If you started naming the ‘most Maine things,’ it wouldn’t take long before a certain truck stop restaurant came up. Sure, Stephen King, blueberries, and lobsters might top the list, but that truck stop—a place even SNL has parodied—wouldn’t be far behind. It’s more than just a pit stop; it’s a Maine staple where people go out of their way to enjoy some of that famous ‘buttery, flaky crust.’

So, with that being established, which truck stop in Maine has the best food and is considered one of the best in the country?

According to LoveFood and their recent list, ‘The Best Truck Stop Eats in Every State,’ it’s no surprise that Maine’s top pick is Dysart’s Restaurant & Truck Stop in Hermon, along with their Broadway location in Bangor. LoveFood had this to say about their selection:

Dysart’s Truck Stop is a favorite in The Pine Tree State. Top menu picks include the bestselling chicken pot pie and meatloaf and there’s also poutine and hot sandwiches. You can pick up some sweet treats for the road from the bakery too: choose between chocolate cream pie, whoopie pies, and cookie platters.
