Silly’s Restaurant is Returning But Not in Portland, Maine

It's been an awfully rocky road for Silly's Restaurant over the past few years.

Back in September of 2019, most people were shocked by the announcement that Silly's Restaurant was saying goodbye, leaving behind three decades worth of memories as the owners had reached a breaking point. But in that goodbye, Silly's left the door open for a return, and 14 months later, the restaurant did just that.

But once again, Silly's said goodbye to the sit-down, brick-and-mortar restaurant life in March of 2022 after their lease was up in Portland. Silly's decided to pack it in and try a new venture, a food truck.

For the past two years, that's exactly what Silly's has been. A food truck that you can find here or there, serving up many of the favorites that made the restaurant a three-decade favorite in Portland. But life on the road isn't all it's cracked up to be and Silly's is once again ready for a permanent home.

It just won't be in Portland, Maine. In a Facebook post, Silly's has announced that their new location will be in Standish. And instead of worrying about the rent going up or leases running out, Silly's bought the building they're going to operate in.

In the short term, Silly's will continue to operate in food truck form in the parking lot of their new location at 131 Ossipee Trail West. Silly's hopes to have the build out and licensing for the new restaurant done before the new year.
