This Maine BBQ Restaurant Serves A Massive Feast With Seven Smoked Meats And Six Sides

One platter here carries all seven smoked meats, over three pounds of them, plus six sides. The kitchen even gave it a name that sounds like a warning: The Meat Sweats. That lineup includes prime brisket, burnt ends, pulled pork, house sausage, chicken thighs, pork belly, and a half rack of spare ribs. Then come collard greens with pork croutons, chili, mac, slaw, beans, and tiny cornbread muffins.

This No-Frills Maine Seafood Shack Serves Generous Platters Worth Every Penny

A lobster banh mi sits on the same menu as fried clams and clam chowder. That one sandwich tells you a lot about this spot. The family behind it brings Vietnamese roots to classic Maine seafood. So you can order a fried platter, then add pork spring rolls or seafood ramen on the side.

This Small Maine Restaurant Earned National Recognition And Its Food Is Worth The Trip

A railroad-style dining car built in 1927 has only 15 seats, yet it keeps landing on national best-restaurant lists. Yes, a diner smaller than some living rooms is beating out big-city dining rooms. The outside still carries an old sign that reads Ladies Invited. Inside, the counter turns out lemony...

This Maine Restaurant Inside An 1850s House Serves Old-Fashioned Shepherd’s Pie And Homemade Comfort Food

Homemade pop tarts. Whoopie pies. Pickles made from a grandmother’s recipe. All of it comes out of a yellow house built in 1850. That house now holds a cozy little restaurant in Maine. A brother and sister run it, and they cook from family recipes. The menu stays short on purpose, built around shepherd’s pie, mac and cheese, and chicken and biscuit.

This Maine Bagel Shop Opens Before Most People Wake Up And Keeps The Breakfast Crowd Coming

The ovens here were upgraded to bake 64 dozen bagels at one time. That’s a lot of dough, and the doors open at 6 AM every single day of the week. I love the thought of that. While most of Maine is still hitting snooze, somebody is already boiling bagels and setting out fresh pastries. The bagels get boiled before baking, the old-school way.

8 Northern Maine Restaurants Where Poutine Is Worth The Winter Drive

At one diner near the top of Route 1, you can order poutine for breakfast. Not after lunch. At sunrise, with coffee, while snow piles up outside. That detail alone made me curious about how far north the poutine habit runs in Maine. The answer is pretty far. Up near the Canadian border, fries with gravy and cheese show up next to ployes, chicken stew, and fried haddock.

This 1800s Maine Bank Is Now A Bakery With Homemade Lunches And Beautiful Cakes

The old bank vaults now keep cake ingredients cold instead of guarding cash. Honestly, I can’t think of a better promotion for a vault. This building dates back to around 1864. Today, it holds glass cases of eclairs, cream horns, whoopie pies, and fresh breads. Original safety deposit boxes still hang around like they never got the memo.

This Maine Restaurant Serves A Daily Indian Lunch Buffet With Curries, Biryani, And Dessert

An old office building that spent about forty years full of desks now serves biryani every single day. That’s a career change I can fully support. The lunch buffet runs seven days a week, starting at 11 a.m. The kitchen cooks from scratch and brings its spices in straight from India. Fresh naan comes out of a clay oven too.

These 10 Hidden Italian Restaurants In Maine Are Local Favorites For Cozy Fall Evenings

Pasta now gets served in a Maine dining room that once sold hardware. I love that swap. Nails and wrenches out, meatballs and chicken parm in. Another spot on this list sits inside a converted mill. Two others feature a fireplace inside. One even makes its own gelato, which feels like a smart move after a big plate of rigatoni.
