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.

Believe the hype!!…read more Such a cute place, seated very quickly for 2, a family of 4 had to wait maybe 20 minutes? Friendly staff and simple menu so it's not overwhelming. But wow, the food was amazing. Medium eggs cooked to perfection, their palace potatoes are fried and crispy but creamy on the inside - I personally loved it with ketchup, and the flapjacks were like a Dutch griddle cake - moist with butter just dripping off. The maple syrup added the most delicate sweetness - don't think I've had a syrup like it. The bacon could be a tad bit crispier but that's just my preference - still was yummy. Hubby and I shared the lumberjack meal, bottomless coffee and an OJ, and it was well worth it & perfect to share (they do have a sharing fee $3/plate). We took coffee bag home that tandem roasts just for them - felt it was the best diner coffee we've had and can't wait to go back!

We lucked out and got the last two seats when we walked in and got drinks and food quick! The 2 Lumberjack Specials were about $23 a piece which is a bit on the high end but I believe you pay for the experience at a place like this and it was worth it.

The space is small yet inviting with lots of decorative owls all around as well. The staff were all friendly and our server was very attentive and described the specials expertly. They offered beers, wines, signature cocktails, as well as a few mocktails. Also appeared to have a full bar so should you have a preferred drink I am sure they'll make it. I enjoyed their Ramona Park cocktail that had a touch of spice, while my wife got their Follow You Down mocktail. Drink prices appeared to be quite standard. Food wise my wife got their Not Your Average BLT and I got their Good Ol' Chicken Basket. The BLT was phenomenal with little tweaks/additions to it that make it a new favorite BLT! The chicken was very tasty, yet extremely thin so a few bites had no meat and just breading. Both came with fries and those were tasty and seasoned well! They could have been a touch more crispy though. Overall we both enjoyed our meals a lot and would love to return! Both food and drinks were brought to us in a quick time! I also thought in general prices were reasonable. This is a spot worth checking out for sure! Friendly staff with well made drinks and food.

Let's start with the cocktails, because they truly deserve top billing. I always order the seasonal espresso martini, and somehow it just keeps getting better. This time it was tiramisu-inspired, and it was unreal. Rich, balanced, not overly sweet, and actually tasted like the dessert without feeling heavy. Whoever is behind that bar knows exactly what they're doing. The fish and chips? You cannot go wrong. Perfectly crisp batter, flaky fish, and fries that hold their own. It's one of those dishes you order once and then find yourself thinking about days later. That said, everything we've tried over multiple visits has been consistently excellent. It's the kind of menu where you feel safe branching out because you know it's going to deliver. The space itself adds to the whole experience. The architecture is beautiful, with warm wood tones and big windows that bring in natural light and make the river views part of the meal. It manages to feel polished and special without being stuffy. You can dress up a little or come in relaxed and still feel right at home. And the service is always attentive in that effortless way. Our servers have consistently been knowledgeable, present, and genuinely welcoming without hovering. It makes the whole night feel easy.

It was about 11:30 and the place was getting busy. By the time we left there was a short line out the door waiting to be seated and the parking lot was full.

We will definitely be back.

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.

Overall, this is a solid diner, but it doesn't particularly stand out from others. The service was…read morefast and friendly, exactly what you'd expect from a good diner. We visited around 10 a.m. on a Sunday and had about a 35-minute wait, which wasn't surprising for a busy weekend morning. The prices are on the higher side for a diner. My veggie omelette was $21, and while it was good, the home fries were just average. We also ordered the lobster omelette for $35. Although it's pricey, it came with a generous portion of lobster, which helped justify the cost. One thing to note is that there's also a 3% kitchen fee added to the bill, so keep that in mind.
