I had gone periodically and thought it was not great, and tried it again tonight and will not go back. It is expensive for the quality and selection available, basics of lomein and fried rice are not good. Oily and flavorless. If it wasn't $26 a person for dinner and was $18, it would be like eh, it's a deal even if it isn't great. It's a premium price and low quality.

The Great Wall Augusta, ME A Buffet Experience That Requires…read moreStretchy Pants and Emotional Preparedness If you're cruising down the highway in Augusta and suddenly feel the gravitational pull of fried rice, congratulations -- you're near The Great Wall. Conveniently located close to the highway and surrounded by shops (should you need to walk off 3-5 plates afterward), this buffet fortress boasts a well-maintained parking lot and handicap accessibility. In short: easy to get to, hard to leave. Atmosphere: The Buffet Cathedral Walking inside, you're greeted by a cavernous dining room with ample natural light -- the kind that lets you clearly see the five or six buffet stations daring you to test your willpower. There's plenty of seating, so whether you arrive solo, with family, or with your competitive-eating alter ego, you'll have room to expand emotionally and physically. Staff: Swift and Smiling The staff is friendly and efficient -- masters of the silent plate swap. You'll look down mid-bite and suddenly your finished plate has vanished like a magic trick, replaced with opportunity. It's the kind of service that says, "Yes, we see you going back for thirds. We support you." Food: A Journey in Three Acts The Highlights (Return-Trip Worthy) * Fried rice: The dependable hero. Fluffy, flavorful, and generously scooped on your plastic plate. * Chicken dishes of all varieties: If it clucks, they've sautéed it, fried it, glazed it, or lovingly bathed it in sauce. Also, Chicken on a stick. Yep, just like the name suggests, it's chicken on a stick. Simple, elegant, and on a stick! * Bok choy with oyster sauce: Fresh, vibrant, and a responsible choice you can point to when explaining your plate's overall nutritional value. This is served with the traditional oyster sauce, the flavor adds to your sodium delight. * Noodle dishes galore: Lo mein, mystery mein, probably-other-mein. Carb enthusiasts, rejoice. The Mid-Light (We're Thinking About It) * Tiny crab rangoons: More "suggestion of crab rangoon" than actual rangoon, but still a crispy little detour. * Vegetarian sushi: A pleasant palate cleanser between ambitious buffet laps. * Hot and sour soup: Mushroom lovers, this one's for you. Mushroom neutral? You've been warned. * Pudding: A delightful way to end the meal and initiate the sacred post-meal "pudding process." * Fortune cookies: Slightly stale, but let's be honest -- destiny waits for no one, and this is hardly The Great Wall's fault. The No-Light Zone * Jello: Possibly a flavor not yet recognized by science. It bore the ripples of its can-shaped origin story like a badge of honor. * Peanut Butter Chicken: Do you wish you had a PB and J, but without the bread, and you substituted it with protein-packed fried chicken? Well, Cinderella, here is your missing slipper. * BoBo shrimp: A philosophical experience. Was it shrimp? Was it chicken? Was it both in a culinary identity crisis? We may never know. * Muscles: Yeah, we're in Maine, but you are likely pushing your luck with these guys. Save room for a second BoBo shrimp instead. * Egg roll: Dough-forward. Think "pizza roll that studied abroad." * Pizza: Skip this! You are at The Great Wall, not the house of Pisa. Cleanliness Overall tidy and clean -- especially impressive considering the steady flow of buffet warriors rotating through. Pro Tip * Ask for chopsticks -- they're available but not automatically deployed. * Knives are not included in the standard fork-spoon-napkin starter pack. Plan accordingly. * Hydrate throughout the meal. Tsingtao is the obvious choice, but in order to keep your sodium levels at Atlantic Ocean, and not the Dead Sea, drink water throughout the meal. Schedule a hydration and digestion window afterward. This is not a "quick bite" establishment. This is an event. Final Verdict The Great Wall in Augusta delivers what a buffet should: variety, value, and the opportunity to make questionable but memorable food decisions. Come hungry. Leave proud (and slightly horizontal).

That was provided by the service, staff attitudes, and generally welcoming and relaxing environment. Downsides for some might be the limited breakfast buffet (which was more than enough for me but some folks mentioned it within earshot). Also, no maid service due to the COVID pandemic, although a friend said that in the past they had to bring their own linens (truly). All of a traveler's needs were available through the front desk. Great bar service by the way and PS was located close to everything I needed to see and do. I plan to make this place a stop on an upcoming fall colors trip down the eastern seaboard for a night along the way.

So yes, you can get pan seared salmon with warm orange vinaigrette and roasted winter vegetables with a Jägerbomb, or spicy buffalo chicken fingers served under silver by white gloves. Saywha? Menu craziness aside, the food is simple and satisfying. The aforementioned salmon was a perfect medium rare and rocked a tacky, sweet glaze, and the Caesar salad (with 'chovies or without) is well dressed and loaded with salty Parm. For dinner service, Jeremie wanted our experience to be so magical, I felt he'd most definitely cause self-harm if we weren't 100% satisfied with everything. Especially those turnips. For the love of all that's snowy, please say you love the turnips. In all seriousness, he was great and the dinner service staff is on point. Breakfast is a bit more casual, but not without clever plating. Most folks opt for the $16 buffet, ripe with fruits, berries, cereals, made-to-order oms, meats and toastables, but for those looking for a single plate, ask about the a la carte menu. Entrees run $7-9 and are plenty hearty enough to energize your inevitable slope tumbling. A tick more costly than off-campus options, but more than perfectly acceptable if you're staying at the Mountain Club.

Rolled in on Sunday AM (not hungover, thank you very much) for their breakie buffet and was very…read morepleasantly surprised -- the spread included lots of cut fruit, muffins, bagels/toast, potatoes, eggs, bacon, pancakes, oatmeal, cold cereals, and a make your own omelette guy -- sure, none of it is super fancy, but everything tasted fresh and was refilled often. The coffee is drinkable black, the dining room was bright, and the staff is friendly (though slightly out of it). I think it's $16/pp -- which for any normal breakie buffet that's not a Shoney's (holler at my Southerners), is very respectable. Worth making a trip for? Neg. BUT, if you're staying at the hotel, it's a great option to have -- though I wish they stayed open later -- I think it runs until 9:30a/10a on the weekends, which isn't fully enough time for me to be as much of a fat ass as I desire.

The brick and wooden beam architecture from the old milll remains which provides such an aesetically pleasing atmosphere. It is great that this building has been able to be repurposed . We sat at the bar which is a full bar. My son dines here often and recommened some dishes he had tried. There were many dishes on the menu I wanted to try! Garlic knots were the first things out and they were very tasty and addictive. My son decided on the linguini carbonara, although not a classic carbonara dish, it remains one of his favorites. I tried it and it was creamy, indulgent, fresh, and the pasta was perfectly cooked. I chose the gnocchi with in house made bolognese sauce topped with ricotta cheese. I loved it and it tasted even better heated up the next day. Entrees come with a choice of soup or salad; he went with the salad and I had the homemade Italian wedding soup. We were both pleased with our choices. The portions were quite generous, service was on point all evening, and the entire establishment and restrooms were immaculately clean and well organized. Large parking lot, but heard it fills up fast at this popular spot. I highly recommend and look forward to returning.

They anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, which made the experience feel effortless and welcoming. The food was delicious as always. I enjoyed the simple yet perfectly executed fettuccine Alfredo, and my husband loved his eggplant panini. And of course, those garlic notes were absolutely drool-worthy!
