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.

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.

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.

Owl and Elm is located at 365 Main St., Yarmouth, Maine. They’re open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. They’re closed on Sunday. Check them out online, or visit them on Facebook. You can call them on 207-847-0580.
