The Big Chief is what I had tonight and I was quite pleased. The sandwich was well filled and flavorful. The sides we ordered along with the different sauces were all on point. Staff is friendly and willing to offer suggestions. We will definitely be returning!

We were in Portland heading back to Bangor and decided to try them out. Boy, weren't we pleasantly surprised! Great staff and even better food! Definitely adding this place to our list of must stops.

The best gumbo!!! Don’t get there often enough!
