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.

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

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.
