It’s no secret that we love the food options in Maine. It’s also a well-known fact that everyone else loves it, too. There’s a good reason why the state has become known throughout the country as one of the best foodie destinations around. And while many people come here for the seafood, we appreciate that the options are actually far more varied than just that. Today we’re featuring a restaurant in the midcoast that’s notable for its unique comfort food and we think you’ll love it!

To say that Sammy's Deluxe, located in Rockland, is a unique addition to the Maine dining scene would be a bit of an understatement.
