    If you're visiting someone in Maine Medical Center this is a great quick option for a meal. Staff…read moreis very accommodating and friendly as well! I had a very extended visit as a patient at MMC and had two visitors who drove quite a distance and arrived hungry. I suggested we try Pavilion, as they had the option to order and pay online and set a pick up time. Super convenient! We had a few hot sandwiches that were very customizable with the options on the web form. Mine was a steak and cheese on a nice French roll, sub-style. You have many choices for condiments, vegetables (hot or cold), and cheeses (some are extra, some are free). One guest had a burger and the other picked a hot pastrami. We also added one of each hot side; onion rings, fries, and sweet potato fries. All of the sandwiches and sides were well-made, to our specifications, and quite like a sit-down restaurant in flavor and quality! No complaints at all. I am on a carb-restricted diet so I had to call down and ask for carbohydrate information for the roll and onion rings. The staff who answered were more than happy to help and found that information for me within a couple of minutes. So helpful and with a smile in their voice! My visitor who went down to pick it up asked for a "good selection of all the condiments" at arrival to the pick up counter. They gave us a little paper bag with at least 50 single-serve packets of all their different kinds of condiments for free! We are talking hot sauce (Cholula!), ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, relish, etc.! That really helped to have quite a few extras to last out my stay and jazz up the standard hospital meals. Overall I don't think you can miss if you choose this for a meal while at the hospital or in the area in general. Prices are far more reasonable than local eateries nearby. Our entire meal for 3 came to just over $40 with a 20 ounce bottled beverage and a Smartfood popcorn for a later snack added on! (Check out my photo for a breakdown that includes prices.)

    Trusty diner on Commercial Street in an area that was once far from the epicenter of Old Port, but…read morecity growth has brought it closer. Relatively easy parking. Good breadth of menu. Seats in relaxing booths plus plenty of stools. Servers very experienced and very friendly. It's a comforting environment. Their many loyal "regulars" are there for a reason. I've already got a few visits under my belt and liked them enough to have bought a souvenir mug. First visit actually reviewing was a breakfast trying the Hobson's Sampler with eggs, meat, homefries, toast, pancakes, and many choices among them. -- Scrambled Eggs: Nothing remarkable but no mistakes. Cooked just right, avoiding brownage and runny goopage. -- Homefries: Cut into non-cubes with heights less than the widths, achieving better crispness that way. Good variety of textures. Not much seasoning or onion, but solid homefries. -- Sausage Links (3): Standard. Lightly crisped, still juicy. Seems easy, but hardly anyone does them this well. -- English Muffin: I told the server to skip the toast, seeing there'd be plenty of carbs with the two pancakes, but she strongly recommended trying the English muffins, since they were homemade. Great flavor, great choice. Will have these again and I recommend you try them too. -- Pancakes (2): Fluffy and delicious. And big. Not elite, but really close. Enough that you'd have to go to 10 other places before finding one better. Just a great all-around place. No wow factor, but on every visit (all breakfasts), everything was good, right down to the efficient and friendly service.

    Also a staple for some breakfast! They have a fast turnover rate so you're never waiting long and…read morethey are very efficient in sitting people. I got the hobsons wharf special, which is best for the price point and the amount of food you get! Definitely has that classic diner feel. Gets a little crazy in the summer, but going really early is the way to go!

    The perfect walk in burger joint in downtown Portland. We went on a Sunday night at 8 pm and we…read morewere able to get seated right away. The ambiance is a classic burger joint: music, loud chatter, etc, but it's perfect for the vibe. Our waiter was attentive, though not overbearing. The food was delicious. I got the crispy chicken sandwich and my wife got the cowboy burger. The buns on both were the star of the show, for us. Clearly handmade in the back, soft and chewy, yet sturdy enough to handle a hefty burger and sandwich. We also got the loaded fries, which were alright. For the price, I don't know if I'd recommend them again, just go with the regular fries. The texture of the fries was perfect, but the pickled onion/ground beef combination was not my favorite.

For being in the middle of the day on a Saturday, I was actually surprised it wasn't busier; however, with a starving kid it was a blessing. Service was quick and kind, but not overly frilly. The staff were pleasant and incredibly accommodating with my son (offering coloring books if he needed to be kept busy, etc). I loved the location, and the ambiance was stellar. I would love to come back as a date night so I could actually take in the space and really enjoy look over the options, rather than a quick glance so that we could keep our afternoon rolling. I got a chicken sandwich and my husband and son both got cheeseburgers. We split a large fry which was plenty for the three of us. Portions were reasonably sized for the price, and the dirty sauce I got on the side was delicious! The house-made soda was also delightful and refreshing. So, a 3 star is great for the the fact that I didn't really take my time to truly take it all in. But I definitely look forward to coming back and really soaking it all in
