Open Since 1924, The Waco Diner Has Been Serving Diner Fare In Maine Longer Than Any Other Restaurant

Maine is a wonderful place to be hungry! From local seafood shanties to top-notch awarded restaurants, there’s quite a bit to choose from. But what we’ve found most impresses people is just how long some of our restaurants have been around. In addition to great meals we have some serious history and this little spot offers one of the best examples.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/

The restaurant was established all the way back in 1924 and it's still operating in the same location as the day it opened.

Which means the food here has been perfected for over 80 years!

It's located right on the water, which means enjoying meals and drinks outside is a must during the warm months.

But, unlike some other restaurants on the water, the Waco Diner is open year-round. Which is a good thing because there's a good chance Mainers wouldn't be able to go all winter without a visit.
