Taking the backroads in Maine is one of the best ways to get to know the state. From the windy routes through the woods to the ones that come off of US-1 near the coast, there’s nothing more calming and pretty than a drive through one of the best states in America. We love the scenic views that come with one of these drives, but more often than we can count it’s the food we’ve found along the way that stands out in our memories. This spot, located in the midcoast, stands out as one of the best takeout joints in Maine. And, It’s certainly going to be one of your new favorites!
