even passing by the many fine Portland restaurants. Tim and crew just do a fantastic job with fresh food prep and interesting menu choices. We had short rib over pasta and halibut. Immediate smiles came to our faces after first bites. Charcuterie board was delicious. Can’t say enough good things about this intimate little spot on Main St in Hallowell.”

“Always have something..and owner/cook remembers for last 30 years...fries Always goo..get extra ketchup...I get hamburger with fried onions and ketchup....good folks own and run the place!!!”

“Solid coffee shop. I had a dirty chai that was pretty good. I got mine for there and the drink wasn't really hot by the time I got it. If you have hot water on tap behind the bar maybe prefill the cups with hot water so the drink isn't going to lose half its heat just warming the cup when it gets poured in. I'll definitely be back though, the coffee was good and the space is cozy. Service was very friendly as well.”

“Really enjoyed this meal! 4 courses, each thoughtful and delicious, at a good price point in central Maine. So why were we the only table on a Friday night? People, please patronize this restaurant! 3 states for atmosphere because it was 1. Empty 2. Too dark in front, too bright in back 3. Decor needs some work. But all of that is secondary to the food, which was good. I think they’re taking a hit for the lack of polish but don’t let that deter you. A rare bright spot in the overpriced, bland desert that is central Maine dining. I’ll be back, and I hope we’ll have some company next time!”

“Great place for a good meal! It's very much worth the short ride from I-95, as an added bonus , there is a great river view just outside the restaurant.Parking: There is plenty of parking across the street with a crosswalk to assist in getting to the restaurant.”

“Amazing! Just had brunch there with some friends and family. I had a breakfast sandwich with eggs, cheddar and bacon on a homemade biscuit - it was THE BEST breakfast sandwich I've ever had. Barbara was our server and was superb! So glad we happened upon this place. Highly recommend!”

“Growing up, this was my parents date spot when we would visit my aunt who lived in hallowell at the time. It was a bit mythical in my mind from their tales of it when they came home and I can't believe that it lived up to the myth, 35 years later! Just that alone makes this experience wonderful. We each got specials, the crispy haddock (which was fish and chips without the fries) for me and the steak au poivre for my partner. Both of us would get it again. The best part of the meal was the peanut butter fudge swirl pie, which was the best dessert I've had at a restaurant in years. I was not expecting much but it was whipped really well and didn't feel heavy, which is a miracle with peanut butter. We were upstairs, they ask if you can do stairs when making reservations. It's definitely eclectic in the decor and it felt like there was something to admire anywhere you looked. There was a large party next to us that were a bit loud- it was so quiet once they left. It's not cheap but it's worth it and it's been around for decades but it's not stuffy at all.”

“Been eating Thai at Pinto since they opened. Best Thai in town!! Consistently excellent food, and the online ordering system is easy peasy, and there are ways to add custom instructions while ordering. Just has Pad See Ew with duck. SO good. Never disappointed!!”

“I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while but they're usually closed. Finally tried it today and they did not disappoint. My friend and I were both very impressed with the quality of the food and atmosphere. I will be back.”

“My husband and myself have been visiting this location since they opened and usually celebrate the end of the week by ordering breakfast from Sunrise. Our food is always ready by the time we arrive to the store, is still hot, and delicious. The employees are always so kind and welcoming. 10/10 would recommend Sunrise Bagel to friends and family :)”

“We've been to Doolin's twice so far. Their Valentine 3 course dinner was great. Second time was for fish and a burger. We'll definitely be going again soon. Highly recommend you check Doolin's out!!!”

“This place is IPA/ DIPA heaven, definitely within the top 5 for anything north of Brunswick. Their Experience gets your foot in the door, Rear View Mirror cranks it up at 7%, and XX Experience at 8.5% is for getting properly ripped. They're well balanced and full flavored, and I can always find one I'm happy with every time I visit.Great staff, and a relaxing and unpretentious place to unwind and socialize.”

“I ride my motorized bike into this place as if I’m a motorcyclist lol. It’s my favorite place locally and the whole family enjoys it when we drive in. Great food, awesome lobster rolls, really good ice cream (and a lot of it!) and it’s just a smash hit with all ages. Cool drive-in feel, a Jersey rock (I’m from Jersey originally, therefore I know good food also), a play area that my kids love, and awesome service from kind employees. They will bring you your food and are awesome at remedying problems like spilt ice cream.Kid-friendliness: There are foods kids love and great ice cream! And a play area that my kids love!”

“I have not been up thar far in Maine yet. Looking at the photos it's like you went back to colonial times. We have plenty of colonial buildings and styles here in Massachusetts. It's rustic Old school”

“Great atmosphere and the food truly was something you need to experience. I was so pleased with the food and service I asked to speak with the manager just to let her know how great our experience was.This place deserves 10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Try the crab cakes, muscles and steak, potatoes and green beans. It was all perfect!!”

“I’ve been told that I needed to visit Mughal Palace so many times, so I know their food is amazing. What my boyfriend and I just experienced from their customer service, though, was incredible.On our way up to the Augusta area, we called ahead to order three dinners. Barely 10 minutes later our car starting giving us problems, forcing us off the highway. I called Mughal Palace to give them a heads up that we’d be late because I thought it might be a quick fix (they had already started the order so we didn’t want to cancel). When it became obvious that we weren’t going to make it, my boyfriend called to cancel the order. We felt SO bad ordering so much food that we weren’t going to pick up, but instead of expressing his frustration, the lovely man on the phone offered to deliver us the food- a 40 minute drive!! He was so sweet and understanding; we couldn’t believe it.Thank you so much! You made a hard night a little easier!!”

“Very nice place, authentic Irish food and Irish beer and mixed drinks. Nice atmosphere, very attentive waitresses and bar tender. The owner showed us his unique toilet in the men's bathroom that he said he made himself. Very cool.”

“Very nice home style breakfast, lots of seating, and excellent service. Interesting and varied menu with local favorites like the lineman and lumberjack's breakfast.Parking: Plentiful parking, but depends on how busy the restaurant is. Parking 7:30 on Saturday is easy, but 9:00 is challenging.”

“Solid menu and consistent quality. A great variety of local beer in a relaxed atmosphere, and the guitarist did considerably justice to the classics including Tom Petty.”
