The Empire Grill
A unique dining experience
 The Empire Grill has quickly become a local favorite since
owners  Tom Miller & Kerry Pomelow took over.  While
reclaiming a major filming site of the HBO movie Empire Falls,
they created a diner menu that is a notch above.  

The Grill serves top quality food with fresh and local
ingredients.  The menu includes homemade meals, soups,
deserts, breads and all day breakfast.  Extra treats include
hand-crafted cappuccinos, espressos and free WiFi for those
who tote their laptop along with them.   
 The Empire Grill was created during the 2003 filming of the HBO movie
Empire Falls, adapted from Maine author Richard Russo's book of the
same name.   For several months  Paul Newman, Ed Harris, Joanne
Woodward, Helen Hunt; along with several supporting cast members,
succeeded in captivating Skowhegan.   When the cameras stopped, the
stars went home, the extras went back to regular jobs and the Empire
Grill remained and drifted back to an ordinary existence as a local eating
shop, shorn of movie props.
