There’s A Farm-To-Table Restaurant Inside A Former Maine Jail Garage And It’d Be A Crime Not To Visit

There's nothing we love more than celebrating the uniqueness of Maine! Whether it's a strange roadside attraction or simply a unique story about the state's past, there's a lot to love about appreciating the history here. If you've been a reader for some time you'll also know how much we love eating our way through this place! Combine history and food and we're in heaven! That's why we love this restaurant and think you will too.

Welcome to The Miller's Table in Skowhegan, where you'll find delectable farm-to-table food in a cozy-as-can-be atmosphere!

But more than just a cozy spot to enjoy a meal, this beauty is housed within the former garage bay of the renovated Somerset County Jail. Eventually it became a grist mill, which we love just as much.

This is also where you'll find Skowhegan’s Maine Grains gristmill. And the food is made even fresher with the Skowhegan Farmer’s Market located just outside.

The celebration of local foods and ingredients is on full display on their farm-to-table menu.

But don't mistake the food here for too "healthy." While everything will nourish you, there's plenty of punch in things like burgers and steaks.

Or, opt for something lighter and enjoy one of their incredible sandwiches.

Don't have time to stick around? Head to the market and get something to go!

Be sure to factor in time to enjoy the surroundings, as well as the history of this fun spot.

The Miller's Table is open Monday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Friday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. They're closed on Monday.
