When you think of food in Maine, steakhouses might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but they shouldn’t be the last either. Sure, Maine is famous for its seafood, but a perfectly cooked steak pairs beautifully with the fresh flavors of lobster, scallops, or shrimp.

Alright, now that we've set the stage, which Maine steakhouse is being called the best ‘bucket-list’ steakhouse in our state?

According to LoveFood and their article on MSN, ‘We've Found Your State's Bucket-List Steakhouse,’ Maine’s ‘bucket-list’ steakhouse is The Steakhouse in Wells. Here’s what LoveFood had to say about their Maine selection:

As its name suggests, this inviting family-run spot takes serious pride in its steaks. Carefully aged USDA Prime Western beef is hand cut on the premises by in-house butchers, then broiled at a high temperature to lock in the flavor. The filet mignon, rib-eye, and strip steak are all delicious, but if you’re after something a little bit different, try the teriyaki sirloin. The atmosphere is welcoming, the servers are super-friendly, and the portions are generous. What more could you want?
