- While on a road trip from Connecticut to Portland, Maine, I stopped at Palace Diner in Biddeford.
- I had hoped to try the diner’s famous fried chicken sandwich, which is known to sell out.
- It sold out before I got there, so I went back two days later. It was worth the extra effort.
On a recent road trip to Maine from Connecticut, I stopped at Palace Diner, the oldest diner in the state with a reputation for long wait times but a fried chicken sandwich that makes it all worth it.
Palace Diner offers burgers, breakfast plates, and sandwiches. However, the fried chicken sandwich stands out as one of the restaurant’s most popular and famous menu items.
Featured on the Netflix series “Somebody Feed Phil” and referred to by travel website OnlyInYourState as “the most delicious chicken sandwich” its reviewers had ever tried, the sandwich is rich in history and, admittedly, a little difficult to get your hands on, which only adds to its allure.
The first time I tried to order the chicken sandwich, I struck out. After waiting over an hour for two seats at the diner’s 15-seat counter, I was told they had sold out of fried chicken.
Luckily, I had time the next morning to finally try the sandwich — only to be completely blown away.
