Waterville is one Maine city that surprises me each time I visit. There always seem to be new businesses, gorgeous renovations, new developments, vibrant entertainment, and of course great food in every part of the city. Having only personally visited a handful of eateries, I wanted to know what the food critic gods of the internet thought, so obviously, I went to Yelp.

I was surprised by what I found, not that I didn't think the food was fantastic, but because the top 5 spots offered quite a variety of options.
