Ahh, the sign of a butchers cleaver. I am not sure what this provokes in most people, but as I've said before, Stephen King gives me the heebie-jeebies. So for me, the butcher cleaver represents something tasty--except for when the shmuckabaloos haven't a clue what they are doing. Fortunately, this tasty little joint, Miller's Market up in Gorham, Maine, knows what they're doing! I'd been cruising the highways, riding the coast of Vacationland for some time now, and somehow, someway, ventured a bit further inland. Once I saw the burnt-orange cleaver in the window, I knew I'd have to give it a try and see if these hullabaloos knew what they were doing. I was greeted with a "Hey, how you'rrrr doin'?" The soft, rolling extension on the r made me feel right at home in Maine. Jeezum crow, you Mainers speak funny. But by golly, you are a lovable bunch of hillbilly farmers and fisherfolk. Anywho, I ordered myself a chicken Caesar wrap--wanting to feel nourished, but not to the point of comatose. Salad in a wrap--a genius way to feel healthy. Mind over matter. "Hand-cut fries or hand-cut chips?" the counter guy asked me. Now, I love a fry, but I'm feeling crunchy in these overcast late-April days. I hesitate, and somehow this mind reader behind the counter could sense it. "I can see you want the chips, but you gotta try these fries. Why don't I give you a little of both?" he says to me. Now I'm looking at him cockeyed--just another Mainer who seems to be able to read a man's soul. Well, I am here now--no turning back. And then my eyes widen when I spot a tasty crème soda in the fridge next to the register. My lucky day. Crème soda--the most underrated of all sodas. What's not to love? Creamy and poppy all in the same bottle. This guy seems nice, and I am in no rush, so I say, "Hey, throw it on my tab. I'm going to be a while. After I eat, I'm going to write something!" I pull up a spot without paying and know that there's no expectation to do so--at least not right away. Good ol' Maine courtesy, as good as this blueberry Jalapeño salsa from Pemberton partners, which I can apparently purchase at Millers Market, where it just ain't sangys it's home goodies too. I open up my futuristic-typewriter and get to work on my latest novel, but can't seem to find a single word. I glance at the menu--buffalo chicken pesto sandwich. Hard tellin', not knowin'. Mainers--brilliant folk when it comes to food. Pesto and buffalo sauce! Never had it, but I need it. That's bound to be tasty--as warm buttah' on lobstah. "Hi, I'll take my butter with lobster, please."--how it should be ordered. Dee-EEE --licious. You Mainers are shaking your heads right now, pesto and buffalo is probably a common thing round these parts, from ya? Nope I ain't and the rest of the country is far behind on the trend of the buffalo/pesto combo, I can promise you that. Then my food is brought out to me. It looks tasty--but the fries have me skeptical.... Find out how it all turned out at https://ryanccurtis.com/blog/timeless-fries-at-millers-market/n19c63 read more

Busy day running around and I was STARVING! While in Gorham, my wife suggested Miller's Market. At first, I was put off by the atrocious parking, but what else could I expect in down town? This place definitely gives "butcher" and "market" vibes, which was expected. Indoor seating was lacking, and the menu wasn't huge...but trust me, the variety was just enough to satisfy just about anyone. I ordered the smash burger, which was messy, greasy and absolutely fantastic. I got the turkey club for my kids to split (and this thing was HUGE) they didn't finish it . My wife got the Cesar wrap, and she was beyond happy with it. She even brought half back home with us. I strangely suggest going on a nice day and sitting outside, it was wonderful. (Pro-tip; if going during peak lunch, expect a wait on the food. We went into Azul Tequila and got an appetizer to go so we could eat this while waiting for our sandwiches. Honestly, it's the best of both worlds) read more

Food was good but the wait was ridiculously long. The restaurant was almost empty and still it took over 30 minutes for a steak and cheese. No apologies for the long wait when the food finally came out. One and done for me. read more

Food was good, honestly weird experience picking it up though. I handed the guy five bucks for a soda on top of my online sandwich order, and was waiting for him to give me my 60 cents or whatever in change... awkward pause... and he says "ok you have a good day man" in this passive-aggressive tone, which I guess was meant to indicate I wasn't getting my change? Off-putting. Glad it's not my local place because he was the opposite of friendly. Sorry to say read more

Fresh delicious food with very helpful staff. After eating the chicken there hard pressed to enjoy chicken from a supermarket

Great sandwich shop! Located in the former Blue Pig Diner space on School Street in Gorham, Miller's Market is a full service butcher, deli, provisions, and sandwich shop offering a selection of signature sandwiches, build your own sandwich, smashburgers, homemade salads, panko fried chicken nuggets, carnitas street tacos, house chips, chips & salsa, and desserts. They also sell breakfast sandwiches until 11am. For drinks, they offer hot & iced coffee, bottled water, Boylan sodas, and Tractor Craft drinks. In the big coolers, they also sell cold can drinks Apres, Lone Pine, Bissell Brothers, Miller Lite and other drinks, plus ready to eat meals. The pricing is moderate. There is seating along the front window and tables outside in front of the shop. I stopped by Miller's Market recently for lunch carryout. I ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich ($14 plus tax) and a side of Pasta Salad ($5 plus tax). I enjoyed my food outside since it was sunny outside. The sandwich was a bit greasy outside which had a tender fried panko coated chicken cutlet, lettuce, tomato, melted cheddar cheese, thick strips of chew bacon, & cucumber ranch of a soft brioche bun. The chilled pasta salad had firm rotini pasta, chopped veggies, pepperoni, seasonings, in a tangy oil based dressing. I will definitely keep Miller's Market on my list of sandwich shops to stop at in the Portland area. read more

Amazing burger, shredded lettuce, perfectly cooked, and it comes with what seem to be house made chips. The dressing on the caesar salad is soooo good!! The owner is super friendly and makes you feel at home. Great spot! read more

Food and people were incredible. We will dream about the sandwichs until we return. Cheers to being new regulars read more

Incredible sandwiches! Super friendly service!! If 6 stars were available they would be a 6.

I might be a little bit biased because this is my cousin's place. However, the food is amazing and so delicious. We were staying at Sebago family campground for a few days and decide to go get lunch and stop in to try to see my cousin. Unfortunately, they weren't there that day. But next time we're up in the area, we're definitely coming back. That was the best sandwich I've ever had in my life! read more

So excited to have a place like this downtown. I got the spicy Italian. Brought it home and it was great. Pretty quick turn around. Nice selection of products and locals goods. They had a nice area for sitting outside and inside. It was cloudy and kinda dark inside. But it was fine read more
