Everybody says great food & people. I kind of agree because I have purchased some really good food here.I buy here very frequently.However, over the past year, most all of the orders that I have placed are either wrong, undercooked, overcooked or just plain gross tasting. By the time I get home with my meal, it's too late to return it. I have thrown out a large amount of these orders due to "wrong". Yet, I STILL give them the benefit of doubt and order meals. 1 or 2 out of 10 will be correct. I have to say at this point that there is "somebody"(s) in that kitchen that just doesn't like me.. tonight's request was a simple cheeseburger WELL DONE w/mayo. I took a big bite of that burger and it was 90% un cooked.very red. not very tasty at all. no mayo, but that's not an issue in my book. RAW tho Manager needs to check into this. Gonna lose monies. I've lost too much thru this store, so this money will be spent elsewhere -too hard to come by, and see it go in the trash. nuts. I do still have this cheeseburger. It's in a ziplock bag with original wrapper to preserve the "raw".Fix your problem Howland Handy Stop!! November 13, 2024

The last few times we have ordered pizza in the evening it taste burnt it like some kind of chemical. It hasn’t been good lately.

Impressed with what they have for a small store. A lot of pre-prepared food to 'grab and go' both hot and cold if you are in to that. Deli and fresh meat, produce, dairy, and other provisions. Egg rolls were good.

If you have a camp in the area and need something, check this place out. They have a good selection of everything from supplies to groceries that aren't outrageously overpriced for a convenience store. It saves a trip to Lincoln or Bangor.

They have everything here. From fresh fruits, to local ice cream, to fresh made pizza. The steak egg and cheese breakfast sandwich is literally the best I've ever had. They also just opened another Handy Stop out in Lee, about 40 minutes north of here. The owners of handy stop have a really good business plan it seems because it's definitely thriving in these smaller communities! Keep up the good work guys!!

An elevated version of your typical hometown store. You can really see the effort the owner and staff put in to making this place be comfortable and comprehensive in it's selection. They could do a bit better on the hot food (and the prices!), but regardless; both prepared and packaged food is always at a higher standard than you'd expect.

A newer addition to the store, is more grocery-type items. You can get full pork and beef roasts, steaks, prepared kebabs, and just about any meat product you'd like. This is an incredibly valued and welcomed addition to the store, as the nearest grocery store is about 20 minutes away. The prices on the meat aren't outrageous either, as one would expect. Between fully stocked spices, mixes, meats, deli, craft beer, and snacks, they save us a LOT of trips to Hannafords.

Keep up the great work, guys!

The new expansion of the store and offerings have really been a benefit to the community. I've ordered hot food regularly from this store and its always been delicious, not to mention affordable. The employees are also very helpful and have always treated me with respect. Overall great experience. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in Howland.
