Located close to Maine’s second largest city, the University of Maine in Orono is the University of Maine’s largest campus with over 11,000 students. University students can often be found out late looking for food other than the school’s dining halls. Orono and the surrounding towns offer hungry students a variety of tasty delights.


Woodman’s Bar & Grill, Orono, ME

Woodman’s Bar & Grill was opened in 2005 by former UMaine students. With delicious pub fare like chicken strips and fries, burgers, and Buffalo chicken sandwich, there’s no question why students love Woodman’s. Since the food prices are affordable, students can also afford the in-house brewed craft beer by Orono Brewing Company.
