Old Orchard Beach is a charming resort town located in York County. It’s not large, with a population of approximately 9,000 residents, but it’s a beautiful town for exploring and escaping the stresses of daily life. While there are many things to do in Old Orchard Beach, tucked away on Old Orchard Street is one sandwich shop you’ve got to try for yourself — Red Door Market and Deli. This shop is home to delicious old-school sandwiches that will have you swooning from the first bite. In fact, you may just find that Red Door Market and Deli is home to the best sandwiches in Maine.
Located at 39 Old Orchard Street, this charming market and deli may not catch your eye when you first pass it by, but once you step through its doors, you’ll forever be grateful you discovered it.
Inside you’ll find a simple, yet friendly interior.
You’ll find items on the menu like a bagel sandwich complete with two fried eggs, house sausage, and bacon. Or try the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich with a single fried egg, Cabot cheddar, and smoked bacon on a toasted English muffin.
There are a handful of signature sandwiches on the lunch menu like the corned beef Reuben, turkey BLT, and the P.E.T.A compete with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, basil pesto, house balsamic drizzle, and fresh ciabatta bread.
I also recommend you try one of the wraps. Packed with protein, veggies, and condiments, there are a handful of options on the menu and each one is perfection.
White, wheat, spinach, sun-dried tomato, and gluten-free wraps are some of the options available.
But if a signature item just isn’t capturing your attention, you can always build your own sandwich. There are a variety of breads, condiments, cheeses, proteins, and toppings you can add to create the perfect sandwich.
You'll never regret your order at Red Door Market and Deli. Whether you choose one of the signature sandwiches or you build your own, get ready to enjoy one of the best sandwiches in Maine.
