If you get off at exit 48 Westbrook/ Portland, I'm pretty sure Tasty Fried Chicken (next to JoAnn Fabric) is open until midnight if not later? If you are willing to venture further downtown, there's a few spot open until 1 or 2.

Yep, tasty is open til 3. Chicken is awesome there but the lamb and rice platter is where it's at!

Thank you so much! This is the perfect recommendation. The I 95 trip is part of a 4 hr trip that I make often at off-peak hours and I need something to break up the monotony, and also make it seem a little more exciting or special or fun than just a rest area, and also make me feel like I’m not just putting more money in the pockets of “The Man. “

Tasty used to be open til 2am daily but now I think it's Thurs Fri Sat. They close earlier (midnight?) on other days. It's hit or miss (both the food & the service) but usually good. I suppose late at night you might get some fries that have been sitting for awhile or something like that. It's run by a family from Afghanistan I think, the chicken kabobs are really good. Avoid the chk nuggets, those are just from the freezer. The fried chicken and the kabobs are cooked-to-order, so call ahead if you don't have 10 mins to spare.

Yup, guys who own it are all ex-Afghani Army Commandos. Awesome food, great people.
