Amazing place. Atmosphere is great, prices are definitely worth it, staff is great, and the open kitchen provides such a warm environment. Would eat here once a week if I could! read more

New location is bigger & better, just down Brighton from original. Same great food, reasonably priced. They still have butcher paper tablecloths (crayons are provided). read more

A great new brunch spot in Portland. Glad to see that while la familia was not able to make it, a new breakfast place has sprung up! The menu seems to have most of your breakfast standards it also has some devilish different items like a ghost pepper omelet and the stuffed French toasts (with chocolate and cream cheese filling). It is a nice touch that the offer gluten free options for those that have that condition. In our most recent trip I had the traditional eggs benedict with home fries. They eggs were cooked perfectly and the Hollandaise sauce was spot on. Home fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned. I also ordered a side of the stuffed French toast for 6 dollars it could have been the only thing I ate that morning and that would have sufficed. 3 huge pieces of French toast with cream cheese and chocolate frosting layered in between. It is smart thing that they do not publish a calorie count next to these items. The inside décor is simple and bright with yellow walls. It is slightly strange that they have white table clothes but then they place a large piece of brown paper over the white table cloth, like it is BBQ joint. The waitress was very attentive and friendly giving her recommendations. The parking lot can be tight, get there early. And I wish Sinful had some deck space. out back maybe? On the few warm nice days in Maine, breakfast outside is one great pleasure. The coffee is spot on but it would be nice to see milk instead of creamers. Overall a great spot, will definitely be going back. read more

The Sinful Kitchen - Traditional eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Maine

Sinful Kitchen opened today so I wouldn't take this review too seriously, but I really enjoyed it. Located after Nason's Corner on Brighton Ave where the (somewhat sketchy looking) La Familia restaurant used to reside, it's easy to miss. Especially because there's currently no sign. The restaurant building is basically a house but inside feels professional, if sparse. There's no real atmosphere yet, but this doesn't bother me for brunch. The hours are 8 am-2 pm Wednesday through Sunday. The early buzz on Sinful Kitchen has been their focus on gluten free and paleo diets, but I'm neither and barely noticed. The small surcharge next to each menu item for GF provides the only hint. It's a solid menu with the usual brunch favorites along with some creative fare. We started with strong coffee and water but there is a full bar for brunch drinks, which are very reasonably priced. Mimosas are $4. The El Diablo consisted of ghost sausage, a jalapeno and cheese omelette, homefries and toast (which I never received). This was a fantastic choice. I love spicy and I quickly shed a few tears from the sausage. My friends raved about the waffle and scrambled eggs as well. The neighboring table received stuffed french toast piled a foot high that demands a return trip. The main flaw for me were the prices. I loved my breakfast, but $15 surpasses most anywhere, including downtown. Nearly everything is in the $10-$15 range, which seems high for the location. The food on opening day was mostly amazing though, so it's worth it and I'll definitely be back. read more

While visiting Maine I met up with a few friends at this beautiful place they suggested. The service was outstanding from the moment we walked through the door. The atmosphere was laid back with a casual vibe. The food selection was great. I had stuffed French toast with mocha and bacon. The meal came out within 15mins and Everything tasted fantastic. I highly recommend this place anyone looking for a reasonable priced breakfast in a great warm atmosphere. North Carolina fan read more

This was the best brunch I had on my trip to Portland, ME. I can give you one bit of advice, make reservations although we got a table in about 20 minutes just walking in. The one item you have to get is a side of lamb bacon, I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I could have eaten a pound of it!!! We ordered the stuffed French toast, pizza waffle, and the Friends with Benedict with many options but we got the crab. I don't think there are many bad choices on this menu. I will return to Maine just for the Sinful Kitchen!!! read more

This was a good spot, although smaller and seemingly more low class their food and corresponding prices are more on the high end. They put out paper table cloths which i normally would think should be reserved for DEnny's or IHOP but then they post a lot of the drawings people do on the wall so that is a nice touch. There drinks are decent, probably a little over priced for how good they are. They have a steady flow of people in and out so call ahead when and if you can but for food they are pretty on point and i would recommend almost everything on the menu. read more

As someone with food intolerances, it can be hard to find places to eat where I'm guaranteed to actually be able to get something to eat. The sinful kitchens entire menu is basically all food allergy-friendly and is absolutely delicious. Service is fantastic and I love that they let you draw on the placemats inside the restaurant. Easily a go to restaurant if you're in the Portland area! read more

Love this place the Greek Omelet is my favor breakfast. Service was great and plenty of seating and parking.

Absolutely amazing brunch and breakfast place. My favorite in the city. The eggs Benedict is delicious

Love this place. Great food, they take reservations and always friendly. Highly recommended!

Not sure what the fuss is about this place! The tables were tiny, cramped next to each other. The food was sub par...to be honest, Becky's Diner, The Front Room and Bayou Kitchen serve much better food than Sinful Kitchen! A little background music might help drown out the noise from the customer sitting just an elbow space away. Definitely wouldn't recommend to anyone looking for a quality breakfast! read more

Located outside the tourist/downtown Portland area (15 min drive) but worth it! Brunch was delicious! They're corned beef hash is the best I've had in years! Gluten free bread was so good that you don't miss the flour at all. Belgian waffle were really perfectly crispy outside and soft inside. Reuben sandwich was delicious too. Outdoor seating so expect see bugs. Get reservations for brunch weekends. read more

The waffles with peanut butter and chocolate... wow. Highly recommend if you're looking to treat yourself to a delicious and indulgent brunch. The parking lot is always packed here, it's easy to see why this place is so popular. read more

The food was adequate, timing was horrible. We sat at 8:10am, ordered breakfast at 8:15am, got our food at 9:03am. When asked the server said a lot of orders went in just before ours. However, the folks next to us ordered at the same time and got theirs by 8:30am. Not any kind of a good experience. read more

Great brunch spot! A couple weeks ago my husband and I ventured over to the Sinful Kitchen to try out a new brunch spot and to use our Portland Dine Around card ($5 off). I have to say that I was quite impressed. Beware, the parking is limited and it is on a fairly busy street with not much parking options outside of their lot. The restaurant itself is very cute. Pretty sure it was previously a residential home that was renovated into a restaurant! We came on a Saturday around 10A and we must have walked in the door at the perfect moment as we surprising didn't have to wait for a table. The menu offered a variety of delicious sounding brunch options which certainly made me struggle in deciding what to get. Once I thought I had decided what to order, I then realized that there was a board in the corner with all of the specials on it which then brought me back to square one. I ended up going with the Chorizo omelet which was a special for the day.... and it was really tasty. The omelet was FILLED very generously with a good amount of chorizo sausage. So delicious. They also had this great turbo iced coffee which was very tasty and really perked me right up. The service was exceptional and our server seemed very happy and eager to provide great assistance/service. Given that we had afternoon plans we did not drink any alcoholic beverages, however the Bloody Mary's looked fantastic!! We will certainly come back to give these a try! read more

I dream of brunch in all of it's forms: hollandaise sauce, eggs, sausage, bloody marys...I could go on. I had heard of the Sinful Kitchen and their brunch options for quite some time and I have been waiting to try it! My husband and I decided to give it a go one weekend, and I'm glad we did. First off, the Sinful Kitchen is one of those brunch places that is nestled on the outskirts of Portland. There is nothing flashy about the building or the sign, so it can easily be looked over, but it is definitely worth the try! The building of the Sinful Kitchen is very home-like, and parking is very limited, especially in the winter time. Make sure to plan in advance to come earlier, because if there is no parking in their parking lot, it's a challenge to find parking elsewhere! Walking into the Sinful Kitchen, I was instantly brought back to memories of when I was younger and I would go to brunch with my parents. The venue is very small and intimate, but it has such a diner-like charm that I can appreciate. When we entered the building, we were happily greeted by the hostess, and all the other staff was incredibly friendly. Looking at the Sinful Kitchen menu, there are options to suit everyone's brunch wants. Ranging from breakfast burgers, to benedicts, to omelettes, etc. I was drawn to the El Diablo omelette, which had ghost pepper cheese and jalapeños, and it was served with ghost pepper sausage, home fries, and toast. The omelette itself was basic, but the ghost pepper sausage was amazing, and the home fries were my absolute favorite. They were perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. Unfortunately, we did not try the bloodies because we were going to another event that day, however, they looked amazing and the price was VERY reasonable. $10 for a good-sized bloody mary with a side of ghost pepper sausage?! I will definitely be back, even if it's just to taste their bloodies. read more

This is a fun and funky place to come for brunch. It's ALWAYS packed when we go, so either go early or prepare to wait. The lamb bacon is odd sounding but great tasting. I have to echo others who say that it's a tad expensive to do every weekend, but as close as it is to home with great food, I'd say we'll be here at least once a month. Bonus: you can write your novel on the table while you wait for your food. read more

If you plan to visit this establishment, a reservation is required. I must have missed it somewhere because when we drove 40 mins to get here the hostess turned us away for our party of 2 when there were open tables. Had we known reservations were required we would've planned accordingly. read more

Gluten & dairy allergy and food had to be made a second time because it was cooked with butter it and was still wrong. Fried egg came out floating in oil as well as the corn tortillas. Had to use my napkin to soak up the tortillas that were suppose to be grilled but were definitely not. Couldn't eat anything and still got charged for everything and the waitress didn't apologize and had another bring the check. By the time we got home my fiancée had stomach problems. Bloody & mimosa were delicious though! read more

This Sinful Kitchen never fails. It's an option outside of town that always delivers a solid breakfast. They've recently updated their menu, and that is definitely not a let down. Quite the opposite to expand their options. The breakfast burger is a family favorite for us. The homies won't disappoint. You'll walk out of Sinful Kitchen stuffed to the max! The service is so awesome! Our waiter was willing to make any and all accommodations that we asked for. He was great! We are not gluten free, but the owner is--which means they have many gluten free options. The needs improvement: parking! It can get really bad in here. They are at the bottom of an apartment building and there are specific places that you can park and it can look really crowded from the parking lot but actually isn't that crowded on the inside. Running out of the specials! When you walk in and see the specials, you may get stoked. But, if it's late in the day, those might not be an option for you. They also often take call aheads, so you can have a table waiting for you when you get there. read more

Always a great choice for brunch, specials are always delicious, staff are great! When we're in town we love swinging by!

Small portions, with minimal filling on omelettes. Almost no cheese and the thing was as skinny as a pancake. Unimpressed. Flavor was there on the hash browns, and the lamb bacon was cool as well.. Won't be going back unless I'm desperate. Quality was pretty good-is read more

TIP: Make a reservation! However, if you are an early bird (like, can get here before 9 am) then there is a good chance you can get in with little to no wait and no reservation. We have been here twice now and both times I was very satisfied with my meal. The first time I got the belgian waffles with strawberries, whipped cream and a side of lamb bacon (SOOO good), and the second time I ordered the corned beef hash with poached eggs and a side of hollandaise (WORTH IT!!!). But the best thing I had there was my fiance's huevos rancheros with corn tortillas. They do a corn tortilla, then a layer of refried beans, then another tortilla, then the eggs, salsa, sour cream, guac, and whatever else they put on there. I highly recommend getting it with over easy eggs. These were easily the best Huevos I've had, and it wasn't super heavy which sometimes can happen with this dish. They also have a lot of gluten free options for those with allergies. Also make sure to check out the daily specials- there is always a stuffed french toast of the day and it's usually something decadent like fruity pebbles or reeses or s'mores! read more

Unable or unwilling to accommodate a handicapped man on a cane despite visible openings at the bar and two 2-top tables. I didn't get a chance to try the food because the inexperienced hostess pointed outside to a bench in the hot sun where she expected a handicapped person to wait for an hour in the hot sun. Sinful Kitchen? More like Hell's uncaring kitchen. I don't recommend this place or any place that treats people this way. Go any place where your patronage is appreciated. read more

This is a pretty solid brunch place. This was more of a 3.5 star place for me, but I rounded up because the service is good. I got the lobster benedict, which was GREAT. Definitely get this if you want one of the benedicts. It is much better than the other options. The home fries it came with were a little burnt, and didn't have much flavor. For brunch, there are quite a few drink options. Parking is a bit limited here in their lot. I don't recall too much street parking if you can't score a spot in their lot though. I love the drawings they have inside from local artists. They also give you crayons and brown paper on your table if you want to draw while you wait for your food! I would come back and try this place again the next time I go back to Portland. read more

We flew into town for a week on the Maine coast, and this was our first meal of the week. It was so good, we stopped in to make it our last meal when flying out! The huge menu changes a bit, so pay attention to the specials on the wallboard. Both times, our servers were helpful and attentive. Food came out hot and delicious. I had never had a hash before, except at camp as a kid, and that was not a pleasant experience. The steak hash I got on the first trip was so full of flavors and was such a huge serving, I couldn't finish it! I took it "for the road" and nibbled on it throughout the day. My travel partner is a bit picky when it comes to eggs, but she dove in both times we ate here. If you're flying in, just go ahead and plan to drive straight there. And, if you're lucky enough to live nearby, you probably already know about this spot. Enjoy it! read more

Oh... this place is absolutely sinful. I had the special--sweet & spicy sandwich--and now I am overcome by guilt & existential dread! It was absolutely unreal and overwhelmingly decadent. The coffee was possibly the best house coffee I've had at a restaurant, and the decor was lovely! read more

Very disappointing brunch. I was excited that they had vegetarian/vegan options, and I ordered the tofu scramble. Despite being $12.50, the same price as all the egg scrambles, unlike all the other scrambles, it didn't come with potatoes or toast. Just a plate of sad, poorly seasoned tofu and veggies with nothing to accompany it. When the waitress eventually came back to check on us, and I confirmed that no sides came with the tofu scramble, I ordered a separate side of toast, $3(!) and avocado, $2. Overall pretty expensive for a barely adequate breakfast that I could only eat after smothering it with hot sauce. Certainly not worth the 45-minute wait on a Sunday. read more

Excellent breakfast! Great GF options. If you can make a reservation ahead - be sure too!

We had the best breakfast here of our entire stay. Visiting from Tennessee. Staff was so accommodating and personable. We had the sinful mimosas (a mango pineapple juice) very sweet and refreshing. My best friend had the ham and Swiss omelette. She said it was very very good. I had the cinnamon roll waffles. It didn't even need the syrup, it was that good on its own. And those potatoes were perfect. Just wish they had been open other days during the week on our trip. But being in the service industry myself, I am understanding that it is a difficult time on everyone and days of rest are much needed. This place is a beautiful gem. read more

I could eat breakfast every day here and never be tired of it or disappointed. If they ever rented out bedroom space upstairs, I'd be so there. Sinful Kitchen has a winning blend of unique breakfast creations, friendly staff, background music, and all-around coziness. When I was first searching for a place for breakfast in the area, I focused instantly on their waffle pizza and never faltered from there. And that was indeed what I had for breakfast. Others in my group had one of the specialty omelets of the day, the maple sausage omelet. And then we noticed they had something listed as an ingredient to some dishes I have as yet never seen elsewhere, lamb bacon. Our waitress said they acquire it locally too. My home fries - or "homies" as they call them - were perhaps the best I've ever had, perfectly crisped and spiced. Coffee came out very quickly after we were seated, and refills came frequently. They need to find a way to add the word "decadent" to their name as well. read more
