Best Friends Family Restaurant

Love this gem that is just a stone’s throw (literally) from the US/​Canadian border. We had happened upon Best Friends when we crossed over in 2013 after a trip to Quebec City. We then decided to go back when we were in the area this past July. Both times the food was fantastic and priced more than fairly. My wife had «the best grilled cheese» she ever had and I the pancakes with hash on the side. All excellent. On our most recent visit, we were leaving the area and though we were southbound, we headed north and then west to revisit Best Friends first. This was on a Sunday and it was PACKED. bikers, campers, RVs and the local church crowd all filling in. There was one table open and a waitress saw us standing by the door and she got us seated right away and had coffee in our cups immediately. Can’t ask for more than that. If you are in the area, stop by. You will love it. Plus they hand cut their fries. There is nothing like a mom and pop shop nowadays.

So, I’ve been in the area for about 9 months, and I keep moaning on and on about how I have to drive over the border and put up with the snoots at the gate JUST so i can get real poutine with freaking curds.
And then, suddenly, a voice from above (actually it was a co-​worker) said «um, why don’t you just go to Rouses Point?»
I feel like a dumb ass now. There are TWO establishments within a mile of each other that serve the gastronomic bliss of ‘tine.
I’ve been here a few times, for the aforementioned MFP, a sandwich and some breakfasty options.
So.not only do they serve my last meal on earth, they’re super freaking nice. I mean. wicked crazy nice. I went in there for breakfast the other day, and they acted like they’d known me forever… and I’m a freaking outsider from Maine. The ladies who work this joint are seriously down to earth, even at 7 in the morning when they’re stuck behind the counter.
In addition to this… last time I was there a pie had the unfortunate experience of getting a bit smooched in the fridge. Guess who got a free coconut cream slice to go with her breakfast. Yeah, this kid,
Menu is straight up comfort food, and the ambiance is much the same. Sure, it looks a bit worn on the inside… but who needs all the fluff when you can get what you really came for in the first place. Good job, best friends.
