There are plenty of places to enjoy a great meal in Maine. While the state has been named as one of the best for food anywhere in the country, we tend to prefer the spots that fly under-the-radar. These are the places where Mainers have been serving food for decades, perfecting their recipes along the way. Today we're featuring a great example located in Androscoggin County.
KP's Place in Auburn is the kind of place you might miss if you don't know what you're looking for. But the reality is that they might offer the best fried chicken in Maine!
Just like the outside, things inside are simple.
If you're not sure where to start, we recommend the baskets. The fried chicken option is fantastic, especially with fries.
And the food here is affordable, which means getting a burger alongside your basket is almost mandatory.
Other basket options include tons of seafood items like scallops, shrimp and clams.
We love that everything can be taken to go.
And, if fried food isn't your favorite you can always enjoy a tried-and-true Maine lobster roll!
KP's Place serves the best fried chicken in Maine, but don't just take our word for it -- visit yourself! This restaurant is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. You can learn more about them and see lots of irresistible photos of their food by following them on Facebook.
