Maine is a wonderful place to be hungry! From local seafood shanties to top-notch awarded restaurants, there’s quite a bit to choose from. But what we’ve found most impresses people is just how long some of our restaurants have been around. In addition to great meals we have some serious history and this little spot offers one of the best examples.
