    We had a wonderful experience coming to Blue Pig Diner. It's first come first serve so we had to wait about 45 mins for a table of 6-7. The staff were so friendly and tried to help us get a table as soon as possible. They even kicked out two women that stayed way after paying at the table for 6. Our server was so nice, knowledgeable, and tried to help in every way. We all got a drink and brunch. Everything was delicious and came out quickly after ordering. It was quiet but a great atmosphere. They were willing to accommodate minor changes to the menu. All the food was fantastic. I would definitely come back, just with a smaller party. It was a wonderful experience.

    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!

    1 brunch menu can feed 2-3 people easily. I came for the pancake but end up with corned beef with muffin and medium cook egg (delicious) and a side of pancake. The side of a pancake is actually super jumbo 1 stack pancake that cost $4.5. Their portion is unbelievable huge (not complaining) on top of that the quality of food is great !!! The corned beef is excellent, I take half of everything to go and reheat the next day and still can't finished Just be aware, service is kinda slow. U have to sit yourself and people are good about who's turn to get the table. They are just slammed so if you are in a hurry like me, you have to plan the timing to order, get the to go box, also to get the check in advanced. I got the last part in 1 sentence so it's kinda fast. It's normal brunch place, no frill and quite relax.

    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
    Kerry H.

    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!

    Tropical Mimosas

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

Not only did the burnt crust eliminate any fish flavor, that's all we could taste for the rest of the day. Both of us started getting stomach pains on our long drive home and were ill for the rest of the night, unable to eat dinner. We don't know if it was caused by the burnt fish or the coleslaw we only took a few bites of. We are new to the area and drove 45 minutes just to try this restaurant. Unfortunately, the positive reviews and photos on Yelp were only of breakfast, not lunch. The breakfasts that were still being ordered at noon did look good. And staff was friendly and attentive. We considered sending the burnt food back but didn't want to wait another 40 minutes to have it replaced. And the "no whining" sign was not encouraging. So we risked a bad experience and paid a terrible price by eating slivers of a meal that should never have been allowed to leave the restaurant kitchen. Two stars is very generous on our part.

To drink, my kids were able to get juice boxes (apple and fruit punch).
