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.

Nearly 60 Years Later, This Family-Owned Maine Diner Still Knows How To Do Breakfast Right

A giant rooster sign stands outside this diner, and the building behind it began life as a cobbler shop. Then it sold fried chicken. Now it serves Lobster Benedict. That path makes sense once you hear the rest. The spot has been named the area’s Best Breakfast Restaurant 15 times. One family has run it since 1985, across three generations.

This Maine mountain has a 100-year-old tower and a view that inspired a famous poem

Camden Hills State Park spreads across about 5,500 acres in Midcoast Maine, just north of Camden, and Mount Battie is its crown.
