This Maine Steakhouse Was Picked As One Of The Best In The U.S.
When The Food Network talks, we listen!
The Food Network is a popular American cable channel that focuses on food, cooking, and lifestyle programming.
Launched in 1993, it has become a leading destination for food enthusiasts.
The Food Network features a wide range of programming, including, cooking shows, food competitions, food & travel destinations, and reality TV shows.
Shows like Chopped, Beat Bobby Flay, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and Man Vs. Food, have become iconic parts of the culture in the last several years.
When it came down to choosing the best steakhouse in each state (that is a job I'd like!) whittling it down to just one in Maine, could not have been an easy task, but when the dust settled, one destination stood aboove the rest.
Bullwinkle's, located at 2919 Atlantic Highway, in Waldoboro, Maine, is a family-owned steakhouse, serving delicious American cuisine in a casual and relaxed atmosphere. They're known for their generous portions and reasonable prices.
Bullwinkle's opened in Waldoboro in 1992, as a family restaurant known primarily for its seafood.
Todd Mank, a self-described "steak-and-potato guy", took over the restaurant in 2006, he added more steaks to the menu and steadily built Bullwinkle's reputation as THE local steakhouse.
The restaurant is known for their "Cheers" like vibe. The locals gather at the tavern for drinks and a round of pool, and people love to crowd the dining room to celebrate special occasions and feast on fan favorites such as the teriyaki-marinated hanger steak.
Being located near the Maine coast makes it a tourist hotspot during the summer, when people dine not only on their steak, but on Maine lobster dishes too.
Here are a few menu highlights:
Ginger Teriyaki Hanger Steak
Prime Rib
Steak Tips with Bourbon Glaze
Seafood Linguine
Crab Dip appetizer
