Ames Farm
Ames Farm is now open for breakfast and lunch. We had planned to go on Saturday; the traditional 3rd Sat in June opening. Driving by yesterday we saw the open sign by the road so we had breakfast this morning.
The blueberry pancakes with NH maple syrup are still great Caution: a stack of three of those could feed Paul Bunyan. So I downsize to two or just one with eggs. |

Finally got to Ames Farm by car after waiting a few years for the right weather/time by boat(!).
It was very good, and the servers were excellent. The blueberry pancakes were excellent, as mentioned above, and the real syrup was a nice touch. Sent from my SM-S911U using Tapatalk |

Pancake Heaven at Ames
I don't have pancakes often. Polly's twice a year. Water Street the same. We had a group of 12 at Ames last weekend and had an awesome experience. I had a basic stack of 3 pancakes and they were fabulous. A co-bruncher said "I should have ordered 2". Hopefully just an off day on your occasion.
PS Great views. |

Also have had fabulous pancakes at Harrison Pierce Pond Camps in Caratunk ME, North of Skowhegan. The Camps are on the AT trail and 16 miles in the woods off a dirt logging road. The pancakes and breakfast are famous among thru hikers. If you are a thru hiker you must sit on the outside deck though because thru hikers smell, LOL. The pancakes are super thin, crepe like with fresh raspberries, black berries and powdered sugar. Deliscious! Last edited by Taz; 08-24-2023 at 07:58 AM. |

Y'all talking about eating one cake are either lightweights or there was something weird about Ames' sizing!
Polly's used to be more unique when it was European/family seating in the old building, but it's still unique in that everything made is original recipes from scratch. I think it's just ok food, but the location is great. Just need a small loan these days to cover the cost. My family's favorite breakfast stop at the moment is Benton's, though Ames entered into the discussion after we finished last week... Sent from my SM-S911U using Tapatalk |
