‘Burgers and Bad Decisions’ Coming to Bangor

  • Published

A new restaurant, Burgers & Bad Decisions, plans to open in downtown Bangor in early November at 68 Main St., the former home of Taste of India, according to the Bangor Daily News.

Owner Shianne Levesque hopes to fill a gap in late-night dining with hours planned from 5 a.m. to midnight, serving everyone from early-shift workers and first responders to families.

The menu will feature burgers, chicken tenders, and breakfast sandwiches and waffles available all day. Vegetarian options and nonalcoholic versions of signature drinks will also be offered.

Levesque, who has managed other area restaurants, wants to create a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. Plans include arcade games, discounts for first responders, law enforcement officers and veterans, and free kids’ meals on Mondays for anyone under 18.

A former employee of the Penobscot County Jail, Levesque said she understands how difficult it can be to find food after a long shift. As a single mother, she also hopes the restaurant will provide an affordable, comfortable place for families and community members to gather.
