    a hot dog and fries

    Update: Just went by for a quick lunch since I was in town...and they have Moxie. A quick survey of some of the locals (ok, my parents) shows the new fries are much preferred. They do not salt the fries because many of the older clientele have to limit their salt intake, but they have salt, a spicy salt mix and vinegar to douse the fries to your hearts content. I chatted with the new owner, a Marine vet, while his daughter took my order. They are involved in veterans issues, and raise money for local homeless vets. Their daughter sell high quality Bolleys T-Shirts. The wife and husband cook the fries and hot dogs. The place is a great local business that serves an iconic lunch.

    Hot dogs with ketchup, mustard, & onion (underneath) - so good!! & a small order of the hand-cut fries

    Maybe because I'm not a native Mainer, and I don't know about you, but the popular Maine "red" hot dogs kind of freak me out - I hadn't found a worthwhile dog in a while here... until now! They must be named Bolley's famous franks for a reason - the hot dogs are BOMB! I got mine with ketchup, mustard, and raw onion (which were layered nicely underneath the dog for the perfect bite). The buns are fresh and soft. The hand-cut fries are pretty good too. Quick counter-style ordering - only took about 5 minutes after I ordered there to receive my food. Super affordable prices & friendly staff.

    Excellent food and value. The French fries are the best much better straight cut. Crinkle cut fries are not as good.

We arrived early and found a spot in the very small lot they have next to the building. There were plenty of street spots open within walking distance as well. The whole area fills up starting in late morning, so I would plan your trip and know all of your parking options in advance so that you aren't driving 5 miles an hour down the road looking for parking. LOL There is usually a wait, so just be prepared for it. I was able to put our name on the list and we walked around the area. Our server was great - wow was she energetic. Zipping around, smiling and engaging with all of the customers. Our food was delicious!! The sticky bun...we managed to snag one of the last few left. Again, get there early if you don't want to miss out. The corned beef hash - amazing Biscuits - YUM Gravy - savory goodness. Home fries - flavorful and not too greasy. Eggs - perfect! I highly recommend this place and I hope to be able to return again soon, during the non-tourist season.

So firstly I would recommend showing up early or to expect a wait especially on weekends. Also related to this their space is quite small it can be a little chaotic with finding a spot to sit. Despite the small space they have made sure it is very beautifully designed and amazing vibes overall. Makes sense why it is so popular honestly. We snagged some of their outdoor seats and enjoyed the nice weather with our breakfast. They have a good mix of sweet and savory and talking to some others in line they said you honestly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. They have a great amount of coffee drink options too and when you order a large they are not lying, it is huge. I finished mine during breakfast but my wife and mother got theirs in a to-go cup before we left and looked like a normal sized large still. Food wise I felt like I had to try their Blueberry French Toast and it did not disappoint, great take on the dish. Only real complaint I could say is I would prefer a little thinner slice of bread so it can soak a little better but no real complaints. My wife got the Librarian Omelette (minus mushrooms) and it was large and jam full, they did not skimp on ingredients. Her only real complaint was some bacon was thicker than she prefers but again minimal. If you are looking for a spot to grab some delicious breakfast and/or coffee in central Maine this should be near the top of your list. From the overall vibes to quality of drinks and food you will likely have a difficult finding a better spot.
