    Super duper breakfast spot! There were 20-25 people waiting in line when we arrived. We were told it would be a 15min wait, but we were seated in only five minutes. If this place is THAT busy on a Wednesday morning, the rumors may be true. The waitress had coffee on our table as soon as we were seated & took our order. Even being as busty as they were, our meals were on the table in 6-7mins. My Greek omelet was as big as a burrito! It was excellent, as were the home fries & toast. My brother's eggs Benedict were perfection. They also have these round cinnamon bites freshly made for you, epic! The place is very "dinery" with a tiny bar at one end & a kitschy plate collection on the wall as you are greeted. I WILL be back!

    It was really nice inside the restaurant, but service and food left a lot to be desired. We had to flag our server down multiple times to order, get more napkins, and then finally to get the check. The pancakes were good, but the sandwich had a thick layer of plain boiled spinach that added an odd texture and no seasoning.

    First time here. Right off the highway. Cute ambience. Bar inside. We had a great breakfast. The regular home fries had perfect consistency but lacked flavor. I had to add salt and some ketchup. Easy fix by adding salt, pepper, and garlic powder in the kitchen when cooking. My secret is using sazon seasoning mix. Overall, great place to visit. Serves lunch and breakfast. Has a parking lot. Great service with a friendly smile.

    I had high expectations when bringing the family for breakfast this morning. A lot of people have told me Valerie's is great and I needed to try it. This morning was very busy, as expected. I brought my mother, wife and 2 kids and have to say I was quite impressed. To start, they were quick to seat us even with a full house and we didn't have to wait long for drinks and appetizers. (The cider donut balls were a huge hit with my 3yo) I loved the atmosphere! Homie, and tastefully decorated making it feel like a nice breakfast spot, yet had plenty of seating. I ordered the special, (apple waffles of some sort) and they were great. My wife got the regular waffles, and noted they were slightly dry however she doesn't use syrup so I take that criticism with a grain of salt . The children seemed to be happy with their pancakes and eggs, and also loved the home fries I ordered for the table. We will be stopping by again.

    We have always been a fan of what was All-Day Breakfast and is now Valerie's Scratch Kitchen. Their updated location is a serious upgrade! The atmosphere is relaxed yet fresh with polished white subway tiles, mixed wood, and warm, friendly colors. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and other staff. Our waitress was great- just the right balance of personality and service. The real star, my friends, is the FOOD. We are fans of breakfast sandwiches and the breakfast panini did NOT disappoint! The sourdough bread serves as the perfect complement to fresh eggs, cheese, and your choice of meat (crispy bacon for hubby, ham for me). The blueberry pancake was absolutely the perfect mix of sweet and savory- and literally took up a whole plate! The portions are substantial. We could have split a panini, but kind of glad we didn't because it was SO good! Can't wait to go back again for more!

    Homemade corned beef hash

    Valerie's kitchen is right off the highway and it was a perfect stop for breakfast! There were three little tables outdoors, perfect as we had our little puppy. The service was rather slow, however it was very crowded. We ordered several dishes to share, including the homemade corned beef hash. I am a sucker for homemade corned beef hash! And my egg white Greek omelette with spinach, tomato, onion and feta was amazing! Huge portion of spinach, which I love! This restaurant definitely hit the spot!

    Awesome paintings !!

    Valarie's is a win almost every single time. The only complaint that most people have, is that the place is a bit of an ice box. It's the same crew from All Day Breakfast down in Biddeford. They moved to the spot they are now near the Walmart a few years ago. Their menu is one of the best in Biddeford, and we keep going back, all the time, all the time!! And we will keep going back. There's almost always a wait any given day of the week, and that's for good reason. The inside is newly renovated and has barn chic decor and some unique paintings with various farm animals sitting around a kitchen table with the sign "eat" in between. It's quaint and sweet and the servers and staff are always delightful, efficient and flow well together. It's a restaurant trifecta for sure!! Great food! Great Service! Great Setting !!!

    Irish eggs Benedict with Homemade Hash

    The eggs be eggs Benedict was good, and the homemade corn beef was nice. The home fries on the side were very mushy and didn't have much flavor I would have been ok without them. The coffee was fresh. Seems like a popular place every table was full when I arrived.

    Very cool spot. What stands out the most is the ambiance (cozy but also very clean!) and the service. The folks were so warm and welcoming! The food was also delish. I loved the veggie Benedict. Their English muffins are homemade and SOOOO much better than anything you can get at a store. Stop in!

    If you're looking for one of the best breakfast and lunch spots in Biddeford, Maine, you absolutely…read moreneed to check out Palace Diner! This iconic little diner is set up inside a vintage trailer/box car style building right in the heart of downtown Biddeford. Seating is limited to about a dozen people at a time, so be prepared to wait -- but trust me, it's worth it. After my fiancée watched an episode of Somebody Feed Phil featuring the diner, we were on a mission to try their famous chicken sandwich. The sandwich absolutely lived up to the hype! It's huge, packed with flavor, and served with a fresh lettuce wedge salad on the side. The chicken had the perfect crispy exterior while staying juicy and delicious inside. We could only eat half and happily brought the rest home. Luckily, it was a beautiful Maine day and we didn't have to wait long for a seat. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and added to the fantastic overall vibe of the diner. One thing to know before you go -- the diner is cash only, but there's an ATM conveniently located right outside. If you love hidden gems, amazing comfort food, and unique local dining experiences, Palace Diner is definitely a must-visit spot in southern Maine. Highly recommended and absolutely worth the trip back!

    I have eaten breakfast here before-it was mediocre. Service was ok, we were pretty much ignored in…read morethe beginning although there were only 3 other people there. I cannot even remember what I got but I remember thinking it was a waste of $. As for the ambiance-it's a fiber with a counter & stools (no tables), it was uncomfortable & freezing inside. Decided to give them a try for lunch, I have read so much about how amazing their fried chicken sandwich is, so I entered that online and see the sandwich is $22...to get fries with that it is another $8.50...ok, I think it's my birthday & my husband and I can split it all so that's only about $15 a piece. Go to put order in and there is an AUTOMATIC 22% gratuity added that cannot be changed or removed. Let me get this straight-ya'll are charging $30.50 for a chicken sandwich and fries (nothing special-no antibiotic free range chicken, probably saline packed chicken from China ‍) AND you think it's ok to tack on 22% tip for LUNCH TAKE OUT???? Sooooo that's $40.56 for a chicken sandwich and fries, tax + tip. ‍ Yeah, no. I would not eat here if they were the last restaurant on earth. I love supporting local, but how greedy can you be?

We started the evening with cocktails which were very much to our liking, followed by a delicious appetizer of lobster risotto that we shared. We both ordered the short ribs which were mouthwatering and cooked to perfection that the meat fell off the bone. The servings were enough where we took the bones and whatever meat was left to make a delicious beef soup. Neither one of us were up for dessert but decided to get two to go, which we downed once we got home. And they were both delicious. In closing, I'd be remiss without saying a good word about our server Keila. She was warm, friendly, funny, and very attentive to our table. She made our night to enjoyable! Thanks you Keila ! We look forward to our next visit to The Village Inn soon.
