College Prowler Take
Restaurants in the Lewiston-Auburn area run the gamut from awful to really good. The favorite is definitely DaVinci’s, which has a great atmosphere, delicious food, and more than reasonable prices. During Parents’ Weekend, the wait for a table at DaVinci’s can get up to two hours long. Chopsticks Chinese restaurant has a very classy dining room and decent food. Margaritas is also often frequented by Bates students. Students who are under 21 go for the food, and students who are of age go for the food and the moderately priced mixed drinks. Another very popular restaurant among Batesies is Russell Street Variety, which is about a two-minute walk from Adams Hall. Students can phone in orders and walk over 15 minutes later to get cheap and delicious pizzas, calzones, or subs. Domino’s and Papa John’s, the two pizza delivery places in the area, are popular, especially late at night. Lewiston’s restaurants are decent enough, but for real options in dining, most students go to Portland, which boasts a number of ethnic restaurants that Lewiston lacks. Japanese restaurants, in particular, are frequent destinations for Batesies in Portland. In Lewiston itself, there are a couple of 24-hour places: Dunkin’ Donuts and Denny’s. These two restaurants, especially Dunkin’ Donuts, which is a 10-minute walk from campus, are frequently filled with semi-drunk Batesies, wolfing down breakfast food at 2 in the morning. Some caffeine addicts are on first-name terms with the staff at Dunkin’ Donuts or Tim Hortons, a similar chain. Often, students eat at off-campus restaurants as a break from the dining hall, and there are enough restaurants in Lewiston to suit most tastes and wallets. Students Speak Out

Most restaurants are not within walking distance, but there are plenty within a 10-mile radius. There's lots of price and cuisine variety, from Thai, Mexican, Chinese, pizza, pubs, and nicer restaurants for parents' weekend, dates, or a nice dinner with friends. There are also lots of delivery places.

There are surprisingly a lot of pretty good restaurants in the Lewiston/Auburn area, and most are relatively cheap. Plus, Freeport, Brunswick, and Portland aren't that far away.

There are a lot of good restaurants in Lewiston and some that are worth skipping. Lewiston has excellent Thai food—I love Thai Dish. Some other good restaurants in the area are Fishbones, Fuel, and Espo's.

There are a lot of great restaurants in the area—from your standard American diner to Thai food. Unless you go to one of the Italian restaurants, the food is reasonably priced. There are a couple of popular restaurants within walking distance, such as Luigi's, which has great spaghetti calzones; Thaijaerian, the newest Thai place in the area; and Guthries, where you can go for paninis, a glass of wine, and live music. There's always the option of delivery—Thai food from Thai Dish and pizza from Papa John's are probably the most popular.
