When it comes to food, Maine might be best known for its seafood. From oysters to lobster to fish of all varieties, you don’t need to go anywhere else for some incredible options. But, while we love our seafood we also love a juicy burger when we’re craving meat. There are lots of places to find them, but this roadside spot might just be the best! And, it’s got history which means those looking for the quintessential Maine experience without seafood can still find it.
Harmon’s Lunch has been serving up the area’s best hamburgers since the 1960s.

And, when you consider how unnecessarily complicated life can be it’s nice to know that some things are still simple. Nothing says simple like a few booths with a wall lined in milk bottles.

Simpler still is the counter and menu at Harmon’s. It’s short and to-the-point.

In fact, the biggest decision you’ll need to make is whether you want your burger to be a single or a double. Oh, and you might want to add cheese so that might require some consideration.

The menu also includes hot dogs, grilled cheese, french fries and onion rings, so be sure to order everything. This will make things even simpler!

The burgers aren’t huge, but you’ll feel satisfied. There’s something about the way they’re cooked and the incredible bun to meat ratio.

Harmon’s Lunch is easy to find - it’s right between Falmouth and Gray - but it still offers an off-the-beaten-path feel. The simple building will make you feel like you’ve stumbled upon a hidden gem. But, secretly, this place is a local Maine celebrity!
