Bonus is you have great river views. My colleague and I had the lobster roll hot with butter and it was incredible. Huge delicious pieces of lobster. And the fries were fresh and perfectly crunchy.

The role was excellent and perfectly toasted, although you could barely find it under the mound of lobster on top. Definitely one of my top two lobster rolls across me. And definitely the best lobster roll as far as value is concerned. This is a small restaurant 6 to 7 tables only. If you have a large group or a tight on time, order it to go and pick it up at the window to enjoy in your car or at home.

We get together one a month to chat about old times and our retirement. We take turns choosing a different breakfast restaurant each time. After a few years we had tried most of the regular places in the area. I was looking for another centralized place when I drove by The Hilton Garden Hotel in Bangor, Maine. They have a breakfast buffet every morning from 6-10 AM. I was greeted promptly, seated and options explained. The buffet, which included the coffee, seemed just right. The serving line had all the usual offerings: scrambled eggs, French toast, pan cakes, sausage, bacon, home fries- not the shredded potatoes, etc., and a fruit bar. The best part was the 2 chefs who prepared to take your order for anything else. I got the omelets with bacon, mushrooms, onions, green peppers and cheese. The waitress was very pleasant and checked frequently for coffee refills or if anything else was needed. The omelets were outstanding, same with the fluffy pan cakes, soft French toast, especially the crispy bacon. I have been back 3 times since January of 2026. Great chefs, staff and food. If you are in the area, you can not go wrong by giving them a try.

The warm lobster roll with melted butter was my favorite of the entire trip, great amount of lobster and perfectly toasted roll. The traditional roll was my second favorite on the trip, ended up pouring some remaining melted butter on top of this roll as well. It was barely 50* outside, that's why the warm roll wins today, on a hot summer day the traditional cold roll would be the choice. Excellent seafood shack, highly recommend.

Burger with blueberry and goat cheese was great. Only things is- I firmly believe bacon should be crispy. This bacon was not. That's the only thing I would change. Onion and squash soups were great.
