Love this place so much!! It's all you could hope for in a little diner honestly. The food is hot and fast, the hollandaise sauce is delicious, and they even have a bar so you can get bloody mary's and mimosas. Most importantly, the waitstaff are amazing! This place is small and they are always busy, so be prepared to wait. But the farm across the street is full of fun stuff to look at so I suggested popping over there! read more

Food and service were good. I had the lobster Benedict, and it was very good; the poached egg was cooked perfectly - the hollandaise sauce was good, but it could've used a better butter for more flavor and possibly a bit more seasoning. I had good service, and I thought the prices were reasonable. It's a good quality, homemade breakfast. read more

HIDDEN GEM ALERT!!!!! This was the best breakfast I have ever had, the eggs were incredibly fluffy and cooked to perfection! The wait staff were friendly and helpful and made delicious mixed drinks - I got a Bailey's coffee that was to die for. My mother, who for the Irish Omelette with homemade corn beef hash, said that the hash was the best she's ever had! It gets busy on Sunday mornings, so get there early, but it is WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!! read more

Squaretoe's Restaurant - Steak with eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kennebunk, Maine

The options that stood out to us were the French toast and hash browns. The home fries were a bit under, so maybe request extra crispy? As soon as we sat down, coffee was offered (just keep in mind, if you get another drink you still have to pay for the coffee as it is not included). The wait time we were given was extremely off; Instead of a 30 minute wait, it was a little more than an hour, which was disappointing. I feel like this breakfast spot may be a little over hyped, more touristy than a local spot. It may have been an off day, but there wasn't much to remember. read more

Squaretoe's Restaurant - French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kennebunk, Maine

Decadent dining from a delightful diner, Squaretoe's earned it's five star rating due to the welcoming and accommodating staff, the timely service, and the above average breakfast fare. We inadvertently arrived an hour before closing time and the place was full. Just to make sure I wasn't gonna be "that guy" I checked with the lady at the door to make sure we had time to eat and she says "Oh yeah! Of course, as long as you don't mind waiting 5 minutes or so??" I assured her we didn't and asked if we'd have time to eat without them closing late; "Hey, sweetly, we ain't gonna cut ya off!" Perfect. So after a short wait time we sat down at a table for two and had ice cold drinks and a mug of coffee within seconds. The menu was straightforward and not too crowded so it didn't take long to decide what to order. Without hesitation I opted for the Lobster Benedict; "When in Main...", right? After waiting for what felt like an eternity (I was starving and my wife assured me it had only been 7 or 8 minutes, AND the place WAS full) our food arrived. My wife claims that when my eyes landed on my plate my face lit up like a kid on Christmas. I believe it because damn, it looked immaculate. Tasted better than it looked! The perfectly poached egg atop fresh steamed chunks, and I mean CHUNKS, of lobster, smothered in hollandaise sauce all piled on a toasted English muffin set my tastebuds into overdrive. Maybe not, but this breakfast dish looked as New England to me as biscuits and gravy with a side order of ammo is to the southern U.S. And the home fries? Crispy on the outside and smooth as butter on the inside. A side dish that almost tasted as good as the main course and that's hard to do. The place was clean with overly satisfactory service and a fairly low rumble of murmur from the other patrons. Overall an exceptional dining experience that I highly recommend to anyone in the area. read more

This used to be a great place for locals, I went for decades, but the prices have doubled in the past couple of years, and the food has gone downhill. When you walk in you can see the grill set up like a fast food place now, with a foot high stack of hash browns on the grill - which explains why they were mushy and flavorless. Toast was cold, Portions small. Breakfast was pretty much school cafeteria level - for two of us it was $45 before tip. I knew there was a reason I only saw out of state plates in the parking lot and I didn't run into anyone I know as I usually would - this is just a place now just trying to make a buck off of them. read more

Breakfast was delicious, coffee, eggs, toast, home fries very flavorful and crispy! Good service and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Great food Extremely nice service Loved the food Would definitely come back again Went there with a good friend to celebrate my birthday read more

We stopped in after having no luck at the local bakery. Glad we did! We were all pleasantly surprised how good this place was. No frills, no fuss- just low key, good food. The blueberry pancakes were huge and flavorful. Service was slow, but they were busy. We didn't mind since we weren't in a rush. The hostess was friendly and quick to greet us. The inside is small and a bit noisy, but I like to think of it as cozy! read more

This review was originally going to be an email to the manager and owner. However, after the owner tried to tell my sister to take down her review, emotionally blackmail, and gaslight her I decided I would like to make this public! :) I have literally never written a negative review anywhere before. We arrived at 9:20am with a party of 5 adults and 2 kids, and were informed it would "be a bit because they have nothing available right now". Totally fine, my mom asked how long it would be. The hostess said about 30 minutes. Not an issue, we went across the street and picked out some treats. Came back just to check in at about 30 minutes later, and was told it would be another 15 minutes, and they still have nothing available. That's fine, we see this is a small restaurant. Then, the waitress behind us piped in and said "yeah, it's gonna be a while...". I ignored that but felt kind of uncomfortable. We should have left at this point in hind sight. We waited outside for about another 25 minutes, and at this point, we really felt ignored and like the hostess didn't care.  We told the hostess that we are leaving, and were informed then that they are getting our table ready right now. We said no thank you, and before we could express our feelings and offer feedback, the 2 hostesses said "okay bye".  I am a manager, and I understand that if a customer is being rude, you just want to get them out and not dig deeper. However, we were not rude at any point, and truly had a bad feeling the second we walked in. We had 2 crazy kiddos with us, and I feel like that was the problem they had with us. I have never felt so disrespected, especially with the two hostesses just ignoring our thoughts on the experience. They explained it is a very small restaurant, and we totally understand that! It is a small place. But we were unheard when we tried to explain that we felt ignored, and that they were frankly rude and annoyed by us the whole 60+ minutes we were waiting.  They were certainly happy that we were leaving as we were clearly a bother. I did ask one of the girls to stop smirking, because it was so disrespectful. Again, as a manager, I am in situations much more serious than a table being available for breakfast. However, I saw a lack of pride and trying to help their customers have a nice experience.  Also, the owner told my sister that she watched and overheard the whole thing happen, but never stepped in? I HIGHLY recommend to the owner and management some communication and emotional intelligence training if having a young staff and telling us we should have asked for an "adult". read more

I had a lobster roll and it was tasteless. My husband had a blueberry pancake and it was delicious.

Great recommendation from our stay at the Kennebunk Inn! I had the French toast with sausage links and my husband had the coconut French toast. Both dishes were delicious! read more

Hands down the best breakfast we had all weekend and probably on the lip of top favs ever. The lobster omelet was FULL of lobster, I mean FULL. The lobster benedict was DELICIOUS! MY husband ordered it. The English muffin is usually so blah when ordering a benedict, but this em was delicious. The hollandaise sauce over the lobster, omg- just so yum. The blueberry pancakes were to die for. The show stopper here was some hashbrown tater tots. Listen, I am not sure what they put in them, but it is very important you order a plate and indulge. I mean, they were really good- like highlight of my trip great. Service was quick and efficient. Once you are done eating, walk around the garden across the street. They have a cute shop with pies and cookies, some cool local beer in the cooler and beautiful dried floral arrangements. If I weren't flying, I would have brought some back home. read more

Food was stellar, service was good, ambiance; felt like part of the normal morning crowd just enjoying an amazing breakfast. Will def be back in the future! read more

Haven't been here for a very long time and probably won't be back for a long time. We both had breakfast really nothing special home fries were undercooked one egg was broken corn beef hash nothing special. The worst part was some kid was running wild and the two waitresses thought it was cute I wanted to have a nice meal not go to a daycare. read more

While a wait can be long in the summer, this is a great spot for breakfast or lunch. The pancakes are huge and outstanding.

A fantastic breakfast stop just beyond (or before, depending on your direction of travel) downtown Kennebunk. The corned beef hash is the star attraction here, and the Irish Omelette is filled with it. Not a place to dawdle after breakfast because they want to turn the tables over to serve the big crowds. read more

Absolutely by far one of the breakfasts I have ever had. I had the omelette Florentine and my girlfriend had the hollandaise Florentine excellent .fresh it is slow because it is busy but worth the wait read more

I love salty food, so much so that I've often had people give me the side-eye when we eat out together because I really overdo it with the salt shaker. I've cut back significantly for health reasons, but I still allow myself to order one of my sodium-soaked breakfast favorites as a special occasional treat: corned beef hash. Theirs is homemade ("but we offer it canned, too" [who prefers canned?!]) so I ordered the #5 which is corned beef hash with eggs, choice of beans or home fries and toast (they have gluten-free). Surprisingly, for the first time ever, I ate corned beef hash that had waaay too much salt for my liking. My husband ordered it (another salt lover) and he agreed. It's too bad because otherwise I loved the large chunks of beef. The eggs and the gluten-free toast were good. The potatoes were just OK and not crisped. I forgot to request that when ordering. I still give them four stars because it was clean, service was fast and friendly, and my workaround for the wicked salty corned beef was to not salt the rest of my food. read more

Good food and reasonable prices. Service was excellent and the wait time was not too bad for the crowd.

This place cooks there Benedict amazing I recommend this place to everybody the flavor is out of this world.

Super cute cozy spot to get some hearty breakfast eats before starting your day. Don't get me wrong. They are more then just a breakfast place and are opened all day. But I like them for breakfast. They make great crispy Bacon and have an awesome menu. And they have a very inviting feel that adds to the whole Maine experience. Check them out if in the area. read more

The food is so gooood and homemade. The staff is fantastic!. I would highly recommend them for a great meal.

Came here for brunch this summer and sat outside. Food was solid, service was great and drinks were strong. We got the steak and eggs, corned beef benedict, and a blueberry pancake on the side. The pancake was delicious and I'd recommend getting that on the side of whatever you're having. All in all. A great experience. read more

I stopped in today for an early lunch. My pastrami Reuben was delicious, meat was flavorful and the sandwich was crispy. My husband got the grilled chicken sandwich and said it was very good. The chicken was well cooked and tender. The French fries are nice and crisp. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. I'll definitely go back read more

Very friendly, great simple food, good coffee !! The hash is really good and on the lunch menu they serve a great Rubin

My friend and I ventured here for breakfast this morning and it was absolutely delicious! They serve breakfast all day, small diner/restaurant feel and the staff is very polite, professional, and friendly. We ordered the lobster eggs Benedict and it was perfection as I cut into the egg yolks and golden nectar spilled out; the whites were not undercooked one bit, so whoever is in the kitchen poaching the eggs is doing a great job! We also got a side of sausage patties (they also come in links) and they were absolutely delicious! The plates came also came with home fries. The menu had a lot of other delicious choices (I hear a lot of positive things about the blueberry pancakes, so if eggs aren't your thing those looked amazing). We would/will definitely come again! read more

Squaretoe's was recommended to us by a local coffeehouse owner down the street and I'm so happy we took her advice. My friend and I were visiting Maine from NJ and were so excited to be eating the local food, specially lobster. We both got the Lobster Benedict. YUMMM. If you've ever been to NJ, you know there is an over abundance of diner/breakfast joints and this breakfast was on par, if not better than any Benedict I've gotten at home. They also know how to make home fries the right way! The wait staff was also extremely pleasant and attentive. Highly recommend! read more

Average small New England diner. Clean and well kept, small parking lot but ample free street parking, wheelchair accessible ramp on side of building, and one bathroom. Food was good, definitely recommend the Maine blueberry pancakes which weren't overly sweet. Coffee was mediocre. Service was a bit slow but there was only one waitress when I went and the hostess didn't take any tables which I think is odd considering there was only one waitress. If you're looking for a sit down breakfast before you go adventuring, then this is the place for you. read more

What a name. Tyler couldn't stand it here, and I don't know why. He was just being cranky after a long weekend of binge drinking in a very odd Airbnb. This was hangover food, nothing more. This was utility. The bathroom was...I'm sorry, Mr. Squaretoes. One, because of your name. Good gravy. But two, I am sorry for whatever your patrons did to that poor bathroom. I wish I could remember what I ordered, but at the same time, I'm good. I just wanted to lend my support to the Squaretoe family and let them know that even though I hallucinated a giant floating duck in the river we passed over on the way there, I had a fine time and would come back, maybe, if I had to. read more

After making us wait they decide because we have a "cute" service dog we cannot be in their restaurant. Even ask for papers which is discriminatory and illegal. "She is cute" but we can't serve you. Service dogs come in all shapes and sizes educate your staff or post no service dogs on your entry. Small dogs can work too. What a rude experience read more

My husband and I stopped here looking for a new breakfast place. After our 30min wait we sat down at 11:21. At 12:07 we overheard the one cook talk about our order because they were just beginning to cook it. Between our waitress and her wonderful memory and attitude and our food just starting (they weren't THAT busy) we offered to pay for our coffee and juice but we're told not to worry about it. We won't be stopping here again and don't recommend it. The food looked subpar anyways. Onto the next. read more

Best Corned Beef hash ive ever had. Its so good that I ate it in July on vacation and its November and I'm reminiscing out of the blue. Smokey, crispy mildly salty,, and amazing flavors surrounded by that runny over easy egg, just waiting to get mopped up with some rye bread. Obviously the most memorable breakfast of my life. read more
