The Galley is THE local breakfast and lunch spot in Bath for casual, simple, fresh made, well…read morepriced meals. 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?

Stopped in for breakfast at The Galley due to a local person we met earlier that morning. He told…read moreus it is the best breakfast around and he eats there most mornings. 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!

If you're looking for a classic, no-frills breakfast spot, Southgate Family Restaurant is exactly…read morewhere you want to be. It's cozy, homey, and feels like a true small-town diner. The pancakes are literally as big as your face, the kind of breakfast comfort food that hits just right. The food overall was solid. Simple, hearty, and exactly what you'd expect from a local favorite. Coffee is your standard diner brew (nothing fancy, but it keeps coming), and the service was genuinely amazing, friendly, fast, and welcoming. Just a heads-up: there's not a ton of seating, so if you're visiting during busy season, be prepared for a little wait. Totally worth it, though, for that classic Maine breakfast charm.

Very disappointing experience picking up a DoorDash order. The app directed me to the walk-up…read morewindow, so I politely walked up, said hello, and let the employee know I was there for a pickup. She immediately and rudely told me, "You need to go through the drive-through. All pickups are at the drive-through." The promptly closed the walk up window in my face. If that's the policy, that's fine, but there was no need to act that way, especially to someone who was just attempting to pick up a DoorDash order. In addition, it was especially confusing since other Aroma Joe's locations always direct dashers to use the walk-up window or go inside to avoid holding up the drive-through line. Rather than deal with the hostility, I unassigned the order from my account and left without pay. Delivery drivers are simply following the instructions provided to them and a respectful explanation would have been appreciated, especially considering the store has to manually add in what pick up instructions for drivers are.

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.

Go to impress parents or similar if you are a college student. For quality and price, based on our experience, would not do again. Overcooked eggs, grudging portions, mix and match plateware that just confounds (bacon and eggs in a bowl - really? but only for one person in the party?). The menu is also misleading. The fabled "hash of the day" turned out to be just a pile of ordinary unremarkable overcooked and unseasoned home fries. The same side everyone else had for free, but costing some part of the wallet-stretching $21 in the context of the all-in "165" breakfast - two overcooked over-easy eggs (no seasoning), a slice of thin sourdough bread cut in two, a pile of indifferent home fries and two of the smallest pieces of bacon you can imagine. $8-12 in any self-respecting diner in the country, and typically made with far more care and flavor. When asked how plain ordinary home fries were a "hash of the day" when they were also unmentioned sides for other dishes, the waitress shrugged and said "it's a KIND of hash. We call that hash here." Touche. Should have asked more questions. And the toast is a single piece of seemingly storebought sourdough bread cut in half (no evidence here, just disappointment being expressed). No substitution, no extras. Pretty much no butter, either. Another member of the party had the blueberry pancakes, Thick and heavy, and unremarkable, once again. Any diner does it better - for half the price. Timing was a serious issue too. The dining room was somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 full. 3-4 tables in other words. Still took well over 45 minutes to get food. Watched 2 pairs of other diners come, order, eat, pay and leave as we waited, Food came cool with no explanation or apology for the long wait. Small complaints perhaps, but at this price, they are making bold claims and utterly failing to match up. Breakfast should be a lay-up for places like this. The ingredients cost almost nothing and the work involved is strictly short-order, simple, fast-turn work in a relatively uncrowded dining room. No reason to go light on ingredients or on flavors. Breakfast is an easy meal to wow in aplace like this, and New England has traditions to uphold - and yet the establishment clearly did not see the point in putting in the effort to match their prices, decor, or location. The capper was watching the tables cleared by a surly teenager in stained board shorts and stained tshirt and sneakers with unwashed hair in a beautiful dining room. The young man clomped in and would withdraw 1-2 plates at a time before stomping out, taking over ten minutes to clear a single table. Overpriced and under-quality. It's for tourists. Beautiful building, though.

We are always looking for the best corned beef Benedict when we go for breakfast and this one WAS good during our last visit but we were a bit disappointed that it is now just corned beef - not hash.
