Reviews of Governor's Restaurant & Bakery (Restaurant)

Julie H Edwards

Service was fine. Apple cider Mimosa was ok! Haddock burger and onion rings were great, but the double meat lobster roll wasn't the greatest. Lobster meat was chewy almost with a rubbery texture! I'd suggest if anyone is looking for a great lobster roll to head down by the Ground Round on Odlin Rd and stop at the little side of the road take out. Not only are their lobster rolls to die for, but their fried clams were amazing. It's hard to find a good old deep fried clams, but the ones there are like the ones I remember from when I was a kid.

Stephanie Demers

Always great food. Our hostess, I dont know her name, (the pretty lady with the great nails) is always so sweet and accomadating. Deane, the cook went above and beyond to make us more maple glaze sauce for our chicken. Everyone is so nice.

S Lamson

The bakery portion of the restaurant had quite a few decadent pastries.. The actual restaurant had standard home style fare, with some local seafood. A handful of local brews.. Atmosphere was clean, but really dumpy.. Food was actually good.. Pricing was reasonable

Kandie Cleaves

Our server was absolutely amazing ! Not only was he, efficient, knowledgeable and engaging he also went above and beyond getting the cook to make me something that was no longer on the menu. ( biscuits and gravy). My eggs were made exactly as I asked. My husband had the Chicken Potpie and homemade chips and was very pleased. The 4 star rating is because the restaurant could be cleaner.

Marissa Lopez

One of the best places in Bangor to get dessert. The pumpkin cake was delicious and the bakery makes you salivate walking through the door.

Zach Williams

Great breakfast buffet Saturday and Sunday never enough French toast sticks

john marceline

Awesome food and service

Billy Vaux

Food is hit or miss. The staff is the same. There's this one dude who is creepy as all hell, gives off a weird vibe, and makes you want to leave. If you ever get this fella, you'll know. Overall, if you're looking for a generally decent breakfast buffet, this is a good place to go. But, some days, the buffet is below standard, so buyer beware. I'd say the rate for a bad experience is maybe 1 in every 10.

phil auerbach

Food was just passable. Some dishes were off and had to be sent back. Some dishes were served not fully cooked. This restaurant disappointed us. Not what we remembered in the past.

Dale Crawford

Comfort food at it's best.

Vincent sg

Carol Andrews

Awesome seafood and service

corey roberge

Eh. Not impressed. Not horrible but no where near good. A glorified dennys. I'd recommend going somewhere else. Maybe McDicks its just across the road....

Jason Miles

Great food and service

Brook Caron

I ate the breakfast buffet was sub-par cost me 13.XX... Do not recommend.

James McDonough

Food was fine, was understaffed which resulted in them being overstressed. They tried hard but management clearly hadn't planned for what should be an expected crowd right before a black bears hockey game.

Kelly E Andrews

Fun for the whole family

Don Hei

Good food, good value

Christina Brailey

Food and service was good

Vivian Axmacher

Good food for the price!

Chris Eugley

Great food and lots for young kids to do (train table, small Lego buckets, overhead train).

Stephanie Luke's Mom

Great food had the $5 Birthday hot chicken Sandwich special. Served in a blink of an eye. Thing is very poor planning barely 5:30 and they had run out. Many unhappy patrons left.

Wes Luther

Bugs in food....I walk into the restaurant around 720ish today sit down and got a glass of water. I was looking on the menu when the person next to me called over the waitress while I was looking at the menu. He showed her there was a bunch of bugs in his food. The waitress looked at the food and gave a grotesque look. After that I didn't order anything and walked out. Some how not only did the cook miss a bunch of bugs in someones food, but he prepared it. Then the waitress serves it to the customer and after the 2 people that it went through no one noticed bugs. Why the heck is bugs in your food. This is a extremely serious problem to not be taken lightly. I use to come here about 4 times a month. I am never stepping foot back in that restaurant. I hope the health dept has a field day with this. That's pretty gross guys...

James Woodman

Delicious food ,great service, clean better hurry and add. To your family favorites if you haven't tried this rest you're missing out. We ordered the Friday special fried haddock with fries and added a side salad

Dawson Otis

Prices getting high and selections are fewer

Richard Jones

Charlee Paul

Amazing food. Amazing service!

Jennylee Nichols

Very kid friendly, super nice and efficient waiter, food was good. My grandson loved the train on the wall.

Valarie stone

Lobster in roll was soaked in a heavy disgusting mayo ruined the lobster. Big bites of mayo on bread. The lobster looked old and stringy no big chunks. I think we smelled it one the way in was a very foul smell coming from the entrance. On the other hand fried clams were very good! Service was great!

Michael Bouley

Great local Maine tradition. Service and atmosphere is warm and friendly. Great value on a hearty menu. And VERY CLEAN.

Kekecoco Thibideau

Yummy food really fair pricing ..friendly to kids ...cute fish tank..

Steven Grim

Great haddock chowder and wife loves the lobster stew. Taking dessert back to the hotel with us. Enjoy watching the train travel around the restaurant.

Dan Caballes

Good food, good price.

Rick Simpson

This is one of those secret gems of a place! It was obvious that the food was very fresh and expertly prepared with love! Tender yet crisp hand cut fries, moist, golden brown fried shrimp. I am pickey, yet I tipped the server AND the cook! Excellent food in every way!

Marcia Long

Food portions are too small. Food was overcooked. Waitress kept forgetting us & items we asked for.

Michele McLaughlin

Food is good, reasonably priced, and a wide selection. A great place to bring the family to. Be sure to check out their desserts!

Robert Greenlaw

I love this place! Good food, good prices, great service!

Victor Plays

I loved this place i have gone there since i can remember i love the staff and everything

Thomas Coburn

One of our favorite places to visit when we come home. The food is reasonably priced and the portions are big. My favorite part about this restaurant is that you can get breakfast all day. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. They always turn the train on for the kids.

Roland Leblond

We had 12 people and everything was hot and great

Margo Whitney

Jaden Roberts

Cakes, Pies, All u can eat Buffet, Order from Menu

Bud Grantham

Good food, good service and good atmosphere

John Lovell

Over priced and quite surprised at the abnormal small portion of the meal I ordered especially when it was a seafood platter. I won't go there again.

Be Ly

Friendly and attentive staff, many items on their menu to choose from, lobster stew had big chunks of lobster in it, kettle chips were great, and desert sizes are amazing! Overall a great experience! Will need to come back.

Courtney Arthur

Great service and great portions for the prices! Went there with family and had the banana split and it was so big I could barely finish it. Another family member had a slice of cake and it was huge. Definitely would recommend going here!

Donna Hayes

Friendly service, good eats. The grandkids like it there

Walter Kalka

Good selection & price

Josh Curtis

Excellent food and service, great comfort food

jeff chipman

Good comfort food

Rick

FISHERMAN'S PLATTER HAS decent amount of seafood although it was piled onto VERY COLD FRENCH FRIES. DINNER ROLLS WERE VERY GOOD. HOMEMADE POTATO CHIPS WERE EXCELLENT. DINNING ROOM HAS VERY OLD CARPET WITH A TERRIBLE FUNKY ODOR. Very nice new vinyl flooring in entrance / bakery area. TIME TO CHANGE OUT THAT SMELLY CARPET. SMELL RUINED WHOLE EXPERIENCE SO WE WON'T BE BACK. STAFF WAS FRIENDLY AND EFFICIENT.

rob bean

Good food and people

Ray Turcotte

Great hostess! Good breakfast.

Michele Laird

Worst buffet ever it was cold not much of selection very expensive for nothing to eat had to wait n it seemed like forever for something to come out very busy morning when they should be prepared for days like this. Won't be going back

Zack L

Food is at great price, it's easy to eat here for less than $15 per person, however the quality isn't always there. In my experience, every third or fourth time I eat here, I don't enjoy the meal. I originally was going to give Governor's 3-stars, however, their desserts are their saving grace. All of their cakes, pies, and other sweets are wonderful, and I can confidently say I've never had a bad dessert here.

Ethan Blodgett

The atmosphere of Governors is that it's always a fun time. I went on a Friday morning, having a great host and good coffee. The only thing that went slightly wrong was an entire onion cut into two halves was in my omelet. Wasnt diced or sliced up into bite sized pieces, but two halves of an onion. This was the first time that this has happened so it was a first for me. I managed to half of one of the halves in one bit....that definitely surprised me. All in all, from previous experiences this Governors will never fail you. But if it's on a busy day, they may forget a few things....

Lindsay Higgins

Governor's is awesome! My FAVORITE is the weekend breakfast buffet. Great selection of food and everything is yummy!! Seriously, there is something there for everyone, even the pickiest eaters!! Check it out!!

Abigail West

We had a birthday dinner there in their group area. Friday night, we were a group of 15+. The food was good as always and the waitress was doing as good of a job as she could have. I think for a group this size they probably should've had two waiters though. Probably won't use govenors for their large group space again, but we'll be back as a regular dining group for sure.

Weldon Young

WE love the goveror's

katie parady

We love their Monday burger special! Cheaper than fast food, and you cannot begin compare the quality of the food.

Justin Morgan

Server was great. Food came out cold. And nothing like the picture.

Holly Jandreau

Clean fast friendly service! Food cooked to order.

Mary Sirois

Great food and wonderful staff.

Justin Faloon

Not what it once was. Used to be good portions, good food at a fair price. Now it's fair food, average portions for more money. You can always tell when someone new took over. Nothing special, average place.

Alton Gray

Good food good Bakery Pleasant atmosphere

Janet Lavoie

Leah was the best waitress! Food yummy.

Jami Wentworth

Friendly service, lunch was pretty pricey but food was good

Aaron Smith

First time I tried a lobster roll and it was fantastic.

Steve Patterson

Decent food. Great service.

Laurie Poor

Customer service was great but the food was very sub-par. The coffee was hot and they kept our cups full.

Justin Iotte

Great food. Awesome customer service. Very nice people.

Debbie Stebbins

Very good food. Had the fish chowder and sandwich it was superb!

Jamie Barker

Expensive for two adults and two children. The food was okay I definitely had better.

Andrew Reinzo

The breakfast buffet is fresh and plentiful. At $11 it well worth the price.

Andrew Roscoe

Quantity is awesome food was cold this was not the first time like this. Family atmosphere is excellent

Jacque Rump

A great place for good comfort food with a nice variety of choices. Desserts are wonderful!

Wayne Lake

Had the Ruben sandwich. Could have shared it since it was too big so took half home. Also took the Whoopy pie for dessert. Very nice restaurant with a nice atmosphere. They have a bakery as well.

Kathy & Gary Falske

Had mixed feelings about the restaurant. The meals themselves were good. However our waitress was not trained all that well. Did not bring us sour cream and butter for our baked potato, had to ask, not that bad. Then ordered gingerbread cake for dessert. Was to come warmed w/whipped cream. We got neither.

Gone Tacos YT

I don't like the eggs I found hair in my eggs....eww but I love the strawberries

Lee Evelyn Dawes

It was ok but not really worth the money. To pay what you do for the sea food and get crinkle cut Fry's from a bag that are still cold in the center not really cool. Same with mashed potatoes they were clearly reheated in a microwave. Staff was great but not great enough I'll go back anytime soon

Pam Lounsbury

Egg's Benedict is BAD not using Canadian bacon. Using salty ham instead. That's not what the menu said. I don't remendy anyone having it.

Rachel Hamm

Always great! We love our local Gov'nah's

Donna J

Good food friendly staff clean restrooms recommend!

ShadowOfLabel

Governor's was always a place for my Pepe to walk to from the Bangor Gardens once a month or per week before he died to share joy and happiness and ale with his best friends before he died and my Meme. I was 14 and everytime I go to Governor's now, I always remember my Pepe and Meme. My Pepe has serious bodily injuries was working in a factory and serving our country and was a great man raising kids that weren't his own, adopting them and then leaving everything to them. He was a true French Catholic Man for the Paradis family of Old Town to be proud of and every Knight of Columbus should kneel at his grave for his sacrifices. I always envied his excitement to get away to Governor's. I was very young and always begged to go or to ask if my Pepe would bring me something back from Governor's or Baldacci's at the time or even that building in front of Baldaccis to get me a movie. I love my Pepe, and I love Governor's Restaurant for being there for the little people back in the day to give them the excitement to go somewhere outside of home like us younger people do for video games. Thank you Governor's for bringing happiness to my Pepe.

Bryan Tompkins

Decent food at great prices

Vernon Dyer

I really like this restaurant. Food is good and the staff is very helpful. And the service is great.

Bonnie Wormwood

Awesome breakfast

Dianne Farrington

The food was excellent. Had a breakfast mix. Service was quick, pancakes were fluffy, toast was crisp and dry so I could add to my preference. Bacon was crispy perfection and service was fast and friendly.

Pamela Price Wharff

This is an excellent restaurant that offers a wide array of options, to include breakfast all day. Pricing is very reasonable and the atmosphere is fun...kids will be happy here....a model train runs around the perimeter of the dining space and tere is also a fish tank to check out.

Avery Lolar

What a tasty place

Susan Gibbs

I love this place. Food is great and awesome service.

Jessica Barry

Food is good and hot. I worry about the cleanliness overall mostly due to there carpeting. People are friendly. Prices are reasonable.

Matt Porter

Ate here a lot when I went to Husson. Not much has changed. Service is good, the food is delicious and plenty of desserts to chose from.

michael Savarese

Good comfort food that is reasonably priced.

Dawn Bennett

Very good food and prices every thing is always good no matter what you get and you are always treated with respect.

Bruce Williams

One of my party's meal was dried out turkey and cold. The waitress readily agreed and had it replaced The waitress was very good. The decor looked old and tired The food was so so.

Tori Burrill

Whoopie pie feastavel was awesome

b061253 gmail

Lunch special for their June birthday/anniversary featured perfectly fried scallops with crispy crinklecut fries at a very reasonable price for seafood. Portions are modest yet sufficient. As a late lunch, the crowd had thinned.

Reda Edelman

Great food and price

James Nydegger

Good food for a fair price, friendly staff. There specials are the best!

Marek Casimir

Always a family favorite, great portions, good atmosphere wheelchair accessible building, clean bathrooms

Chip Moors

Christine and Haley are incredible waitresses at Governor's Restaurant! Governors appear to be clean, the staff was very polite, and the food was good. The train track that goes around the top of the restaurant is always treat to see!

Julie Rancourt

I will not return to this restaurant!! The food is over priced, small portions and the waitress was rude. I paid 8.50 for a lg ceaser salad with cardboard croutons. It was more like a side salad! Unreal I also ordered at LG. Chicken fingers meal with fries and coleslaw for 12.50. The fries are offal the chicken fingers were cold and taste as if they were cooked hours ago and the coleslaw never came to my table. The soda was flat!! The roll was chewy and overcooked!! I WILL NEVER GO TO THIS RESTAURANT AGAIN you couldn't pay me to eat at that place again...

Stephen Smith

Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Had a very new waitress =/. Maybe I should have ordered what others recommended (seafood), but unfortunately ordered a salad. The veggies were underwhelming and it was and iceberg/romaine mix, would have loved to have some mixed greens.

Jenny MacArthur

The food is decent, the service is more than adequate, the portions are very generous and the prices are reasonable..

Kevin Flannery

Good family fare. Great service!

Gina Osnoe

Took 45 mins to get 2 orders of sliders and onion rings and there wasn't hardly anyone in the place REALLY DISAPPOINTING. GONE DOWN HILL.

Rebecca Jean

Wonderful food, wonderful service, overall great! :)

Tony Allen

Good food and service

Davey W

Grate service, and very good food,at a reasonable price. I'd recommend it to anyone. Save room for dessert.

Doug True

Very new place. Large portions. Happy environment

Hilary Blue

Ham club was delicious!

Stanley Mitchell

I've been to governors quite a few times since I was a kid. This last time was probably enough to kill the nostalgia of going. I ordered fried chicken each piece was barely more then fried chicken skin. The wait staff was unfriendly, and the noise from the aircondtioner or hood vent in the area they seated us in was deafening.

Joshua Cloutier

Gone there a while and it's good service and food

Patrick Carrigan

Incredible burger. Great service.

Dan Beaudoin

Food very good, service was quick & staff very friendly. Worth the stop

Aaron Baker

I used to come here as a kid all the time,and I loved it. Went for breakfast this morning, thank God for unlimited refills on coffee since your pancakes aren't fluffy at all and they're dry as a bone. Gave it another try for dinner and stopped in with my parents before going to a movie. Waited 40 minutes for your Haddock sandwich special tonight. The waitress checked back at 20 minutes and assured us that our food would come out hot..... Okay... That should be a given. After waiting a total of 40 minutes we got up and told the Assistant manager to cancel our order and that I would still pay for the drinks. She apologized and told us not to worry about it. It's sad, they were fairly busy but it should never take 40+ minutes to slap a piece of fried haddock on a bun.

Jeff Chetkauskas

Governor's is the ideal Maine local chain for comfort food. I'd be lying if I said it was about the dinners. Governor's is all about the desserts. Large pieces of cake, pie, brownies, and many other baked goods.

Ian Maines

Great food, very much a Maine restaurant.

Kayla Abbott

The food was definitely good but the waitress made me feel rushed. She set the check down and not even 30 seconds after she came back asking if I was ready to pay. I don't like feeling rushed when I go out to eat

JESSA KEENE

Previously I posted it needed improvements but my daughters go to Sunday breakfast. It has vastly improved since my last post 6 months ago. Service & upkeep standards. Customers satisfaction.

Xr Honda

This restaurant used to be one of the best places to go to get a very large portion for a very fair price. It seems now that the price has gone up and the food portion has gone down. The food is still good but the quality seems to have gone down hill a little bit over the years. Still a very nice casual restaurant and they do a lot to give back to the community they are apart of.

Cindy McCaffery

Okay. I think the one in Waterville is much better & worth the extra drive.

Dave Roderick

You can never go wrong with Governor's

Donnie Sawyer

Very pricey, but good food!

Mara Cerqueira

Good for let get something to eat place

Brenda Thompson

I had haddock sandwich. It was pretty good. Others in my party had the Reuben ,and the turkey dinner.We all like the meals. Seems to me,the dinning area needs a update tho.

Megan Whitten

The maple chicken poutine was AMAZING. The staff was AMAZING. Keep it up Governors!!

Whitney Hogan

Always have a great meal when eating here. The staff is always friendly and the prices are great. Would recommend eating here any time of the day because all their food is good!

Eric Bowman

Really good food and really friendly staff. Portions are enormous but, likewise, a little pricier than what you'd expect

Debra Buck

Great food and reasonable prices.

Darlene Cripps

Best lobster rolls

Isaiah Dodge

Not the best, but still good comfort food and a cozy atmosphere

Chucky

I love the breakfast

T Hamel

Great yeast rolls as always!

Ashleigh Czarny

Good food. Huge portions. There is always a nightly special. They have a good selection on the breakfast buffet every weekend. They regularly have special events that happen. They also do a special buffet for holidays like Easter, mother's day, Thanksgiving. The desserts are great and are also huge.

Candace Gilpatric

Try their maple chicken poutine. It is out of this world good.

Sean Gallagher

While reasonably priced, their food is of average quality. The portions are always plenty large. I had a slice of blueberry pie that wasn't very good - the pie was very cold and the crust was ridiculously thick. Stop for a meal but give the blueberry pie a pass.

Mr. Waffles

Decent food fair prices good service..

Judith Coburn-Harris

New menu additions and super wait staff.

Danny Alexander

Very good meal! We had to take desserts home!

Michelle Warhola

I've been going to Governor's for decades. Great food. Friendly and efficient staff.

Ann Keezer

Took 1-1/2 hours to get out meal that I ordered take out. Very stressful. Manager didn't charge and have free desert. Got home after 2 hours and stuff missing. Also applesauce that was out side dish was burnt so bad if both had to be thrown away. I was going to bring it in but not sure I want to return again.

Allen Daigle

Old style place with good food

Christopher McIntire

The food was good - not great, but good and good value.

Judith Smith-Valley

Tasty salad and gingerbread for later at home. Good service.

Abigail Gurney

Great food

Jennifer Place

Food was good. Service was great. Wide variety of options. Large portions.

kevin wulff

Buffet well worth it, FRESH food continuously brought out. Everything looks to be home made.

Paul Fowler

Awesome food! Gotta try the mozerrella sticks, strawberry lemonade and then a meal of fitting. Then just as your ready to leave grab an awesome desert to go. Ther girls there are always pleasant!

Theodore Harris

Great food great service

Herb Karkheck

Nice location. Friendly staff. Rubbery lobster.

It's a very nice place to go to with family and friends. The service was excellent.

Sherry Veino

Great place, clean, friendly, great food, great specials, awsome sweets

Deb Benning

Plenty of food at reasonable prices. The service is always excellent. A hearty breakfast of Eggs Benedict is a great way to start the day!

Ann Beland

Always great service. The only complaint was the broccoli was mushy.

tricia martin ignaffo

Group order and food was all set for our hungry mouths. Excellent deserts

Ashley Stribling

Excellent customer service and food

Wes Wilcox

It was great as always

Lori Stark

The food is great and governors and the staff is very pleasant and service is always very good.

Heather Walz

Great food and the staff are always friendly. It was always a favorite of my childhood. I moved to Seattle a few years ago and I still crave the Lobster roll. However, I recently visited the restaurant on a visit home and was bitterly disappointed to find all the portraits of the Governor's removed! I have always been a bit of a history buff and even as a kid looking at the portraits was something I loved. I totally understand wanting to keep the company updated, fresh, and relevant, but it seems too much of a change to completely remove all the Governors! In my honest opinion, the company can find ways to update without changing entirely. Update and refresh, but don't abandon Maine Governors.

Allan Martin

Very delicious foods like its all homemade

Charles Khoury

Excellent home made cook food & desserts & dinner rolls cooked on location!!!! Yum!!!!

Brenda Lingley

Mother's Day buffet was excellent....prime rib was perfect...very happy

Howard Parham

Very friendly great food

Bradley DeCesere

This place is trash. Bread and rolls are cooked in Braintree, Massachusettes, not in house as is falsely advertised... Dirty establishment. Owner spends 0 money on sanitation, takes vacations instead. Prices for pre-portioned microwaved food are unrealistic, and mangement is too busy smoking weed with staff out back to care about your concerns. Dont reccomend this place. Dysarts (either location) is much better, homemade, and the money goes back to the people who worked for it, not to the pockets of the owner.

mic pelkey

Excellent food and price. I've never left dissatisfied.

Bridget Buckley

Delicious food. Excellent service. I hope to visit again soon.

Jason Millette

Food is excellent, warm, tasty, good portions, etc. The deserts and baked goods are to die for!! Atmosphere is family oriented and comfortable.

William Deschenes

Good food but slow service but worth 3 stars

James HUNTER

Good food at fair prices.

Dylan Merchant

Like any Governors restaurant. The food is average and priced a little high for what it is. There is usually great service though. And their baked goods are amazing.

Jake Sension

It's not what it used to be. These days that just seem to be phoning it in and when your making the kind of fried generic food they serve, you have to be at the top of your game or there are a dozen other places nearby doing it better.

Lee Doody

Clean, waitress very nice and prompt.clean bathroom. Potato tot dish was so good. Meatball grinder was so good. Thank you for filling our bellys for the rest of our drive north.

Ruth Clarke

Monday burgers deal is excellent.

Kyle Farmer

Great experience fast service and great food had the buffet great deal for only like 10 something would differently recommend

Bonnie Downs

I got sick from the food at the buffet. I will never go again.

Charbeth Tiller-Eastman

Very clean, comfortable atmosphere with prompt courteous staff

GariconXYZ

Great staff all around. Good service, good food, good atmosphere.

Christopher Glick

Was driving around with the wife learning our new town and came across Governor's - and very thankful we did! This is like a Denny's, in that it's a greasy spoon type menu, but with the quality and service of a mom and pop shop. Plis, they have a bakery! Overall, very impressed and will return.

Larry ME

Went for breakfast and it was terrible. Burnt eggs, old bacon and messed up orders. Gave it two stars because the coffee and orange juice was fine.

Rob Pothier

Great service, homemade food.

Beth Gerth

Bangor one was disappointing. Ridiculously slow service since they weren't busy. Server kept waking by; seemed like she was ignoring us. Food order was wrong. Old Town one is much better.

tori Hallett

I love this place. I've been going there since I was little. They're very friendly and make you feel at home. You always get plenty. They're so helpful and very observant towards drinks. It's such a classic place.

David Emerson

Excellent service didn't even get to finish roll and haddac dinner was served. That's fast

Dustin Klich

Great food!

eva milliken

The food and prices here were amazing. Best place to eat in the area.

Edmond Turmenne

We went for June specials night.. had claims meal.... was delicious.

Mike Spencer

I had a great experience! Took advantage of the lobster roll special... Bought two and some fries. Fifteen bucks! Long line but it went pretty darn fast. Hope they do this again soon!

Brian Moreno

Excellent food, great service and fair price.

Cynthia Winslow

It was awesome as always.Patrick gave us "the best possible" service...he always does and thats why we ASK for him personally.The haddock special was great!

Paul Worsaa

Governors has been a Bangor staple for years.. the food is good the staff is good and a couple of the waitresses are wonderful... I'll be in there again..

lewiston maineiac

It's like home. Enjoy the chowder and fried fish. The manager is a sweetheart. Always treated well

Alton Herbest Jr

Great food and reasonable pricing. Friendly staff brings us back often.

Chris P

Got a large clam basket and a large scallop basket today. Very satisfied with everything. The portions were large and everything was super fresh tasting. Cole slaw was perfect. Rice was eh ok. The giant creampuff was a great finish to the meal. Great eats and their breakfast is awesome too. Had breakfast there last week while waiting for an oil change at VIP next door.

Shannon Barg

They were very nice with our large indecisive group. The menu is comfort food with some local favorites and a couple good salads. The desserts are a highlight for our family. I recommend coming just got dessert a separate time because you probably won't have room after a heavy dinner.

HydesGoSeek _

Fair prices and good home style food. I had an open faced turkey sandwich with gravy and it was everything I needed for lunch-could’ve been dinner-good portions. Wish we would’ve save room for dessert the cabinets were full of delicious looking cakes, pies and whoopie pies.

Tammy Watters

“ I ordered cheesy bites and waited 20 minutes to hear that they dropped them on the ground but I got them cause I waited 30 minutes”

Ann Baysdon

Governor's need to update their website. We went on Tuesday for the fried clams. There was 7 in our party and, being out of state Governor's was recommended for clams. Clams are no longer the special on Tuesday, instead it was fish chowder! The manager explained the high price of clams was the reason they were not offered. I think he missed my point completely what the website said,he served us some complimentary onion rings. We ordered the lobster roll and some ordered the chowder. The lobster roll was dry and very skimpy, had a lot of lettuce for filler. We finished our lobster before the others got their chowder, after they had to ask for it! Had to ask for drink refills. If it hadn't been for some having to catch a plane we would NOT have ordered and walked out. What a disappointment. Btw clams still on the website. Step it up Governor's.

I ordered the Buffalo boneless wings, a burger with fries, and a milkshake and was thoroughly satisfied with the service and food, the only complaint I have is the burger slightly dry, otherwise they nailed it.

Dawnise Kennedy

Priced right, food is pretty good for a family resterant

Zohaib Ghatala

This is a nice family restuarant. Had lunch here on our way to bar harbor. Their maple chicken and sweet potato poutine is a must try. The beef patties in the burger were a little dry. Grilled chicken and rice was delicious. They had a huge selection of desert. We didnt try it as we were stuffed from the large portions of the main course but the desert pics looked mouth watering. This place is very kid friendly. They have a toy train running all around the restaurant.

Brian Trauger

We always like going to the governor's. Great food great prices. We'll continue to go many more times.

Beth Davidson

Excellent food and service. I wish it was a little larger. But they do well with the space they have.

Myra Jewers

Absolutely awesome!

Artie Bartlett

Always great food and prices.

Linda Linda Martin Leighton

I love this place....awesome lobster rolls, fried clams, coleslaw and fries....sadly I only look at the desserts...but they look scrumptious....

John Sheets

Okay. I got the lobster roll. It was about 19 dollars and wasn't anything to write home about. Wasn't bad, just wasn't great.

Steve and Sonia Bennett

Service was good, the food was great, served in timely manner. Money to portion size very economical and would come back again.

Victor Hernandez

Good food and atmosphere

Pastor Eric J. Anderson

Great Haddock Chowder

Controversial Tea

The food isn’t all that good. The fries and chicken are dry and poutine is basically just gravy and it smells disgusting.

Paula Dowling

Fried clams were overcooked but still good. Price was great

M J

Always great. Home cooked food for a decent price.

Jeff .Grinnell

Came in from my daughter's state meet 10 minutes before closing. We apologised for being so late. We were treated like it was 6 pm . Our server Alex was the sweetest young lady and absolutely didn't rush us at all. See this has become a tradition for us after the last state meet...a trip to Governor's for dinner and pie before the long trip home...Thank You for helping keep this 11 year tradition alive...

thomas kelsey

Love Saturday buffet, Everyone gets just what they want. Awesome for kids, and every age.

Christine Anzalone

Great food as always. Had to wait too long to check out though.

Lisa Chase-Raymond

Bangor location was friendly quick and good as usual

David Place

The service was extremely slow it took an hour to be waited on and an hour to get food and it wasn't that busy then my wife and daughter ordered a salad and the they didn't have the ingredients to make it with when we finally got our good it tasted good but the rest needs a huge improvement food 5 stars service 2 thus the 3 star rating

Melissa Scamman

Great, fast service! Great food!

Penny Holmes

The food was great,waitress was awesome

Lori Field

Love the buffet and Chad the cook is awsome!!

Dora Kelly

Great food. Good prices.

Rhonda Reed

Great price on Monday special and nice service.

Tenma Spencer

Friendly, comfortable family environment. Good prices. The blandness and averageness of the food drives me away, though. To be honest, the breakfast food is good and the desserts and baked goods are great. The men's bathroom is spotlessly clean. The quality of the food is the main sore point. I just think Governor's is a little overrated given the average taste of the food.

Vanessa Rhodes

Good food, great service.

Peggy May

They have the best desserts. As they say stressed spelled backwards is desserts. Eat up cause they are the best!

bruce tilton

Restaraunt is starting to feel a little run down. But service and food was good.

Calvin Smith

Super friendly service. It's a scene.

Brenda Strout

My husband and I recently dined a Governor's on Broadway in Bangor for breakfast. I have to be honest. The sausge links I had could have used a bit more time on the grill and the quality and taste was just nasty. Also, had very litte home fries on my plate and had to ask for more! In addition, we ordered coffee milkshakes that were less than desirable. I thought coffee milkshakes were made from coffee ice cream. The coffee flavor in the shakes was minimal at best. Sent them back twice and had them removed from the bill. Also, had very litte home fries on my plate and had to ask for more! Thank You for that, at least. We were both very disappointed and agreed that we will not e returning.

Katherine Duchette

Great for a quick stop to fill an empty belly but don't expect much. Most menu items are from frozen, boxed, and canned goods; there are a few items made from scratch. All bakery goods are from scratch and makes your mouth water because they look so good! But buyer beware, my experience was dry carrot cake and gingerbread that was as hard as a brick.

B Scott

Chicken pot pie is delicious! The servings here are huge. You won't leave hungry

Ralph Lichtenberg

Haven't been to Governor's restaurant in a while because I think their prices have gone up, serving sizes have gone down, and quality isn't any better than I remember from year's ago when I was happy to take my family and get a decent meal for a good price. Decided to go again because the Orono location was convenient for a small family gathering. While prices and portion sizes are still a bit out of balance, the that both my wife and I had, a haddock special, was surprisingly good. Still not my first choice of restaurants but, based on this visit, I'll consider it again when I'm in the area.

Charles West

Good food, good people

Randy Walker

Out of all the Governors restaurants - this is the one with the best breakfasts.

Bob Pomelow

Always a great choice for any meal. Good food, great service and price. Well worth the visit.

Walter Jones

Great food, wonderful desserts and fresh baked goods. A Maine landmark, their mountain of meatloaf is magnificent. Great burgers and a amazing breakfast.

Jessica Whitney

Waitress wasnt real attentive, but food was good

Norman Long

Normally a great place but understaffed for mother's Day. Will still go back, possibly just a bad day!

Carl Hoffmann

Turkey and trimmings were fantastic

Caitlyn Arellano

Vicki was our server and she was excellent! We loved the food and got a slice of pie to go too. Everything was great! Hash smash and the capital breakfast were so delicious.

George Kleczka

Awesome comfort food at a great price!

Joanne A

Just got back from a less-than-stellar experience at Governor’s Restaurant on Broadway, Bangor, Maine. The haddock sandwich I ordered tasted like it had been cooked over a trash fire (it looked like it had been sitting around and been reheated). The sweet potatoes fries I paid an extra $1.50 for were burned and tasted burned - just like the fish. They took it back and brought the same meal but prepared in such a way that it was edible. Ordered an eclair at the price of $4.99 - I could only eat the lemon filling - the chocolate was semi-hard and the pastry was granular. It didn’t look like the eclairs I saw when I first entered the restaurant. In talking with the 2 folks at the bakery area, we finally decided that the $4.99 eclair was in the kitchen and was likely stale. They offered a gift certificate - no thank you, I won’t be coming back to this restaurant.....EVER! Positive note: the waitperson was wonderful and the 2 folks at the bakery section apologized multiple times and tried to make it right (it would have been better if they had taken the cost of that horrible eclair off my bill - paid $4.99 for 2-3 tablespoons of lemon filling - aren’t I brilliant?)

David Quimby

Great food even better service at a fair price.

Pattie MacLean

Its a good place to get food

C Genthner

I love their food! Great taste and big portions!

Linda O'Clair

For medioca food, the prices are ridiculous. I will think again next time about going again.

Kenn Miller

Love Governor's, never disappoints.

Clarence Colbath

Great Service & Great Food !!!

Bronsen Hartley

Sunday morning buffet is always delicious! The apple cobbler hits the spot!

Allen Avery

I've been going here for 20+ years. The food is usually very good but sometimes it's a miss. Over the past couple years the service has slowed down. Even when they are not busy it seems to take forever to get your meals and even longer to get the check. With that being said the waiting staff is always very pleasant and their lobster rolls are always delicious.

MainelySyl

Food is always good. I was a bit surprised that my slice of pie was so small as other Governor’s they are huge even for take out. Wait staff very helpful when we came in with a large group. Bathrooms clean. Plenty of parking.

Marta Gaines

It should not take a half hour to get your salad.

Shaelynne Drew-Burns

One of my favorite places to take the family out to!

Linda B Thomas

Very tasty lunch - wish I lived closer so we could go there more often!

ROBIN Humphreys

Great local comfort food! Bakery goods were really fresh and good.

Jessica Banks

Absolutley LOVE that my kids eat for $1.00 on Thursday. I am a single mother and this is a nice treat for us sometimes.

Shannon Johnson

I absolutely love their food! I've tried almost everything on the menu. I especially love their desserts and their pies! Their peanuts butter pie is so delicious:)

Charity Cameron

Good food

Michael Jones

Really out of way but only a mile off 95. Best lobster roll I ever had. Lobster stew also really good

Chris Champagne

We stopped in for dessert.the ice cream was amazing and the portions are huge. I got a large and it was almost too much for me to finish. Luckily I found the room to finish it up. I would definitely stop back when I am in the area.

Tiffany Xiong

Amazing food! We stopped by on a whim and was not disappointed by any means. The food was great, came to the table piping hot and in good portions! We should have taken dessert home! Guess we'll have to stop back out soon!

Tina Maynard

My heaven's this place is great! Food was fresh and delicious! Our server was perfect! Definitely stop here for some delicious food!

William Martin

Wonderful restaurant. We have been fans for years. They never fail to impress. The food is delicious and they have an outstanding dessert selection.

Karen Mathieu

I have only tried their new salads, but have found them to be appealing to the eye, and tastey. I appreciate that they offer a gluten-free choice.

Ryan Allen

Great food and prices, friendly staff, family friendly.

Randy Field

Good food good price

Kevin Clark

i must admit, i am VERY BIASED here. i grew up from 10 to 18 years old not even a 2 minute walk from this restaurant. i am now 53 , so i started going here approximately 45 years ago ( this restaurant, the original, is 60 years old this year, 2019) . it has the classic, stick to your ribs, homestyle cooking. PLUS....... fresh made pies, cakes, pastries. super friendly staff. my friends and i are in a rock band, and we look it... long hair, tons of tattoos, leather jackets, all of it. they treated us great. our waitress was on point. perfect service. the orders were correct and cooked exactly right. enjoy if you are ever in Old Town. or, like me when i lived there, had it in regular rotation.

Colleen Emmons

Always great food and great service!

Hill Billy

Good food best peanut butter chocolate pie I've ever had in my life

paul bamford

Good breakfast buffet and nice wait staff.

J Kersey

Food was great and the service was amazing!!

Holly Fields

Average food, typical diner food, with a bakery. Everything looks good, but is not noteworthy except for the tasty hash browns.

KenAndRonna Mason

Good food and good prices. You will NOT go away hungry!

Ly He

Going here is a family tradition and not to be overlooked. Food is great and desserts are phenomenal.

jay dawge

Food was good.

Cocaine Slushy

It was good, but the wings were so small compared to their giant desserts

syn edgē

The Original and the Best. We go here whenever we are in the Old Town area. When I went to school at UMO and lived down the street, Governor's was the place for breakfast and lunch, a true Maine iconic eatery. Working on a full review.

Amanda Sapuan

I was very impressed with this restaurant! We went in on a Friday night with my two toddlers, there were several parties in front of us but we decided to wait anyway due to being unfamiliar with the area and not wanting to wind up someplace else where we would wait longer. Within about 10 minutes we were approached to be seated and then we just asked if we would like to sit near the back where there's a train table the kids could play at, so we said sure. They gave the kids some crayons and coloring sheets, and we placed our or but the boys loved looking atders. There's also a saltwater fish tank that the boys enjoyed watching, and staff was very friendly to them and did whatever they could to accommodate them being comfortable during our meal. We spent around $50 for an appetizer for meals and for drinks so I was very impressed with the quality and amount of food we bought for what we paid for it. there was a mistake on my order management offered to take it off the bill completely and I said it wasn't necessary, they had immediately fix the order upon realizing it was wrong and I was more than happy with that. What stuck out to me most was a child about 10 who is sitting in the back doing homework, after a few minutes I realized it was one of the waitresses son, he told my son his babysitter didn't show up so he had to come with Mom. She served him dinner and was helping his homework in between waiting on her tables, which made most of my fiance and I extremely impressed with not only her but the management as well for letting that happen. As a parent I will spend my money at a family-orientated business every single time proudly! We've been back at least once a month sense and will continue doing so I definitely recommend this place to anybody on a budget with small kids and who wants a good plate of home cooked food. Governor's for the win!

that dude gamer

great tasting food and friendly staff would go there everyday if i could

T McD

Every time my family and I eat here, we leave stuffed and satisfied. We usually try to pick up either a whole pie or something from the bakery. You can't go wrong with either choice. The service is always good, the food is outstanding and the portions are more often than not very generous. I think I have only once had a meal where the plate was not completely covered by food. No matter which one of their locations you choose, if you are honest with yourself, the experience will keep you coming back. Anyone who says different made it hard on themselves! Give them a try, especially if you like a breakfast buffet (weekends only).

Keith Brady

The food is so good, very nice people who work there, a place where you can bring family together and enjoy the food...

Felicia Botting-Day

Had a wonderful lunch everything was great and the server Holly was attentive a quick. Great food, and prompt service always. We will definitely be coming back, the Old Town location, seems better than the one in Bangor too...

Philip Mason

I haven't been there yet to eat

Kristy Eubanks

A must go-to when in Maine. Food is delicious

Lynne Gamperle

My partner had a hair cooked in his eggs he was given a 2ond plate But the sausage was cold transferred from his original plate. His comment on the way home "now i know why i never want to eat st Governors" he was unhappy.

Elliott Sanders

The lady who was training was unfortunately clueless. She forgot a few things but we got it all sorted out. I really enjoyed the food and the breakfast burger does not have a beef patty, at least mine didn't. I got my food to go and it was a bit of a wait but it tasted great. I recommend the biscuit.

Brenda Radley

Awesome food and atmosphere

Kyyote

Great wait staff, good food. Easy atmosphere.

archie curry

Usually a great place to eat, not so much tonight. They were out of ham, so no ham dinner and the only vegetable available for the Turkey dinner was broccoli which was totally disgusting, looked and tasted like it was a month old. Also tried something different, a new item on the menu. The new sandwich was very, very dry and the kettle chips were soaking wet. Very disappointed in Governor's tonight.

Lori Hunt

Wonderful meal and great price! Chris, the waiter, was attentive and polite. Very pleased with service, food, and value.

Melanie Kollman

Great fried seafood and homemade desserts

William Palmer

We were excited to arrive and I decide to go with Monday's cheeseburger special. The waiter did not appear friendly could care less apparently. The burger after one bite was terrible. My girlfriend advised me to send it back. Waiter offered no apology and because of his demeanor I declined to order anything else. In fear he may or already had spit in my food. Terrible experience they should fire that waiter who obviously could care less. Hope you have better luck then I did horrible memory. I'll never eat here again. Doesn't even deserve the one star I gave it.

Keragan Marie

We come almost every weekend. Food is always outstanding and they have good prices. If your coming for breakfast I recommend the hash smash or the strawberry stuffed French toast! The servers are very friendly, welcoming, and do anything they can to help.

Chloe Quinn

Five stars every time. Nothing says comfort quite like Governor's.

Joanne Lemieux

I had a good time. The roasted turkey meal was delicious.

Patti Grover

Met friends there for a lunch. Food & service was good. But the reception area was freezing cold waiting for a table as well as waiting to pay for goodies to go.

Mike Twitchell

Excellent service and excellent food. Wonderful comfort food served piping hot.

C Jinx

Love this place. Great food, great prices, great staff, and who doesn't love the train with the gorilla on it. Sinfully delicious desserts, too!

Scott Hamilton

Great food and pricing for burger and fries

Good food, good prices, friendly service. Breakfast available all day!

Sharon Junkins

Good food great service

Harmony Bawza

Buffet was just okay food was cafeteria style pretty bland and it was over 10 dollars wouldn't recommmend the breakfast

John Goode

Love the buffet, it's a large reason why I go as much as I do. Always stocked with good food and the hot cocoa is something to die for during the winter. Many years ago I used to come in as a kid with my parents and I'd always get the chocolate scones because I loved them dearly. One day I asked the waitress if there were any left and the cook felt bad for me so he sent out a Mickey mouse shaped pancake he made himself. The customer service is truly astounding here.

Adam Brown

Service is slow....food was not hot but tasted ok

Daniel McNulty

The food was good service was ok. Restrooms were very small and very dirty.

michelle robinson

Great food,friendly service & i am soooo full rn ☆☆☆☆

Robert Clifton

Update:the manager handled the issue and communicated well.

Mohammad Obeidat

Ryan Dubay

I love governor's! Large portions of good food at good prices a Maine staple... Dessert is the best part here

Kaylie Thornhill

Home style meals at a good price

Crystal Jeanne

The food here is always a favorite. Good Food for great prices. The space is what needs the tender love in care. If they spent some money to modernize this little place could become a great space for the right active crowd.

B Cas

Food is always good there and service is prompt. Usually do takeout and it is hot, generous portions, and tasty. Never had a bad meal during the 8 years I've lived here.

Linda Roy

Love Governor's best food very friendly and Nice an clean great service

Evelyn Bryant

Food was well worth the money

Kate Savidge

I always love Governor's. When we moved to South Portland 16 years ago, there was one right down the road. We used to take the kids there for dinner when they were little. They loved the train that went around the dining area! I was so sad when Governor's left South Portland. We eat at a Governor's whenever we can.

Debbie Harnish

Great food great and friendly staff

Jenn Fortin

They have excellent dessert, and if you like simple meals, their food is really good.

Sharon Buck

Good variety of items on the menu! Desserts are always good here!

c. Mor

The mill burger is the best burger I've had in a long time

Donald LeBlond

Its always AWESOME.. I wiah I lived closer so I could go more often..

David Guthrie

Had the Turkey special it was very good.

Jennifer Boyd

Great food and great service!

Google user

The food was good, I think my server was sick? Bc she didn't bring silverware and when taking orders they don't write it down? So asking for sides and extras, you'll have to ask again. It also took almost 20 for our food to come out also. Which they were busy so that was okay. I'll keep going here tho. Usually it's great!!

Shane Ashe

friendly staff nice baked goods.

Arline Pepin

The service & food are excellent. But the manager really shouldn't be training new servers where the customers are eating. Some of the lessons aren't appropriate for eating customers to have to listen to. Last night she lectured a new employee on the hazards of e coli just one table away from us, while we were eating hamburgers. She must have mentioned e coli at least 10 times in 2 minutes. It was so disgusting that I couldn't even finish my burger, and it was perfect. Cooked just how I like it.

Andrea Wallace

Always delicious!

Jake Jacobs

Excellent service and good. Very reasonable pricing.

Colby Geoffroy

Great affordable family friendly restaurant, every time I go to Governor’s i’m given excellent service and the food always comes out delicious.

Tristan

Good food, however mediocre service. Many times I have asked for something and not received it, such as today when I ordered the governor burger to-go, a burger with lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and bacon, but instead received a plain burger. I would recommend for the food, but service is inconsistent

Pam Charles

Had breakfast buffet so many choices. Food was delicious and service was great.

Christina Carroll

Soooo very good.

Kim Barber

Thanks for an awesome meal Jake ❤️

Beverly Tanguay

Good food, good service

Sarah Holman

The food was okay. Amazing staff that's for sure!

Larry Wawrzenski

A very good bfast place. Service is good. Prices are fair they have a good point reward system. Jeromy is a good waiter.

Alex Michaud

Great place for a good inexpensive dinner. Food is good staff is friendly and their pies are great.

Matthew Johnson

Good local favorites, comfort foods and seafood dishes. Awesome deserts. Best bang for your buck when it comes to cost of meal and what's on the plate.

Adam Odell

Good food.

Harold Flynn

Always a pleasure to go to Governor's Restraunt. The food is ok but the staff has always been great to deal with.

Susan White

Good place to get breakfast all day.

Mariah DUBAY

Prices have gone up, wait time has gone up, service has gone down...

JurassicPork

I've been coming to Governor's (Old Town location) since I was a child. And the Bangor location is just as good. It's usually pretty busy, so come early if you have things to do after. But the food and service is always just as good as the Old Town location. The first place I stop every time I come home to Maine.

travis kimball

Good food but the bakery prices were insane.

Adam Littlehale

Great portions and good food.

Andrew Hollingshead

Favorite restaurant in Maine. Especially the one at university of Maine

lorraine maclellan

This place was clean and affordable. The food was good and the bakery had some delicious choices

Kaydie Kaplinger

Kinda bland food, but not inedible. Came was good and portion size of the desserts are great.

mariola

Great food and great prices

Rachel Knapp

Monday $5 burger deal is awesome! Fresh burger, soft fresh bun and fries. Delicious and less expensive than "fast food"... Can't beat it.

Theresa Wyzykowski

Has lobster roll was good fries were old and cold.

Justin Poirier

Staff was friendly and the food was good. Kitchen was fairly quick. 4 stars because the restaurant is tired. Needs an update.

Cathy Spencer

Great food great service

Alan Lamb

Loved it, great tasting food, good sized portions + good service. Onion rings used corn meal and address homemade which was a plus. Look forward to eating here again.

eric shaw

Very friendly workers and the delicious homemade food is definitely worth going there for!

Frank Hodson Jr.

Great home style cooking. Large portions, terrific desert choices.

Mike Randall

Great food excellent service and staff . i could eat here every day.....

Jacob Buttarazzi

Great place to go with a group. The breakfast is great. The food is reasonably priced. Lunch and dinner are pretty good, not the best in the area, but it's great comfort food. It's the perfect restaurant for college students to get a meal that'll fill you up for a decent price. The pies are amazing as well. Go on Sundays when the pie is on sale.

Catherine Merrill

Alway a good meal

Darrell Damboise

Great place for seafood and for dessert you have to have their strawberry pie.

Coach

Food was good and the portions were large. They have a fairly large menu which will certainly have something for everyone in your group. Their homemade desserts were delicious and once again the portions were huge. I think next time I visit, I might just start with the desserts, they were so good!

Celina Halma

Loved this restaurant! Great service, good atmosphere and delicious food.

Richard Emerson

Very good food

paula hatch

Have loved the Governors since I was a little girl and is a must every time I visit Maine. The staff is great and the desserts are divine. Small family run business, diner style. Must visit if you are in the area.

EMILY C

Good comfort food! If you like Moody's, you'll like Governor's.

Theresa Cobb

The waitress was not very good. Did not bring out all of our food until we were ready to leave. Never came back to the table until we were ready to leave to see if we needed anything. Won't go back there for a quite awhile.

Chris Bennett

If you want the best homecooked meal experience this is the place to go everything is made fresh
