Nestled in a charming corner of Saco, Traditions Italian Restaurant invites you to indulge in the heartwarming flavors of traditional Italian cuisine. With its mahogany bar and antique chairs, this trattoria exudes a cozy ambiance that makes it perfect for any dining occasion. As you step inside, the inviting atmosphere is enhanced by the delightful aromas of freshly baked bread and savory sauces wafting through the air.
A tiny New England pub (not really suitable for parties larger than 4) but oh the food is amazing! The lasagne is huge and delicious. The fried haddock is amazing. I had the local clams in butter sauce with linguine. It was the perfect meal. Highly recommended.

Traditions Italian Restaurant is hands-down one of the best dining experiences in the area. The warm and welcoming atmosphere set the tone for a perfect evening. Cozy lighting, rustic decor, and the soft hum of Italian music created the kind of ambiance that makes you want to stay for hours. The SALSA GUSTUSA is absolutely phenomenal. Perfectly tender seafood simmered in a rich, flavorful tomato sauce with just the right balance of herbs, peppers, and onions. It tasted like something straight out of a family kitchen in the heart of Italy. You can tell this dish is made with love and tradition. Equally impressive was the service. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food. Our server gave thoughtful recommendations and made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table. Traditions isn’t just a restaurant, it’s an experience. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just craving a soul-satisfying Italian meal, this place should be at the top of your list. We’ll definitely be back!

It reminded me of an old school restaurant. The food was very tasty, I thought the meat pie was phenomenal. The Veal Parmesan was flavorful and super tender, I wish the portion was a little bigger. Prices are on par with other places. The service was great. The restaurant is small and you should probably expect to wait at least 30 minutes for a table.

After a few nights of trying lobster, with no real "wow", it was time for something different and Traditions did not disappoint! From the kind greeting, to a thank you & have a great night - They are doing a grand service and meals here! We started with bruschetta that was full of zest, with melted mozzarella. Then for mains of shrimp & chicken with their Rosa sauce and shrimp, scallops, and halibut with the same sauce, and both with angel hair pasta. And not naming all the flavorful ingredients to boot! These dishes were well prepared, hot, and the right mix of all things. Stop in and get yourself some!

Warm and friendly welcome to this old school Italian restaurant filled with locals. Parking is tricky so make sure you don’t go in the back lot. Delicious red sauce so best to stick with the classic dishes. I made the mistake of ordering a chicken Caesar salad which was basically a side salad with a few strips of chewy chicken for $19. Chicken parm was good.nice selection of Italian wine by the glass

Sensational. The place is packed with what appears to be many local people on a Tuesday night. Come early so you won’t have to wait. My wife had the lemon vitale; a lemon, caper veal dish. My wife raved about her dish. I agreed it was sensational. My dish of eggplant Parmesan was huge. I had enough left over for a full dinner on Wednesday night.. Thank you Traditions for being so close to home. I had eggplant Parmesan with a side of sausage. By far the best ever eggplant Parmesan & homemade sausage. Let me repeat myself the best ever eggplant Parmesan & homemade sausages I’ve ever had in 72 years.🏆😘

Fast food restaurant
Restaurant
Rapid Ray's is a legendary take-out spot that has been a staple in Saco since 1953. This drive-in style restaurant offers classic fast food fare such as burgers, hot dogs, lobster rolls, and clam cakes. Despite its fast food concept, Rapid Ray's takes pride in using fresh and high-quality ingredients. Locals rave about their popular items like the Big One (double patty burger) and poutine for their great value.
We worked with Bryan and Rapid Ray’s for our late-night wedding food option, and they absolutely delivered! Bryan was by far the friendliest and most efficient vendor we worked with. He kept everything simple, clear, and stress-free. The food was phenomenal (as always!) and was a huge hit with all of our guests. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Rapid Ray’s to anyone—whether you're grabbing lunch or catering an event, you won’t be disappointed.

Yummy hot dogs and fries, chill atmosphere ( on the day I went it's not always, lol) plenty of spots to perch and eat a authentic Maine spot.

Great people, great food, quick service and the place is always clean. They cut and grind their own burgers out back, and they have a butcher who comes in every other day and makes them fresh. So you’re never getting old, frozen patties like other fast food joints. Everything is made to order and off the grill in minutes. They do get quite busy, but it’s worth the wait if you do end up having to wait in line. Plus, everything is super affordable. Wonderful spot for a quick bite to eat!
Anthony S — Google review
Really lives up to it's name, food was freshly made yet ready exceptionally quick, a large order for 4 was ready in under 3 minutes. The food has a classic small town feel to it; I recommend going with the steamed dogs and a side of fries. For drinks they have standard water, soda, and coffee options or if you want to try something more unique you can pick up 8oz cartons of milk (either plain or chocolate) for $1.

I was very disappointed in our burgers today. I found a hair in my burger plus the quality of the overall product was not good, and not at all like it use to be. I’ve been going there since I was a little girl, won’t be going back. It’s just not what it use to be in my opinion.

Great food fast. Freshly made to order. Hot & Delicious. They have burgers, dogs, lobster rolls, fries, onion rings, chili, water, soda, coffee, milk. Order at window, pick up at other window. Staff is friendly and helpful. No seating inside. Very affordable. We love our "Ray's Days.

Nestled along the picturesque Saco River, Pacifico Restaurant is a vibrant culinary gem that transports you straight to Havana. As you step inside, you're greeted by an inviting ambiance filled with lush palm fronds, stylish rattan chairs, and striking cerulean walls that reflect the restaurant's lively spirit. This chic eatery offers a thoughtfully curated menu showcasing creative Latin American dishes infused with passion and flavor.
Came in on my own (a little nervous) but that staff was amazing! They took great care of me and answered all my questions. I got a cocktail, the guacamole, octopus, and the cherry cheesecake. It was all fantastic! Would definitely recommend

Overall great atmosphere, food and drinks. They offer margaritas in multiple flavors - classic, coconut, guava, passion fruit, etc. The guava and passion fruit were great! I highly recommend the Arroz Frito dish. The atmosphere was very open and inviting. Large bar area as well.

A Hidden Gem in Biddeford!!! 🍲🥟🍮🥑🥗 Pacifico is an absolute gem vibrant, welcoming, and full of energy! The South American and Latin-inspired dishes burst with fresh flavors, and the homemade bread was a standout. Everything was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. We loved our dinner so much that we came back two days later for brunch and it was just as amazing! The atmosphere is lively yet comfortable, and the service truly stood out. The host was warm and attentive, checking in on us often to make sure everything was perfect something we really appreciated. If you’re anywhere near Biddeford, do yourself a favor and make a stop at Pacifico it’s a must-visit for anyone who loves bold flavors and genuine hospitality.

This is a lovely spot for an intimate outing, dinner was perfect. We didn’t think we needed a reservation on a Wednesday night but it does get busy so it’s helpful to book ahead of time. Our server was so professional, friendly and helpful. She translated the menu for us since it’s in Spanish, I had the whole fried fish and my date had the steak tips which were both delicious options. The atmosphere is amazing and relaxed, it’s definitely worth a visit.

We had the most amazing dinner here! The atmosphere was chill and tropical. It was my husbands birthday and he doesn’t love big displays in public. One of the staff was in on this secret and made him feel special without drawing attention. And brought us the dulce de leche ricotta dessert - INCREDIBLE - comped for his birthday! So sweet - thank you for that! All of our food was delicious and gorgeous! I love ceviche and theirs was perfect. Highly recommend!

Best brunch in Saco-Biddeford! Pacifico makes their own breads for the avocado toast, french toast, and burger buns. Fresh juice, fantastic coffee, and cocktails. They cut no corners on quality and atmosphere. The staff is friendly & informative. We sat on the outside patio with generously-sized umbrellas and beautiful hydrangeas. Prices are comparable with IHOP with 100% better food and sevice.

My wife and I had a wonderful dinner at Pacifico. We 'grazed' on the excellent appetizers: guacamole and plantain chips (amongst the best we have ever had), ceviche (red snapper), and pulpo (tender and wonderfully savory)

The drinks and appetizers were very good, and the person who was serving/hosting/bartending did a fantastic job. The live music sounded great. The only thing we didn’t like was the fried rice dish for $65 it had 4 41/50 shrimp and 4 bits of steak and tasted like straight sesame oil. Next time we would come in for just drinks and appetizers.

Diner
Restaurant
Palace Diner, located in Saco, is a vintage counter-serve diner housed in a railcar that has been serving the town since 1927. The old-fashioned comfort fare for breakfast and lunch includes classic favorites like omelets, corned beef hash, flapjacks, and a rotating selection of local beers. The diner's old-world dining room with classic bar stools offers an authentic experience.
We stopped at the Palace Diner for some breakfast and it was a really good choice. It’s small and only had counter seating. 15 seats. The atmosphere is like going back in time but it’s kinda cool. It’s a fairly small menu but the food is delicious. I had the French toast and it was excellent!!!! Our server was terrific, friendly and attentive and she gave us some ideas for things to do and see in the area. FYI, it’s cash only. There’s some parking in front of the diner as well as a big general parking lot. Definitely recommend for breakfast and lunch.

Classic box car diner! Stool seats only, and usualy there is a wait! But worth it! Fast service and classic diner food. The banana nut bread and coffee was excellent. They also have beer! They have a good system with wait list, will text you when seat opens. Cash only!

After attending an event with Phil Rosenthal, where he spoke so highly of the Palace Diner, I could not resist the opportunity to come try it. Since it was my last morning in town before flying home, I was sure to get up early to be one of the first customers; given the limited seating, I was extremely nervous that I would not be able to dine here without risk of missing my flight. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I showed up on a Wednesday morning and was not only the first customer to enter the diner when they opened, but actually the only customer in the diner the entire time I was there. I know that is not great for business, but in speaking with the waitress, she informed me that typically in the off-season there is not quite the rush that they experience in the summer months. All of that being said, this quaint little rail car diner was everything I hoped it would be and more. I decided to order the lumberjack breakfast so that I could get a balance of sweet and savory, and also try their infamous flapjacks and breakfast potatoes. The flapjacks were fluffy perfection and I ended up taking a side order to-go with me on my flight. The breakfast potatoes were perfectly crispy on the outside while somehow maintaining a soft delicate interior. My eggs were scrambled perfectly and the breakfast sausage added a nice kick of protein that I needed. The service could not have been more friendly and engaging – although I’m not sure the waitress really had a choice since I was her only customer (just kidding, she was lovely!) They are a cash only spot and there is some parking nearby.

Reasonable prices and excellent food. The fries were crisp and cooked well, NOT soggy with grease like so many places. Hamburger was fresh and thier sauce is delicious. Pancakes are made from scratch. 10 out of 10, a must eat place. Be sure to plan ahead as seating is limited but the wait is well worth it. They have a text update once you are on the wait list that will give you 3 updates so you know when to start heading back and when it's ready. Lots to see and do within a 2 minute walk.

We stopped by on a trip with our son to Maine after watching the episode on Somebody Feed Phil featuring this diner. We only had a 15 minute wait and enjoyed the weather and shops while we waited. The place is small but very cozy. The tuna melt was the best thing we had on our entire trip to Maine and that’s saying a lot! The chicken sandwich was delicious but hard to manage. I don’t know how anyone can finish it! My son got the French toast and it was some of the best we’ve had. That crunchy outside was from the heavens. Definitely worth a trip when visiting the Portland area.

Phil Rosenthal mentions this hidden gem any and every chance he gets and there’s a reason. The heightened simplicity has me marveled over the greatness. Not a single dish falters. Service is consistently excellent. I drive from Boston for these pancakes because these are THE BEST PANCAKES IN THE WORLD.

We are on a trip that started in Stowe, Vermont and ending in Portland, Maine. After over a week of eating at different places, I can confidently say this is the best food we have had all trip by a long shot! The service was at the same level. If I am ever again within a couple hours from here, I am making the detour 🤣 I am still fantasizing about our breakfast. I still can't decide which I like more, the lumberjack breakfast or the chicken sandwich. I recommend getting both 👌
Sergio — Google review
Saw this place all over the Internet and TV a few years before, and never had the chance to visit before until now. Of note, there are 15 stools available at the diner, and if you come when there’s a wait, they have a good weight loss system where you can come back to get your seat. I just walked in and sat down at one of the many open stools available that day. Sat right across from the kitchen and had a great time. Check out the menu photo below, but I got the classic everything breakfast that included their famous Palace potatoes, which were great. There is communal real maple syrup for everyone to use so you don’t have to ask, which was a nice touch as well. I don’t think it’s the best diner I’ve ever had breakfast at, but it’s solid and worth a visit.

Nestled on the banks of the Saco River, just a stone's throw from Biddeford, lies Run of the Mill Public House & Brewery. This cozy tavern-style eatery offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with its brick walls and wood beams. The menu features classic pub fare alongside an impressive selection of house-brewed beers including lagers, ales, porters, and stouts.
Drinks were great , beer was awesome, and food was top tier! sit outside on a sunny day and watch the river, covered patio or table with umbrella. I’ve never seen waitresses so good that they can remember an entire table of drink and food orders with customization and not miss a beat, and all with a cheery attitude. Highly recommended!
Derek M — Google review
Parking situation is a little weird but ample spots. If you’re waiting on others to join you, recommend requesting a table while you wait. At 7pm, we had a 20-25 minute wait. They did a good job at giving us a true estimated wait time & update when our table was ready. They update you via text, so that gives you some flexibility if you didn’t want to wait in their waiting area. Clam chowder was good. I liked how it was more heavy on potatoes instead of clam. Creamy and served with crackers. I feel like the Mac n cheese gets a lot of undeserved hype. For a “triple cheese sauce” - I would’ve expected it to be cheesier. Felt dry - definitely needed more cheese. Nothing spectacular about the crunchy topping. The Parmesan wheel on top was different and a nice addition. Drinks sucked. I ordered a water and a strawberry lemonade. When the waitress came out, I actually thought my drink was the water (pictured with the soup). Didn’t get water until later, had to ask for it 2x throughout the night. My sister’s drink was forgotten about. Waitress eventually brought it out and took it off the tab. Which bumps this rating from a 2 star to a 3 star review. You don’t see compensation given these days, so when compensation is given - it deserves recognition. I tasted my friends’ drinks: - Spicy Watermelon Margarita: also pale in color, tasted like a Jalepeno in water - Raspberry Margarita: tasted like a lime dipped in raspberry Did not want a second sip of either. The fact that they all sucked, is concerning. Two others from our table got the lobster roll and fish tacos and they were pleased with their choices!! Looks like it could be a cute place to gather. Originally planned on meeting another friend here for drinks - will NOT do that in the future. 3 strikes with the cocktails (maybe their beer is better; but sucks for those who are not “beer people.”) Was expecting better.

Honestly, I’m sad it wasn’t better. Food was okay… we ate it but nothing to rave about. We came early and were sat right away. No wait and not a packed dining room. It was cold inside and the rain outside didn’t help. Our waitress did mess up the order and had to bring out a meal after the rest of us started eating. After that, never checked back not even for a refill of drinks. wanted to try something new, so we did but that’s probably the last time we will visit there. Overall, not the worst but certainly not the best.

He's a little guy but he crushed 1, took the 2nd home and was excited for leftovers the next day. I got the Seafood Fra Diavolo- definitely an excellent choice Love this place and excited to return when we're in the area Lastly, the horseradish Dijon mustard dip for the corn dogs was one of the best condiments ive ever had in my life!!!

The food was very good, a nice array of tavern food-type items(beer and beer cheeses and fried foods and such). The customer service was incredible, true impressive. Our hostess was notably gregarious and kept us well-updated on tables, and our server Christopher was one of the best waiters I've ever seen. He was joking with all of his tables at once and provided rapid and attentive service, ranging from finding a sweetening agent for our mixed drink(lemonade!) to good wine recommendations to helping a nearby customer get a meal ticket in minutes before the kitchen closes. Truly a master class in helping the customer, a delightful evening.

First time in Maine and just wanted to have traditional "New England" clam chowder, and this place did not disappoint! The chowder was perfect! Creamy, potatoes, and TONS of clams! Started with the bang bang shrimp that was also top notch. Really great place and will be hard to try clam chowder somewhere else while I am up here. Ok, editing because I came back the following day, specifically for the chowder and a lobster roll. It did not disappoint and whenever I happen to come back to this area, this is where I'll come. The lobster is some of the best I've had, lump meat, warm buttered bread, mayo 🤤😌 Not sure if this is a hole in the wall here, but damn! This Texas girl wants to have this every night! Absolutely recommend!

When in Maine...ordered the clam chowder which was creamy and full of class. Best clam chowder we've ever had. Saco lobster roll was pretty good - the roll itself was fantastic. We were a little shocked at the market price of $35, but that's on me for not asking. Also sampled lobster mac and cheese. Lobster was well prepared, the cheese sauce was bland. Stuffed haddock received mixed reviews. The haddock itself was good, but the dish itself was too rich to finish. Fried haddock and shrimp were perfection.

The staff is friendly, the service is fast, and the atmosphere has that classic Maine hometown feel. Highly recommend if you're in Saco — it’s a staple for good reason! — Robert Thibodeau Realtor® | eXp Realty Maine

We visited for brunch and were impressed with the service, food, and price-to-serving-size ratio. I wasn’t expecting them to get so packed, though! I guess it’s a local favorite in the Biddeford/Saco area. Thankfully, we still managed to get a table without having to wait. We ordered two meals — a special and the eggs + corned beef plate — plus two coffees, a Bloody Mary, and a homemade muffing for $50 after tax. Not bad at all, and this would’ve set us back quite a bit more at other diners. The food was delicious, although the corned beef was not the best I’ve had. The eggs were perfectly cooked, and the dish came with a generous amount of toast (four pieces versus your typical two pieces). The Bloody Mary was also delicious, only $7 — you can’t beat that. The homemade blueberry muffin, which we had grilled, was my favorite. The breakfast menu is limited and lacks items we expected to find at a place like this (breakfast burgers, biscuits & gravy, etc). Service was outstanding. We will be back!

The food here was good. It came out fresh and hot and was very tasty with good portions for the price. The first time we went was on the weekend and we sat outside. It had cute vibes though it is close to the emergency service stations so several times during our meal, cars went by with sirens going and it was quite loud. The rest of the time was quiet and enjoyable. The first time we visited the service was really friendly and professional. The second time we went it was a younger waitress who didn't get our order written down correctly and when we got our food and it was wrong, she seemed to have very little interest in trying to make sure that it was corrected. She had us swap our eggs to different plates as opposed to taking it back and correcting her mistake. She just kind of stared at us like she was lost or disinterested. Not a great impression. Just such a night and day experience. We went back to eat because we enjoyed ourselves so much the first time. But if our second visit had been our first, we wouldn't have gone back. Pics are from the first visit.

I’ve been to this diner twice now, once for dinner on a Thursday and again for Sunday brunch. I have to say, the brunch absolutely blew me away. The eggs Benedict were perfectly done, rich and flavorful, and the steak omelette was packed with tender meat and just the right amount of seasoning. Definitely one of the better brunches I’ve had in a while. Dinner was solid too, but brunch is really where this place shines. It’s clearly a popular spot expect a bit of a wait, especially on weekends but it’s worth it. The staff keeps things moving, and the food is consistently fresh and delicious. Overall, a reliable, no-frills diner with great energy and a standout brunch menu. I’ll definitely be back!

Very pleased with the short wait to be seated followed by quick food preparation. I ordered one of the specials to be disappointed by what was called spicy honey sausage omelet. It was neither spicy nor sweet from any honey. I was hoping for something out of the ordinary and new. Maybe this could be adjusted to heighten the flavors.

Absolutely loves this place! Got 2 empanadas (carne and chorizo) both were excellent— highly recommend extra pico and add on the salsa verde. I also the chips and guacamole. But the real star was the limeade! I got strawberry mint and it was out of this world. It’s definitely tart but on a hot summer day the most refreshing drink. I also appreciated the server who not only doubled checked the spelling of my name but also the pronunciation. She was so sweets

This is the spot if you’re craving a seriously good burrito. I’m talking massive, flavorful, and straight up delicious.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From S.B. Taylor Transport to Quiero Café – You’ve got a new fan for life! We finally had a chance to visit Quiero Café in Saco today for lunch, and WOW — we were completely blown away. The food was nothing short of amazing! I had the pork lunch special, and I can honestly say I’ve never had anything quite like it. Flavorful, perfectly cooked, and beyond satisfying. You can tell there’s heart and heritage in every bite. The staff was welcoming, the vibe was cozy, and it truly felt like one of those rare local gems that more people need to discover. From one local business to another — thank you for doing what you do so well. We’ll definitely be back soon (and often!) to try more of the menu. Saco is lucky to have you! — S.B.

Waiter was courteous and nice. Atmosphere was normal. Eggs tasted like someone twisted their sweaty jockstrap onto them after cooking. The inside was gooey and outside was overcooked. The bacon was as salty as a sperm whale and tasted like a used rubber. The toast was made from straight up week old great value bread, although they did butter it correctly. Pancakes were actually pretty good. I've had better sausage at my uncle's house. Coffee was worse than Dunkin like damn cheap diner coffee for sure, tasted as though it brewed through an old man's sock. Home fries weren't cooked enough, shredded hash browns were too crispy, crunchy like chewing a lightbulb but less sharp. Like I said waiter was on point though.

Excellent service and unbeatable prices, but there’s room for improvement when it comes to the quality of the food. I was looking for a quick, cheap diner breakfast and stumbled upon Lucky Loggers. Located at the Saco Shopping Plaza, this no-frills restaurant has an extensive menu and prices that you’re not likely to find elsewhere around this area. I ordered the Lumberjack Breakfast for $12 — it came with three eggs, plenty of toast, hash-browns, bacon, two sausages, and a small juice and coffee. Seriously, you just can’t beat that. Unfortunately, the hash browns tasted quite old. I had to add a lot of ketchup, salt, and pepper to make them edible. I ordered my eggs sunny side up, and two arrived already popped. The bacon was also overcooked. The service was great — the waitress was attentive and friendly. For $12, I guess you can’t ask for more. If you’re looking for a quick, cheap meal without caring much about quality, then this is a good place to stop at.

Came on a Monday at 10am. Waitress was fast, friendly but did not come back to check if we needed drinks or if everything was ok. I ordered a bacon, egg, cheese sandwich on English muffin. Would eat it again. Daughter ordered a mini breakfast off the kids menu with an order of home fries. The scrambled egg that came with hers was weird! It had a weird texture and a plastic type smell to it. Very odd. Shouldn't be served in restaurants. Home fries were seasoned well but you could tell they had been out for a while. Very dry. Edit to respond to owner. I didn't say we didn't get drinks. I said she never came back to see if we needed drinks or to see how the food was. Also, it seems other people have complained about the eggs.

Outstanding breakfast. Terrific personal service and delicious, properly prepared eggs over medium, whole wheat toast perfect, sausages were excellent, only 2 though:) lol.

It’s more than just a brewery; it’s a hub for connection and good times. Can’t wait to come back!

Banded not only has great beer, they have some of the best casual food in town! Fried chicken sandwiches, burgers (pictured,) crispy Brussels just to name a few of my favorites, and they have monthly and seasonal specials as well, like the schnitzel sandwich (pictured.) On Sundays they also have a phenomenal brunch, which their new cocktail menu pairs excellently with. Banded is always a great choice!

We're Biddos and Banded is one of the best perks of living here. Not just great beer + vibes (Gourd Lord happening now!) but FOOD that's crave-worthy! And actually healthy! When we need to go out for comfort food after one of *those* days but not feel super guilty (or super broke) after, we give thanks and head for Banded. Evidently they have pro chefs along with brewers in there - barley bowl is an all time fave and seasonal specials are delectable! Counting days til fiddleheads are back and looking forward to seeing what's coming up this month. Even the details like the BEST dill pickles and addictive chips are extra-fresh + yum. We haven't been to brunch on Sunday yet or tried desserts (usually too full after dinner) but they're on our to-do list before the year ends. Indulge and feel good!

Great food and friendly service. Atmosphere is lacking (no background music or noise) which makes dining in a little uncomfortable, the seats are close to each other and another customer in the restaurant made fun of me for taking photos of my food…I’ll get take out next time— but it is a clean and sterile-looking space. We loved our sushi, salad, & ramen. I got the spicy miso ramen and the broth really gets absorbed by the noodles— had to get extra broth. My partner got the chicken ramen and had plenty of broth left over. Will pass on the mochi next time, had some plastic in it and looked a little squished.

Non-seafood choices like a chicken sandwich, salad, tempeh are also available. The lightly battered and crispy dishes are made with sustainable catch like hake or Maine squid.
Came for brunch with a group of friends - was busier than we expected! Delicious fish and chips (most restaurants have it too breaded, but this one was perfect) and smoked fish melt! As soon as the plate was in front of me, my mouth was watering just because it smelled so good 🤤 would definitely go again.

This place is ridiculously cute inside think cozy coastal vibes with soft lighting, nautical touches, and little vintage details that make it feel homey without trying too hard. It’s the kind of place where you want to linger a little longer, just because it feels good to be there. The fish was perfectly crispy on the outside and melt in your mouth fresh on the inside. You can actually taste the difference, it’s clear they don’t mess around when it comes to quality. The chips? Golden, fluffy, and just the right amount of salty. I could go on, but honestly just try them and thank me later. It’s not just good service, it’s that relaxed, genuine kind where you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time walking through the door. If you’re craving classic fish and chips done right, in a space that feels like a cozy hug, do yourself a favor and swing by.

I had a friend tell me about Fish & Whistle and his recommendation did not disappoint! Five stars...and the best fish and chips I've had in all of New England! We called ahead for seating and they were very accommodating and had a table ready for us when we got there. Even though it was after 6:00, they filled up pretty quickly. The fish batter was extremely crunchy and the fries were great! Additionally, the twist dessert with the caramelized peaches and bread crumbs were totally off the hook! I would highly recommend if you are in Biddeford or nearby that you stop in and visit this gem! We drove up from the north shore of Massachusetts and we will definitely be back!

In the fall of 2024, while visiting Portland, Maine, we had two distinct culinary goals: to find the best fish and chips and to enjoy lobster in multiple meals. Happily, we accomplished both! The best fish and chips we found were at Fish & Whistle, discovered during a day trip south to Kennebunkport. Fish and chips is a go-to menu item for my wife and me, and having tried it at many places, we can confidently say this was the best we’ve ever had. Even a year later, we’re still raving about it! Unlike the common fish tenders served elsewhere, Fish & Whistle offered a large, perfectly fried piece of fish—crispy throughout without being oily, striking a delicate balance. They also had an impressive beer selection that day. If you’re in the Portland area, I highly recommend venturing south to enjoy these fish and chips, which are generously portioned—perfect for sharing, as we did.

Small eclectic restaurant with exceptional food. I was very unfamiliar with most of the menu but extremely happy with all our food and will definitely return. Salad was simple but beautifully plated and fresh, a great start to a meal. Not sure how to even describe the potato appetizer except to say try it. It is served cold and potato is creamy and sauce was exceptional, the flavors melted together for a beautiful dish. Tried two shrimp, they sell individually which is a great way to try an item without having to commit to a full meal, although I probably could have eaten a half dozen. Served head on and skewered the shrimp was tender and had a great sauce that had really nice heat. Eggplant probably the best I have ever had. Unique take on the dish as you get two very thick breaded and fried slices of eggplant. Crispy crispy crispy on the outside and melt in your mouth eggplant on the inside. Not sure how they can achieve that crunch and creaminess in one bite but they do. The pasta it is served with also delicious, has a nice bite and flavorful sauce. I believe I heard them say it was a local fresh pasta. Honestly cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. Go and try items you may never have heard of. You will not be disappointed.

Magnus on Water is an absolute gem. We stumbled upon this spot while staying at The Lincoln Hotel. We booked seats at the bar - though the patio looked especially inviting on a crisp fall evening - and had the pleasure of chatting with co-owner Cat (ask him why it’s called Magnus on Water), JB (his Southern boy name!) & Isabella (who donated a very cool nutmeg grinder from her Granny’s closet). The cocktail program is top-tier …if brown liquor is your thing, don’t miss the Stiletto & the Oob Fashion. The food is creative, thoughtful, & full of flavor. Standouts for us were the Amberjack Tiradito and the Corn Huancaína. And whatever you do, save room for the chocolate cake …it’s unmissable. Service and food were both 10/10. If we lived nearby, this would be a regular in our rotation.

This was our second time visiting, and we were again blown out of the water (no pun intended) by their creative menu, knowledgeable staff, and stellar service. We feel like this restaurant exceeds expectations and beats most restaurants in Portland. Even with a dietary restriction (gluten-free), I felt like I had so many options to choose from—and a tough time making decisions. The chocolate cake with the quinoa crunchies on top was divine. Can’t recommend this spot enough!

Pier French Fries is a long-standing seasonal window-serve eatery that has been serving up delicious french fried potatoes, hot dogs, and fried dough for over 90 years. Despite enduring fires and storms, it was the Blizzard of 1978 that led to its relocation from the pier to Old Orchard Street. This historic dining icon offers a taste of tradition with its iconic menu items and continues to be a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.
You can't stay in OOB and NOT get yourself some Pier Fries. It's just something you do. Pier Fries is in the heart of OOB so the atmosphere is alive and the epitome of beach side life. Crinkle cut fries that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They're just perfect every time. They are cash only.

Been eating these since I was a kid in the 80s, these are not the same fries. In fact, peeking out back, I can see they are frozen fries, but they used to be fresh cut. Will no longer eat these soggy disgusting fries. People reviewing these fries likely are relying on memories they had, like I did, and not realizing they’re not the same or just letting the hype inform their opinion of these fries, probably some fake reviews here too. I hope someone someday opens another fry stand and advertises them as fresh cut and put these cheap owners out of business. Shame to ruin a good thing like that..

Everyone's been telling me about this place. The fries did not disappoint. Perfect from the first fry till the last. Friendly people at the window. Will definitely be back..

Fries were soggy and most of the cup was bits and pieces, like it was the leftover bits and the bottom. Very disappointing, it was my first visit in many years, I have always remembered these as my favorite. They must have new owner's that don't care about the product or customer satisfaction. The price was reasonable if the product was as expected. Not planning a return visit, there are other places that sell fries...

I came on vacation from the Caribbean and visited OOB. The fries were the best fries I had eaten. The rest of my group came for the seafood. I’m not a seafood eater so found myself in line for 15 minutes to get these fries. But, worth the wait
Jamieson J — Google review
Close to the pier and downtown areas, in a very good spot. The fries here are very good, price has remained consistent for the years I've went to OOB and quality hasn't decreased. With only 2-4 windows open on a given day the wait can be lengthy at times, but there are benches to sit at and wait. Be mindful of the salt, I believe they use sea salt here as a member of my party one year had a reaction to it.
Xavier R — Google review
Crinkle cut for the win. I never thought I would say this but they do have the best french fries ever. I would take these all day over McDonald's. I would suggest getting the box. It acts as a good appetizer or snack for a family of four. Or if you know you and your partner are hungry you could knock out a big box. CASH ONLY!!

I loved my salad and the service was good. The place is quite large (and not very busy) but there were long periods of time without service. Not our servers fault. Our booth was very nice and roomy but not visable to the rest of the restaurant. Our server really seemed to care. I was a little annoyed that the “free refillable sodas” that came with the kids’ meals was only for certain sodas. Not clear on the menu and not explained when we ordered. The kids would have been happy with cokes or sprites. $22 later on soda, when the bill came, we realized sofas weren’t so free. I don’t mind spending money but hate wasting it.

Bloody Mary's were descent. Food was decent too. Service was pretty good. Busier than I thought for a Wednesday mid afternoon.

While visiting the town, me and my family stopped by here for lunch. Rachel attended us super well! Gave high recommendations for food n we ended up picking the pumpkin espresso martini, quinoa shrimp bowl and seafood bake. Omgoodness it was soooooo good. The food was the warm kind of meal we were looking for. Rachel even pulled out a map and pointed out places for us to visit and try out. We very much appreciated it.

We always love to try out local brew pubs when traveling. This was our first stop this trip with our large group and could not have been more pleased with the experience. The restaurant was open and airy with a large patio as well. Our waitress was friendly and quick. Every food option we ordered came out as described and we loved all of them. The lobster roll and haddock sandwich were classic Maine, and delicious. Several in the party ordered beer flights and there wasn’t a bad one in the bunch. Can’t wait to go back!!

Big Daddy’s is a must-visit every time we’re in Old Orchard — and they never disappoint. The fried ribs alone are worth the trip, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. As for the calamari, it easily ranks in my top two of all time. If I had to choose between them in a side-by-side tasting, I honestly don’t know if I could — both are that good. If you're in a hurry, I’d recommend arriving early, but if not, just relax and soak it in. The wait is absolutely worth it.

A culinary gem in Old Orchard Beach. On 8/5/2025 I had an exceptional meal at Big Daddy's (typing the name makes me laugh). The chef designed the menu and the staff cooking it know flavor and food. The Cesar salad with white anchovies (far higher quality and less oil then others) were greatly appreciated. The Clam chowder was full of clam and had the prefect consistency and creaminess, not to liquid, not to fatty, just right. The mixed seafood in broth (it was a special, I forget what they called it) Flavors were balanced and perfect. Lobster tale 9/10, shrimp 10/10, muscles 10/10, calamari 10/10 white fish 10/10.... ingredient's were obviously cooked separately and then combined so that nothing got overcooked .... perfect execution Dessert was a multi layer chocolate cake and a lemon cake.... moisture and firmness of cake was wonderful. Frosting was delicious, not to sweet, not to dense.... the chocolate used was of a high quality and the lemon flavor was almost subtle, but present. Best meal of this type that I have had in a long time. I will always spend an evening here on future visits.

Run don’t walk to this restaurant! We got there at a peak time, so we had a 20 minute wait. A patron came out & said, it’s worth the wait. It absolutely was!! We were seated & our server immediately took our drink order. By the time she came back with them we were ready to order our food. We calamari, NY strip steak with lobster, seafood risotto & Caesar salad with anchovies on the side. The steak was cooked perfectly, and it came with delicious garlic potatoes & asparagus. I ate the entire plate. The seafood risotto was a good portion size. All of it was cooked well! The calamari was so fresh! I could have eaten that alone for dinner. This is a small restaurant, but it packs a punch!! We will definitely be going again before we leave for home!

Stopped at this place for an early dinner as my mom and I were very hungry. They sat us down right away and our waitress was nice and recommended the warm lobster roll over the cold one and she didn’t let me down! Even though the food was delicious, it’s pricey for my lobster roll was $35 and my mom’s hamburger was $21. I could’ve just ordered a lobster roll on the pier for $15 but you get what you pay for! The atmosphere of the restaurant is cute and they have some seating upstairs too. I would suggest this place to anyone who is looking for quick service and good food but isn’t worrying about prices!

This place is everything you want in a small town American restaurant; cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. The service was top notch from the moment we walked in. You can tell the staff truly cares about creating a great experience; friendly, attentive, and just the right amount of laid back. The food? Absolutely delicious. Classic American favorites done right, with fresh ingredients and generous portions. And don’t sleep on the drinks well crafted cocktails and a solid selection that perfectly complement the laid back vibe. To top it all off, the location couldn’t be better. Right in downtown Old Orchard Beach, it’s the perfect spot to grab a bite before hitting the beach or winding down after a day in the sun. Highly recommend checking this spot out if you’re in the area, you’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit!

The charming restaurant offers delicious Tuscan and Italian cuisine in a luxurious setting with stunning furnishings. Despite being packed on a Tuesday night, the service was excellent.

Started with the calamari and it was light , crispy, and delicious. Had the Italian paella as my main and was very pleased. It was incredibly flavorful and the ingredients were obviously fresh. My lady had the chicken parm and in my opinion probably the best in the area. We split the tiramisu for dessert and it was a little slice of heaven. Besides the food being very good the service was also excellent

Taylor was an awesome server. She was attentive and caring. We got a nice table with a bird’s eye view of the gorgeous bar. The staff worked well together. We both ordered the chicken Parmesan and some calamari to share. The chicken was perfectly cooked and delicious. The calamari was very oily, like they forgot to drain it. It’s been a favorite of ours in the past, but not tonight. The focaccia bread was crusty and yummy.

I gave three stars because it could have been warmer, a bit chilly. Had to keep my jacket on! The heat kicked in 1 hour later! Food is pricy for amount; if you add fries instead of chips that come with a meal ,they add $2! Onion rings are more! For the price of a plate that should come with it. Upon walking in, no one was there to seat us! Maybe there is a lack of staff, not sure? The new world? Also, during our meal, the server didn't come back till the end of the meal to ask how things were. Otherwise, the food is yummy.

We were seated right away which was nice. Our table had a sticky substance on it and looked like it needed to be wiped down. The waitress explained that it is from the cleaning products and wiping it won’t help. The menus and your arms literally stick to the table. We ordered the BBQ Chicken and Caprese pizza and a few appetizers. The BBQ chicken pizza was amazing but the caprese pizza was soggy in the middle sitting in puddle of oil. It was not edible. Our server was nice but never came to check on us or offer refills, etc. I don’t think we will be back.

Very Good food. Relaxing atmosphere. I would recommend coming before 4pm during the summer at least if you want to avoid crowds and waiting. We went right when they opened and got seated right away. We only had to wait a few minutes for our early dinner. My only complaint is that they should have served our salads first before the meal 🥘 came out but instead within a couple of minutes of eating our salad 🥗 the food came out. Our waitress was very nice and checked on us but not so much that it was annoying. But again I would come right when it opens up to avoid the crowd. A bit pricey as well but worth it because the food again is really good and they also accommodated my daughter and made her grilled cheese 🧀 even though it wasn’t on the menu which I really appreciated. Will definitely be going back again. 👍 😋😊

Saco House of Pizza is a delightful gem in Saco that promises to elevate your pizza experience.

The building's striking Greek Revival architecture adds character, making it an inviting spot for both locals and visitors alike. Recently, I decided to try their delivery service on a rainy weeknight, and I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly my order arrived.
Fantastic pizza!! Me and my boyfriend went here to get a pizza before catching the train and let me tell you, heaven on earth. Ordered ahead and got a large pizza for $24, ready in about 15 minutes. I've had some bad experiences with the salads in the past (as others have mentioned), but the pizza experience is like no other. Stringy cheese, fragrant meats, and a good sized crust. ❤️ My one complaint is that the website is a bit out of date and hard to navigate, especially on mobile.

Ordered here a few times before and it was pretty good. Today I ordered two chicken bombs which came to $24 something. I got back to eat and one had a bone and hard chicken that I bit into, and the second had all fatty and tough chicken. I Called them to let them know, they said they would give us a credit the next time we ordered. They offered to remake them but we could not stomach trying them again after biting into bone. So I called and ordered more food, went back to get it. They somehow only took 4$ off of the second $24 order….. I called back and told them and the girl said she wanted the sandwiches that we threw away back in order to give a refund, which wasn’t mentioned when I talked to her the first time and told her I was throwing them both away. This is really wrong, and I will never be going back again. Thai is a picture of the eggplant parm I got the second time going back. Which I also could not eat.

We ordered a large cheese pizza online for the first time. We had never eaten here before and weren't familiar with how their online orders worked especially when we received an order number. After waiting a little while we called the restaurant just to make sure we did it correctly and wanted an ETA (not at all in a rush, we are just used to getting an ETA when we order food). The woman that answered the phone was so unbelievably rude. Had the nastiest attitude and while we were speaking she cut us off saying "yup, bye" and hung up in the middle of us speaking. I couldnt believe how rude that entire phone call was when we were boyond polite and respoectful. We had the phone on speaker and my jaw was on thr floor when i had heard everything that was being said and the attitude she had. Looking at reviews I'm going to assume it's the owners lovely daughter that others have mentioned. I work in customer service and have worked in multiple pizza shops, it's not for everyone and you can lose customers real quick with that kind of attitude. Accidents happen and can definitely be made up for and fixed but not with an employee like that. Disgusting behavior. Get a new job and stop dragging your family's business down because you're terrible at customer service.

I enjoy their food and order it fairly often. (When I don't want to cook) They have made me the wrong order twice.. asked if I wanted my correct order?!? The first time.... second time it was after 9pm and I didn't want to come back to get my correct sandwich. Instead of crediting me for my order they choose to give me 20% off a sandwich in the future. Very disappointed.... perhaps when it's the business that makes the error they should take accountability and refund you in full. Also the daughter of the owners is RUDE. Every single time.

Waited at home for 20 minutes then my wife waited 50 minutes after arriving to finally get our food with myself and our two daughters waited in the car.

We paid $90 got home just to find the order all wrong and food not fully cooked very doughy, but worse my daughters calzone had cheese in it. I called and was told they would give us 20% off our next order what a joke we will never go back. Took one bite of mine it was disgusting so I threw it out. Avoid at all costs too many quality pizza places in town to waist your time and money here.

Found this place on a suggestion of a Youtube video of Saco and the fellow said this was the place, uh well, no!Ordered a small pepperoni and green pepper pizza along with a garden salad for inside dining. The salad came to the table in a to go container and when the pizza came it had a strand of black hair in it, 😳 I took the hair out and ate the pizza, this place needs to step up their game or they will be out of business in no time. Gross. Spent $25 plus tip, wow.

If you're on the hunt for a delightful Italian takeout experience, look no further than Amato's! This beloved spot specializes in made-to-order sandwiches and offers an array of classic fare that will satisfy your cravings. Many visitors rave about their pizza, describing it as the best they've ever had—cooked to perfection with unique slice sizes that add a fun twist.
A staple for us! We order 1-2x a month for work for catering and they knock it out of the park every time even on short notice ! (Sorry!!) the food is delicious, and very affordable. Highly recommend the stuffed shells and Mac and cheese! Thanks guys!!!

Stopped by as it was recommended for a place for a good local cheap eat. We got the cheese bread and meatball sandwhich. Both were delicious. Though it is mainly for take out, there are some tables to dine in. The tables were a little dirty, but someone came around cleaning them right when we sat down. Great price for $12 for a footlong sandwhich which we shared.

Just got a sandwich there staying at hotel across the street. Worst sandwich I ever ate. 2 thin slices of ham, 1 slice of cheese and a ton of onions, tomato and olives. Couldn’t close sandwich. Should be more meat not tons of olives and onions. Roll was like a hot dog roll not Italian hero roll. Don’t waste your money.

It’s my favorite go to place for lunch when I’m working! :)

Just got a chicken ceasar salad wrap from here and there was hardly any lettuce or chicken, and the chicken was super fatty, most of it was inedible… I got a few strands of cheese at the end of the wrap, there was absolutely no shreds of cheese in the first half of it though. The entire Sandwich was 80%bread 20% filling….it was mostly all bread. There was hardly any dressing on it either. For a $10.50 Sandwhich this is absolutely unacceptable. I’m extremely disappointed and this location has really gone downhill the past few years….makes me not want to go to this location anymore even though I live in Saco….

I've eaten at Amato's for over 30 years and this is the worst experience I've ever had. I ordered a double italian and a ham and cheese. The sandwiches were mixed up. Then the italian had mashed up olives, no pickles on half of it, and tomatoes that were mushy. Bread was soggy and I ate inside. I love Amatos, however I will not go back to this location. It was such a disappointment as I only make it to Maine 2-3 times a year for a week at a time and eat an italian every day I'm here.

Worst McDonald's we've ever been to. Went in for breakfast, ordered and paid. Waited 20 minutes and went up to ask about order. They said they forgot to put it in. Ordered again and took additional 12 minutes for order, which came out cold. Watched everyone else order and get food in semi timely fashion. Asked to talk to manager and she reluctantly spoke to me. She said they were short of help and busy. When I said everyone got food, she blamed us. I said how do to order and pay for and not place order. Then try to lay the blame on the customer. Worst McDonald's I've ever been to in 50+ years and 30 + states. AVOID THIS PLACE!!!!

Nothing short of a catastrophe... Came in at 9:10, already several people waiting for their food and several in line at the drive-thru. Ordered using the screen. 50 minutes, still no food, and my order has disappeared from the screen, with several other people having been there for 30-40 minutes. We could hear people in the kitchen say that they had no idea what was outstanding and that they were lacking visibility on several orders. I was waiting with my wife and my two young ones. I ended up asking for a refund as I couldn't in good conscience get them to wait any longer... And even processing the refund was complicated as the girl who refunded had to do it twice... Walked out empty handed to a drive thru completely full and at a standstill... Never seen that before...

I placed a mobile order for breakfast and I arrived to the store at 10:30am-10:35am and was told they can’t make my order since it’s past breakfast time. Although I saw the car next to me order breakfast and it was fine with them. So I am confused why they were allowed to order breakfast on the spot but I couldn’t receive my breakfast order that I placed prior to breakfast closing? Shouldn’t the food be made for when I arrive? The lady said she would cancel the order and I would be refunded, but I still have not received a refund. Very disappointing, there’s always service issues at this store.

I ordered curbside one morning. They were busy, so it did take a while to get my food (about 20 minutes) but again I understood because of the amount of people there. However once I got home, I realized that my order of hash browns and sausage burritos, both burritos were missing, so I only got hash browns. I put in a request online, and someone from the store contacted me. Samantha (the general manager) wanted me to accept basically what was a gift card, but it couldn’t be used online, so I asked for a refund instead. She then ghosted me despite a few follow up emails, and I never heard back, so I never got my money back.

Did a mobile order at 9:45pm before leaving my house. Got there 10pm. Received the food at 10:45pm. 1h for a Big Mac and fries is craaazyyy. When I complained they said “that doesn’t change anything”. Shame on them for that kind of treatment. Their app should mention if they have too many orders going on and/or understaffed.

Updated review. Ordered a Large Fries received a medium. Chicken nuggets and fries were overcooked. Usually they are on there game first time it's been not so great. Man this place is gone downhill more every time ordered three chicken tender meals five piece with coleslaw and fries two of them are missing coleslaw one of them is missing fries I mean how hard is it to get an order correct. Who is managing these people! Y'all should be ashamed. Not to mention the same people want to get 15 to $20 an hour! Well things still continue to happen You order three meals You expect to get three drinks with it but somehow they figure well DoorDash so we can screw them over because that's the way it works. I don't know who the manager is still but they need to work on their damn people! Also ordered five piece tender meal and only got four tenders in each box.

The KFC in Saco gave my son gravy with no mashed potatoes 🥔!!!!!! He was doing me a favor and ordered the family meal. He paid, was handed the bag of food, and left without looking inside. I opened the bag when he got home and just couldn’t believe it! Who puts gravy in a bag with no mashed potatoes 🥔??? So, anyone know where my potatoes 🥔 are! 🤪 We used to frequent this location for probably as long as it has been open. However, it has been dirty and disheveled looking lately. And seriously……. No potatoes with the gravy? WTH did you expect me to do with the gravy??????

That’s what you get when you order a “Large” order of mashed for about $5. Are times really that hard to charge so much for a scoop of potatoes?

I never ever leave reviews- but myself running a local Dunkin Donuts I know what is right and what is wrong with fast food service and quality. My husband and I eat out oftenly- we don’t expect perfect but I am absolutely disgusted. We ordered multiple things- went through the drive though and whoever took our order on 5/24 around 11 PM was insanely disrespectful. My food was great but my boyfriend’s burger was ice cold and he wanted a replacement- we took it to the window to ask to be remade and they wanted us to prove it was cold…. We had to walk up to the window to finally get a refund after realizing the people that work here simply do not care. Never experienced anything like this.

We had to wait more than normal for a fast food restaurant, our food was not hot, the seasoned potatoes were almost cold.

This used to be our go to for last minute dinner on the way home from work. Ordered from the location many times but recently it’s been going downhill. Decided to order through DoorDash this time as I needed to get home quickly and take care of something that came up. They hadn’t even accepted the order until the first dasher showed up and was waiting. Second dasher was a champ but it was delivered long past the estimated time. Totally not the dasher’s fault. Both pizzas arrived burnt. My husband eats a lot of burnt things without complaint, but he couldn’t even stomach this. Waste of money.

Let me start by saying I've always enjoyed your deep dish pizza. The last two times I got it the pizza is lacking cheese and sauce and burnt. Really disappointing and will likely mean I do not order from you anymore. Workers inside seem, to me, like they don't give a crap and it shows in the quality of the food. Things need to change, as it is only getting worse. Not sure how you are still in business putting out this kind of quality. I've always said the its hard to screw up a pizza because I love it so much but you did it with this one. Very Disappointed!

This little Caesar’s is my favorite one to go to, the food is always top tier, compared to the other ones I go to. They add enough butter, sauce, cheese, it’s all perfect. I ordered a pepperoni and a pretzel crust, I got two pepperonis instead, I really like the cheese sauce on the pretzel crust so I asked if they could make a new one and they did, and let me keep the other one.

I had not been to this location before. Walked in with a smile on my face. There was one customer. I waited for probably a minute Plus for anyone to greet me at all. When I did step up to order my drink I asked the guy how she was doing this morning and she grunted at me. And then got my order wrong. When I asked if I could have the cream please she put it in a paper cup and handed it to me without saying anything. I imagine it was the manager that had the headset on? I couldn't get her attention at all. I stood at the counter trying to get someone's attention to get the cream for my coffee for more than a minute so I chatted with the one customer that was in there about the weather. That conversation with the one customer that was in there was the highlight of that experience. I'm not trying to get anybody in trouble for anything but that was really really disappointing and not even remotely what I'm accustomed to in the morning at a Dunkin' Donuts in my experience.

Very poor customer service and unsanitary procedure from one employee. After cashing out the previous person as we walked up (Greeted by a friendly subway employee making sandwiches) Cashier was watching her co-worker make a sandwich for one of my sons, not until someone stepped in line behind my other son did the cashier walk over and decided to help her co-worker as the line grew. Not only did the cashier not wash her hands but instead grabbed gloves to place on in which she could not find the opening so fumbled around touching the entire glove to make sandwiches but finally getting the gloves on she did not greet my son with a positive attitude - just with "And what are you getting". My son asked 12 inch meatball on wheat bread please? Now I do not normally do not visit this establishment as I was just on that side of town visiting someone after the holidays. Shocked I mentioned she did not wash her hands. The friendly employee that greeted us correctly offered to remake the sandwich which I agreed; however, her coworker who seemed like she severely dislike her job overheard and took offense to my comment with a huff and puff. The friendly employee begin to remake the order that was placed as the other unsanitary employee decided to take the next customer. Mind you again without washing your hands or changing her gloves. Obviously the next customer did not hear the comment I need and I was not going to make a scene so I quietly cashed out as the friendly subway employee apologize profusely. Regardless I will not be visiting this establishment again but please evaluate customer service & policies/procedures within your employees.

All the products the food and coffee are what you can expect from this level of restaurant. What makes the place shine is its people. Most were always smiling, happy to help, and very prompt. I know it's a fast place to get your coffee at, which is good for those who need it fast but for those who need to take a moment and sit down it's a great place as well. If it were only being compared to other Dunkin' Donuts businesses, I would give it a five.

Absolutely horrible service. No other word fits. Ordering through kiosk because of technical difficulties while three employees walking around playing grab ass. Customers were just a bother for them. Still in the parking lot and can hear the annoyance coming through the speaker because she has to actually work. All three employees should look for work outside the customer service industry. Never again

I stop here occasionally before work, but out of all the dunkin locations, I do have to say this location has the nicest and most friendly staff team. Thank you for your consistent positive morning vibes. It's a great way to start the day.

If I can only leave just a comment and not even a star I would! Just because a customer orders in a drive thru and in a hurry doesn’t mean they can’t take take advantage of that and just toss em a burnt food. They just don’t care if the order would just get wasted. I won’t even give my dog a burnt food. Disgusting. Could’ve at least told the customer “hey I burned the garlic toppings let me make you a new one” that would’ve been acceptable instead of letting the customer drive off with a burned food.

Love the staff and quality of the drinks they create. The bagels are store made and incredible. I definitely run on this Dunkin' ♥️
Erika W — Google review
The staff here weren't the friendliest Also,,,, It appears they gotta make 4oz of cream cheese last for 32,964 bagels. Maybe they believe nobody's going to unwrap their bagel at the window to see if they got just a near appropriate amount of cream cheese,, and like me,, was already out of the parking lot by the time I checked out my bagel 😞 Don't go to where people want to purposely mess with the public.

Just about the best DND I have ever been in. Went here as we haven’t had power for 2-3 days. No one in town has had any power for days. The drive through was wrapped around to Hannaford parking lot. About 7 people in line ahead of me. I got great service. Got my food in minutes and even got a smile from the lady working the counter. Give them a raise. They are working their tails off today!

Was told I could only order food if I did it through a mobile order. Very dismissive. All things considered, go elsewhere.

So I don't know what happened here this week, but- - -the food improved dramatically. I had pretty much given up on anything but the donuts and bagels. The sandwiches had -up til this week, a peculiar chemical taste to them and the hash browns did too, in addition to being kind of soggy. The past week or two I've ordered three times and have bee rewarded with breakfast sandwiches as good as home made, and hash browns that tasted like potatoes, and were crispy. Hope it keeps up.

Go to this Dunkin donuts every single day, never have issues, staff is usually 100% polite, even the younger kids I'd expect to be overwhelmed. Today I had the privilege of walking in for my pick up order (like I do every single day) I could immediately tell my order was made wrong as the coffee looked burnt and dark. (I ask for extra extra cream) I said I don't think this is right, when I was approached by a short heavier set girl who reluctantly was like I'll just remake it. Remakes the coffee shakes it hands it to me and makes the comment "looks the same to me." You have to b blind to think that and regardless if you work in customer service you fix the coffee with a smile and go on your day. The comment was distasteful and ignorant. I will be now ording my coffee in Portland everyday.

I stopped there recently to take advantage of their special on 3 bags of coffee. I will be honest, I was never a fan of DD's donuts at any. of their shops, nor do I often get coffee out but I do like their coffee and cannot pass up a deal. Antonio, who waited on me was one of, if not the nicest fast food cashiers that I have ever had the experience to me. He smiled, thanked me, was polite and seemed like he enjoyed his job. Good hire there,

Girls at the window were nice enough but my drink wasn’t the right color so I’m guessing they didn’t put enough syrup in it. It wouldn’t be a huge deal except it’s a $6 drink and it’s inconsistent almost every time. Is there not a formula for these?
