Little Dan's Pit Smoked BBQ

757 Main St. Lewiston ME 04240

(207) 333-3BBQ (3227)

Hi, We would like to explain how our food is prepared fresh daily in our BBQ pit smoker you viewed at the side of our building.

We arrive early every morning to fire up the pit with apple, oak and maple woods. We let the wood turn to coals and slowly smoke our food all day long. Some meats up to 14 hours to cook and almost all smoked food picks up a pink hue. This is called a "smoke ring" and is one true way to determine true smoked BBQ. Only when the meats are tender & succulent and meet our expectations, do we remove them from the smoker and prepare them in our kitchen for you.

With a special blend of seasonings, spices and other secret ingredients let us bring the southern pleasures of real BBQ to Maine. Again, thanks for visiting our humble restaurant. Please don't hesitate to let us know if there is anything we can do to make your dining experience with us a great one. We are always willing to take extra time and care to make your meal one you will enjoy and remember. Again, don't hesitate to ask for special presentations with your meal.

Sincerely,

Bjorn, Erica, Dan & the Crew

Patti’s Restaurant

65 Gray Rd Falmouth ME 04105

(207) 797-0579

Patti’s Restaurant was originally established in 1984 in the Northgate Shopping Plaza, Portland, Maine. The restaurant quickly became a local favorite where people could visit with their neighbor and get a good meal served with a smile. The original “Patti” has long since retired from the restaurant business but it is our goal to continue the tradition of providing home cooked food in a comforting environment that acts as your home away from home. We moved the restaurant to West Falmouth Crossing in June 2000 and have been making new friends ever since. We hope you enjoy your time here at Patti’s Restaurant and we look forward to serving you again.

Thank You!
