This Tiny Shop In Maine Serves Cheesesteaks To Die For

Summer in Maine often means fish – both fresh and fried – as well as the ubiquitous lobster roll. While you can’t call it a Maine summer without indulging in something freshly caught, there are a ton of foods throughout Vacationland that are worth checking out. This summer, consider branching out and trying different foods…like cheesesteak! But not just any cheesesteak. This tiny restaurant might have the best version in Maine and we bet you won’t even miss the lobster.

In a state where crustaceans reign supreme, it's a special occasion to find something as uniquely different at The 5 Spot in Portland.

Occupying an unassuming space in Portland for a little over a year, owners Keith and Rosetta have created a perfect place for customers and pop-in and grab the most authentic Philly cheesesteak this side of Massachusetts.

Keith uses nothing but the best in the form of Cheez Whiz, the only REAL way to make these.

And they're affordable - hence the name "5 Spot."

There are a variety of versions you can get, but things are kept simple for the most part.

To order authentically, the only thing you really need to tell Keith is if you want your "wiz" (with Cheese Wiz) or "wiz wit" (Cheese Wiz with onions, too.)

The 5 Spot also makes homemade soups and sandwiches made with hand carved ham and turkey.

If you're lucky you might walk away with this "Killer Colossal Club Sandwich" special.

They also might serve up the best breakfast sandwich in all of Portland.

This one features four slices of Taylor Ham, two fried eggs and American cheese on a grilled hoagie roll.

The 5 Spot is located at 935 Congress St., Portland and they’re open from Monday to Saturday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. You can call them on 207-536-1430. Follow them on Facebook for more fun and news. And, check out their review in The Bollard!

Finish your meal with something that IS a Maine summer classic: ice cream! This place has the biggest portions you’ll find and they’ve got locations all over the state.
