The hamburger potato skins are not good (basically home fries with a Big Mac on top) and the BBQ nachos are sub-par, not enough chicken or bbq sauce. 4/5 for the burgers and atmosphere. They also serve a pie of the day as a dessert when dining in, a cookie when taking to go, desserts are very yummy.

The chicken tenders are very good and the loaded fries are truly loaded. For those who like poutine they have many varieties. Dessert is simply placed im front of you no matter what you order. They also serve a very filling breakfast and one meat means one choice of meat, not one piece. I think they gave me 5 or 6 pieces of bacon. The toast is homemade bread and they give you homemade jam as well that you can buy there. They serve breakfast and lunch with a breakfast buffet a couple times a year. They also sell baked goods, homemade fudge, whoopie pies, and other baked goods, candy, and a multitude of locally made crafts and furniture. Definitely a must see!

Lots of options during the summer when the dairy bar is open. Great pizza, as well. :)read more

This crazy little convenience store/cafe is a treasure in the remote rural hills along the Canadian…read moreborder. I had the opportunity to explore for a week around Fort Fairfield, Maine, and discovered there aren't a lot of choices for lunch. But, that doesn't matter, 'cause this drive up cafe is legit! I ate two lunches at R&J Market, and was delighted with their food and service. The first day I had trouble deciding if I wanted a burger or a chili dog, and was glad to know they offered a small, child size burger, allowing me to also order the chili dog without looking like a complete food hog. And this problem occurred: The burger wasn't really that small. I swear it was at least a quarter pounder on a buttered and grilled bun, that was delicious and perfectly grilled. The chili dog was a complete surprise! It was one of those super red, super tender dogs that look like a hot link, but isn't. And they served it on a buttered and grilled bun that was AMAZING! The next day I ordered the lobster roll and something called a doughboy. The lobster roll was filled with large chunks of lobster salad with their secret sauce and served on those buttery grilled hotdog buns. I enjoyed it! And that doughboy? Well, it was like an elephant ear drenched in buttery goodness, topped with powdered sugar and cinnamon ... talk about a guilty pleasure! I felt as though I was a boy at the county fair! This diner does not have to be as good as it is, because there is little competition. But that's not who these people are. These are people who believe in equality their food and love seeing the customers return with satisfaction every day. #TodaysDiscovery
