Warming Up to Autumn with Southern Cuisine
Chowders, stews and casseroles with local ingredients are typical solutions to fight off the cool weather autumn brings to Maine. But in Waterville, a small restaurant serves a different type of home cooking that draws a crowd in any season. Freedom Cafe specializes in made-from-scratch southern-creole and soul food, serving favorites like chicken and sausage jambalaya, barbecue pork ribs with bourbon sauce, and shrimp etouffee. Husband and wife owners James and Janice Swinton share the comfort food from their southern roots, and that includes traditional corn bread, collard greens, and desserts like coconut cake and peach cobbler.
Freedom Cafe is open Thursday through Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and accepts cash and checks only.
