Endless Maine Restaurants

There's a laundry list of things that make Maine great -- the people. The wildlife. The nature. The coastal views. The lighthouses. The almost infinite amount of craft breweries. Moxie. Needhams. Whoopie Pies. And, of course, the cornucopia of delicious food created at various restaurants throughout the state.

Whether you're in the mood for brunch, breakfast food, pizza, burgers, steaks, seafood, or even gluten-free and vegan options, there's truly something for everyone with any palette scattered all over Maine.

Recently, in the Everything Maine group on Facebook, the Admin of the group just decided to have Mainers put it all out there and list their all-time favorite restaurant in Maine. So, whether you're a local that is on the lookout to branch out from you go-to spot and try someplace new, or a tourist looking for some of the best places to snag some local eats, these are the can't-miss spots for you!
