2 Best Restaurants in Millinocket, The North Woods

Yummy, freshly prepared to-go fare includes pizza, breakfast and regular sandwiches, and house-made baked goods at this cabin-style "last stop" for gear, supplies, and gas before Baxter State Park. Quality Maine-made gifts and souvenirs, Baxter and Mt. Katahdin art and attire, and Maine- and park-theme books are tastefully arrayed; gear basics, packaged wine and beer, and grocery essentials are also sold.

At the deservedly popular restaurant at the New England Outdoor Center resort—serving lunch and dinner, and breakfast too in winter and summer—wood for the trim, wainscoting, bar, and floors was milled from old logs salvaged from local waters, and diners enjoy views of Mt. Katahdin from beyond rows of windows or the patio. Many dishes feature local ingredients; for dinner, entrees join offerings like sandwiches, tacos, and fish and chips.
