    THE JEFFERSON MARKET AND GENERAL STORE DINING AREA JEFFERSON, MAINE
    Beth C.

    I saw this establishment featured on Maine Street Saturday (WCSH 6) and vowed to check it out if I was ever in the Jefferson, Maine area. How fortuitous to have been in the region lately and stopped in for lunch. The market/general store offers breakfast, lunch, freshly made pizzas, salads, and classic favs like reubens, wraps, quesadillas, BLTs and grilled cheese. I ordered the Fire & Rescue consisting of freshly grilled buffalo chicken, lettuce, tomato, mozzarella/cheddar blend, & ranch on a toasted sub roll ($12.50). This sandwich was MASSIVE, shareable for sure!! This sandwich was expertly executed and an absolute FLAVOR BOMB!! The sandwich contained a huge amount of juicy grilled chicken with homemade buffalo sauce. Yum!! The general store features sundry items, including camping essentials, snacks, drinks and so many other necessities for the community. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, and the ambiance quintessential Maine. This was a great overall experience. This is a must visit if in the Jefferson area. I cannot wait to return!!

    We found ourselves in Jefferson this week while doing some antiquing. We stopped into this roadside market. It was a cute, bright and clean establishment. They have many provisions for the locals and those passing by. They have a central kitchen with many great options. The dining area had a great eclectic and comfortable feel. We split a buffalo chicken sub. The sandwich was a foot long and loaded with chicken. The bread was the perfect consistency to be toasted without being too dry. The chicken was seasoned with buffalo sauce which had great flavor, mildly spicy though just a little over salted for my taste. It had good tomatoes and lettuce all drizzled with ranch. Overall a solid 9.8 out of 10. We did splurge and split a brownie which was moist and hit the spot. There were about 4 people working in there and all were professional. They put out good products and take a lot of pride in their workplace. If you find yourselves in the area you should stop in!

    2 eggs over easy, potatoes, ham, and a Chase Farm English muffin.

Bummer they don't open until May 6, two days from now. Continuing our drive north we came across the famous Moody's Diner that's known for their pies & down home cooking. They cook their own turkey so a turkey club is a must. For me it was either a 1/2 # lobster roll or a Percy burger with Swiss, onion & mushrooms. The burger was the juiciest burger I've ever had & I had a hard time getting it around my mouth. I managed to eat 3/4 of it & took the rest back to our B&B for later. We also had a side of awesome onion rings. If you've never been go eat & enjoy Maine cooking & hospitality. A factoid: They serve over 55,000 pieces of pie a year. Off to Whitehall B&B to rest up, go sightseeing & have an extraordinary dinner the night before our 37th anniversary. I forgot look at the size of this oatmeal raisin cookie we bought. Biggest cookie I've ever seen. BTW: Kris ordered a slice of strawberry rhubarb pie, she didn't like it. I passed on dessert.

These historic must-stop stays busy all year round with patrons of locals and tourists alike. You walk in and you'll see history and family photos. We've been driving here for many years and never stopped, and today we finally did! We came in at 1:15 p.m. and there was still a wait, around 20-30 minutes. We were going to have their famous dishes but opted to get breakfast instead. I enjoyed my 3 eggs over easy with sausage and a side of bacon, and BF had his with ham and blueberry pancakes. You can never mess up breakfast, which we are looking forward to going back and trying other dishes, specifically the biscuits and gravy, my ultimate American comfort food, and I'd be the judge. The server was nice and attentive, and breakfast came out in 10 minutes. Prices are reasonable.

We arrived early and found a spot in the very small lot they have next to the building. There were plenty of street spots open within walking distance as well. The whole area fills up starting in late morning, so I would plan your trip and know all of your parking options in advance so that you aren't driving 5 miles an hour down the road looking for parking. LOL There is usually a wait, so just be prepared for it. I was able to put our name on the list and we walked around the area. Our server was great - wow was she energetic. Zipping around, smiling and engaging with all of the customers. Our food was delicious!! The sticky bun...we managed to snag one of the last few left. Again, get there early if you don't want to miss out. The corned beef hash - amazing Biscuits - YUM Gravy - savory goodness. Home fries - flavorful and not too greasy. Eggs - perfect!

This cozy breakfast and lunch spot is popular with locals and visitors, so you'll likely have to wait for a table. It is definitely worth the wait, but If you're in a hurry, check to see if a seat is available at the counter. Service at Home Kitchen is warm and welcoming, and you're in for a treat if you're lucky enough to sit in Zan's area (short for Suzanne). I couldn't decide between a tuna sandwich or a grilled cheese, and she suggested combining both into a tuna melt. Brilliant! Along with a shared order of large fries, it was a tasty and filling lunch. The best part? All of it was gluten free! Home Kitchen bakes their own GF bread and pastries, and they are far superior to grocery-store GF baked goods. Even though we were sated from lunch, Zan encouraged us to order dessert, since they had a GF chocolate cupcake with salted caramel frosting. On her recommendation, we got two cupcakes to go - a GF chocolate cupcake for me, and a pumpkin cupcake with maple cream cheese frosting for my friend -- which we enjoyed later in the day from the comforts of home. Wow. Super delicious. More please!

The server offered to bring out fresh home fries. then the front of the house manager brought our bill and discounted the tab greatly. He was very apologetic. We definitely would go back based on this customer service. Worth mentioning, there is a side entrance that is handicap accessible (the main entrance on Centre Street has steps leading up to it). But if one wanted to go to the bakery counter from that entrance, there are a few steps to get to that level.

I think the space is very cozy, with an open kitchen and wood tables and bar. The cute little market in back is wonderful to check out before or after your meal. The staff is absolutely wonderful. So kind and making recommendations along with answering any questions you have. I think for the price of food you are really getting a great deal. Everything is made fresh in house from scratch which you can watch when you sit at the bar which i did. Watching orange juice wbu freshly squeezed and the donuts being put together from absolute scratch. The burger is definitely a great choice, I couldn't get over the house cut fries and the alna sauce was wonderful to dip them in. The burger was juicy and delicious and paired perfectly with the Volcanique red they had on the menu. My mother ordered the grits and eggs, this dish was cooked perfectly and had a house made salsa verde. The side of sourdough is a must get for shareable side. The house made jam was spectacular - they make every sauce and dip and spread in house and you can really tell. It elevates the meal so much. The drinks were a bit overpriced in my opinion but as someone who lives in Portland i wasn't surprised they were priced that way. The standout from the meal was definitely the sour dough donut. This was fried fresh to order and we had the seasonal flavor that was lime glazed and it was absolutely breathtaking! The crispy exterior with the fluffy inside was perfection - you have to order this. I definitely will need to come and check out dinner here. Highly recommend making the trek out!
