The Maine Burger & Fries That Foodies Say Are a Bucket List Must!

Craving the Ultimate Burger & Fries? Don’t Miss Maine’s Bucket List Pick!

Lovefood is a popular online food platform that provides recipes, cooking guides, food news, restaurant reviews, and meal planning.

They also make lists, which we love, so when it came down to choosing the best bucket list burgers & fries in each state, we just HAD to know what their choice for Maine was.

Lovefood based their choices on user reviews, awards and accolades, and their very lucky staff, who get to travel across the country to sample it first hand.

The Palace Diner in Biddeford is famous for its unusual setting, and the food served here lives up to the hype.

The cheeseburger, with Cheddar, iceberg lettuce, pickles, mayo, and mustard, is the go-to bucket list burger for Mainers.

"The Palais Royale"– with double smash patties, cheddar, shredded lettuce, pickles, special sauce, all on a sesame-seed bun, is as good as it sounds.

When it comes to the fries at The Palace Diner, they are crispy outside, fluffy inside, and are salted just right!

Best of all, they are never greasy, never under-seasoned...just delicious!

The place is so legendary, it was featured on Netflix’s Somebody Feed Phil, and praised by Reader’s Digest as Maine’s best burger.

Maine's oldest diner, the Palace Diner, in Biddeford, is housed inside an old Pollard railcar that was built in 1927. Today, it's one of just two Pollard railcars left in America, which truly does make this a one-of-a-kind destination.

At The Palace Diner, everyone sits and eats in one line along the bar, just as they would if it were still a working rail carriage. The crazy part is that there are just 15 seats!

They serve all-day breakfasts, including buttermilk flapjacks, omelets, French toast, and granola, as well as a short lunch menu featuring favorites like fried chicken and cheeseburgers.
