New York style pizza has moved to Maine! Lately's is Hallowell's newest rising star in the pizza…read moregame. Located on the edge of downtown, Lately's is serving up NY style pizza, breakfast all day (and night on the weekends), along with select signature sandwiches. The NY style pizza has the perfect char, does not droop, and the toppings do not slide off. Perfectly balanced with cheese to sauce to dough, I cannot get enough - especially when slices are huge and just $2.99! I have only had their pizza but the staff and atmosphere are warm, sunny, and super friendly. Their shop is easily accessed from Water Street where there is tons of free parking and is steps away from Granite City Park (you know - the place with the chairs). Lately's takes card and cash, and also offers Coke products, self serve coffee, and a selection of cold adult beverages! There is plenty of inside seating, but, in my opinion, the red table outside in the sun on the sidewalk is where I like to chill. NY style pizza is alive and well at Lately's in Hallowell.

Came here with my wife, we each had a Cesar salad and the turkey bacon panini sandwiches…read more The salad portion was plentiful, and I have no complaints about the salad itself. The sandwiches, though, were not too good- the guacamole on our sandwiches left an awkward taste, and the meats could definitely be better sourced. Boars Head would be good, for example. Two cookies we got were hard as a rock- not really sure what's going on at this place but it definitely gave off a weird impression in that the place was dirty in front and behind the counter. Definitely a hipster vibe, but it needs a cleaning and some help all around. Cost for 2 was $60! No plans in going back.

I had not been here in years so we decided to stop by while staying nearby…read more We got the single dog basket with chili on the dog, and onion rings, and a double dog basket with chili dogs and fries., both came with coleslaw. We ate outside, although eating in is an option. The hot dogs were tasty and the chili had a nice flavor. We liked the cheese slice on the bottom of the chili dogs. We loved the coleslaw. We couldn't get enough of those onion rings! We were tempted to get another order. They were so good! Service was friendly and fast and the prices are reasonable. The menu has a lot of choices, including specials and home made donuts. The staff made sure the outside area stayed clean and feee of debris. Ample parking.

So excited when I read they were open again for the season! I wish I had my family with me today to…read moreenjoy this, but I'm riding solo this trip. I just ordered a single hot dog baskets the fries are so good! Hand it with skins. Perfectly crisp, with a big cup of ketchup on the side. Cole slaw is delicious! I'm not much of a cole slaw person, so that says a lot. The menu is extensive! Truly something very everyone. Not only hot dogs here! Burgers, lobster rolls, chowder, sausage, poutine. DONUTS!!! Yes fresh made everyday. Plus the biggest Whoopie pies you'll ever see. Service is wonderful, as seeks to be the norm here in central Maine. They greet you as you come in the door. The voices coming out of the kitchen seem calm and relaxed. You can tell they like being here and they all get along. They have some indoor seats, so it's nice to sit and people watch and listen to commentary as they eat. Can't wait to come back again, and then again and again all summer.

Bagel Mainea used to be my favorite bagel shop around. I loved the staff, the atmosphere, and…read moreobviously, the bagels. I came here today for the first time in a few months because I've been in a rough financial spot, but I decided to spoil myself and order online since I was rushing to work. The order said it would take about 30 minutes, so I thought, "Okay, I have time." I got there about 20 minutes later and was shocked to see that my order was already done! I grabbed the bag and headed back to my car, gave the bagels to my partner, and we hopped onto the interstate. Unfortunately, the next exit was 10 miles south. My partner pulls the bagels out, and to our absolute surprise... THE BAGELS WEREN'T EVEN TOASTED. WHO IS ORDERING A BAGEL WITH CREAM CHEESE UNTOASTED?! So not only did I pay $20 for THREE bagels, but I paid for three bagels that were completely inedible to me. And because we were already on the interstate with no exit for 10 miles, there was nothing I could do about it. I'm honestly so disappointed because I used to love this place. I understand mistakes happen, but when you're spending $20 on three bagels, especially when you're already trying to be careful with money, you expect your order to at least be made correctly. Would not recommend after this experience and due to the change of atmosphere, I won't be back, and will be taking my bagel orders to Sunrise Bagel down the street.

Time for a little update!…read more It's been a hot minute since we've been back to visit -- four years, actually -- and the fact that this gem still exists says something! This time we brought the whole family for dinner. I'd recommend reservations on weekends since it was packed, but we got seated right away because we planned ahead. Our waitress was top-notch -- high energy, charming, attentive. I'd give her 6 stars if I could! She read our crew well and adapted to each individual at the table -- a skill that clearly came from experience, and it served her (and us) well. Everything we had was great: cocktails, appetizers, dinner -- not a bad thing on the table. But the standouts for me were the Buffalo Cauliflower and the Spicy Shrimp Shio Ramen. For drinks, the seasonal Crazy (whiskey, Amaro Montenegro, beet, cayenne, lemon, egg white) and the Veruca Salt (tequila, coconut, avocado, pineapple, lime) were both incredible. I loved them so much I'm making a special trip back to town during my stay just to have them again ;) Bravo, State Lunch! You've got a fan for life. Book that reservation -- you won't be disappointed.

As expected, the menu was healthy and vegetarian and vegan friendly; the default for the smoothies was coconut milk. The brick café was flooded with natural light and maintained its historic Water Street, Hallowell bones. Counter service was efficient; the server politely told us they were closing in a half hour, which wasn't a problem. The only note was the loud country / Christian music. I realize this is subjective but we agreed it detracted from the experience. Otherwise, Juiced is a solid place to stop in Hallowell.

What a great find. Big menu ! Lots of menu items are shareable. Ask your waitperson what sizes are…read moreon what you're ordering. I had a kids menu fried haddock comes with fries, blueberries & 2 oreo cookies. It was twice as large as I expected. Took home a doggy bag. My wife had the chicken sandwich & loved it, she ate the whole thing. The onion rings she added on instead of fries,just a minimal up charge. They were super crispy in a good way.I had a Budweiser Zero along with my lunch. Our waitress the prettiest & nicest girl around. Alexis was spot on in every way. I watched her hustle from table to table to bar etc... She like the energizer bunny. She has some gothic tattoos. My niece Liv needs to meet her & share the artwork. It's like they would be sisters. If you've never been trust me you'll enjoy yourself. They open at 11:30 & there were people already in line.
