There are places that are famous for being famous, and this is arguably one of them, but I've had good luck here with both the burger and the pie. It's an old time place with veteran servers and an old time menu. Don't miss the pie; it's a stunner. The blueberry pie has smaller berries than the prefab stuff, and some tartness along with the sweet. read more

Disappointed. I remember from childhood that this place was a classic diner with good food at a good price. Now, basically, OK food at an OK price. Nothing to write Yelp about here. But ok for a quick bite when on the road. I had OJ (from concentrate), 2 eggs over easy, bacon, and 2 blueberry pancakes with cold butter and corn syrup. Service was nice enough. read more

My wife and I were very happy with our dinners. She had the open face turkey and I had the grilled haddock. Good pie good service.

They definitely mastered breakfast. We eaten here for over 20 years every time we come up to visit my husband's hometown and the family farm. We've had quite a bit from the breakfast menu and everything has been delicious. I recommend their gravy and biscuits because it is one of the best I have ever eaten. The blueberry pancakes are full of blueberries and big enough to share with three people. We've only eaten here for breakfast so my recommendation is based on their breakfast menu. Every server we've ever had has always been polite and quick to get us whatever we needed. So whether you live here or whether you are visiting it's definitely worth the trip to Moody's to eat. read more

An authentic diner with that old-times feel! We sat at the counter, and the service started off slow, but picked up. We ordered a grilled pastrami sandwich with onion rings- the sandwich was delicious, the onion rings were just okay. Also, a crab roll which was delicious but expensive! Lastly, some really great blueberry pie. Many people taking around us were regulars who knew one another and the waitstaff, and didn't hesitate to include us right along in their convos. There was a line when we got there and a line still when we left- popular place! read more

I grew up in Maine but never ate there until many years later, when I'd moved out of state and had gone back to visit. I now feel like I missed out because Moody's really does have top-notch food. The prices are high for diner food, and if you are looking for gigantic meal portions, you'll probably want to look somewhere else. But Moody's certainly gives you your money's worth in terms of the flavor and quality of food, and portions are just big enough to leave you feeling satisified. Everything has that fresh, homemade taste. The pies are not to be missed... the berry pies are crammed sky-high with fruit, and a slice of warmed berry pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is pretty much heaven in a dish. If I lived close by, I'd be a regular! read more

Love this place. Always a good meal and good service. We come to Maine every year, and always make sure to get our Moody's fix!

Interesting Diner! Very busy country cooking. Must be a very popular place, it even has a separate gift shop. I ordered Haddock Rueben with sweet potato fries. Jeff ordered Meatball Sub & onion rings. read more

This is cheap food, not great food. We thought at least that the blueberry pie would be outstanding, but it wasn't. It was good but not exceptional -- good flavor, but a bit watery, and not quite on the level as some other blueberry pies we've gotten from Maine bakeries. read more

Moodys diner was a wonderful sweet famous spot! Local favorite! There was a line out the door today! The meals are super reasonably priced! This is exactly what you'd expect of a diner. Great food, great prices! Be sure to have a moon pie and check out the gift shop on the way out! read more

Can't say much more that hasn't already been said. Yes....it might be crowded and you have to wait for a table. Yes....it is worth it. Great food and value especially for a touristy area. Haddock cakes were fantastic and the blueberry pie can't be beat. Lots of hardworking folks running the place too! read more

Hooray!! A old style diner that has stood the test of time. I cannot express how thrilled I am by this. Also, I have found what I would consider a "local" favorite. Two thumbs up and I haven't even put a fork to my mouth. My haddock roll really was not a roll, but rather a sandwich. The fillet was very generous and tasty (even though it was fried). It was served plain.. lettuce, tartar sauce, and pickles. The cole slaw was excellent. If they added just a touch of pineapple it would be exceptional. Finally, the onion rings were very thinly sliced making it more like and onion string, which was a better option. For dessert, the bread pudding was not over powering in sweetness and an excellent complement to a wonderful lunch. If your making a run from Freeport to Rockport, this really is worth stopping off for a visit. I don't frequent this part of Maine at all, but after finding Moody's I have a reason to come back. read more

Diner category 4 stars here. As Meagan H said, stick with the diner food. We stopped here for breakfast and the place was really jammed. Nonetheless, we were seated at a booth fairly quickly and in short order we were grubbin' on some awesome blueberry pancakes, eggs, omelets and such. Great food, especially the pancakes. I'm getting hungry right now just thinking back to that stack full of fresh Maine blueberry goodness. Yum. Since 1927. read more

A nice sized diner with tables, booths, a "bar," and a whole lot of history. We went for lunch during what looked the rush and only had to wait about 15 minutes. You walk in, get a number, then they point you to your booth. The patrons were mostly seniors but that seemed a theme in the area I was in. The menu was HUGE. Something for everyone with things I've never had like fried scallops. I went with the lobster roll (because Maine and we don't get great lobster in Kansas) and even though it was the cold with mayo kind, it was divine. The lobster had such a good flavor and the mayo wasn't heavy. The bread was delicious and not overly thick. My coworker had a burger that he thought was done very well. For both of our meals and a soft drink it was something like ~$35 after the tip. Well worth it! This place seemed famous and I could definitely see why. I didn't get any sweets, but their donuts and the pie seemed like a HUGE hit with everyone else. The service was great even though they were busy. Highly recommend! read more

Had an ample fried haddock sandwich with lettuce and tartar sauce. A heaping cereal-bowl sized order (the large) of homemade battered onion rings treated our party of four to sublime, thinly coated, and crisp batter over large sweet rings of onion. For me, the highlight of the meal was a slice of the four berry pie (strawberries, blueberries, red raspberries, and blackberries). Yummy with the thinnest crust ever. read more

Typical diner fare-- recommend this as a rest stop for coffee, blueberry pie (chalk full of beautiful blueberries!), and a bathroom break. They're shortstaffed and a little snippy to us as customers, to be honest... not my best diner experience but not the worst. The pie was AMAZING, the batbrooms clean, and there's plenty if parking. read more

Good and service is great! Down home cooking from the hearts of Maine Cooks. Cabins to sleep it off also.

Best fried clam roll I've had in years. Cole slaw was great too. Daughter had a turkey reuben which she said was also delicious. Service was friendly and reasonably fast. read more

More famous than actually good. We were in the area so figured why not. There was about a 15 minute wait. We got a plastic card with a random number on it. Once seated, the server was very nice and attentive. The place had the classic diner atmosphere and feel. We sat at a typical diner booth. I ordered the Haddock chowder and fried seafood combo. The chowder was OK, but not great. The seafood platter was sort of bland and heavily battered. The batter was to heavy for my liking. The shrimps were tiny and did not taste fresh. The battered Haddock was probably the best part of the meal, but I had better while in Maine. The coffee was decent. It was worth the one time experience. read more

I have a severe shellfish allergy and was so grateful to the chef at Moody's Diner willing to separately grill fish for fish sandwiches for my husband and I. It was excellent, as was the strawberry shortcake I got for dessert, all of it to go. This was the real deal, as they say. it is the first time in years I was able to get the ingredients for a real Maine strawberry shortcake, just like the kind I had as a kid growing up in coastal Maine. This is a very popular restaurant and was completely full when I arrived. The experience brought me back to my childhood and the great food I had back then. I am so grateful, and I did dream of the strawberry shortcake many times later. read more

Moody's Diner - Seafood goodness!!!!! - Diners Near Me - Waldoboro, Maine

Did you actually visit Maine if you didn't stop at Moody's? Try the pie and thank me later. Plate licking good.

Typical but satisfying diner. Great menu with many options. You can get breakfast all day. WONDERFUL homemade desserts. Reasonable prices. Great service. Lots of good seafood options for you tourists out there. Kind of run down and in need of renovation (especially the floor) but clean and typical of a mom and pop type diner. Clearly a place for the locals to go, and it is usually busy. I have been here several times and will return. read more

While on my Maine trip last month I drove by this place on Route 1. I saw all the cars and it looked cute so I turned around and ordered some lunch. Service was good and it wasn't a long wait. Turkey and mashed potatoes were delicious and they didn't skimp on the gravy. Place was clean and had that authentic old school diner feel. I even stopped in on my way back home a few days later to grab a slice of the famous blueberry pie. Deliciousness in every bite. 2nd time I went it was so crowded that the line was practically out the door and you could hardly move after you got in the door with all the people waiting to be seated. But as soon as I took my first bite of that blueberry pie it was worth it. You can get whole pies from them too you just have to call 24 hours in advance. Great little diner here. No doubt I'll be back next time in Maine. Definitely worth checking out if your in the area. read more

Welcome to diner heaven. All the kitsch and charm, lots of framed photos of folks wearing Moody's gear around the world, mature waitresses with humor, nostalgia, and delicious food.

Real mashed potatoes. Strawberry rhubarb pie was huge and wonderful. read more

This is a cool, old throwback to the diner age. From outside it kind of looks like a couple of trailers end to end. Up the ramp and in the door, it's a bustling diner. It was a Monday, about 11am. Only a couple of open tables. The servers were busy with their tables, but did say hello, we'll seat you shortly. We were sitting at a table in under a minute. It did start to get busy at this point, and there were folks waiting for a table soon. I think that's a sign of good eats! Our server was a smiling young lady who was very polite. We got drinks right away. It was outside my breakfast window, so I looked at lunch. My travel companion ordered breakfast. THE FOOD: I was brought a fresh made biscuit first. It was very tasty. With butter, outstanding! I settled for a seafood platter which included, shrimp, scallops, haddock sticks, clams and clam strips. I also ordered mashed potatoes and beer battered onion rings. I loved the scallops and haddock. The shrimp and clams were ok, but the batter on them was a bit thick for such small pieces. The clam strips had a lot of clam flavor.. very good. The mashed potatoes and gravy were just ok. The onion rings I liked, but I don't think the potatoes or beer battered onion rings were scratch made. My companion had an omelet and raisin toast which she enjoyed. Overall, friendly, local service, good selection and great homemade biscuits (among other homemade items) I really enjoyed. I wanted to try a Whoopie Pie and donut, but I was STUFFED!!! read more

Has gone down hill food is all frozen or premade and often cold Servers are rude. Don't listen to customers orders.

When we arrived at our bed and breakfast I asked the owner where to get the best blueberry pie he immediately said Moody's Diner. It was a 30 minute drive but so worth it! A huge slice of pie with at least 3 scoops of delicious ice cream. The blueberries are for sure real local Maine blueberries. Small but super sweet. My wife got the coconut cream pie and said it was the best she has ever had! I have heard their diner fare is so so but you should definitely go for the pie! read more

Best whoopie pies in Maine. They are moist, creamy, and the size is huge. At $3.50 each, you can't beat that anywhere else. The blueberry pancakes are so fluffy and delicious.

Its definitely a gem. read more

Just a typical mediocre diner. The food is greasy and not high quality. I had their lobster roll and the bun/roll was dry and gross. Only giving 2 stars because their dessert/pies are really good. Only go here for dessert. read more

Lives up to its reputation. Had the Lobster Stew on a rainy summer night - doesn't get much better than that. Also the clams are just what you would like - fried, not fussy and taste great. And blueberry pie? Emphatic yes, We had the pie for an appetizer - don't think late night eats - good to get there between 6-7 pm. Great career staff - and fantastic Maine accents. read more

Classic "diner" experience. Great comfort food. Biscuits to die for. Onion rings rock. Daily specials. Breakfast all day too.
