This is THE BEST place to get Pho locally. The broth is perfection and they source all of the veggies and meats to create the perfect soup.
Pho Appetite | Oakland ME
Such a fun night out or a delicious to go meal. The staff always entertains and the food is always spot on.
Mirakuya Sushi & Steak House
The food is so good and the owner is INCREDIBLE. He remembers, without my husband saying, that I don’t like egg in my drunken noodle. Next level Thai.
Asian Café
Perfect Thai, every time. I love ordering from here because I know I’m going to get my meal exactly the way I like it EVERY time. They have the perfect sauce to noodle ratio, just so good. A must stop.
Pad Thai Too
I have to get their chips and guacamole every time I’m in town, they’re so good. Authentic Mexican, can’t get it this good anywhere else.
La Fogata Mexican restaurant
I dream about Opa’s baklava, it is so good. This restaurant makes Greek eating a luxurious experience that you cannot miss out on.

My husband would order their Alla Maria every night if I let him. Their food never misses and we love it endlessly.

Such a homey and fantastic place to grab a bite. Staff is friendly and quick so you’re never waiting for anything too long.

I’ve been going to Katie ‘Fitzy’ for 15 years and I can’t imagine sitting in anyone else’s chair at this point. She’s excellent with color.
