Bangor Spot Named One Of The Best ‘Theme Restaurants’ In The U.S.

We couldn't agree more!

"Eat This, Not That" is a health, nutrition, weight loss & recipe website, that is a great source for expert nutrition tips and health advice, covering wellness, healthy recipes, cooking hacks, food news, style trends and shopping.

When it came down to picking a restaurant in each state, that has the best "theme", they chose one in Bangor, stood out above the rest.

There are plenty of factors to consider when you choose a dining experience. Food quality, prices, and the location are usually at the top of the list. But in this case, the full experience is the real reason to dine, and that's why themed restaurants continue to be popular.

Timber Kitchen and Bar is locked in to their Maine "lumberjack" theme. The food and drinks are inspired by what lumbermen ate during their trips into the woods and people love to gather around the old school fireplace to stay warm, on a chilly winter night.

Timber has been described as "fancy dining meets the outdoors". And that is certainly the case, especially when you consider that they have outdoor dome dining in the winter months, and usually have a weekend or two, where they also feature an outdoor ice bar.

Timber Kitchen and Bar isn't strictly a theme restaurant, but it does draw inspiration from Bangor's rich lumber history. The restaurant's design and atmosphere are meant to evoke the feeling of a rustic, upscale lumber camp.

With the exposed wood, and earthy tones, you truly get a cozy, welcoming vibe. They mix it with a modern, sophisticated dining experience. It is a unique and interesting restaurant, that is great for a night out, or a special occasion.

Their menu features a range of dishes, from gathering boards and salads to delicious pasta, and entrees. You have to try their "Up to Camp" mac and cheese, it's a must!

Timber Kitchen and Bar also offers an amazing Sunday brunch menu, which includes their famous wild Maine lemon blueberry pancakes. Yum!
