I've gone here a couple times whether I am just driving through town or Portland is a destination. It's really easy to get to, parking is super convenient, and the weights are never too long. The pancakes are absolutely phenomenal and I love a classic diner hot chocolate. I will definitely continue to stop here whenever I'm in the area!

TLDR: serviceable breakfast spot for a hot, local meal…read more Had a wonderful breakfast here during a quick, 1 night stop in Freeport. When we walked in you could tell there was a mix of locals and a few tourists and we were immediately greeted like we were one of the locals. It's fairly small with a bunch of tables but it wasn't tight where you couldn't get around. Our server that's been there for 30 years was outstanding and had a great personality. The coffee was decent, and I don't usually like the coffee at diners and restaurants. I had the french toast special made with croissants and it was really tasty. They were not soggy and the side of bacon was nice and crispy. Wife and kids enjoyed their respective omelette and regular French toast. It wasn't anything fancy, perhaps you could even say it was plain but it was prepared well and came out hot/fresh.

We even ended up at the last booth against a window in the back and I loved the location. Coffee and ice water were brought right over, and we noticed that one of the muffins of the day was pumpkin butterscotch. WHAT!! We immediately ordered one grilled, and the server had to let us know that they had JUST sold out, but they did it in a way with such empathy I felt understood. For breakfast, I ended up ordering a western scramble with home fries and rye toast (buttered in advance, of course!) and my companion ordered the steak benny. We both loved our breakfasts and the hot coffee kept on coming. YES!

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.

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.

I'm a breakfast regular, early mornings with the local fisherman and tradesmen and mid morning with families and other locals. Just order the days special, or hope they've still got haddock chowder and pie with ice cream left (all house made and great). Booths and counter space. Very casual but always clean and bustling. Super friendly (and fast and pro) staff, even if you're from away . Coffee refills at the ready (this isn't Starbucks, don't expect an espresso machine). Off street parking in their lot, open year round. Did I mention the chowder and pie?

The more you look around the more you realize why it is called the galley. If you stop in look for all of the things you might see in the galley of a ship. It is a family run diner. The wait staff were very congenial and rather cheery, the service was great, the prices were good, the portions were larger than we expected but more importantly delicious. The other patrons seemed to be locals as there were lively discussions not only at their table but from table to table. When someone new walked in there were greetings to them from other patrons. The atmosphere was awesome, the food was great, the staff were welcoming, and the decor fit the name! PS The diner was clean!

It's kinda overthinking what a pancake should be, the syrup was very thin and didn't complement the cake very well.

The service was great. Very attentive and efficient. The food was as great. My party had a variety of items, from the beet & goat cheese salad, deviled eggs, pancetta and Brussels sprouts, cheeseburger, and BLT with Lobster. Everything was high quality and delicious. The fries which came on the side of the burgers and sandwiches were also excellent. The restaurant has a nice outdoor space but the weather was a little rainy the day we went so we didn't sit outside. I do suggest they add more barriers and greenery/plants to separate the beautiful outdoor seating space from the parking lot across the way.

We shared the street fries to start (YUM) and I opted for the French onion soup as my starter.

Finally we had the chocolate lava cake which was just okay, but that's fine because we were so full from the rest of our meal! The staff is incredibly friendly, and though the space is small it wasn't too loud or cramped. And the igloos outside looked so cool - would definitely be worth visiting on a snowy day!
