SO.SO.GOOD!
The drinks are a bit pricey but the dumplings are amazing and reasonably priced. The Kung Pao Chicken are my favorite. If they have pork buns, I'd suggest those too. Oh and the asian slaw and the smashed cukes. You can't really go wrong here. Cute little place.

Take out and bring home for a quiet night in or pick one up and take it with you to Mast Landing Brewing Co. (right down the street). Nothing better than a nice cold beer with your pizza! Cash only.

Home cooked food at reasonable prices. I've liked everything I've tried. The fish and chips are awesome and the Sunday Brunch is amazing. I love the home-made corned beef hash and the bloody mary is just horseradish-y enough.

If you are visiting Maine you MUST try an Amato's Italian Sandwich. - Get it to go and enjoy it on the deck at home.
You'll need lots of napkins. :)

The Whoopie Pie is Maine's official snack. If you have never had a whoopie pie and you are in Maine, don't leave the state without trying one. If you are going to try one, you might as well try the BEST one. If you can't make it to Freeport, you can find one at any local Hannaford.
