How are the burgers made at Harmon's Lunch in Falmouth, Maine?

Bangor Daily News spoke to the owner Jeff Wormell who shared the secret of their 60-plus year success,

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. It has worked for over sixty years.

If you want the true Harmon's experience you get your burger loaded which is cheese, stewed onions, mustard, and a sweet red pepper relish. Jeff Wormell told BDN that they do have ketchup, mayo, and raw onions as an alternative, but they 'try to keep it as it was'. If you are at Harmon's, get it the way they make it for the full experience.

Get a loaded burger at Harmon's Lunch in Falmouth, Maine, and you won't go broke

You'll notice that the prices are pretty damn reasonable. Oh sure, you can plow pretty easily through a couple of burgers, they are not huge, but for under 5 bucks - go for it! I also enjoyed the onion rings, which are one of the most expensive items on the menu. They are worth it. Skip the fries and go straight for the onion rings.

Make sure you have cash when you go to Harmon's Lunch in Falmouth, Maine

Bring cash and an appetite. I thought this place was only open in the summer, but there I was on Gray Road and it was busy! I might just have to grab some cash and head there for lunch.
