Cole Farms

"Bright red weenies are a Maine tradition. At Cole Farms, you get one or two with a choice of pinto beans or pea beans. These are the pintos."
Michael Stern






"Chicken pot pie is an every-Wednesday special."
Michael Stern



"While it is now a large, sprawling restaurant with multiple dining rooms, Cole Farms maintains the feel of a cozy country diner."
Michael Stern



"Despite its name, American chop suey is actually more Italo-American than Chinese-American. For many Downeasters, this combination of soft elbow macaroni, hunks of beef, and mild red sauce is essential comfort food."
Michael Stern



"Cole Farms homemade pie repertoire includes apple, strawberry, chocolate, cream, lemon meringue, blueberry, custard, squash, pecan, banana cream, mince and this summery rhubarb pie."
Michael Stern



"We've never seen Grape Nuts pudding outside of New England, but it is a cafe-and-diner staple throughout the region."
Michael Stern



"Off the well-traveled coastal route, Cole Farms attracts some tourists but is primarily a place where locals come to eat: three meals a day, every day."
