Maine Diner, Family diner in Wells, United States.
Maine Diner is a classic American diner in Wells, Maine, with a long counter, booths, and tables lit by fluorescent lights and decorated with old photographs. The kitchen draws on produce grown in a garden on the property.
Brothers Myles and Dick Henry took over the diner in 1983 from Socrates 'Louie' Toton, along with its garden. Over the following decades, it grew into a recognized stop for locals and visitors traveling along the Maine coast.
The menu features dishes named after local figures, such as the El Tiante breakfast plate, named after former Red Sox pitcher Luis Tiant. This practice ties the food directly to the people and stories of the surrounding area.
The diner sits along a main road in Wells and is easiest to reach by car. Expect the menu to shift with the seasons, so dishes may vary depending on when you visit.
The signature dish is the Myles Henry Downeast Benedict, a take on eggs Benedict that replaces Canadian bacon with cod cakes, a nod to Maine's fishing traditions. It comes with home fries and hollandaise sauce on an English muffin.
