New Maine Restaurants in July 2025

Kittery, Maine, saw two new restaurants pop up right at the start of the month: State Line Lobster Co.and Henry's Bagel & Deli.

The Route 1 seafood spot serves up fresh lobster, clams, and haddock, and according to its Facebook page, is "locally sourced and housemade."

As for the "little deli with a big heart," Henry's website lists "hand-rolled bagels, stacked sandwiches, and strong coffee" mixed with Maine charm as the selling point for its location.

Biddeford, Portland, South Portland, and Standish also had grand openings for new food ventures.

Let's take a look at seven of these new spots here.
