Reviews
What an absolutely amazing restaurant and venue. To see a couple shows the other night and had an amazing time, the food was absolutely delicious with a wide variety to choose from. I love the mix and match type menu. Drinks were very reasonably priced and delicious with a wide variety for all to choose from. We will definitely be back and excited for the next show!
How the city of Bangor fire department hasn’t shut this place down yet for inadequate ventilation over the grill is beyond me. Went in on a 40° day, front door was wide open, big portable fan on the floor was trying to blow the lingering bacon smoke out place. For the price they charge a sandwich you think they throw in chips too, but no. Sandwich was adequate. oh, for some reason, the lights were off in the eating areas.
I was on vacation with family and we were super hungry and hoping to get a good Philly cheesesteak. We had decided to try this restaurant and while it was a little pricey the food was excellent. I'd actually say it had to be one of the best Philly cheesesteaks I've ever had. They also play good music thats not your annoying typical pop music. Definitely recommend and will be looking forward to eating there again :)
The food is good but what I like most is it is a good place to get together to play games with friends and family. The theme is fun, too.
I should mention that they have a couple of rooms for rent that are reasonably priced compared to other places we have looked into.

I had the coffee flight and I cannot believe more coffee shops are not doing this! I get to try 4 of their specialty coffee’s instead of just one. As a coffee fanatic this is the best idea I’ve ever seen! And I loved every one in the flight. Best coffee in Bangor!
I also had a Farmer Dan’s bowl which was so filling that it will definitely hold me through my busy morning.

Absolutely fantastic place! The staff is so friendly and helpful. The food is good. And the place is very clean. My partner and I love to rent out the theatre spaces and watch movies. They have so many options to choose from and even have access to streaming services. There are regular events and things to do; and that’s not to mention the many board game options available to patrons!
My family's experience was amazing we had an amazing waitress we were in the section behind the hostess stand in the 6 chair table.
I can't remember her name but she was amazing!
Now there was one waitress I won't soon forget she brought our food to our table her name was Megan she completely rude if we get her as a waitress we would rather leave.
Amazing food amazing environment. Except for our one hiccup.

Our bartender was nice and served us quickly. Drinks were well made. Steak came out perfectly cooked and was juicy. Prices were reasonable. Busy place, 35 minute wait for a table but was able to get a seat at the bar as soon as we came in. Was happy with the experience.
Arrived for 6pm with a party of 9. Was told it would be 30 minutes. Finally was sat at 7pm. Clearly they don't accommodate larger parties comfortably. Small table with chairs pulled up to a booth. Had we known it would have been a hour to be sat, we could have requested to split the party into two booths. Service was relatively prompt. Macy was our waitress. Food was good, ordered the 12oz ribeye. Others had burgers, chicken and ribs. No complaints on the food.
My husband and I REALLY enjoyed our supper Oct 9/2023 at Texas Road House, Bangor. Due to Covid we hadn’t been in Bangor in 4 years. The rolls they started us with are the best and the steak meal was delicious. What made our time there fantastic and special was our waitress “Sammy”! She is so sweet and absolutely amazing and such a wonderful personality. She looked after us from the beginning til we left. A big thank you goes to Sammy and they are lucky to have her!!
As a former Manager at this location and current shareholder of The Wendy's Company/Wendy's International I just want to say great food and great service, crew was working together. Was decently clean in the lobby I was once told by one of my former Director Of Operations that "Half decent is better than not being decent at all". Great job to you all. And I want to announce to Aaliyah that the meat was cooked perfectly J-rod and I trained you well. Great job!!!.
Not a bad hotel restaurant. The service was great, and the food was delicious.
Prices probably inflated as it's the airport hotel.
I had the lobster roll today and it cost $36. Yikes! It was delicious but omg.

I got the blue cheese bacon burger hubby got the A1 burger. We were both satisfied. Fries were yummy too! Burgers were bigger than expected. I had to eat mine with a fork!
Absolutely spot on dishes. The weekly menu creations are always creative and awesome, too!! You will not forget this place indeed!! The Philly here is best I've had. Everything I had here has been the best!!!
Everything we’ve had here has been excellent. My favorite is the bacon and blue cheese burger (no bun for glutes free). They are very gluten knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Cute place and friendly staff. Unfortunately the avocado toast left a lot to be desired, and they forgot part of our order. My husband's burrito was much better and the lattes were decent.
Sooooo slow Oml over a ten min wait for food in drive-through
300 and rising on your drive-through counter time in my store 300 wouldn’t be acceptable. I’d be writing people up and sending them home over that my store keeps it at an 86. (This was literally after I took my order and pulled up just a little bit is how I saw 300 on your screen.)
French fries were awful. You could literally tell they were more than Dead by the time I got them and I ate them in the car they were so cold McDonald’s makes fresher. Fries definitely will not be stopping back here again. If that’s the quality of food you’re going to give me I will be spending my money at McDonald’s. At least I know what I’m expecting.
And for the love of God, I hope you offer health insurance because your manager is hobbling like she physically hurt her self
I do hope that she is Okay
Literally in the reviews here are so poor I’m surprised y’all don’t have corporate banging at your door

Had breakfast and everything was delicious, however, the most impressive was our server Julie. She handled a room full of people quickly and efficiently all by herself and with a smile.
My wife and I each had a different flavor of the Smash Burger. They were great! Good drinks and reasonable prices. The service was excellent.
The atmosphere and service was good, but the food was horrible. Just ordered chicken utopia for takeout and the portion was incredibly small, just 4-5 pieces of mcdonald chicken nugget size portions. I wouldn’t have been so upset if it didn’t taste so horribly. It was incredibly dry and overcooked, really hard to chew and tasted burnt. As if they had a decent size portions at the beginning, but just gave whatever was left after discarding all overcooked and discarded pieces. And the basmati rice and veggies were also mediocre at best. Anyway, so dissatisfied with the food.
We got the $5 and $6 meal deals. The deals come with a couple different choices of burger or chicken along with 4 piece nugget, fries and medium drink. An excellent deal and plenty of food. We had the Chicken BLT and the Jr bacon cheeseburger. My friends nuggets had five and mine had six. They were nice and piping hot. The food was excellent. The service was mediocre at best. We were in kind of a hurry and had to wait at least ten mins for our food. It was not busy at all though there were a few to go orders being picked up. Everyone seemed a bit confused and was working in slow motion. It took the cashier about 3 mins to pour a lemonade for an order a door dash driver was picking up. My friend and I kept looking at each other like what the heck? The guy making the sandwiches had pants around the tops of his thighs and looked very confused. I used to work in fast food also customer service and shift management for many years. I wanted to go behind the counter and encourage them and help them put some hustle in. The team leader was even in slow motion and looked lost. Recommend the food but the service was a no go. I won't be back to the Bangor location.
The noodles bowls were just ok. A little lacking!! But the scallion pancakes, IDK? What the hell are those things? You need an extra set of teeth to eat them.
Ive been to this Wendys a few times and it is usually not the cleanest but this last time was horrible. Looked like nobody cleaned the lobby all day. Most tables were dirty, floor was filthy, soda machines barely dispensed ice and poured warm soda. Around the drink area was littered with trash and the floor slick with spills. The AC didnt work that day either. When the food came out, on top of it taking forever the fries had no salt, the burger dry and ive never had bacon so hard in my life. My SO went to go get some BBQ sauce and they handed her a crushed one which got all over her hands and laughed it off with a sorry.
It was an average Texas Roadhouse, the food was not as good as usual. One out of the three meals were great. The others not so much. However!!! The service was amazing. Quincy was the best waiter/server I’ve ever met. Love the guy he is so spectacular! Would come back just for him and the service ever again! Thank you, Sir!
Delicious, fresh food! Highly recommend the Nacho Dorito Wrap....tastes like the most delicious taco salad ever! Waffle fries appetizer is a must-have as well. You can substitute regular fries with the wrap for garlic parm fries with aioli-highly recommend also!
The atmosphere is everything dog related and the cutest ever! Great gem of a restaurant downtown you don't want to miss!

Genuinely some of the best and most flavorful food I’ve ever had! The roasted Brussels were a party in my mouth and the moussaka was divine. This is exactly what I hope for when I go out - flavor combinations, textures and experiences that I could never achieve at home. As a vegetarian, there were so many options and easy to identify what was veg. Very thoughtful and well done! Thank you for a great evening out!
As original as you can get compared with the original on State Street. Clean like a navy ship inside, and quick & simple drive through.
Perfect replacement!

So elegant and comfortable. The interior is rich in history and very tastfully decorated. 100 thumbs up!!!
My husband and I celebrated our Anniversary with dinner at Utopia and Emmitt was our bartender/server. Excellent service. Emmitt was very attentive and food was exceptional! Looking forward to going back soon!
The food here is phenomenal! Great steak, chicken, shrimp and potatoes!!
Highly recommend!

Fantastic lobster roll and good service. Breakfast is very good, too.
Found it to be very disappointing
Thought it would be high quality but far from it
Chicken salad was a soup of mayonnaise with little cranberries and walnuts
Didn’t ask or provided option for whole wheat bread and ask for lettuce and got cheese on top
Also didn’t look very clean
I would have been better of buying food at the airport
The ladies were nice but the set up is strange as the Subs are not prepared in front of you but in a room on the side of order area

2nd coffee shop i have been to today. Coffee was served very hot, was delicious, was almost immediately ready, and the staff were super friendly. Would definetly recommend.
This is our favorite place in the area, hands down. Always coming up with interesting food combos and the portions are insanely huge (even the appetizers I consider full meals). Drinks are perfection and they have the best bloody ever. We love the chill atmosphere. Thank you, Josh and Tiffany for making such a great space.
Ps. Don’t overlook the pizza, it’s fanfeakingtastic.

Is you enjoy flavorless broth, this will be your favorite place to be. 5 of us went to dinner here and we all got something different, each meal was absolutely disappointing. There's nothing Umami about it. The dining area is run down and nothing to write home about.
Lo e this place and have loved the sandwiches for 20 yrs now!
Awesome Baconator, medium fries, and medium fountain drink.. Food was fresh and hot.. service was exceptionally quick. Wish we had a Wendy's closer to our home in Central Vermont,
We made a last-minute decision and called, and they were able to get us in, but I would definitely recommend reserving in advance. I loved that they ask you as you enter if you want to select your meat, this is an awesome addon as you can select what you like. Overall, the bread was excellent, and the butter is delicious and has a taste of cinnamon. Their fillet mignon was amazing, and even asking them to make it well done, it was tender and flavourful. Their rice is good, but I found it has a bit of a corn taste to it, and the vegetables are great. Eliza, our waitress was by far the nicest and by far the best waitress we had at any restaurant. She was talkative and laughing with us, which made it more of a fun experience, and the price was excellent compared to down home in NB, Canada. If we ever come back to Maine, this will be a must stop, and we will definitely be asking for Eliza as our server next time we come as she's awesome.
I waited over 20 minutes to get my food, with a hungry toddler on my hip. He even realized everyone else was getting their food and we weren't. And then they gave us a small frosty for free to try to make it better. We're both lactose intolerant. Shoulda gone to McDonald's. Half the drinks were gone, no napkins, no lids. Everything was sticky, the highchair looked like it had never been cleaned. The bathroom smelled like piss. Gross. The food wasnt terrible, I definitely wont go back
Extremely disappointed that I drove 30 minutes out of my way to find that they closed early. If businesses are going to close early, they should update hours on Google. I'm sure I'm not the only one who relies on hours shown on Google. Great food. But time is money. I may or may not ever return
I had a delightful dining experience during my first visit to this restaurant. The food was delicious, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The only minor aspect for me was a slightly higher onion content than I prefer in my sandwiches, but that's just a personal preference. Overall, it's an excellent spot to savor a delicious sandwich in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
This place was incredible- the food was divine (especially, but definitely not limited to, the garlic parm fries), the atmosphere was fun, and our server was delightful. Cannot recommend enough, and I'm sad I was only able to eat here once on my trip! My only complaint is the kitchen closes significantly before the bar does, so it's not a place for late night eats.
I can only speak to the dinner salad with chicken. It was about 20 dollars and was very disappointing. I ate it all and went to bed hungry. There were three small strips of chicken on a small bed of lettuce with cold sour green apples, a few pieces of tomato and some nuts. I politely asked if I could have a bit more chicken but was told that I was served a small chicken breast and would need to be charged for more chicken. Three thin strips wasn't a small chicken breast. The bartender's service wasn't friendly and the quality and portion didn't justify the price. The other menu items may be better.
A lovely restaurant with so many thoughtful details throughout! From fresh flowers on the tables to jazz classics playing from the speakers, the space felt incredibly inviting. Attentive and friendly staff. If anything they were too attentive and coming to the table a bit too often (I think I counted 4 different servers coming to our table at different times), but that seems like a funny thing to complain about since they were all friendly and polite.
The food was clearly made with love with fresh, healthy ingredients. The trout special was an absolute delight! We also loved the halloumi appetizer and the strawberry sorbet for dessert, yum. Thank you Utopia for a pleasant surprise on our way to Bar Harbor all the way from NYC. It was just the boost we needed to get to our destination.

The smell is always inviting walking by so after 2 months of going by every day to work I finally stopped in. The drink I got was absolutely wonderful, the PBC. Peanut butter chocolate and coffee, um yes please. I my breakfast burrito was expertly well made and didn't fall apart like so many others do. For being so short staffed the batista and short order were efficient and constantly smiling. A real breakfast jewel in the Heart of The Queen City.
Food
The pulled pork was a little lackluster, relatively dry. Everything else I've eaten here has been great for the price range.
Service
The service at Texas Roadhouse is always next level. They seem to really enjoy their jobs. They're prompt to bring more rolls and peanuts whenever asked and check in often.
Atmosphere
The restaurant has an included bar, many tvs with sports playing. It's loud and obnoxious at times. If that's your thing, you'll love it.

I'd moved away from the Bangor area over 18 years ago and found myself here on business and with a couple of hours to kill.
I knew the Coffee Pot was no more but was pleasantly surprised to find The Legacy is offering the same Super Deluxe with salami on the same Brick Oven bread that was my standard choice for decades.
My sandwich did not disappoint and was everything like I'd remembered it to be.
The employees were friendly and provided prompt service.
I will be making a special trip back and bringing a friend to try the Blue Ox (roast beef with your choice of horseradish or blue cheese).
Thank you, The Legacy, for staying true to the old Coffee Pot sandwiches and adding lots more to the menu.

We never do reviews but this place was outstanding and deserves a special mention. The food was excellent. The service impeccable. The atmosphere and restaurant with several floors, history etc. amazing. And all at a reasonable price. Wow! You people nailed it. Don’t miss this gem when you visit Bangor
We love our breakfast sandwiches in NJ.
But the SMH breakfast sandwich has surpassed any breakfast sandwich I've ever had. In fact, I ordered it twice in a row for breakfast and a latte.
I literally dreamt about it and woke up and told my partner, yeah we're getting the sandwich again. Do not hesitate to order from here!! I'm still thinking about it, and I wish was there another day to enjoy just one more ...

The absolute WORST wrap I’ve ever had. I ordered a veggie wrap, no cheese….nothing but a cup+ of chopped white onion, a few pickle slices and a few thin slices of tomato. That’s it. Unique?? Disgusting. Subway is 100 % better. I ordered it to go and was driving home which was two hours away or I definitely would have taken it back and demanded a refund. If this is their “unique” veggie….nothing but onions, they must be a bunch of comedians laughing at their customers! A waste of my hard earned money.
Update: wish I had read other reviews before wasting my money here. Since I’d never been there before, I didn’t know you could request no onions, or fewer onions. I’m kinda wondering though, if you do request none, what’s left?? That’s basically all mine was.

Excellent service, breakfast was great. Prices are hotel grille prices, nothing new there. I want to point out, that Julie is an excellent server, always very attentive and making sure everything was in order. She definitively made the experience better.
The burgers were delicious, the sodas were ice cold but........ The fries were ice cold and the place was filthy and didn't see a single person cleaning tables an it was noon time. Soda and water all over the floor by the pop machine and dirty tables from prior customers
I had my graduation family dinner. We all enjoyed our meals. We were seated w reverence and promptly. Dinner was served hot and delicious. I will continue to recommend to all my friends. Oh and parking was valet!
Staff was nice and helpful. Dinner portions are generous in size. Good dinner value while downtown.
Fantastic atmosphere, quiet with stellar staff. Shout-out to Gene for his professionalism! Thanks to all for a great experience. I will definitely be back!
The shop is very nice, and very clean. Staff was wonderful but I'm not sure what all the hype is. My sandwich didn't even have a whole piece of cheese,the salami was like what you buy in a package and the entire bottom of the roll was full of diced onions. 3; pickles. I didn't eat it.
One of our favorite "nice" places in Bangor, hands down. Absolutely spectacular food, the service was great, even though they were super busy. It is a lovely smaller restaurant that is not too noisy and romanticly rustic. Perfect place for laid back date night. Amazing hummus. Strongly recommend.
Craft beverages , creative cocktails and the coolest 😎 👌 ✨️ seasonal menu in town. Fun inspired plates are themed and inspired. Always willing to accommodate food allergy/ intolerance. Fun place to play some old school arcade games. Or rent a theater room! 🎥 still showing all your old favorites 😍 ❤️
My partner and I absolutely love this fine establishment. I love the beautiful decor and fresh, real, flowers! We have gone here so many times the staff treat us like family and know us both by name. We are both creatures of habit and always order the Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Mixed Mushroom Papperdelle Pasta and a dessert which we change up everytime. I have yet to try a dessert (Or entree) I didn't like. I find the pricing to be more than reasonable, this isn't frozen, precooked, prepackaged food. It's homestyle and made from scratch and it really shows. In addition to being very big portions. I also think it's really neat how they bring out water in really fancy bottles and leave it on your table. Finally, I love the entire staff here. The owner Rachel is very, very nice and it's always so wonderful to see her. Can't wait to see everyone again soon!
Pretty cool Japanese style noodle bar, the only distraction was the hard rock music. I'm a big classic rock fan myself but it was a bit weird and almost jarring. Am I being too picky for expecting asian music in an Asian restaurant? The food is excellent though and portions are generous. Not exactly the cheap ramen you get at the supermarket, it's at least ten bucks for a bowl of soup, but it's a nice overall experience.
What can I say! From the moment you walk through the door it is amazing and the customer service is exceptional. My husband and I went for brunch and the waitress was so personable and made you feel like family, the food was excellent and the atmosphere of the place was so warm and welcoming. We will definitely be going back again and trying more of the meals. The chef certainly knows how to satisfy the palate. Even the Bloody Mary we had was the best we had ever tasted.
I have lived in or near Bangor and for many years I had no idea about this place...
It is incredibly difficult to find chicken salad anywhere (in my experience) especially without cranberries or raisins mixed into it but we will talk more about that in a moment...
When we walked into this place it felt like walking into a friends lounge area with a kitchen attached to it. The people were incredibly welcoming and kind and the place smelled like something home made was being baked.
Now about the food.
My absolute favorite sandwich is a chicken salad. I have loved them since the first time I had one after a little league game when I was a little kid.
There is something about the rich creamy taste with the salt and chicken in a salad being hoisted by a vessel of delicious bread that always just settled with me unlike any other sandwich.
I have tried chicken salad from many...many...many different places and I must tell you that I absolutely LOVE the chicken salad here!!
Perfect amount of dressing and the chicken is beautiful broken down so that you don't make a horrible mess on yourself and their flavoring is fantastic.
I could go on about it for ages but already I feel my review might be to long so let me talk about their baked goods...
My wife and I shared a chocolate chip cookie whoopie pie and it was shockingly fantastic! We ate it in the car and we kept smelling it before we ate become it was so delightful!
The cookies are not thick monsters and the frosting in the center is not overly layered, perfectly balanced and homemade!
TL;DR: Beautiful place to check out with incredibly kind and welcoming people and absolutely phenomenal chicken salad sandwiches and chocolate chip cookie whoopie pies!

I guess the 30 minute hold time on the fish fillet is just a recommendation. This was the nastiest sandwich I have ever bitten into. I had to share one sauce between two nugget orders. Now let’s move on to using chili meat for my JR bacon absolutely disgusting. No seasoning on the meat either. Fries were cold, paid for cheese and onion on a chili didn’t get it. The nuggets were hot and fresh too bad we each couldn’t have our own dipping sauce.
I won’t short them at all, this was de facto the best Italian sandwich I’ve ever had.
I ordered from UberEats and as such this will be a shorter review because I didn’t dine in, so I don’t necessarily have anything to say in those terms.
However, what I can say is, what I got was not what I was expecting, and I mean that in the absolute BEST way possible. I ordered a Large Super Deluxe Ham and Salami. Let me tell you, I am a big man. I have a big appetite. I could not finish that sandwich. The presentation was very unique, I am sad I didn’t take a picture. The term I used to describe it was open-face but I’m not quite sure that’s right. The Salami and Ham sat atop the Sub Roll (from Bangor Rye!) and was topped with pickles. Inside the actual sub was all of the toppings: onions, peppers, tomato, etc.
The prices were very cheap, and my sandwich tasted amazing. Honestly, I can’t tell you specifically why it tasted so good, but it tasted like something that had a lot of care put into it. I can tell those who work here probably enjoy and care a lot about what they do. I would highly recommend.

However, what I can say is, what I got was not what I was expecting, and I mean that in the absolute BEST way possible. I ordered a Large Super Deluxe Ham and Salami. Let me tell you, I am a big man. I have a big appetite. I could not finish that sandwich. The presentation was very unique, I am sad I didn’t take a picture. The term I used to describe it was open-face but I’m not quite sure that’s right. The Salami and Ham sat atop the Sub Roll (from Bangor Rye!) and was topped with pickles. Inside the actual sub was all of the toppings: onions, peppers, tomato, etc.

Great place for breakfast or lunch. Vegan options! They have a vegan sandwich on the menu, but they'll gladly put the Impossible brand items in anything. I had an Impossible breakfast burrito that was great!
Somewhat disappointing take on a modern ramen joint. We stopped in for a midweek lunch, and the counter person was very polite and helpful. I ordered a miso ramen with some typical add-ons (chashu, tamago, etc.), and we looked for a table to sit down at. The place was empty, but most tables were still dirty and sticky, so we had to switch spots a couple times. When the ramen arrived, it somehow just looked off. Normally miso broth is cloudy and rich, this seemed watery and separated. The noodles were very similar to what you'd find in a packet of Top Ramen, and the tamago (egg) was still cold and liquid in the center. I will give credit to the chashu; the pork was thick and fatty, and was probably the only thing that stood out. The overall flavor profile seemed more like a generic attempt at ramen, rather than the genuine article.
As a visitor from out of state, maybe I'm spoiled for choice living in a major city that's a culinary destination, since this is a smallish town in central Maine, but even without other competition, I would expect better ramen than this.

The ambiance is LOVELY, very calm atmosphere. The food was absolutely AMAZING! It was so tender that I didn't really even need a knife to cut through it. Everything was cooked thoroughly and the seasoning wasn't heavy so you could taste everything blending together like a symphony in your mouth! The staff was VERY attentive and quite pleasant, she checked up periodically to ensure that everything was good with my meal. I would gladly come back here. 10/10!
Great place to visit with a lot of history, too. Excellent service and atmosphere. The entree options are a bit limited but I would say that none of them would disappoint. I can personally suggest the rack of lamb with pistachio crust and roasted tomato. Wonderful! We will visit again.
Tons and tons of unique sandwiches. Bread was fresh the lady that makes the sandwiches is very nice.
They carry good root beer for the win.
The only catch is they make the cold cut subs like a lobster roll. So if you are a tourist don't be surprised that it isn't the run of the mill sub you are used to.

Beautiful club turned restaurant with a rich history. The wait and host staff were friendly and accommodating. The food was so delicious!! I got the lamb (see picture) and my husband got the filet and crème brûlée. Despite the incredible dining experience, the most memorable part was exploring the rest of the building, playing games like shuffleboard & billiards, and having drinks on the rooftop while enjoying the view of Bangor. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting!
My Family got three sandwiches, I only have pictures of two. Each sandwich only had one slice of deli meat and really nothing else to it. I ordered an italian wrap and got ham, cheese, and pickles. Id like to see improvement from this place
Clam chowder was great. Also had the cheeseburger with gluten free bread and huge steak fries that I loved. My server was attentive as well.
Another amazing place to stop by if you are looking to experience authentic Asian food in Maine! Great staff and equally charming ambiance.
Everything I ordered arrived quickly and tasted amazing. I normally don't go for iced tea, but I have nothing but great things to say about the Thai Iced Tea I tried at Umami. Can't wait to stop by when we are back in town again!
Warm wishes from the AXDC CREATIVE Team!

As a kid I always got sandwiches from skip best sandwiches but not now the past few times the onions are so overwhelming thats all u taste is called and they said order half the onions..it should be automatic bu she said they are generous on onions who wants to eat that much onion... not us. Also my husband got a ham n cheese with mayo only they charged if he was buying deluxe wow expensive
After I couldn't get soup delivered from my favorite Italian place I decided to give Umami a try. I was not disappointed! The chicken and pork broth was so flavorful, the udon noodles had the perfect bounce to them, toppings were on point and the gyoza were *chefs kiss* delicious! Will definitely be back.
Good veg options
We ate here on our recent road trip in New England. We ordered their moussaka and spanakopita. The food was delicious and the service was adequate. The vegetarian options on the menu were good. The only thing we were not happy about was that we asked them if they had any complimentary bread and dipping oil when we got there because we were famished and they said they could bring us some pita bread and olive oil. So we were happy but then when we got our bill we were surprised they actually charge us for it - something that should have been a freebie. Not good form. Note to the restaurant: the more freely you give, the more business you get!

Absolutely awesome! Excellent, high quality ingredients are used and the unique offerings are worth it all! This isn't just a sandwich shop - this is a legacy. I'm not even sorry I'm being cheesy. We went for the first time yesterday and while my bacon wasn't fully cooked, the experience STILL has us back today - for the exact same order. I just asked for the bacon to be well done this time. 😋 So so so good! I can't wait for lunch!
Popped in for the very first time a little after noon today. Have been wanting to check this place out for quite some time, very glad I finally made a day to do so! I was surprised to see the inside is much more spacious than photos online have made it appear. Staff was very friendly, nice selection of arcade games and board/card games... but let’s get the the real reason for my 5 star review. I don’t know who cooked my roasted cauliflower tacos or whose idea it was to put them on the menu, but boy oh boy did it change my entire life from this day forward! It’s a challenge for me to find a place that not only accommodates a Vegan diet, but does so in a such a flavorful way. I’m not kidding, those tacos are among the most delicious foods I’ve ever tasted in my 32 years of existence. Big thanks go out to Queen City Cinema Club for having several Vegan friendly options! My son and boyfriend ordered regular sandwiches and were equally pleased with the tastes and the portion sizes they received. The staff today was incredibly friendly as well. If you’re looking for a fun way to spend a couple hours I highly recommend checking this place out! It’s now one of our favorite places to go.
Wonderful little Mediterranean spot in downtown Bangor. Close enough to the airport to stop by on your way for a nice lunch. The bisque was so good, as was the hummus appetizer. They are gluten free friendly if you just ask for a substitute for dippers or what's on your plate. The falafel is delicious and so were the fried olives!
This is an absolutely amazing experience! The ambiance is incredible, the food was beyond amazing and beyond compared to what you can get in Bangor in general. I love the arcade, all the games, the owner was so personable. Highly recommend 5 out of five would even give 10 Stars if they offered it
Both me and my partner agree this is our favorite sandwich shop in the Bangor/Brewer area.
We had our rehearsal dinner here- the building and rooms are beautiful and the rooftop is gorgeous! The service and food were great! Moderately pricey menu but worth it! Had I known how awesome this venue was we would’ve just had our small wedding there! Thanks for all your care and accommodations- with love, the newlyweds, Jim and Monica
Staff was very slow coming to the front counter, easily mixed up when taking my very simple order, unsure if they had egg salad (which was on the menu), the turkey sub had no flavor (even with salt added) & they don't sell or offer lettuce at all there. Most of the dining room tables were dirty.
Excellent attention to detail. Best gin and tonic in town so far. Summer sipper with a shot of vodka added was great. Bacon bleu burger tops any others I’m town hands down. Fries were piping hot and awesome. Onion rings were the type that don’t pull the entire onion out in the first nibble. Honestly best food and drinks I’ve found in town so far. Outdoor seating and staff are 5/5.
LoL asked for eggs over easy and was told the grill wasn’t on.... but I could order “anything on the menu”. So I could order a burger but the grill isn’t on?? I could get scrambled eggs but the grill isn’t on?? Prepare food is NOT good and it’s heated in the microwave. We try to support local businesses but can’t do it any more at the airport. Guess it’s Coachhouse in Brewer
Attended a wedding Saturday afternoon following into the evening, the help was impeccable, the dinner was delicious and lacking nothing! Decor for Christmas was unforgettable and really added to the wedding festivities! If you want an memorable experience this is the place to choose.
I have stopped here so many times and finally got to taste the lobster. Fresh!!!
Good choices, staff, and atmosphere. A good place to go with groups of any kind. Kinda cold during winter but the hot soup warms you up quickly. It's fast and not super expensive. Overall a good experience. (The pictures are from after we dug into our delicious meal)
Very awesome food. Very nice staff as well. :)
Great food and amazing customer service. Did not have to wait more than 3 minutes for my sandwich, and it was busy.
The Bangor International Airport is extremely small compared to others with only a couple of gates and just one eatery. It's not bad by any means, however it is extremely basic with prices that are jacked up like any airport food.
The lobster club was very good. The food has a real home style taste and feel. A great option for eating in the Bangor airport.
I've been here countless times after returning from numerous overseas deployments, and it just never disappoints! Breakfast all day along with delicious burgers and even lobster rolls! Friendly staff and decent prices make this place a must stop when in Bangor International.
Typical for an airport restaurant, a bit on the pricey side, the food was good not great but the staff was friendly and everyone around me seemed to be enjoying themselves before their flights. The wings could have been a bit crispier and spicier, the fries needed a little crisping as well, the lobster roll hit the spot.
A quick addition adter the rain and wind storm - Dec 2023 - They stayed ipen but there were so many who couldn't fiix food at home without power, they ran out of products shortly after noon. Still great service! It's hard to find REAL Maine Italian sandwiches anymore. They used to be everywhere. Now the chain sub shops have decimated people's ideas of how our sandwiches should be. Legacy truly provides an opportunity for those of us who remember the great Italian sandwiches to get one that tastes great now. If you want something else, they have those too, but try the Italian for the Maine sandwich of 50 years ago. Tradition has been revived.
