The Old Fashioned Drive-In Restaurant In Maine That Hasn’t Changed In Decades

Being in the present moment is all the rage these days. We get it. Mindfulness and being present can make each day a little bit more meaningful. But, we’re here to give you permission to spend at least some time living in the past. Especially when it comes to drive-in restaurants. This little spot reminds us of simpler times, when heading out for a burger and shake was all we needed to keep things entertaining on a Friday night.

Ken's Place has been around since 1927 and certainly shows no signs of slowing!

A local Scarborough favorite, this little spot transcends the notion of simple "drive-in" by offering the kind of seafood you might expect at a more formal-looking eatery.

The menu here is extensive, offering all the varieties of fried seafood you can imagine.

Of course no coastal Maine eatery is complete without offering lobster.

And the lobster meals you'll find here are not only huge, but also totally affordable. In fact, you might as well bring a friend!

In addition to seafood, they also carry a wide variety of things landlubbers will appreciate including hot dogs, hamburgers and chicken sandwiches with fries.

Ordering is simple, just head to the window!

While this might seem like any other drive-in at first glance you'll be pleasantly surprised to find that they also have a raw bar.

And the oysters are freshly shucked perfection.

Order up your favorite meal and head to the tables - either outside or under the awning.

And once you've had your fill wait a few minutes and make sure to get dessert!

Ken’s Place is located at 207 Pine Point Rd., Scarborough, Maine. They’re open Sunday through Thursday 11 a.m to 8 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Check them out on Facebook or give them a call on 207-883-6611.

For another great way to relive the glory days of the past head to this drive-in restaurant in Winthrop. It’s great fun and you can’t beat the food!
