Silly's was a beloved Portland institution for a generation and people who loved Silly's creative, quirky menu and delicious homemade cakes will be delighted by their reopening.
I would call this iteration of Silly's "Silly's Lite". Picture a food truck located on Ossipee Trail in Standish, only a small building. The decor is reminiscent of vintage Portland Silly's--midcentury diner tables and chairs, and many familiar decorative pieces as well. It's pretty back to basics, counter service and a more streamlined menu, with a rotating list of daily specials, many vegetarian and vegan options, and their signature homemade cakes.
We tried one of the vegan specials--the Citizen Spud: fried potato skins topped with sweet potato black bean chili and their buffalo and herbie sauces. It was full of flavor and so filling so we had to finish it at home, along with a couple of out-of-this-world slices of homemade vegan spice cake with maple frosting.
People who loved Silly's Portland location will find the drive to Standish is well worth it. Make sure to check their hours on Instagram first--right now they're open Wednesday - Saturday, 4 pm - 8 pm. We're so happy this Silly's exists and look forward to returning! read more
