We were completely blown away by Timber Kitchen. Honestly, this was the best meal we had during our entire trip through Maine and New Brunswick. We tried the lobster bisque, lobster mac & cheese, a burger with truffle fries, a wood-fired pizza, and finished with the homemade Maine blueberry pie from their in-house pastry chef. Every single dish was outstanding. The flavors, quality, and execution were exceptional from start to finish. The biggest surprise? It's located in a Residence Inn. Don't let that fool you--this is a destination restaurant in its own right. A special thanks to our server, Nick, whose recommendations were spot on. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely helped make an already fantastic meal even better. Hands down, one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time and easily the best food we had anywhere in Maine or Canada during our trip. read more

Amazing staff and meal. We sat outside because we had our pup and they brought her water. The food is amazing, I wish they were closer but if I am ever in Bangor I will be going back. Inside is beautiful you don't even realize it is attached to a hotel. read more

Good restaurant on the first floor of the Residence Inn hotel. Patio seating is great when the weather is nice. Good salads with fresh greens, citrus, salmon, and goat cheese. The lobster pizza was tasty, too, a good dish to share. Nice option if you are staying in the area. read more

Nothing to write home about. Lemonade and ice tea were good. Fish cakes were alright. Slightly above the fish tacos. They were a bit of a disappointment. Might not come back here. read more

My son and my husband both said if we lived closer we would come every week. But alas we live four hours away on Boston so it is not to be. My son had prime rib special and loved it. He said it was the best beef he has ever had in any form. It came wish mashed potatoes which he also adored. My husband tried the lobster bisque and the scallops entree. Both were delicious. I ordered spaghetti and it was delicious as well. In addition the decor is just stunning. It's not something I usually add to a review but in this case it warrants it! read more

I almost always love timber for their food and drinks. The only issue that lies herein is how they treat customers. My friend was threatened in this establishment and even tho he was a VIP customer, the restaurant provided zero support and wouldn't even call the cops despite claiming they did. read more

It is clear this is the "fancy" restaurant in town. Traveling for work our party of 2 were seating quickly and service was fast and efficient. Prime rib with mashed potatoes is what my co worker ordered and said it was just ok. I ordered the lobster bisque and it was a large size and VERY delish. I also got the crab cakes (for my meal) and they were just ok. If I make it back to this area of the state I would try again as many of the pasta and pizza options look yummy! read more

Good food, good service and I love eating outside. It's one of the best places to eat in Bangor.

Hotel restaurants don't always have the same allure for me, but this place was hopping and I can't say enough good things about it! Wonderful service, starting with hostesses and ending with the wait staff and clean up crew. Upscale dining, but not crazy prices. Complimentary bread and an extensive kids menu. It's so unusual to get to enjoy fine dining AND be able to find a kid friendly meal! Beautiful decor, comfy cushioned seats, clean and not spacious. Indoor and Outdoor seating. The blueberry cobbler martini was so pretty and tasted just as good. The fired pizza, seared scallops, and Mac n cheese were all above average. So flavorful! Highly recommend Timber! read more

Stopped here on our way after a long travel day+ & really glad we did. Kelsey was our server & took good care of us My son & I split the fish & chips because we weren't sure how big it would be... turned out to be the right call. We each got a huge piece of fish & it was honestly among the best fish & chips I've had. Light, crispy batter, flaky fish & not greasy. Just right with lemon & tartar. Paired it with a bottle of Sancerre that was a great match. My wife enjoyed the Scottish salmon salad. My daughter had the chicken tenders & fries. The tenders were good... the fries outstanding. We also started with the lobster bisque. Good flavor & worth ordering, even if the fish & chips stole the show... would definitely return read more

Food was great. Creamy lobster bisque, fish and chips, burger, drinks. Our first server was not good. Waited 40 minutes for waters to be delivered. They switched our server to Jax and it was a nice server recovery. I thought they would have comped us something for our experience. read more

I deal with food restrictions and the staff here were amazing with providing me a separate menu a s assuring I wasn't accidentally given food that would make me sick. The staff were very friendly and the food was AMAZING!!! read more

I've been to Timber twice, the food is excellent but pricey. The first time I was there was the end of June 15th with my girlfriend. I was however a little turned off at the hosts inattentiveness as he was on the phone for almost 5 minutes as we stood there unacknowledged, finally another employee took the phone. Our server was very nice and the food was great! We ordered an appetizer and my entree was a bit disappointing the pasta ( what little of it there was was swimming in sauce)The second time was on August 6th with my mother visiting from out of state, once again the host ( different guy) was off talking to either a friend or employee as we both stood there for about 5 minutes before he came over to greet us. When he asked if we'd like to sit inside or on the patio (it was around 85° outside) so I said inside would be good and he replied "are you sure", that was an instant turn off! The server was friendly, the restaurant was not busy the appetizer arrived with in 10 minutes, after we had finished it took a good 30 minutes for our entrees to arrive I saw the server talking with other staff then when the food (stuffed haddock) finally came it was lukewarm at best. The ambiance of the restaurant and the bar is very nice, wait staff are friendly and the food is very good. However I think the staff could be more attentive to the customer especially the hosts. This restaurant will run you between $50 - $80 per person . read more

If you are in the Bangor area, this a must-stop for you and your family. The decor has a very nice modern country style, but they bring some old school wood on the walls and the ceilings with a nice ambience of lighting. Your timing has to be impeccable as they do get busy quickly during lunch and dinner times. Surprisingly they do offer outside seating in the winter using these igloos style domes that are heated with nice lighting. I hadn't seen this before in the many spots I have tried. The food quality is amazing and is a farm-to-table as nothing appears to be frozen. Everything is made fresh and they have great oven brick pizza. You are going to pay typical prices for a hotel restaurant, but the quality and quantity of the food is well worth it. They say you eat with your eyes first and when they place your meal in front of you, your eyes will be amazed at the care that goes into the appearance of every dish that leaves the kitchen. Drinks are a bit on the pricey side and some are worth it, but their drink menu is quite larger and may seem overwhelming to some. My family and I had no issues with any of the food we had. The backed stuff cod had a nice flakey and flavorful fish along with the pesto risotto, alongside some blistered tomatoes and parmesan flavored green beans. The smokey tomato pizza was cooked to perfection and had a nice swirl of pesto creating an amazing experience in both taste and aroma. The BBQ ribs were fall of the bone and the bbq sauce was not too sweet for me. The ribs came with a pretty dense cornbread, vegan baked beans and a creamy corn succotash. They start you off with some bread of which one of them has cranberry in it and it tastes phenomenal. Even the butter has additional flavor with some chives in it. This place is a MUST stop for anyone looking for a farm-to-table atmosphere and want to experience some amazing food. read more

We travel for work and it's taboo to eat at a hotel restaurant so we were super skeptical- especially seeing how large the restaurant was upon check in Glad everyone recommended it, because it truly was great. Nice interior. We sat at the chefs table which overlooked their pizza oven & 2 other stations. Food was great- pizza looked AMAZING Steak frites were great- the butter definetly helped with the flavor, great size ribeye The lobster bisque was the only let down that evening as it was the one thing I was looking forward to eating since we're in Maine, beautiful presentation though slower service was a let down too but felt a little justified since they were busy. would come back! Trust the reviews on TripAdvisor- they're #1 for a reason- plus them leaving "write us a review on TripAdvisor" flyer with your check probably helps too! read more

The prime rib was one of the specials for the evening. It was excellent. I enjoyed every bite. It's been a few weeks since I have had this meal and I've thought about it a handful of times! Our server was excellent and did a wonderful job. I also enjoyed my Tiramisu. The piece was large and could be shared with another person. read more

They say everything is better with bacon but I guess they haven't tried lobster . The Mexican corn dip with lobster was the perfect way to start a meal then followed it with lobster bisque. We actually started with seasonal cocktails and the winter pear was the perfect combination of vodka, st. Getmain, and champagne. My daughter had a cranberry mule that was also very good. Love the decor (wish we could have experienced the igloos). Service was really great as well. Was super surprised this is in a Marriott Residence Inn, but it is a separate entrance. It was very busy on a Tuesday in March which says a lot. Glad we tried it on our visit to Maine after a long day of hiking in Acadia. read more

During our vacation in town, we decided to try this spot after reading the reviews, and I'm so glad we did. We started with the lobster elote dip--absolutely a 10/10. For mains, we had the lobster ravioli (delicious, but could use a touch of lemon for balance, so 9.5/10), the seafood chowder (7/10, since it was a bit light on seafood), and the pig pizza, which was a solid 10/10. We ended with the buckeye dessert--easily an 11/10, though we all wished it had a bit more marshmallow fluff, as they were pretty stingy with it. read more

I have eaten on many many occasions and up to last night I never had a bad meal last night I ordered the short rib. It's my favorite thing on the menu. But last night my first bite was a fork full of gristle. I found myself with a mouth full that I had to swallow. I didn't eat anything else after that. The waitress came by I showed her the plate and she went to request a discount. I am probably not going to be able to avoid eating here because in my circle it it's a regular. But will most definitely will not order nor will I suggest that particular dish. read more

This place is worth visiting. It is adjacent to the residence inn. It was really busy when we walked in without reservation. The staff was friendly and sat us outside immediately. Everything we tried was great with flavor and great with presentation. Drinks were tasty. Brussels sprouts were amazing. I got the seafood stew and it got great flavor and a kick. My daughter really liked her 3 pig pizza. It is a bit on the pricy side but the overall experience was great. read more

There weren't a lot of options in Bangor in Nov so we were pleasantly surprised by Timber Kitchen & Bar. While it is located in a Marriott hotel it doesn't feel like a hotel restaurant. We arrived without a reservation on a Friday night and the place was slammed, but we were seated at a nice table within ~10 min. Our server (Nolan) had multiple tables, but was hustling and we never waited long for anything. Drinks, food, ambience and especially service was 5 stars If I ever find myself back in Bangor in the winter I'd make a reservation for one of their super cool outdoor igloo tables. read more

The food. The service. The ambiance. All three were terrific! Reading other reviews I agree...was not keen on going to a hotel restaurant. Timber proved me way wrong. Also it made me think, maybe the hotel is nice too. When back in town I will have to check it out! And eat at Timbers!!! ~ArizonaFoodCritic25 read more

The place had great atmosphere and was alive. I was looking forward to it. I sat at the bar and ordered soup, oysters and fish and chips for my main course. The fish and chips came first. I was a bit surprised. Then during the middle of that dish came the soup and oysters. There was little room at the bar but the server jammed all the plates in making for a stressful situation. I felt I had to jam everything thing down at once. I could not really enjoy it. I will give it another try. read more

Highlights 1) Nice Ambiance 2) Good Food 3) Great for Groups I'm in Bangor pretty regularly and this is for sure my favorite spot in the area. The vibe is upscale north woods and the service is always on point! I've been here twice, both times with a group of 6 or more. The first time we had their private room which has a big table that can probably seat 10 - 15. This last night we had a big table in the bar area. Our reservation is always ready right when we get there which is appreciated. The food here is always great! I've done the roast chicken and a few of the appetizers. The menu has personality but enough basic items that you could bring anyone here and they will find something they like. Love this place! Will be back! read more

The last time I rated Timber was 9 months ago and it was a stellar review. What happened? The onion soup, previously scrumptious, was watery and lacked both flavor and croutons. The pasta that I had was flavorless and not appetizing. Some months ago, everything was super flavorful and a joy. So sorry Timber, you lost a good rating. read more

Was so excited to try this and overall, a bust. The lobster bisque for the size didn't equal the price, the chunks of lobster were decent but the bisque itself was a pass. The mini blueberry pie was pretty good, maybe better fully hot? I had to take it to go. Service for take out was pretty slow. The shining star of the menu was the Mexican corn and lobster dip - delicious! A lot of melted cheese on top so I took some off but definitely good. read more

Nice atmosphere, good service. Fish and Chips was right-sized, and the Seafood Stew was ok though the broth was a bit more relatable to pasta sauce and the dish seemed a bit short with 1/2 lobster tail, a few clams, mussels, scallops and shrimp. Honey Badger Mojito was good and called for a second round. Toasty hot temps near the fire pit. read more

We enjoyed our 35th wedding anniversary last night which was wonderful. Andrew our favorite waiter recommended the steak tips with mushrooms, mashed potatoes and grilled squash and zucchini which I enjoyed with a red glass of wine! This is our 5th visit and we plan to return as always something new to try and staff all works together for a lovely dining experience! read more

We ate here last summer and liked it well enough to return. The food is much better than most restaurants in similar hotels. Last year we thoroughly enjoyed the roasted carrot hummous served with fresh-baked flat bread and interesting accompaniments. On our recent visit I started with the smoked seafood chowder. It was a nice New England-style chowder, but I did not detect any smoke, no bacon, no shrimp. The menu said something about crumbled crackers which would have brought a nice textural contrast but they hardly detectable. The pea sprouts or microgreens garnish supplied a nice fresh pop. My wife loved her steak salad, full of fresh and cooked vegetables, varied flavors and textures. She offloaded the fried onions to my plate, but they were room temperature, chewy and not the slighest bit crisp. My fish & chips arrived piping hot and crispy. I'm not generally a fan of coated fries but these were hot, crisp, and well-seasoned. The fish was covered in a lacey, crispy batter and was pretty close to perfect. Service was friendly and efficient. read more

I was a bit surprised to find out that the restaurant is attached to Residence Inn. There was plenty of parking and we were seated right away when we arrived for an early dinner. The interior lumber theme was nice and the restaurant was cozy. I decided to indulge in a drink and ordered the Stoli blueberry fog. I was sold on this because it's topped with elderflower foam. The complimentary bread basket contained two types of bread with soft butter. For my entree, I was really craving a salad and went with the grilled steak salad. It was far from boring as there was a lot going on. I especially loved the different types of grilled mushrooms in the salad. The only thing is that I wished there were more mixed greens. Overall, Timber is a must if you're in Bangor. You won't be disappointed. read more

Went there on Easter 2026 The place was a complete shit show. The managers that was there for lunch were rude and just stood around. Several people just hanging around at the hostess stand. The Blond girl seating people "extremely " rude It's obvious they allowed more people in than they could handle . If you said anything they got angry and snapped back at you. We will never return read more

Just tried Timber Kitchen for the first time today and the results are mixed. Place was packed inside so we opted to sit outside. Weather was nice and waitstaff friendly and quick.,. At first. Our drinks arrived shortly but our appetizers got delayed. To help with our dinner we placed our order before our waitress left to get them. We got the Timber Tenders with the sweet bbq sauce and a side of ranch. When they arrived we found we had the Carolina bbq sauce (very vinegar). Thank goodness for the ranch! And then we waited for dinner. My wife's burger and my TKB dip were 40 minutes late. Still warm (not hot) and tasty but that's a long time. Turns out staff may have been stuck inside leaving those of us outside stuck too. My advice is unless you're very early or they are very dead don't go outside. read more
