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. 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, is sure to be one of your new favorites!

Located directly off of Old Country Road in Rockland you’ll find the most colorful takeout joint in all of Maine!

This little spot has been here for a long time, but it had new life breathed into it when it was taken over by locals, Joshua & Jessy Everett. Together they’ve created one of the best menus in the state, offering just enough to satisfy anyone but keeping it simple enough to be casual and fun.

Eating here is simple! Pull into the parking lot of the brightly colored building, order at the window and take your meal to the nearby tables.

But be prepared to take a moment to choose what you’d like to eat. The options here are varied. Hungry meat-lovers will enjoy the double cheeseburger with garbage fries.
