Restaurants near Howard Johnson Inn Bangor

This was a date night/staycation with my husband. And we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were surprised by the menu and how effortlessly it flowed. 100% would recommend to anyone willing to try something new and quiet!

The restaurant was amazing. The ambiance was perfect for nice date night. The service was amazing. The added features on the 2nd and 3rd floor of games is fun. The food was very good. We started with calamari which was good then I had the steak and my husband had the lobster seafood sausage stew. I think the steak was good but the calamari and the stew were excellent.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Kanu, to celebrate a good friend’s birthday, and it was an excellent experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting with an upscale decor. The food was beautifully presented, showcasing the chef's exceptional skill and attention to detail, and most importantly- delicious! The service was prompt and courteous taking care to address any questions and making us feel valued as guests. I would like to give special recognition to the chef who provided service that went above and beyond. Based on my notes when making the reservation, he took the time to research the sourcing of certain food to ensure specific dietary needs were considered. It's rare to find such a commitment to guest satisfaction and it truly elevated our dining experience. We are already looking forward to a return visit!

This was a random Monday evening so perhaps we can excuse the unbussed tables as the result of a slow night. We saw a grand total of 3 employees in the restaurant, and only one server for the entire dining room. That said, the food was about what you might expect from a chain pizza operation, especially given that we ordered their deep dish (not a very deep dish if you ask me) pizza x 2. Nothing very wrong, but the entire operation seemed tired. A little paint, some new decorative details, and some customers would be a great improvement. Not sure if we will be back or not.

We traveled over five hours from Massachusetts to check out a local college and stayed overnight in Bangor. My nephew loves BWW and it was a great time to relax with him after a long day. The food was perfect and the wait staff was great. Highly recommended
