We all know that eating out in Maine is special. We have access to the small burger joints at the side of the road as well as some of the most highly rated restaurants in the country. There’s literally an option for almost every budget, mood, and outfit! When you can choose from nearly anything, the most unique options truly stand out and today’s featured spot is one of them. It’s a restaurant, sure. But it’s also an airfield which means you’ll probably want your meal to last as long as possible while you take in this super-cool view.

The Pilots Cove Cafe in Sanford offers great food in a super-fun setting.

As you might imagine, this isn't an airport serving large jets so you won't need to worry about thunderous sounds. The planes come and go while you enjoy a great meal and experience proximity to planes that you won't find anywhere else.

You might find yourself torn between what to give your attention to. The planes or the incredible food sitting in front of you. Their burgers are top-notch.
