Perfect buttery flaky homemade biscuit that flakes BUT ALSO keeps its structure. Blown away. Came in at Sunday at 9:30AM and we were able to find seats.

Had the regular Vermont Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup and the flavors were perfect for a drizzly day! Only comment I'll make is a half grilled sandwich with a cup of soup would be a great addition to the menu for times when you need a smaller amount to eat. I took half the sandwich and half the soup home. Overall, fantastic!!

​The food is far too expensive for what you actually get. The grilled cheese was worse than one I'd…read moremake at home--the sandwich itself was paper-thin, the bread was barely toasted or crispy, and it felt like they only used a single slice of cheese. Charging extra for basic toppings like tomato on an already overpriced sandwich is ridiculous. The tomato soup was the only decent thing about the meal. ​To make matters worse, the place was crowded and filthy, with crumbs all over the tables and floors. There was nowhere to sit, partly because single patrons were taking up four-person tables without staff intervention. Definitely not worth your money

Since this was not my first trip to Portland, I wanted to revisit some old favorites while also…read morechecking out places I had not been to before. Marcy's was part of the latter - I had seen the name float around a while, and since the reviews looked great I thought it would be a good place to have breakfast. That being said, I made plans to check it out. Marcy's is a small corner diner, located just off Congress Street near the Portland Museum of Art. It wasn't crowded when I arrived, and immediately got a seat at the counter. The interior is super casual - more casual than an average diner, but is also very welcoming. I can see this place getting crowded/a wait during peak times as there are only a few tables in addition to the counter. The diner is only open for breakfast and lunch, 5 days per week. The menu has several breakfast staples as well as some more creative dishes they concocted. I didn't want to go off the beaten path, so I focused on their breakfast combos which had a mixture of eggs and carbs. I decided on their Number 6 which contained choice eggs (I got scrambled), has browns, choice of breakfast meat (I got sausage), and choice of flavored pancakes (I got blueberry). The breakfast was delicious - the portions are large and I could tell they use quality ingredients. There isn't much more I can say outside of the fact that this was a solid meal with delicious food - it was really everything you want out of a diner breakfast. Service was also great - everyone was friendly and chill; I could tell they get along well and that they put a lot of love into this place. Overall, Marcy's Diner is a yes - there is nothing flashy here, but I had a delicious meal in a friendly, casual environment. I wouldn't hesitate to return the next time I'm in Portland.

Once we had our table, the menu was what you'd expect from a typical diner, with local twists and tastes of the coast! Very enjoyable and worth the wait.

The restaurant is larger than it looks since there's a second seating area too. I'd recommend the Flight of mini lobster rolls (3x 2oz lobster rolls), which can be chilled or warmed. Prices are fair, at about $20 a lobster roll. Their ghee butter add another level to their lobster rolls and they don't skimp on meat! Definitely try out the Highroller and maybe get some of their iconic merch.

We ended up taking out order to a park nearby that had benches so it worked out. Me and my friend shared a flight, where it included 3 lobster rolls with 2 oz. of lobster and we chose the jalapeño mayo, lime mayo, and lobster ghee ones. My favorite one was probably the jalapeño mayo because I loved the kick, but all three were delicious. I would definitely recommend getting the flight since the rolls are smaller and you get to try the different sauces.

I found their combo with two kids burgers so satisfying for the desire of a time when that company we don't visit anymore had reasonable prices. I was happy to pay Butcher's prices because it was so much better than even the memories of those other burgers were. But the real reason I HAD to write this glowing review is that we also got the onion rings. These onion rings are the best damn onion rings I've ever had. I got full on the burgers and fries and first helping of rings. Then a few hours later I polished off the rest of the rings.
