The Best Burger in Maine Can Be Found at Biddeford Diner

Is there anything better than a nice, juicy cheeseburger?

The burger is as American as apple pie, bad country music, and college football. Sure, it might originally be from Germany, but like most things in this world, America made it better. And that little morsel of meat continues to satisfy our pallet no matter the style.

With burgers being so popular, it's to no surprise to see a brand-new list from the iconic magazine Reader's Digest hit the net. The magazine decided to take a closer look at America's love affair with the burger, and where the best ones might call home. The site picked the best burger from every state, giving the reader an opportunity to see the sandwich's versatility, and to know where to travel next.

Maine's representative is a tremendous pick. This burger is not to be reckoned with, and takes a Herculean effort to even finish in one sitting. According to Reader's Digest, the Pine Tree State's top burger is the Palais Royale from the iconic Palace Diner in Biddeford.

The Palais Royale is a double patty burger smothered with cheese and topped with crispy lettuce, pickles, and special sauce. It sits in-between a classic sesame seed bun and comes with a side of fries. It's no frills, and absolutely delicious; a true diner burger that makes you crave it again the second after your last bite.

Palace Diner is probably used to this publicity by now. The diner has been a huge hit since opening a decade ago. The 1927 dining car has been featured in numerous national publications, and even on the hit Netflix show Somebody Feed Phil.

Here is a little of what Reader's Digest had to say about choosing the Palais Royale.

If you’re able to score a spot at one of the 15 counter seats, order the Palais Royale, a double version of the classic cheeseburger... Can’t grab a seat in the railway car? Place an order online to enjoy from anywhere.

Ready to try the Royale? Just be aware, as Reader's Digest points out, that the lunch counter is small, so there could be a bit of a wait to sit down. However, the Palace Diner also offers takeout. You can find out more info on their site.

And while you're there, feel free to grab a Royale for your favorite DJ. I'll pay for it. I promise.
