There are some days that modern technology and social media thrill us. But, mostly we find ourselves just wishing we could relive the summer of love. In fact, any excuse to go back in time to enjoy free love, good vibes and great music is fine with us. That’s why this hippie-themed restaurant in Maine is one of our favorites. It’s un-fussy, lots of fun and the portions are the kind that will keep you satisfied until someone actually does invent a time machine.
Silly’s Restaurant in Portland is one of those places that locals consider an institution.

They’ve been around for over 30s years so they’ve basically perfected the art of big meals served in a special sort of ambiance.

With their throw-back tables and lunch boxes at every seat, there’s a decidedly hippie vibe happening here.

And it extends to the outside seating area where you’ll find brightly painted flowers and fences full of color.

It’s eclectic to say the least and that’s just part of why we love it.

The rest of our reason for visiting this place as often as possible is the food. Obviously.

There’s no place in Portland with a larger menu - from sandwiches to salads to plates to bowls to burgers - it might take you longer to make a selection than it does to actually finish your meal.

Portions are so large, you’d probably be satisfied with just an appetizer. But, trust us when we say you need to order as much as will fit on the table.

They might be best known for their cake selection. Which is also huge in variety and actual slice size.

This slice is the same size as some actual cakes you’d get at a bakery!
