Nest is awesome! It replaced the vape shop that used to be here and is now a cozy cafe with…read morebreakfast sandwiches, baked goods, and delicious drinks. There are pillows on the seats that tie the whole experience together. The only other coffee shop in Orono is Aroma Joe's and Nest beats it by quite a bit. I recommend a ginger snap cappuccino or a chai/Thai tea! You have to try Nest. This place deserves all the business and it's a great place to study and chat.

This is certainly a good little kitchen, the chicken could be a bit crispier and the pizza a little…read moreless grease but everything is good food. It isn't just edible I would actually go out of my way and choose this over some big name chain like even Mcdonalds. The food comes out quick, the employees are nice and just down to earth, and it gives me a little nostalgiac feeling everytime I order. Just a few nitpicks but overall I do recommend!

Confusing when you walk in. We were told we could have a seat but they failed to mention that you…read moremust order at the counter. We figured it out and it didn't take long for our food to be prepared. They have seating for probably 50 but looks like a lot of people order food to go. I ordered lasagna which was delicious! It was stuffed with lots of ricotta, meat sauce and other cheeses. Only thing bottom layer was burnt to pan but the portion was so large it didn't even matter. Comes with a side salad with fresh, crispy lettuce, shredded carrots, red cabbage, onion, tomato and cucumber. Also two large slices of garlic bread. We also ordered barbecue chicken pizza. They are generous with their toppings and flavor was delicious.

Another bad experience with the owner or owner's son or whoever that guy is. You exchange a couple…read morewords with him and he immediately starts whining and venting and getting angry about his personal or work problems that have nothing to do with you. I have really soured on the food because when I eat it I just think about how that is the guy whose lifestyle I'm funding by being a customer here.

I've eaten at the Donald Ross grill twice in the last 2 weeks while visiting the area. I ordered…read morethe same thing both times, because it was so good: the Philly cheese steak sandwich and sweet potato fries. Their fries, whether sweet potato or regular, are hand cut and a little crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside-perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. The sandwich was very good-no grizzly spots of meat, plenty of meat on the sandwich and the bun was lightly toasted. My husband had a smash burger which was really good and he couldn't stop eating the fries either! We've also had the onion rings and they might be the best I've ever had. The view is lovely, the people are nice, and trivia night was fun too!

From the owner: There aren't too many places that have a view comparable to the one at the Grill.

The beer was drinkable but nothing great. Small spot, very local-y which I liked. Lots of kids slamming on tables and screaming and stuff so if thats your thing probably fine.

Still the same Pat's I recall from my college days and even though it was game night I was able to quickly get in with a table at the bar. Most of the tables were full and took about 25 minutes for the pizza due to the crowd. Service is always fun with that college town vibe and supporting many student servers. Enjoyed a Pat's Black Cherry soda along with a small all meat pizza. As greasy as I remember, plenty of meat toppings to tame your hunger. This is a nostalgic 5 star for me, likely a 4 for a foodie in town checking out the sites. I thoroughly enjoyed a walk down memory lane!!

Awesome place. Great bar pie. Has personality. Cant describe it just feels legit…read more The ovens and place are so old, full of character. Even in crazy rushes (before hockey games or any weekend) they are well staffed and fast. Prices are great. Seriously an OG restaurant. Is very maine and feels like home.

But that's just the way things are. Few small tables for casually eating then a full restaurant in back that is a cool sports bar vibe. They churn out food, super fast and busy. People on here complain about the specials and not understanding the pricing, It is made very clear if you actually read it.
