Each generation of people in Maine have slightly different takes on what 'old school' should be considered, from styles in clothing and slang to how kids in another generation had to walk in 10 feet of snow. There are different definitions for old school in the Pine Tree State, and taht includes when talking about restaurants.

Maine was once bursting with buffet restaurants and classic diners. The kind of places people gathered at for their favorite meal of the day. The kind of place where everyone recognized everyone else.

Listed on the New England Commercial Property Exchange, one of those 'old school' type of diners is officially for sale in Biddeford, Maine. It's the Twin City Cafe, an over 30-year-long staple of the Saco/Biddeford area.

Twin City Cafe is a bit of a time capsule. It falls a little short of something Marty McFly sees in Back to the Future, but it's not far off. It's a restaurant that operates on short hours, takes payments in cash only, and is completely focused around serving breakfast.

For locals, there's been nothing wrong with that. The menu is limited to breakfast standards but they're executed well. The prices are inexpensive compared to other nearby restaurants, and that 'old school' feel is something many people throughout Maine still actively search for.

Twin City Cafe doesn't own the building they operate in. What is for sale is the business itself along with all assets. If you're looking to catch the eye of Guy Fieri, this could be your chance to own a diner with some serious history.
