Dig Into Hot Dogs And Seafood At Dunton’s Doghouse, A Roadside Stand In Maine

In Maine, you don’t need to travel far to find casual, delicious food for a good price. In fact, take a trip on any back road and you’re likely to run into an unexpected restaurant, roadside stand or even just a table with fresh eggs for sale. Maine is special for a lot of reasons, but this one might just be our favorite. If you love the roadside stands with fresh food, you’ll definitely want to give this one a shot. For a small place, they’ve got a big menu!

Dunton's Doghouse in Boothbay Harbor has been a fixture in the community since 1972 when Ed Dunton opened up shop. He eventually passed the business to his daughter who sold it to the current owner, Gary Starankewicz, in 1999.

Most things have stayed the same over the years, including the fact that Starankewicz has the kind of personality that keeps people coming back.

Well, his personality and the menu. It's far bigger than you might imagine from a road side hot dog shack. And that's because there's a lot more to it than just the dogs.

Of course, those are delicious. Whether you choose something simple like a plain dog with ketchup or something with a lot more toppings you'll be satisfied.

And the dogs always come out fast and hot!

We also love the fried haddock sandwich. It's just dripping in sauce.

Beyond the dogs, they've got plenty of Maine seafood including a lobster roll that's big on meat.

Once you've tried as much as you can in one sitting, grab yourself one of their whoopie pies and continue the day.

You'll probably find yourself planning what you'll order next time.

Dunton’s Doghouse is typically open every day from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. You can learn more about it in this article from the Boothbay Register.

There’s more deliciousness in store for folks if they head to Winslow, Maine! For more than 30 years, Big G’s in Maine has been satisfying sandwich lovers from all corners of the state.
