Best Ski Resort for Eating Out in Maine: Sunday River - Eating Out Rating
Dining at Sunday River gets strong approval from our Snomad community. The resort features multiple eateries spread throughout the mountain, making it easy to grab food or drinks wherever you end up. One user particularly loves the local beer scene, describing the après and food options as "top notch." The main lodge fills quickly on weekends, but there are plenty of alternatives. While some find on-mountain prices a bit steep (with beers around $8-10), the nearby town of Bethel offers family-friendly food options. Several users mentioned enjoying live music on weekends, adding to the overall dining experience.
#2 Sugarloaf - Eating Out Rating
Sugarloaf offers a solid dining scene that complements a day on the slopes. Our reviewers mention several standout spots, with The Bag, Brickyard Hollow and The Rack (slightly off-mountain) receiving particular praise. The village area functions almost like a small town with plenty of restaurant options. One Snomad community member liked the food quality in the village, calling it "great," while others appreciate the variety available. Though the resort's remote location means options aren't endless, what's available impresses most visitors. The après scene also gets high marks, with users noting the authentic ski town atmosphere and lively bar culture.
