    The restaurant is attached to the airport inside the Best Western hotel. It serves decent American style food like burgers. I had the Maine wild blueberry pancakes in an effort to hit carb nirvana. The pancakes were good and contained plenty of the delicious blueberries which probably negated all calories. The coffee was good. Service was pleasant. If you are at the airport I would recommend it as an option. The is an airplane / Maine themed atmosphere.

    We had a late snack to kill some time before our early flight back home. We had garlic parm chicken wings that were decent. Seems like a convenient option while staying at the airport hotel or waiting for your flight. It had regular American bar food options and probably some good drink options as well. I will say only one waitress working the tables and bar area that evening. She was doing great for what one person can do but another one working would have been better overall.

    The breakfast was great for being located in a hotel. The price is fair for the amount of food you get. Plenty of breakfast options. The waitress is friendly. I would say it's on the same level of an IHOP or Dennys.

    The lobster roll, the panko haddock, the blueberry pie, the whoopie pie and the chowder are amazing. Really gives you a taste of Maine. And Fonda is a great bartender and server.

    While it does not constitute fine dining, Tailwinds offers sit down dining. You can have a burger, pasta dishes and some other meals. It also has a bar. I love that they have partnered with local breweries and feature the "refueled" for the crew of fueling military planes.

    Very nice and clean restaurant. Could use some music or jazz to give it some character. Nice tables and comfy chairs. Great service too. Prices were ok as well. Had the burger with nice wedges of thick cut fries. Very tasty and delicious caramelized mushrooms that were added. I'll try the onion rings next time. Inside the hotel and I believe has happy hour.

    Seems like most people stop here if they are passing through or by the airport. My flight got delayed by almost 3 hours, and this restaurant was the only one open at 8pm. Giving this place 3 stars because my dish (lemon chicken with linguine) was quite bland. Tasted like a plate of pasta and butter, with chicken breast--not much salt? Portions were generous for the price, and waitress was very kind. Great service, and comfortable atmosphere to lounge in if you're waiting for a flight. Nothing to go out of your way for.

    Food had to be frozen pre-fab, tasted like a school cafeteria. We flew in at 1:00pm they're closed from 1-5, so we had to wait 4 hours.

We went to "family Restaurants", local pizza place, Sea dogs by the water, McLaughlins (great food but man, they need umbrellas over their tables!!). Anglers was also good but kind of far. The food at Blue Skye Lounge is excellent! One wouldn't think it would be so great at a pub style lounge but one would sadly miss a good meal by not heading into this lounge. Yes, service can be a tad slow, but the bar is always quite busy, so tables wait a bit for service. We go in with our grandchildren. They LOVE the mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders and the pizza! It's the best around, I swear, and at a VERY reasonable price. During happy hour, you can't beat the prices. Chicken tenders are always perfectly cooked and at $8.00 an order, it's the best deal around. Mozzarella sticks? They love them and at $5.00 an order, it makes the grand parents smile We went several times during this visit. Our last being Wednesday evening. (Our Wednesday morning flight had been cancelled!) Bree was our waitress and she was the best! She was busy, but right there for refills, and checking to see if everything was good. She's a gem at the Blue Skye lounge!

Service was friendly and very knowledgeable. The drinks we got were great. Things to improve on: Priced a little high for what you get. Change the menu to much where they don't have anything on the menu you have to hear everything from the waitress which is hard to remember. We didn't try any food for the reason and for everything to be super pricey. I will be back to try again if I'm in the area, even if it's just for a drink!

The vibe is chill speakeasy/library; there's a comfy bar area with tables and then a warren of other little spaces where you can hang out as well, with books and games strewn about to peruse. I love that they have a small, curated menu, which makes it easy: Maine oysters (two kinds, both awesome) got me started with a martini (well OK two martinis; friendly bartender makes them *perfectly*), and then you can extend to dinner with a few rotating options. I got lucky because whoever is making this delicious food decided that bolognese and lasagna should have a baby and be served in a piping-hot dish with some bread and salad on the side, and who could be mad about that?! (NB get some red wine with it). And they feature the fabulous Maine martini (aka Allen's Coffee Brandy, to which I have been converted), so there's your perfect nightcap. Sometimes when you go to bars with small menus the food is so-so, but not here: everything was insanely good and the perfect portion size. Who knows when I'll be back in Bangor next, but I'll definitely come here again when I am. Check it out!

This place is a great playground for any age from elementary school age to retirement folks there is a little something for everyone. The men at the counter were friendly and informative. They also were kind enough to keep an eye on the bowling lanes for us as we awaited the other party guests. Walked the gaming area with my grandson and came up with a pregame plan of what games to play when everyone arrived. Have to admit, I'm a sucker for Skee ball Prices are actually reasonable, where else can you get a large cheese pizza for $15? The lanes are $50 for an hour including all shoes for each player. Some games are $1.00 others are more players choice. In the bar area there are pool tables and corn hole lanes set up. Mini golf is available weather permitting. Today is another rain soaker so not today for us. My 9 yo grandson is having the time of his life, for us, that is priceless.
