Orono Brewing Company Tasting Room Kitchen

Overall, it was just okay. I wasn't a fan of the buzzer system, which left me unsure about where to pick up my food. The atmosphere felt like a large industrial cafeteria. It seems to be quite popular with university students, though. As for the beer selection, it was also average—plenty of options, but many of them felt very similar. The food choices were quite limited, too; the only vegetarian option was fries. I was disappointed that there was no way to decline giving a tip on already expensive food. In my opinion, tips should go to those who serve you, check in during your meal, and clean up afterward. I didn't notice any button to opt out, and there didn't seem to be a way to customize the tip amount. I probably won't return since there wasn't much available for me to eat or drink.

Cj made us an incredible dinner that was absolutely delicious!

What a wonderful place! As a tourist in Maine, I enjoyed sampling a few beers along with the BBQ Tater Tots, and I loved every bit of it!

I’m not a fan of the cafeteria-style approach they have here. It was quite confusing trying to figure out where to get the food. The atmosphere feels like a large industrial cafeteria, which doesn't appeal to me. However, it is quite popular with university students. The beer selection is average—there's a variety available, but nothing really stands out. The food options are limited; the only vegetarian choice is fries, and honestly, there's nothing here that suggests any upscale dishes. I'm also a bit confused about the tipping system—tips are typically for those who serve your food or attend to you during your meal, but I didn't notice any staff doing that. Maybe there was a tipping button I missed, but I couldn't find one, nor did I see an option for a custom tip. Overall, I don’t think I’ll be returning, as there’s nothing here for me to eat or drink.

Cj prepared an incredible dinner for us that exceeded all our expectations. It was absolutely delicious and beyond description!
