With only three locations in Maine (Sabattus, Manchester and Old Orchard Beach) and mega-sized portions (that's a small pictured...), Fielder's Choice is worth the travel and the wait! It's not uncommon for there to be lines around the building and out to the road at the drive-thru for their homemade treats!
