Why People Go Crazy For This One Burger In Small Town Maine

We’ve heard people say for a long time that Maine’s seafood scene is better than any other. And, we agree. There’s no denying that summertime drives on the coast are made better by the many seafood shack and lobster spots that are hidden within the small towns. But, we propose that Maine start being known for burgers as well. There are plenty to rave about, but the one we’re telling you about today might be our favorite.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/

Located in Yarmouth, Owl & Elm might be the perfect corner "local" in Maine.

The inside is cozy and welcoming, with the kind of bar that makes a daily drop-in feel necessary.

And, while you can certainly treat it as the sort of place you drop in to for a snack...

The meat is a mix of ground chuck, brisket, and short rib all sourced locally from Maine Family Farms.

On top? On top you'll find what makes this burger truly shine. The right equation of steak sauce and smoked cheddar (also sourced locally, this from Pineland Farms) make the tastes in this burger truly come together.

Of course you'll also enjoy the typical toppings like tomatoes, lettuce, red onion and pickles.

And the basket of fries might be the best part!

Sure, sure if you're still stuck on seafood you'll find that here too. Is this the perfect Maine pub? Yes. Yes it is.
