Last October while working on a magazine article about New England’s leaf-peeping hidden gems, I recommended a restaurant in Wells, Maine, the next town up from Ogunquit. My wife and I had a grilled lobster roll at Sundaes at the Beach that I could still taste two hours later. A quarter pound of Maine lobster meat, lightly dressed and served on a grilled bun. Add to that some excellent fries and a scoop of Kennebunkport Kahlua Chip ice cream (free when you purchase a lobster roll) and that’s as good as it gets.
Sundaes at the Beach, 231 Post Road (Route 1), has changed its name to Wells Beach Burgers and Ice Cream. Same owners and same award-winning ice cream handcrafted on site. According to the owners, the name change was made because most tourists thought it just served ice cream. I loved the old nane. At least the great lobster roll is still on the menu.
The new website is www.wellsbeachburgers.com. The restaurant closes at the end of October for the winter but if you want to make this one of your stops try it in the summer or during leaf-peeping season.
