Reviews for Timber Kitchen & Bar in Bangor, ME
Timber Kitchen is attached to the Residence Inn. Normally, that would bother me but restaurants being a ?part? of a hotel/motel... seems to be pretty common in Maine. There is a nice-looking outdoor seating area but it was rainy when we were there so no onewas outside. The inside is very inviting with lots of creative use of wood. It?s a good size restaurant with a long bar thathas seating as well. The service was commendable. The wait staff helps each other delivering food and clearing dishes from thetables. There was a slight snafu where we had a couple of empty glasses on the table while the waiter was attempting to arrangethe pizza cones. Rather than remove the glasses, he just squeezed the cones between every thing else (our table was a small twotop). Then he left the empty glasses. The food and drink menus have plenty of options. It?s refreshing to find a place thatdoesn?t just serve french fries with lobster or crab rolls! They have lots of creative choices, and we had a hard time decidingwhat to order. We had a couple of draft IPAs that were good but pretty pricey. Generally, we pay $5-$7 and these were $9-$10.They were served in mighty fine flutes so there?s that. The food was delicious. We had the smoked seafood chowder, Three Pigspizza and Forest Mushroom pizza. The chowder had great flavor, and we liked that they crunched up the oyster crackers on top.There could have been more seafood and less potatoes but I?ve haven?t found a place in Maine yet where it?s any different. Thepizza dough was thin and crunchy just the way we like it. The secret ingredient is cheese, and both pizzas had just the rightamount. The Three Pigs had pepperoni, sausage and prosciutto. All the meats were tasty and we especially liked that there wasn?tmuch fat on the prosciutto. And the mushroom pizza - can?t go wrong with roasted wild mushrooms, arugula, fontina cheese, andtruffle oil on a white base. Yum. We enjoyed both but push come to shove we?d pick the Forest Mus Read more
Buckeyes in Maine. Wow! Just down the road from Stephen King and Paul Bunyan who might be mistaken for Bigfoot at night. Be... careful! Timber was wonderful. Loved the Chocolate, Peanut Butter mousse( or is that "Moose" since I am in Maine) in the formof a Buckeye. It's truly The best outside of those found at The Ohio State University! Read more

My husband and I just moved to Maine and decided to visit Timber for our 19 year wedding Anniversary. The food was amazing! I... had the short rib dinner and my husband had the prime rib. The cocktails were delicious and when we told our server it was ouranniversary while ordering dessert, she delivered our dessert with chocolates that said happy anniversary and candles. Ourwaitress McKenna was wonderful! We had a great night and will definitely be back! Read more

Noonish Wednesday lunch for three during pandemic with a large party already in the private room. Only a moment longer wait than... expected. Jason, our server, gave great attention with wonderful personality. Food was delicious and hot! Onion soup was wellbalanced, calamari was tender and fresh. Timber wings with pistachios was lovely and a bit sweet. Seafood chowder was plump withbits but a touch light on bacon flavor. Fish and chips was a melt in your mouth haddock. Get the malt vinegar. Dessert of crèmebrûlée, Buckeye chocolate cake and espresso drinks was exceptional. Definitely returning to explore the menu but a bit afterlunch hour. Read more
Had lunch here based on reviews. Was not disappointed! Great selection of menu items, excellent service, and reasonable prices.... The food was excellent!! We shared the mac and cheese and the squash soup. Both were delightful. We also had the hand madepasta with chicken and the wedge salad. Delicious! Great choice when in Bangor. Indoor and outdoor seating, plenty of parking, and you can even see the Paul Bunyan statue across the street! Read more
