    All four of us waited on by Yvonne a great waitperson!' The food was awesome. 2 of us had 3 egg omelets & two of us had pancakes. coffee, OJ & water. We will be back- large portions of everything arrived in short order. Oops I forgot to take pictures of our meals

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    2 eggs scrambled with bacon and hash browns

    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!

It's a spot that you order at the counter and you get a number and everything is delivered to your table. Menu wise they have a good variety that I think everyone will find something to their liking. Even showing up a little after opening we ordered right away and grabbed the perfect corner table. The vibes inside were perfect for a relaxing cozy breakfast. You could have a wait but I suspect it would be minimal. Both my wife and I got the Pumpkin Cold Foam Cold Brew and it tasted phenomenal. Just the right amount of sweetness and the cold brew was smooth with a hint of citrus. They had some other great sounding speciality coffee drinks too. Food wise I got their breakfast burrito called Dorado Supreme that had pork belly carnitas with eggs, cheese, avacado, hash brown and some more. Was such a tasty breakfast burrito and I look forward to coming back for it. My wife got their single slice of French toast that used challah bread and it was the perfect French toast she was craving. She got a side of maple bacon too and it was just sweet enough with just the right crisp. Food and drinks were delivered so quickly and we had zero complaints! One of our favorite spots we have had breakfast at recently. Check this spot out if you are local or visiting! Worth taking a trip to come here.

    Palace Diner is an adorable, no-frills, just DAMN good food kind of place. It's a tiny old-school…read moretrain car with counter seating for only about 16 people. No reservations, you put your name in and wait. We waited about an hour and a half, and I can confidently say it was worth it! The menu is small with only a handful of options, but they clearly know what they do and do it WELL. I had the cheeseburger with fries (no bun), and MAN, that burger was cooked to perfection. So juicy, and the fries were perfectly golden with just the right amount of crunch. My husband got the tuna salad and made it a melt, this was actually his birthday wish, so we HAD to make the trip! He said it was one of the best tuna salads he's ever had. You know the food is good when both of us are sitting there silently eating. Both of our counter servers were so friendly and the service was great. If you're in the Kennebunkport area and have the time, Palace Diner is a MUST. Absolutely worth the wait and DEFINITELY lives up to the hype!

Very limited menu and waitress told us the 2 specials. One was omelette of the day Broccoli and Swiss (not to special) and their blueberry pancakes. Menu prices are a bit high than what you usually pay anywhere else. I got the omelette and it was pretty small looked like a burrito Tasted good and fresh. My wife got the breakfast sandwich. It was good, but was a little overpowered by the sliced jalapeños (fresh)on it Both our breakfasts came with "palace potatoes " which are a different spin on homefries. My guess is a par boiled potatoes that the smash a little then deep fry and add salt. They were good, crunchy but creamy on the inside. The coffee was ok. First cup tasted a little burnt but the refill was better. Customer service was great. Waitress was attentive, checked in after 2 bites and heated my coffee several times while I ate. The price was $48 for two people we had thought about splitting an order of pancakes or corned-beef hash($11) but it was too pricey. It was a good experience, clean restaurant, friendly people and ok food but too expensive for breakfast. Had breakfast the day before at Twin City diner. Food was just as good ( except their home fries) and a better value.
