Scullery Made Deli, which specializes in New York-style sandwiches, has opened in Searsport.

The breakfast-and-lunch restaurant, which turns into a cocktail bar with small plates in the evening, opened in mid-May. Owner Mary Kate Labenski originally intended to open a food truck but ended up finding a brick and mortar spot at 23 East Main St.

Labenski said she’s been working in food service since she was 12, first helping out as a youngster at the Chinese restaurant of a family friend, later working at a number of spots in her native Massachusetts, including a winery. In 2019, she followed her parents to Maine; they are helping out at Scullery Made.

A menu of breakfast sandwiches includes steak and eggs with peppers and onions; bacon, egg and cheese; eggs, mushrooms, spinach and tomato; and a burrito. Among the lunch sandwiches are Cubanos, Reubens and Elenas (turkey, cream cheese and strawberry jam). On the bar menu in the evening are items like meatballs and deviled eggs.

Breakfast and lunch are served from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursdays through Mondays. The bar opens at 4 and is open until 10 p.m., except on Sundays, when it closes at 9. Scullery Made seats 22, including six seats at the bar.

Labenski plans to keep the restaurant open year round. “It’s really important that we are here for the local community, not just the tourism crowd,” she said, “because we all need somewhere to go.”
