Maine has a wonderfully rich food tradition. Whether it’s heading out to a centuries-old restaurant or enjoying a home-cooked meal with friends, eating in Maine is an event and not just a necessity. But of all the meals we love in Maine, our favorites are the ones that keep us full all day. Luckily, there are plenty that offer huge portions and this is one of the best!

Those from out of state might think we're crazy for being so devoted to what is technically a truck stop. But, Dysart's is so much more than that to Mainers!

Dysart's began back in 1967 when David Dysart and his family developed a large menu for their new restaurant.

Family owned and operated, the meals here feel like they're straight from the heart. Imagine a grandmother who wants to make sure her family never leaves hungry and then you'll get a sense of what you can expect at Dysart's!

In addition to being large, the ingredients are also heart. A great example is this meatloaf sandwich with tangler rings!

And the waffle piled high with whipped cream.

And if you have a sweet tooth you'll be very well cared for. How about a giant sticky bun?

Or just get dessert and opt for the mocha chocolate chip ice cream pie! Whatever it is you order, expect it to be huge and absolutely delicious.
