Rockland
The jerk chicken, beans and coleslaw are as wonderful as always at Up In Smoke BBQ. (Only plated some of it.)
Maine Kebab has now permanently closed its Waldoboro location and is focusing on the Rockland location. I got a small (!!) portion of their fried chicken which has a genius falafel coating. So good! And reheats well…
I have several times encountered random closures on days normally open or early closures or outages due to staffing and/or supply chain issues. Sad, handwritten signs on doors. Postings on FB. Is this true elsewhere or a (mid-coast) Maine phenomenon?
Owls Head General Store, as I mentioned earlier, is under new ownership and wow!! It used to have a very sad collection of merchandise along with a staggering number of beverage coolers and their amazing burger. Now it is a true general store, with basics of food and non-food items for renters (including a small area with single-dose OTC meds like at the airport, sunscreen and first aid items) but also very cool, often Maine-made, gift items, books, toys, kitchen stuff and so on. Plenty to look at while you wait for your burger! Of course that means no more indoor seating, just a few picnic tables. Oh and the new owner’s mom makes fudge (bottom of picture).
