Mainers know that local food here is the best you’ll find. From diners to BBQ to bakeries to fisheries, if you’re hungry in Vacationland, you’re in luck. While we surely know this to be true, it’s always nice to have a little bit of validation. Luckily, we’ve got it! The restaurants included here were all featured on an episode of a food-related TV show. Have you been to them all? If not, check them out here and start making plans to hit them all!
In addition to the stuffed lobster featured on the episode that includes a visit to Becky's Diner, this spot also makes a mean lobster roll. Head in for breakfast if you're hungry - the portions are huge. But, just make sure to avoid the early morning fisherman crowd if you want to get a seat. Becky's Diner, Nothing Finah! Visit them at: 390 Commercial St., Portland / 207-773-7070.

There's nothing better than a Maine whooopie pie and no place better to find the best than at Fat Cats. They've got the perfect cakey outside and each one is filled to the brim with cream. It's the perfect balance. Visit them at: 47 India St., Portland / 207-347-5144.
In addition to the featured Mushroom Miso Soup, we love the lunchtime Bento box. For just $20 you'll get the freshest sushi in the area all prepared based on the chef's recommendation. Visit them at: 468 Fore St. Portland / 207-871-9170.
There's a lot to love about Duckfat, but we're partial to their poutine. Perfectly hand cut Maine potatoes, covered in the perfect amount of gravy and curds make for an experience versus just a meal. Check them out at: 43 Middle St., Portland / 207-774-8080.
