My mom got the crab salad it was real crab. My brother and nephew wanted lobster and they were impressed w how good it was.

We stopped in for an early lunch to this Topsham staple home style restaurant. we were greeted with…read morea friendly hello. There were just two servers and they were hopping. Both were very pleasant and every time a meal was ready from the kitchen, you could hear them say thank you to the cooking crew. The menu options are pretty standard and the prices are reasonable. They have a special board, so make sure to check that out before placing your order. They also have lunch specials on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. The dining area is very accessible. And there are no stairs upon entry. I'm not sure about the accessibility of the bathrooms, though. Besides booths and tables, there is a counter with about eight stools.

Home cooking at its best. The restaurant is always full - doesn't seem to matter the day or time…read more I had to wait a little bit but it's definitely worth it. Not only is the "standard" menu amazing and varied but there are also always a lot of specials to peruse. The hardest part is deciding what to order. Don't worry: I don't think there's a bad choice. Today I opted for the Monte cristo. Yum!! Perfect blend of sweet and savory. Coffee cup never runs dry - always appreciated. Cash is preferred (and there is an ATM on site) but cards are accepted.

If you're in Portland and craving a real diner breakfast, Becky's absolutely hits the spot. The…read morehomemade corned beef hash is the star of the plate: big chunks of corned beef and potatoes, crispy on the outside, tender inside, and super flavorful without being greasy. You can taste that it's made from scratch, not scooped out of a can. The blueberry pancake is everything you want from a Maine diner--loaded with berries, golden on the edges, and fluffy in the middle. It's one of those pancakes you tell yourself you'll share, then somehow you don't. The fiddlehead omelet is such a fun local twist, with the fiddleheads adding a tender, slightly earthy bite that makes the whole thing feel special and seasonal. Service is friendly and efficient, even when they're slammed, and the whole place has that busy, waterfront, "locals and tourists together" vibe. Expect a wait, especially at prime breakfast hours, but the homemade corned beef hash, blueberry pancake, and fiddlehead omelet make it more than worth it.

Mae's Café has been around for many years with different owners. It always has such an inviting and…read morehomey feel. The dining areas are bright and welcoming. We went recently for breakfast. We were greeted by a friendly server The menu was diverse, and all the dishes seemed well curated. They serve local coffee! I had the generously portioned sweet potato and scrambled egg bowl. My husband ordered corned beef eggs Benedict with home fries. It was unfortunate that his home fries were cold and rather dried up. The server offered to bring out fresh home fries. then the front of the house manager brought our bill and discounted the tab greatly. He was very apologetic. We definitely would go back based on this customer service. Worth mentioning, there is a side entrance that is handicap accessible (the main entrance on Centre Street has steps leading up to it). But if one wanted to go to the bakery counter from that entrance, there are a few steps to get to that level.

I went here for brunch with a friend. I ordered 3 blueberry pancakes with bacon. To begin with…read morethere is a $4.00 charge to add meet to your pancakes. Just the 3 pancakes were $8.99. The bacon arrived completely burnt, I mean it was black. When I said something to the waitress she informed me that most of their customers liked it that way. She did bring me a new order. The pancakes were even worse. They had a horrible taste and wore raw. The waitress offered me news ones. By the time they arrived of friend was done eating. When the new pancakes arrived the waitress informed me they were perfect ,has they had been tested in the kitchen. They were still terrible. I became sick before even leaving the restaurant. I found out from a former employee that they use instead , pancake batter with artificial blueberries in that they also use the imitation butter flavored spray to cook with. Most of the fried foods or frozen and tossed in the fryer. Soups, Chowder, and chill or canned. Other food is pre-made and just warmed up. My friend was also charged $1.50 extra for gravy on their mashed potatoes and $1.25 for a slice of bread. Other friend who went here was charged $2.00 extra for there eggs and $1.75 extra for onion in their home fries. We were all shocked to be told that they rounded up on the bill and would not get are change back if we did not have the exact cash. We will never, ever, ever go back to The Fairgound Cafe. ​

Pulled in and was greeted promptly by a young "bellhop", she handed me a menu and said I'll be back in five minutes. I was like sweet! Well 5 became 11 minutes, when I decided to see if I was forgotten. Went to the door and asked if it could order, another staff member was quick to follow me out to the car. I ordered a bacon burger, onion rings and an orange creamsicle shake. Came out fast! So not sure why I waited long to begin with. Ok wondering why I gave three stars? Delay was one. Got the wrong burger, it has cheese in it and I asked for a bacon burger. It was a plain burger, not much taste or seasoning for the burger itself. I was disappointed. Now the onion rings, excellent and the shake, amazing. I'll try them again soon to see if they can get a couple more stars

The quality of the food is excellent! I tried the breakfast sandwich with the peach jam...best breakfast sandwich ever! The pancakes were fluffy yet chewy...a great consistency, and delicious flavor. The corned beef hash was absolutely amazing! Perfectly salty, great tender texture, on top of a lovely mixture of tator tots with Sautéed shallots, and a tiny bit of carrot. So good!
