Perfect diner experience. Friendly, comfortable, cheap, and good. Cant ask for anything else. Warning, the pancakes are massive.

This place is everything you would expect from a diner. You can sit where you'd like as long as there's free space, service is prompt and friendly, and the food comes out in a reasonable amount of time piping hot. If you have to wait for a table it's worth it. Prices are on point with this genre of restaurant. Can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. read more

Stumbled on this gem recently while wandering through Maine and was not disappointed! Wasn't sure if I wanted breakfast of lunch at 11am on a Sunday morning. After reading the menu I chose the veggie omelet with home fries and toast. It was delicious! Everything was fresh, hot and tasty. We didn't have to wait even though it was quite busy. Great family atmosphere , solid menu and good food. Can't go wrong here. read more

We love this restaurant. great food, friendly staff! Its got a very homey vib. prices are quite reasonable. wouldn't miss a weekend! read more

What a top notch restaurant. One of the very best breakfasts in the area. Their corned beef hash is really hearty AND it's homemade!! The SOS is a very worthy runner up to the hash as well. My husband had one of their omelets and said it was one of the best he's had other than the ones I make him. (No doubt he was just being sweet, because I tried it and it beat any omelet I've ever made lol). Really looking forward to having lunch here soon. Prices were very reasonable and the staff are all really great. There is such a warm, homey vibe here. 100/10 recommend - Would eat here every day if I could! read more

The breakfast here was excellent the omelet hash and eggs were excellent the ladies are very pleasant service is good they are closed on Mondays but they do give you a good potion all kinds of toast-it's a good place for a good breakfast read more

Alice's is the epitome of a small New England diner: busy but with friendly staff, lots of coffee, and good food. The restaurant is located in a very small rural town, nevertheless every table was occupied when we arrived. We had a considerable wait to get a table but since it's one of few options, we completely understood. Once seated, we were waited on promptly. The menu offered breakfast staples that included homemade corned beef hash. It was a bit salty for my taste but still quite good! The eggs were cooked perfectly and the home fries were also tasty. We left with our tummies full & ready to take on the day! read more

Cozy locals place. Had Breakfast, it was only OK, poached eggs were hard, home fries were cold. On the positive the hash was homemade and good. The kitchen was slow but the service was excellent. They were attentive and quick on the coffee refills. read more

Everything I went in a local diner. Never had any issues with service or food quality. Great breakfast and lunch options.

Fresh home cooked food that was delicious and great service! Had lunch there last week and I want to go back to try their breakfast!

Really good breakfast, good service, reasonably priced, and fast! We got the sos and it was huge!

Great food, wonderful and fast service. Well worth going for breakfast or lunch. We'll be back, for sure!

I am so glad Yelpers recommended this adorable little diner since I am never in Skowhegan. The parking lot is small but we saw people park at the lot across the street so we did the same. Portions are plentiful, coffee is good, prices are cheap, our waitress Janine is a sweetheart but the corned beef hash is insane. Huge chunks of corned beef, eggs, perfectly cooked home fries and toast-I think the small was $8. What a bargain because it is worth way more than that. I will definitely be back! read more

This is a nice place, the staff is nice and welcoming. But, if you want to come in the morning you should be prepared for a six to twenty minute wait. The food is good but for a single bagel it takes fifteen minutes. I don't suggest bringing your large family or large group of people to this place if you all want to get seated together. I also don't suggest this place even though it is nice and clean if you need somewhere to go eat quick. read more

ordered corn beef and scrambled eggs: corn beef burned, eggs were bland, toast and coffee was good!

My wife and I waited for 30 mins for a table, which in itself isn't too bad, but the problem occurred when we sat down to order. After ordering we were ignored for 45 minutes and my wife and I quickly realized there was an issue because other guest, who came in after us, were getting their food before us. After 10 minutes of this, My wife asked the waitress to check on our food and she notified us that she never put it in. I don't complain about much but this is just really bad service. read more

Just passing through for my mom's birthday on our antique outing. We stopped here and we're so happy we did. The prices were inexpensive but the quality was high. The decor was tasteful and the bathroom clean. Our waitress was delightful and prompt. I got the cheesy scrambled eggs and my mom had the egg and corned beef hash. The portions were plentiful and the food was delicious. I can be pretty picky and I was not disappointed. Stop in for great food and amazing prices! read more

Alice's Restaurant - a menu for a restaurant - Diners Near Me - Skowhegan, Maine

I've been coming here at breakfast time for years and have never had a negative experience. Alice's is a busy place and though you occasionally have to wait a minute or two for seating, the service and value is worth it. If you're looking for a Mom and Pop style diner, this is as good as it gets for Skowhegan and I mean that in the best way. I have in the past and always will consider Alice's my #1 breakfast stop in town! read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE tis restaurant. Especially their corn beef hash. I frequent this place at least 3 times a month. great food and friendly service. I just wish they stayed open later. read more

5 star as local fare goes. We did not have TRUE 5 star restaurants here locally. They serve local menu. Sometimes understaffed and a bit slow, but most agree worth the wait. They are known as a breakfast restaurant and most days very busy. If your in a huge rush then I wouldn't risk it, however there isn't another option in town for a real homemade breakfast, that I'm aware of. read more

Suitable spot for breakfast. Food was over-salted, to be honest. Coffee tasted like Maxwell House. Oh well. I've had worse. Service was fast and friendly. Would go back, but not too often. read more

Love Alices. Good food, great prices! People are friendly who work here & make you feel welcome. Cozy place for a yummy meal that won't break the bank. read more

Once again, service with a smile and food that's fit for an actual President (not the fake we have now). Feels like home when I walk in the door. read more

Always eat here when I have to make the trek up to Skowhegan. The S.O.S. Breakfast is simply Da Bomb! Owner operated, so there is plenty of passion and wonderful service! read more

Nice dinner food, got meat loaf and shepherds pie and both tasted like home cooking. Also liked the signs in the bathroom.

The breakfast fare is abundant, fresh, and deliciously home made. The pancakes are huge, take up the entire plate and can be filled with fresh mixed berries. The corn beef hash is like nothing you have ever tasted. Huge chunks of corn beef, carrots, cabbage, potatoes, etc. The French toast was thick with a crispy exterior and warm center. The eggs were cooked perfectly. Quick and friendly service and very reasonable prices. read more

You can get every thing you want at Alice's restaurant - for breakfast for sure. If you're going out for breakfast in Skowhegan, this is the place to go. Eggs, pancakes, breakfast sandwich and really good coffee - cooked and served by people who card about what they're doing. read more

I went to Alice's Restaurant because I was told it was the only place to get breakfast after noon in Skowhegan. Boy am I glad I did! The corned beef hash here is AMAZING. The small breakfast was so big, it came on two plates! read more

They got me with their homemade biscuit. Off the beaten path, but we took the risk after reading just one Yelp! review, then decided Alice's needed more. Can you believe they serve my favorite kind of tea? The decor is fun, the prices are cheap and the food was satisfying. read more

So this is skowhegan. The ratings for this diner reflect that fact. It's ok. Actually on the lower end of ok. It's a diner

My sweetie had the steak and eggs and said it was the best he's had. I had hash and eggs and it was wonderful. Beware the hash is more mashed with onions and large chunks of delicious corned beef. The service was excellent. read more

Alice's Restaurant - So very good - Diners Near Me - Skowhegan, Maine

Perfect stop for a road-trip breakfast. Came in with five people, and everyone left happy.

45 minute wait for a simple breakfast. 25 mins between checking with no coffee. Less than impressed

Soooo good & my go to local breakfast restaurant! The hash browns are to die for, and the staff are great! The chicken salad sandwiches are also my favorite for lunch! read more

Had a great experience here for breakfast. Good food and service with early hours too. Would happily visit again.

Hungry and in need of a hearty meal, we found Alice's Restaurant on our drive through Skowhegan. It hit the spot! Crispy bacon adorned the fresh tomato and lettuce on the BLT, the onion rings were delicate and battered perfectly, and the garden salad had romaine lettuce, rather than the typical iceberg. Additionally, the Monte Cristo had the sweet/savory combo you look for, and the cheeseburger was piping hot and perfectly seasoned. Lastly, our server was delightful, and efficient. We would absolutely eat here again. read more
