This is Maine. A favorite of the locals. Breakfast and lunch.
The food and service is excellent. Ocean views and 200 feet from the Pemaquid. After consuming the best blueberry pancakes, wander outside and seat yourself on a bench overlooking the ocean and watch and listen to the ocean roll over the rocks below.

The site once contained a massive oyster shell heap or midden formed over a period of more than 1,000 years by Native Americans. The shells were processed for chicken feed in the late 1800’s, leaving behind just a fraction of the original mounds. Interpretive storyboards relate the history of the middens, their accumulation and destruction, and also share stories of the Upper Damariscotta River.
A swinging bench by the shore affords an ideal view of one of the largest intact middens on the east coast, the Glidden Midden, just across the river. A small loop trail through an historic orchard, once part of the Round Top Farm, provides access to all of these points of interest, and the short overlook path from the parking lot is handicapped accessible.
