The Orono area is not packed with Deli options, so the Harvest Moon is one of the only places to go to get a sandwich apart from Subway. The Harvest Moon is not a sub sandwich city deli, they have 'classic' sandwiches on sliced bread with pesto mayo and grainy mustard. The specialty sandwiches are good, I usually get an Ella Fitzgerald or Dizzy Gillespie. The bread is always fresh and you can buy a loaf to take home. They have a soup of the day - last time I was in it was Minestrone. read more

Being from New York, I have a bias for deli sandwiches on that they should be these towering behemoths of deliciousness. Complete opposite at the Harvest Moon Deli but a pleasant one nonetheless. I love the names of their paninis, and I had to order the "Steak Me Home Tonight". From first to last bite it was great. Tender steak and crisp veggies with creamy cheese sauce, perfectly flattened in the press. Despite the obvious long list of to go orders coming in I was able to get my order fairly quickly and ate in at the bar top. Small place and could get overcrowded on a busy day but wasn't bad today. Amazing food and great service, will absolutely be back and try more great sounding menu items like the Roast Beef of Burden or Feel Like Bacon Love. read more

Harvest Moon Deli - Steak Me Home Tonight! - Sandwiches Near Me - Orono, Maine

I really like the sandwiches here, and the names are super clever! Fast service. Highly recommend!

This was one of my favorite places we went to up in the area. The wrap was really tasty, filling and fresh. I got both bleu cheese and bacon the potato salad: two things that I love. The music was solid, the decor was cool, and the window seating was pleasant. Prices were pretty good too. I def wanna get back to this spot the next time we're up in ME. read more

Harvest Moon Deli - Wrap, bacon bleu potato salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Orono, Maine

See all

I have eaten at the Stillwater Ave, Griffin Road, and Columbia St Harvest Moons and have never been disappointed. On Saturday, October 28, I stopped by the Brewer Harvest Moon to grab some potato salad. Service was fast. When I got home I opened the container and it was packed full of cubed potatoes. NO mayo, no eggs, no seasoning....just potatoes. Seriously?! Who was the genius that thought that was potato salad? The other Harvest Moons put stuff in their potato salad. Waste of 5 bucks. read more

Love to see this Maine chain doing well across the state. Classic rock and smackin sandwiches

Great place!!! It's got some great personality with plenty of food to go around! They dish out really good sandwiches and wraps. I've never been disappointed with the service or the meal when I've gone here! Highly recommend if you need a quick bite. read more

Outward appearance of wholesome is deceiving here. Bought a sandwich there and half the advertised ingredients were missing. The sandwich contained a smidgen of something. Needed a microscope to find anything WHOLESOME or otherwise. They are just out for the buck. read more

Just ate here with two of my friends at 7 o'clock and let me tell you... the service of the girl working was very poor. Not only that she had a hickey on her neck. We walk in and are greeted with "just so you know the wait is 30-45 minutes long" (turning around business). she didn't greet us at all and it didn't make the business look good at all. Very bitchy facial expression when we decide to order. We get our food in 15 minutes not even, not in the order that we paid. There was a girl that ordered an online order and the girl was more focused on cleaning than making the to go order. She then turned off the OPEN sign 30 minutes before closing. The guy she was working with looked miserable to be around her presence. Please do something about this! Not a good representation of your franchise. read more

Really good food! Loved the sandwich I got and the service was pretty fast. The cashier was also pretty friendly too.

While most of the time I have a good experience here, today I bought a bacon sandwich and they charged me $15 just for the sandwich and a small bag of chips. Not to mention the bread was very burnt. I took a pic of the bread but I'm not sure how to include that. Overpriced for a sandwich that wasn't as good as I expected. read more

Cafe style service with great sandwich/wrap selection that appeals to vegetarians and meat lovers alike. read more

Harvest Moon Deli - "Whole Lotta Veggie" and "Spice Spice Baby" - Sandwiches Near Me - Orono, Maine

I had their More Than Birds panini and it was so good! It's a bit pricy (similar to Panera Bread sandwiches) but I'm willing to splurge on occasion. Good seating, clean bathroom, overall good experience read more

Maybe I was having a bad day but my soup was bland, my husband had a Reuben, not the greatest quality of meat Very clean and the staff very courteous, My daughter and her UMaine friends love the sandwiches, so I will try again for sure next time! read more

Let it be known that I HATE sandwiches. Very un-American of me, I know. BUT this place makes the fresh and they have veggie options and that is what drove me in to visit this place for the first time last Thursday. Went at 12:30 and it was pretty busy. There were no open tables so we hung around for a few minutes looking at the menu until one opened. Unique selection and they let you sub things out if you want however I think they really should offer more veggie options. They did have a temph special but I was too weary to try that. You order and pay at the window, give them your name, and they will call it our or bring it to you. I ended up with the Lennon (pretty sure that was it) and subbed out the Jack for Mozz cheese and had it on the foccica (spelling I know) bread. I didnt see that chibatta bread (spelling I know) until after I ordered and I would have like to try that. The bread was a tad dry (hence docking one star plus waiting for a seat) but the inside of it was delicious. It had a lot of flavor and it wasnt piled on and too hard to eat like some places. This was manageable and the right portion size. They have soup but only one kind a day. Sell bread by the loaf as well. Decor is very plain and since seating is limited you feel very rushed to eat and get out if there are people waiting to place their order in line. I will go back and try it again but they really should get more creative with their veggie options. read more

Manhattan prices for mediocre, small-sized portions of processed meat and cheese. Nothing made in house. I had a "Peter Paul and Mary" -- the sandwiches have cloyingly annoying names -- and it had a few slices of salami and cheese, with some red peppers. And it cost $11. WTF? Sodas are from the fountain. Space is like a cheap diner, with plastic all around, and absolutely no atmosphere to speak of. Patrons look depressed. Absurdly expensive. Blah. read more

Very delicious! Kind of expensive for a sandwich, but very good. The chipotle ranch is to die for!!

I love this little deli shop. My daughter introduced me to this place.They make artisan sandwiches that have never disappointed. I like to try something new every time I go. As much as I'm impressed by the food, the staff are equally impressive. Just their attitude is a breath of fresh air. They are very courteous, respectful and you can just tell they are good people. These days I can take advantage of ordeirng online with Eatstreet. I just just pop in quick for pickup or they will even deliver. read more

Nice, intimate deli reminiscent of ones dotting NYC. Plenty of choices on the menu and friendly wait staff. Music playing in the background fits nicely with their music-themed sandwich names. I went with the Jefferson Airplane and was not disappointed. read more

Harvest Moon Deli - the dining area of a restaurant - Sandwiches Near Me - Orono, Maine

Food isn't very good and a couple people i know got food poisoning. I also know they fire their workers for silly mistakes

Was trying to order over the phone and the worker was extremely rude and impatient with me. Started to raise his voice in an aggressive and fed up tone to the point where I had to hang up. Love their sandwiches but extremely disappointed with the service. read more

Management couldn't be any more rude.... simple fix would have made this enjoyable, even offering to pay for new food but was refused. On the upside panhandlers got lunch and wewe discover tacorita their staff was amazing read more

My first time at Harvest Moon was right before they closed on a Thursday night. I was the only customer in the deli and the employees were hilarious! They were joking around with each other, let me pick out a radio station to jam to (Queen, of course), and gave me a free cookie for my music choice. It's an extremely welcoming environment and a cozy little deli with great food. I've only ever had the Olive and Let Die panini (the cherry pepper mayo and homemade pesto are the best part of this sandwich) because I'm hooked, but my friends love all their other paninis as well (especially the More Than Birds). I would definitely this place because of the amazing service and the great food. read more

A deli worthy of a once-a-week visit for lunch. The pretzel bread, alone, is worth the trip, and makes me daydream. The sandwich selection is outstanding...favorites include the "Bobby Zimmerman," "Jefferson Airplane," and "Robert Palmer." Even if your sandwich isn't on the menu, if it has ever been created for a weekly special, they will attempt to recreate it for you. I will regularly take a photo of the board if there is a sandwich that really grabs me and then show it to the cashier who puts in my order with a smile. The rewards program is an added bonus too -- just remember to give your card while paying and you are on your way to free sandwiches. This place would crush it in much bigger towns...we are very lucky! read more

I had high hopes, but wasn't impressed at all. I ordered a corned beef sandwich on rye. The bread had a rye flavor, but looked nothing like rye bread. Altogether an very uninspired sandwich and the pickle was mediocre; soft, rather than crisp. Worst of all was the wait. A full 15 minutes for them to make one sandwich, even though there was nobody ahead of me. Admittedly, they were making sandwiches for people in the restaurant, but it seems that carry-out should not have to wait until everyone in the restaurant has received their food. Food: 2 stars Service: there is none for carry-out, really Ambiance: 3 stars read more

i go here for a tomato-basil-mozzarella fix (their jerry garcia), and am disappointed pretty much every time. most recently, the tomatoes were sickly and the cheese was one thin slice of something that i kind of doubt was mozzarella. they might have improved on this, but they also take an inexplicably long time to make their sandwiches. a few friends and i used to call in 2-4 sandwiches at non-peak times, wait a bit, drive over, pay, and then wait some more before getting our sandwiches. at least they have a website with their menu. read more

Have been here twice, and both times, have ordered the Ella Fitzgerald sandwich. I have to say, it has to be the best sandwich I have ever had! Everything about it was perfect. Definitely do recommend if you're in the area, or if you're just passing through on I-95! read more

Honestly one of the better sandwiches I've had. As someone who travels a lot and eats quite a few sandwiches, I was skeptical that a place in Orono could measure up, but Harvest Moon Deli did not disappoint! I ordered the Eric Clapton on ciabatta and the way the flavors all melted together was just heavenly on my taste buds. Definitely worth a try if you are in the area or driving by and need a good lunch! read more

Fabulous tuna melts (George Harrison) ... I have enjoyed every sandwich i've ever had here but those are my favorite, so many good soups too!! read more

I have been here a couple of times since I have moved to Orono. I have always had friendly service and good food. Best sandwiches in the town that I have found so far. read more

I really wanted to get excited about this place, but just can't. The sandwiches are good, but overpriced in my opinion. My last visit there, I ordered 2 sandwiches and 2 sodas. It was over $20 which I think is high for a order at the register take out sandwich joint for lunch. The place was empty, because it had just opened. The employees were hanging out talking in the kitchen. It didn't seem like anyone was in any hurry to start making my order. It then took 20 minutes for them to make my sandwiches which should have been 5 minutes. I haven't been back since. read more

I can't believe this place is still here. I used to go to this place when I was in college at Umaine from 2004-2008. Best wrap I ever had.. Looks like the place hasn't changed! Next time I'm in Maine I am so going here! read more

We stopped in for lunch. They had just what we were looking for soup, salad, and coffee. There is quite an extensive sandwich menu, but just not in mood for sandwiches. The dining room is small but there are a few booths. Ordering is at kitchen window and the man there was pleasant. Pros: we both agreed that the chicken tortilla soup had good flavor. Not homemade and not a lot of chicken but good. Husband ordered the chef salad and I ordered the garden with added chicken salad, both with house dressing which is a homemade balsamic vinaigrette. The salads had an abundance of fresh lettuce spring mix! And the coffee was good; very important Cons: Everything served in to go containers...but my bad, I didn't think to ask if regular plates, bowls, and mugs were an option. Like an idiot, I put the house dressing on my salad (and mixed it up real good ) before I tasted it. My husband then warned me that it was not the type of balsamic we are used to. Ack! The balsamic vinegar was so sour it made my tongue shrivel up; the dressing rendered that delicious looking salad inedible. I got a side of ranch to try to cut it but didn't do good enough job. Live & learn (again). Bottom line: definitely would go back and try again. read more

Just picked up some tuna sandwiches on Sunday. The sandwich was really great! Tuna fresh and very yummy. Highly recommend this deli!

This deli is fabulous!! The food is great, the prices are very reasonable, the deli is clean and cute. One of my good friends, Sam, introduced me to this place on our lunch date today and I'm so glad he did!! I'll definitely be returning soon. And the service is fairly quick which is great for that hour break in between classes at UMaine. read more

Top notch sandwiches, awesome salads. We enjoy lunch here as often as possible. The club is my absolute favorite!

There were 5 of us on a family trip heading from Baxter State Park to Acadia and we found this deli on Yelp. All 5 of us loved the sandwiches we got - not an easy task when we ranged in age from 59 to 18 and one was a vegetarian. The service was fast even though the place was full and the three guys working were pleasant and happy to answer all questions. The sunflower bread was excellent. read more

Wonderful local food. Great soup and flavorful sandwiches try the spiced pumpkin bisque and Jimi Hendrix

I have been going here for years, but the last few times my sandwiches have been inedible; the bread is so unbelievably soggy I've had to bring it home and get new pieces of bread, there is always way too much condiments and extremely over priced. I'm will no longer continue going here. read more

The food is good, but almost every time I go they mess up my order. I usually get one of the sandwiches off the menu, so I'm not sure why this happens. They've always been good about resolving the situation, but it's not worth the wait to me. It takes a really long time for them to make sandwich!! read more
