Ahh, breakfast. Our favorite meal of the day! Here in Maine most people get excited for lunch or dinner, which can easily include copious amounts of seafood and local beer. But not us. We love those things, but there’s something about a big breakfast that perfectly sets up the day. With so many great early morning diners, it’s not hard to find a giant breakfast either. But, this place is a special. It’s a Maine drive-in that actually might be better known for their breakfasts. If you love pancakes, you’re going to want to stop in for some of the best in the state.
The next time you’re in the Farmingdale area, you’re going to want to make sure you’re awake and hungry in the morning. One of the best drive-ins in Maine is here and their breakfasts are almost better than the rest of the menu.
