Reviews on American food in Lewiston, Maine, United States. Lewiston (English pronunciation: /ˈluːɪstən/, French pronunciation: /ˈluːɪstə/; officially the City of Lewiston, Maine) is the second largest city in Maine and the most central city in Androscoggin County.

We had a variety of sandwiches which came with chips and pretty much tasteless salsa. We joked that this was obviously good for us, based on the adage, "if it tastes good it must be bad for you." I really wish I liked this place better. Definitely fresh, quality ingredients at a reasonable price and with reasonably sized portions in an OK artsy setting. Just not much taste to it.

We are a high energy restaurant with a vibrant neighborhood bar and grill appeal. Though we are known for our steaks, you will find there is something on the menu to please anyone in your group. We serve Choice Black Angus beef which is hand cut daily on

Macâs Grill looks like a Western USA restaurant and serves All American food including seafood. We arrived without reservations on a Monday evening about 7 pm. The place was crowded and we had a little bit of a wait. Good waitstaff service and average tasting food; no problems.

Two teenage sons asked for lobster rolls after visiting colleges in the area, and I made the mistake of googling lobster rolls near me (Lewiston) and Macâs Seafood came up. We were in a rush but thought to make a quick stop there and grab some of Maineâs finest lobster rolls. What we received instead were expensive lobster rolls with below average taste. Maybe we just got a bad batch but ordering three at $19.99 each... we were expecting a mouth watering experience. Also, zero sides with the rolls at $60 = yikes! A one and done for us. Should have searched in Brunswick instead.

The best sandwiches, their staff is always friendly and very patient (often hard to decide with such a large menu and they are all good choices!!) It is a bit pricey for an average lunch but it is SO WORTH IT! Much better than any value meal. And try the box lunches available with pre-order takeout.

The biggest problems had with this restaurant is with the restaurant atmosphere. First off it had a quite offputting seafood smell. I expected some smell, but it was pretty strong. Secondly, it was extremely cold in the restaurant. I ordered a lobster salad sandwich which was ok, but they were out of the clam chowder I asked for a side instead of fries. While this wouldn't have been a big deal alone, but they told me as they were delivering my food. Overall, I don't believe I would return to this restaurant.

We have been going to Gippers for years. We live local so you can trust my review when I say you will not be disappointed with your dining experience. Gippers is a sports pub so it's not quiet, lol. They have multiple televisions playing different sports. They also have an interactive game you can play while sitting at your table (trivia game). Some of the staff have been there for years and they are all very friendly and courteous. The food is amazing; so delicious (mouth watering) and you will not be amazed with the portion sizes. Gippers is a favorite among the locals and I would highly recommend you give it a try. Once you do, I'm sure you will want to come back. Five stars+

If you find yourself in Lewiston, Maine and hunkering for a hot dog or a burger, then this is your stop. Do NOT hesitate. Simone's has been serving up fast food in Lewiston since before fast food was invented. And don't miss the opportunity to try a real red skin dog, They snap when you bite, and melt in your mouth. They are open for breakfast as well.

Beers from the brewery were very tasty (particularly on a hot day). Good selection of basic house brewed beers (ale, lager, brown, bitter). Great outdoor seating in back with a view of the river and riverwalk. Food was a step up from basic brew pub fare, and quite tasty.

We strive to find diners and this place is excellent. Location is off the beaten path, we never knew it was there. The parking lot appeared near full but there is plenty of seating inside. Out waitress Rita is as cute as a button and so friendly. I believe she said Rolly's has been open for 25 years and she has worked there 20 yrs which says volumes about the owner. I am a fan of biscuits and sausage gravy. They have a SOS served on one of the largest biscuits I have ever seen, and oh so good. The portion was so large I took home half. My hubby had an omelet which he enjoyed. Lunch menu looks good as well, we cannot wait to come back.

Very pleasant meal. We ordered the mixed grill and the vegetables and the crab Rangoon appetizer. All were perfectly prepared and tasty. Theyâll bring some bread to complement as well. Service was great and they accommodated our little puppy nicely when we sat on their coveted patio. Very delicious!
