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! The train car has a really cute, classic, old school design that genuinely throws you back 50 years.

We had breakfast at Friendly Toast while visiting Maine and it was one of our favorite meals of the…read moretrip. We had a large party of 9, and despite our size, the service was outstanding. Our waitress was incredibly friendly, sweet, and attentive. The food was delicious, and with nine people ordering all different items, everyone left happy. My personal favorite was the breakfast tacos--they were fantastic. The homemade jam was also a big hit at our table. What really stood out to me, though, was their homemade maple turmeric hot sauce. It was so good that I kept putting it on everything. I honestly wish they bottled and sold it because I would have bought several bottles to take home to Arizona and give as gifts to my coworkers. Great food, wonderful service, and a fun atmosphere. We would definitely come back the next time we're in Maine.

The wait staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was attentive and made sure to check in often. 3.5/5 - food. This was difficult because of the Portland food scene being so competitive. Overall, it was just average. The homemade hot sauce has the tiniest kick, but adds good flavor. Dishes were unique but didn't come off as anything to write home about.

Would definitely recommend and would go back.

Meh. I wanted to love this place and thought that we would when we saw the line. I got the…read morebreakfast sandwich. Fried egg, Swiss cheese, add bacon ($4) two measly slices on brioche bun. It was fairly bland, pedestrian, nothing special whatsoever. My dining partner got the pancake with Maine blueberries. It's a very cakey type of pancake. Large. I read they serve real Maine maple syrup on a site when deciding on coming here but was disappointed to see they charge an extra $2.50. Hmmmmm Service was lacking. I feel like they were short handed or servers over working too many tables. I got up to get my own Tobasco sauce since there was nobody around and my sandwich was half eaten while waiting for someone to come by. Overall, I left wanting more. Not fulfilled from the hype I had read in other reviews. Very mundane place. I would not go back. Cannot recommend this place.

First time trying Hot Suppa in Portland and it definitely lived up to the hype. I ordered the whole…read morepork egg sandwich (without the egg) and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked pork with great flavor in every bite. I also tried a bite of the biscuits and gravy at the table and they were rich, comforting, and seriously tasty. The drinks were just as impressive. The espresso martini was perfectly balanced, and even the mocktail was refreshing and well made. And our waitress was the sweetest (and honestly the prettiest!). She was so warm and friendly that I'd come back just to chat with her again. Great service, great food, great experience overall. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Portland.

We've been trying to visit Hot Suppa during our past few trips to Portland, but never really had a…read morechance to. When we finally came during the off season, we thought this would be the perfect opportunity since wait times were shorter. The wait on a Saturday afternoon was about 15-20 minutes. I will say - I had high hopes for Hot Suppa. Between my fiance and I, we ordered the waffle, side of corned beef hash, and the fried green tomatoes eggs benny. The corned beef hash here is excellent - that I do have to acknowledge. I was a bit underwhelmed by the fried green tomatoes though. The tomatoes were just okay, but the excessive hollandaise sauce really just made the whole dish waaay too heavy. It was also just messy. Service was slow & our waitress tended to disappear for long periods of time. Coffee & water refills both took a long time. Parking here is difficult but not impossible. Most spots are only for an hour or so.

This was our fourth or…read morefifth time going to Porthole, a couple of times when Portland when visiting on a cruise and a few more times with family while visiting Maine. We enjoy dining al fresco so we are always happy to be seated on the outside deck. There is indoor dining too, but lucky for us, it has been sunny every time we have dined there. The building is housed in the former customs wharf building which gives it a nautical feel...the salty, slightly fishy air and the boats bobbing along the pier really make the scenery very picturesque. There is indoor seating, too. The staff is friendly and efficient. They are always accommodating, no matter the size of our party or the nature of the request. They seem to enjoy the hustle of the lunch crowd and everyone works in synch, like a well oiled machine. The food is always very good! We have never been disappointed. We have gotten whole lobsters with the perfunctory bib as well as all sorts of soups, handhelds and entrees. And every kind of seafood under the sun! This trip we loved the Casco Bay soup (I think we get this every time we go - it's that good) as well as a club sandwich and the fish and chips. The fish and chips are definitely a good value. So many pieces of delicious, fresh cod and loads of fries as well as cold slaw are guaranteed to fill you up! We were a party of 10 (including three children) and everyone loved their lunch, as usual! The cost is about what you would expect for a restaurant on the water in a popular town. We always love to walk around the quaint, cobbled streets looking at souvenirs and in the many varied shops of every kind. It's a great way to spend a day!
