If you’re looking for a flavor-packed adventure, Blaze Bangor is the spot to hit! On our recent visit, we dove into a pound of Thai wings that were pure dynamite—crispy, with just the right blend of sweet and spicy, and paired with a house-made ranch that was nothing short of spectacular. But the real star of the show was the Philly cheesesteak skillet. Picture this: tender, juicy beef, perfectly sautéed onions and peppers, and a generous layer of melted cheese that pulls you in with every bite. And just when you think it couldn’t get any better, two beautifully poached eggs top it off, adding a rich, velvety twist that took the dish to a whole new level of yum! Rounding out our feast was the Hangover Cure, a dish that lives up to its name by delivering comforting, hearty goodness when you need it most. Every bite felt like a warm, satisfying hug for your taste buds. With its vibrant atmosphere and a team that makes you feel right at home, Blaze Bangor isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience. Whether you’re in the mood for a bold bite or some classic comfort, Blaze Bangor brings the pep and the flavor in every dish. Can’t wait to head back and fuel up on more of their creative, mouthwatering eats!

This place has great food & service too! The lemonade is homemade and you can get strawberry or blueberry lemonade, delicious! The poutine (not pictured) is amazing, we dug in too quickly and no photo was taken.

I picked this restaurants because they had gluten free options and I love burgers. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside. Our waitress was super nice and made sure that my food was gluten free. My husband had a philly chees sandwich and I had a burger with bacon, egg and mozzarella. The gluten free bun was soft and delicious. The burger was tasty melted in my mouth like butter. Husband loved his food as well. We ordered lemonade as well, they were made with real fruit juice, the mango one was yummy. Unfortunately they don't have gluten free desserts but my husband loved his peanut butter pie. Looking forward to visit them again.

Early on a Saturday evening (430/5ish) No reservation, but luck was on our side. We were seated inside. There is outdoor seating too, but the skies were rumbling and it did rain while we were there. It was hot on the bar side. The restaurant side was cooler but warm. I appreciated the waitstaff's friendless. They offered samples of the beers before ordering. Good selection, great beer. I chose the McNalty (stout or port?). The pizza was delicious! We had a mushroom AND a pepperoni. We also had the wings. Cooked perfectly with a dry rub and we asked for the Thai chili sauce on the side. We got a small duck fat fries. It was plenty large enough for us all to have some. 2 adults, one 12 yo. We rarely have dessert, but their list of desserts looked so good we had to try! Bith were dedelicious. Chocolate cake and peanut butter ice cream cake on a graham.cracker crust. I doubt there are made in house..... but both were tasty!!

I feel bad giving this beautiful restaurant a 4/5. The ambiance was 10/10, drinks 10/10. I ordered a Painkiller, it was done to perfection. I also ordered crab cakes, OMG they were out of this world. The only two things that I didn’t like was the wait for drinks and food. My daughter beef tacos, they were so dry even after dipping them in the sauce that came with em. My friend ordered BBQ pizza, she gave it 10/10. Otherwise our waitress was great!

Best restaurant I have tried in Bangor! The food was excellent and the service was top notch. A great place for intimate dinners, family get togethers or even going solo. Parking seemed somewhat limited around the restaurant. There are spots around the area.
