Move over fancy dining with white tablecloths! As summer approaches, we’ve decided that all of our eating out should be casual, fun, and laid-back. That’s why we love this little drive-in. Serving some of the best burgers in Maine, this un-fussy spot offers comfort food and a way to relive the old days. Today, we’re all used to parking the car and sitting down at a table, but back when things were more simple you just met your friends at the local drive-in and spent the rest of the night catching up over fries. If you’re ready to spend your summer evenings like that, head to this local favorite.
