While in Well’s, Maine we could not resist stopping by Congdon’s After Dark food pod and beer garden! Congdon’s after dark is located next door to Congdon’s doughnut’s on 1090 post road, you can’t miss it, just follow the traffic! Congdon’s after dark opens daily at 4 pm and stay open until 8pm. We went on a Saturday night and let me say it was packed! Lots of food trucks and lots or people but that did not deter us at all, Jim, Naz and I were up for the challenge and the food!
When you walk to the food truck area the aroma from all the trucks is incredible, you are pulled in so many directions with the smells and sights of what everyone is having. I opted to go to the Knew Potato Caboose food truck. This truck is a dedicated gluten free truck, they have all of the French fry goodness you could possibly ask for. I got a dish called Little Red Rooster. It starts with hand cut fries and is topped with grilled chicken, sweet baby rays bbq sauce, bacon, ranch dressing , scallions and I added cheese curds for good measure! This was not only hearty and full of flavor it was amazing! The fries really stood up to all of the added ingredients. The bbq sauce was full of punch but the ranch tamed it down. Jim, Naz and I loved this dish! I would go back for this dish!
Jim went to the Crepe Elizabeth food truck. He had the ham and cheese crepe. This dish did not disappoint it was cheesy and full of ham. Crepe Elizabeth has both sweet and savory crepes. Jim finished his crepe and helped me finish my loaded fries!
Congdon’s after dark is family friendly, dog friendly with plenty of parking. They do close on bad weather days and the food trucks vary nightly so be sure to check Congdon’s After dark website and Facebook page for food truck listing and any updates they have.
We could not leave wells, Maine without going to Congdon’s Doughnuts! They have lines down the road each day so getting there early is the key as they do run out of doughnuts.
Congdon’s doughnuts is known for its doughnuts of course but you can also go inside and have breakfast, but we were not there for that. We came strictly for the doughnuts! They have raised doughnuts, filled doughnuts, chocolate doughnuts, plain doughnuts, fritters as well as Gluten free Doughnuts that they source for a gluten free bakery. Jim got a variety of doughnuts along with some gluten free doughnuts for myself and to take home to Robby.
There were six doughnuts in that box but one of them did not make it out of the parking lot! These doughnuts were delicious, I now understand the hype and following Congdon’s Doughnuts have!
Even the gluten free doughnuts were fantastic! They are smaller than a regular doughnut but just as delicious!
All in all Congdon’s After Dark and Congdon’s Doughnuts we’re both Fantastic and worth the drive!
We are looking forward to another visit before summer is over.
