    What a hidden gem! Relaxing rustic atmosphere, great breakfast menu selections, attentive/friendly service & affordable prices....what else can you ask for! My wife and I shared a Dublin Omelette with home fries and rye toast...oh yeah some tasty Bloody Marys too! The corn beef was awesome with portions like you would get on St Patty's Day. For our 1st visit, I give this diner 5 stars and we will certainly be back for breakfast again & probably lunch too. Enjoy!

    Biscuit and gravy. Eggs Benedict and corn beef hash.

    The breakfast here is filling and delicious. I had the biscuits and gravy and it was pure comfort food. The wife always gets the friends w benefits, errrr eggs benedict and said that they were done perfectly. We also ordered the corn beef to split and it was very succulent. The service was ok and the place definitely needs a host. The seat yourself policy is good for buffets, but not here. Everyone that is waiting for a table is intently staring at you to leave. It completely ruins the ambiance of the place. We had two breakfast entree's and a side of hash with two coffee's and our total was 63.24.

    Veggie Omelet

    Delish! Grab a seat at the bar or at one of the tables and you won't be disappointed. The waitstaff is friendly and moves people through the restaurant in a timely fashion. The food is farm fresh and savory. Sure to delight your crowd young or old. Don't be alarmed by the line out the door as it is one of the only (and best) breakfast stops in the area.

    Amazing brunch spot in Gorham. It can get busy and you just wait in line and get a seat at an open table. No hostess or a place to put your name which is a little different but we just had to wait about 10 Minutes. They have a big inside so the tables flip pretty fast. I had an omelette and it was really good, they seem to have lots of different options and the food was great. They also have specials. I will be back!

    First off, this place is amazing. It has taken so long to go here because they are always slammed! There is always a wait. Today we were able to get in!! Our wait was about 15 min. Once a table is clean you seat yourself. Our waitress was prompt, attentive and super friendly. I like to ask staff what their favorite dish is.. she was quick to respond biscuits and gravy... so that is what I ordered. I added it with friend chicken and had my eggs scrambled. it was delicious and very filling! My friend had the crab cake Benny and she said it was delicious! Now let's talk Mimosas! So many flavors to choose from! I started with a tropical Mimosa. It was perfect reminded me of a sunny tropical vacation which was perfect since we had just recovered from a winter storm over the weekend. Then I had their cheesecake Mimosa! Not bad! Out of the two. Tropical was my favorite! Look forward to returning!

    Veggie Bene
    Terrilynn D.

    The menu at blue pig has some fairy unusual combinations of choices. I was looking for something on the healthy end, so I ended up with the veggie Benedict. The vegetables were good and the eggs cooked to perfection. I liked the grilled English muffin and asked for an extra... That cost me three dollars. although the food is good in my opinion, it's over priced for the amount you get. The music is very loud country music so I took in my AirPods to block it out a bit. (I was alone.). The building is on the street corner downtown, so passing trucks, add extra volume of noise. I think I'd like everything a little quieter... The staff is very friendly and attentive. But $21 for a veggie Bene and an English muffins is pretty steep, IMO.

    Bacon
    Grace R.

    I am visiting Maine this weekend and found this great place to eat. The blue pig has a very taste bacon and makes a mouth watering breakfast. It is definitely an experience for anyone who is looking to start the day right. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The piggy pictures all around would make you smile.

    Pastrami Benedict
    Sarah C.

    I've only been to the blue pig once a few years ago and couldn't remember much but enjoyed a breakfast here on a Sunday morning. Seating was painless, the directions leading us to choose any empty/clean table, and we got a nice spot next to the window. The menu is simple with breakfast on one side and lunch on the other. Few staff were masked. The order came out in just 15 or so minutes and I ordered the pastrami Benedict. The eggs were poached perfectly and the pastrami, while slightly salty, was not too bad -- they certainly did not skimp. My friend however, ordered some waffles with her regular breakfast with two eggs and those looked a bit light and had a very bland taste, taking the medal for least impressive item on our table. By 9-10ish, there was a line out the door and no empty tables so while we didn't feel rushed, I wouldn't expect to come here and be able to sit around after your meal for too long on the weekends.

    Chicken Benedict........Amazing!!!
    Shane B.

    We stopped into the diner for breakfast and I wanted to try something different so I tried the fried chicken Benedict. Wow! It was an amazing breakfast. The chicken was crispy and was over a slice of ham and cheese, topped with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce, oh yeah, can't forget the grilled English muffins.

    Shit on a Shingle - gourmet version!
    Kim L.

    Two of our friends are definite devotees of The Blue Pig, and we finally were able to join them! What a find! The Bloody Mary's were excellent and the food - wow. Wayne enjoyed the "shit on a shingle" (not sure they call it that on the menu, but you know what we mean!) It was like a gourmet version - to quote Wayne "this isn't what my mom made!". I had, again, Eggs Benedict and the preparation was superb. The hollandaise was not too heavy and not too dense - perfect! As were the home fries. We'll definitely be back.

They were not anything compared to the Trader Joe's blueberry muffins in terms of softness and moisture...Costco blueberry muffins are a little bit less dry than these. - the grilled bit of the muffin was a bit of a letdown. It is just literally cut in half and put on top of a grill for maybe a few minutes for the char lines and that's it. Nothing else done to it - they made it sound like it had something else so I'm pretty disappointed in that one. - BUT the chocolate pancake was DELICIOUS. It's like Betty Crocker chocolate cake mix on a pan, in the shape of a pancake, and chocolate frosting/fudge/ganache? On top, with white icing to make the squiggle. Would buy over the muffin tbh. - the chili was swimming with cheese, so if you like that it's for you. My bf couldn't eat his because it was a thick glob of melted cheese every time he lifted his fork. BUT I myself adore cheese so I would've been happy with that. Maybe they can ask customers how much cheese they want? That'd solve that problem. Low/Medium/High levels of cheese?

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.

Seats in relaxing booths plus plenty of stools. Servers very experienced and very friendly. It's a comforting environment. Their many loyal "regulars" are there for a reason. I've already got a few visits under my belt and liked them enough to have bought a souvenir mug. First visit actually reviewing was a breakfast trying the Hobson's Sampler with eggs, meat, homefries, toast, pancakes, and many choices among them. -- Scrambled Eggs: Nothing remarkable but no mistakes. Cooked just right, avoiding brownage and runny goopage. -- Homefries: Cut into non-cubes with heights less than the widths, achieving better crispness that way. Good variety of textures. Not much seasoning or onion, but solid homefries. -- Sausage Links (3): Standard. Lightly crisped, still juicy. Seems easy, but hardly anyone does them this well. -- English Muffin: I told the server to skip the toast, seeing there'd be plenty of carbs with the two pancakes, but she strongly recommended trying the English muffins, since they were homemade. Great flavor, great choice. Will have these again and I recommend you try them too. -- Pancakes (2): Fluffy and delicious. And big. Not elite, but really close. Enough that you'd have to go to 10 other places before finding one better. Just a great all-around place. No wow factor, but on every visit (all breakfasts), everything was good, right down to the efficient and friendly service.

I parked behind Roots and realized it's a super cute place as I walked up. It shares the building with Green Tree Ministries. They might be one in the same? But they are definitely related. I walked in and saw all these books on shelves, and upon closer inspection, there was little cards in the shape of business cards that were for the taking. Each with a different Christian saying or a verse from the Bible. There was something for everyone. This wall of books goes between Roots Cafe and Green Tree Ministries... so I suspect. Well, I did grab a book ("Why Business Matters to God" by Jeff Van Duzer) and a iced Sugar Plum Latte (latte with a lovely purple blackberry vanilla foam). And I also got some chicken meatballs that were yummy and warm. The service was super nice. I thought the barista was so well hidden back there, though, I prefer when you can see the barista crafting beverages, I just find it neat. But that's okay, the ambiance of the place is warm. There is a huge meeting table, there is two different bar areas to sit, there's a couch corner, and tables. It's winter so I didn't see the outdoor seating, but I am sure it's neat. Food was good, coffee was great, service was kind, bathroom was super clean, parking was easy. I mean what's not to like? I LOVE that it's Christian. I felt so included and loved. I enjoyed the ambiance and the people around me. Some reading bibles and doing study, others just enjoying the good food. I also had a brownie that was quiet tasty.
