With seven million customers and counting – appearances on "The Today Show" and raves from the Phantom Gourmet – it takes quite a bit to get the Maine Diner all abuzz. However, in the summer of 2010, The Maine Diner hit another milestone as they were featured on the Food Network program "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives."
Host Guy Fieri spent an afternoon in the kitchen with the Maine Diner staff, and they whipped up some of the Diner's famous Lobster Pie, Seafood Chowder and the Codfish Cakes.

I ordered a simple sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a bagel to go and was quite disappointed with the quality and value for the money. With a dollar or so tip it was $7.50 for the record. My issue is that it came on a rather lame and freezer burned little bagel that would not live up to a grocery store Lender's bagel. Otherwise I tend to like the the place on occasion. I just hope they keep their eyes on the quality as they are full priced for a diner in the area.read more

Delicious food at great prices. We eat here several times every summer. Very, very busy, though. The wait is usually at least 20 minutes. If you’re going in the summer in the evening, apply bug dope as their parking lot is crazy with mosquitoes.read more

When we arrived, the place was packed. We were given a pager and we were told it would be a 20 minute wait but we could head over to the gift shop to pass the time. But luckily, it was just a few brief minutes before a table was ready for us. It is really tight in there and would be difficult to get someone in a wheelchair into the back but the Maine Diner does make it as wheel chair accessible as possible so perhaps it would be easier to be seated in the main dining room. Anyhow, we ordered our drinks and breakfast and despite being incredibly busy, our order was out quickly. My only complaints are that because they are so busy, they must make sides beforehand because I had ordered specifically one thing, but received something generic instead. However, they fixed it for us easily. They had also piled the entire breakfast on top of the pancakes. Over easy eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast on top of pancakes. I'm not sure who likes yolk in their pancakes but not me. Anyway, because the plate was so full, my sausage had fallen off the plate because there was no room. Again, they fixed it super fast but maybe just put food on 2 plates like every other restaurant in existence? Had also bought a coffee and asked for a refill but it never came. Again, they were busy so I get it. It just could have been a lot smoother but we do look forward to visiting again in the future when they aren't as busy.read more

My waitress was so nice, I wish I got her name so she could be recognized. The food though was outstanding. I had the hot lobster roll and it was delish. I followed it with a side of mac and cheese which also was very good. I'd recommend this place to anyoneread more

My favorite Diner so far. Amazing food and friendly staff. It was super busy but we waited for maybe 10 minutes. I got a half english breakfast and it was very tasty. The biscuits are large and the beans were amazing.read more

A meal at the Maine Diner is well-worth a trip from Vermont. The fried shrimp is succulent and sweet. The potato salad's texture is perfect. The warmed chocolate chip cookie dough pie a la mode topped a perfect meal. Allie couldn't have been more attentive. We make the Maine Diner part of our Maine trip treat.read more

So good! Fame has not ruined this local institution. Best coffee - they grind fresh beans just before brewing each pot. Blueberry pancakes are delicious. Meat lovers omelette is a monster but oh so good!read more

Very good but prices are kinda high for breakfast. I understand it's a famous place but there are so many other choices for breakfast that are better and less money. We still enjoy visiting once each time we visit.read more

Amazing place, visited several times now. The mac and cheese side for $4 brings me back to my childhood, and the Irish Benedict is always amazing. Blueberry pancakes are decent but very large so worth it.read more

We heard the Maine Diner was recommended by Guy Fieri, the Phantom Gourmet and other high profile Sportscasters. We got the soup sampler: choice of 3 including”world famous seafood chowder “ We had the She Crab, Seafood Chowder,Clam Chowder and Beef Noodle. I found the soups to be very over salted. The nice flavor of the soups was there if you could get through the salt! Next I had the “Dale Arnold”- a hot lobster rolled on a grilled roll with a side of drawn butter. They neglected to tell me the outside of the roll would be drowned in so much bitter before grilling that it was a greasy mess. Ironically the place where a touch of salt would have been good ( in the drawn butter) was not there. At least I could have enjoyed eating the lobster dipped in butter without the greasy roll. My hubs got the lobster pie. Though there was plenty of lobster in both my roll and his pie, he said he thought maybe he’d lost his taste for lobster. Said all he could taste was breadcrumbs, butter and whatever the “secret ingredients” are, and not the lobster. We drove out of our way to what we heard was a famous restaurant, very disappointing!read more

I give the Maine Diner five stars, and I give their gift shop five stars . Their staff is friendly and helpful. They have a nice menu and their food is delicious. When I was at the Maine Diner I enjoyed my experience there immensely. The Maine Diner is very popular, the Maine Diner is a really nice place.read more

I would have given it 5 stars except for the fact the place isn't big enough to handle the amount of people that go there with 20 to 40 minute wait for breakfast however if you don't mind the wait the food is great. Also if you go early am or brunch wait time is much shorter if at all. I would also mention that lunch and dinner I never had to wait. Staff is friendly waitresses are very competent of the many times I have eaten there never once did I have any issues with my order. Plenty of parking also has a very nice gift store right next door. Happy travelread more

Service was outstanding. Blueberry pancakes were great. Almond encrusted French toast was okay, but not up to its "fabulous" reputation. Lobster Pie was excellentread more

The food was good dinner food. The lobster pie was delicious and a good portion. Also had a warm lobster roll that was flavorful and good in size. Had the soup sampler which was good but not great. She crab soup was too thick and the seafood chowder was too thin. I should have mixed together for the perfect consistency. The service fast and friendly.read more
