Veggie omelet, home fries and toast
Rob W.

Stumbled on this gem recently while wandering through Maine and was not disappointed! Wasn't sure if I wanted breakfast of lunch at 11am on a Sunday morning. After reading the menu I chose the veggie omelet with home fries and toast. It was delicious! Everything was fresh, hot and tasty. We didn't have to wait even though it was quite busy. Great family atmosphere , solid menu and good food. Can't go wrong here.

Inside of Alice's.

Alice's is the epitome of a small New England diner: busy but with friendly staff, lots of coffee, and good food. The restaurant is located in a very small rural town, nevertheless every table was occupied when we arrived. We had a considerable wait to get a table but since it's one of few options, we completely understood. Once seated, we were waited on promptly. The menu offered breakfast staples that included homemade corned beef hash. It was a bit salty for my taste but still quite good! The eggs were cooked perfectly and the home fries were also tasty. We left with our tummies full & ready to take on the day!

Huge chunks of corned beef

I am so glad Yelpers recommended this adorable little diner since I am never in Skowhegan. The parking lot is small but we saw people park at the lot across the street so we did the same. Portions are plentiful, coffee is good, prices are cheap, our waitress Janine is a sweetheart but the corned beef hash is insane. Huge chunks of corned beef, eggs, perfectly cooked home fries and toast-I think the small was $8. What a bargain because it is worth way more than that. I will definitely be back!

Corned beef hash and eggs

Just passing through for my mom's birthday on our antique outing. We stopped here and we're so happy we did. The prices were inexpensive but the quality was high. The decor was tasteful and the bathroom clean. Our waitress was delightful and prompt. I got the cheesy scrambled eggs and my mom had the egg and corned beef hash. The portions were plentiful and the food was delicious. I can be pretty picky and I was not disappointed. Stop in for great food and amazing prices!

My Wife and I went here for dinner and a show for our 45th wedding anniversary. The entire building…read moreneeded work, it was sad to see, dirty windows with bugs in them and if you had a screen in your window it was filled with cobwebs and dead bugs, kinda killed any ambiance of looking out over the lake. You could see that there was a lot of water damage to ceilings and walls that was only partially finished. The entrace / portico to the restaurant, especially the ceiling, was loaded with bug nests and mold. It needed a good pressure washing and fresh paint. The drink menu was fabulous, soo many combinations. The appetizers selection was very nice, we ordered the fried goat cheese with fig jam, it was very tasy. My Wife ordered the pork tenderloin, that was marinated in soy and ginger with sauteed fiddleheads and rice. This was a complete disaster, the pork medalions were so over cooked, as if they were pre cooked and warmed up. If these were cooked to order whomever cooked them should be ashamed. My Wife and I could these often and are always tender, juicy with a hint of pink. These had nothing in common to what we cook at home, not tender and not juicy, the soy ginger was not a marinade but more of a reduction and spooned over the medalions, the salt was so concentrated my Wife ate 2 and could not eat any more. The rice, just plain steamed rice, the fiddleheads were cooked well but had zero flavor, a pitty as they are a blank canvas. I ordered the seafood scampi, I was really looking forward to this as I don't have pasta very often and have not had lobster in a couple of years. The pasta was home made pappardelle, it was more than al dente and was stuck together in clumps. The sauce had little flavor, the scallops were so so, the shrimp were over cooked as was the lobster, we ordered a fruit pie for dessert at intermission, it was mostly crust and, oh the whipped topping, guess what that was........ cool whip . We spent over $160.00. It was a a one and done for us unfortunately. We really wanted it to be better than it was. It could be a really nice venue but needs a lot of work and a seasoned chef who cares about what they do and can direct a young untrained staff.

Gorgeous location, atmosphere/ambiance. Great spot if you wanna get dressed up & feel like you're…read morestepping back in time. The duck wanton tacos were so bright, fresh & uniquely delicious! The roasted Brussel sprouts were yummy as well. The lamb chops were extra gamey tasting, but the risotto was to die for! Truffle tortellini were tasty but dry - the dish really needed at least a light cream sauce or even just a generous drizzle of EVOO... the apps & desserts took the spot light. We ordered desserts from the top secret Speakeasy Menu - grilled peaches w/a divine vanilla marscapone cream and then a decadently delicious turtle lava cake. Service was friendly.

Maine Grains - A welcoming and disappointing bakery

The cappuccino was underwhelming, but the server was upfront about not knowing the menu well, which I appreciated. I ended up chatting with the pizza maker, who gave great insight into their approach and philosophy. I regretted sitting outside--watching the pizza-making process inside would've been a better experience. That said, the white breakfast pizza was hands down the best I've had in a long time. Fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced, and not overly heavy on dairy, which was a big plus since I'm lactose sensitive. Before I can give a full review, I'll need a few more visits. I'm not sure why it's been review-bombed on Yelp, but it's clear the front-of-house service could use some improvement. The food, though, is promising.

Yesterday I received a large sack of Organic Pastry Flour and today I used it. I am utterly amazed…read moreat how nice it is to work with. It can be well worked without getting tough. It can be rolled very thin. I found I had to use less water then usual because there is a fair amount of moisture in the flour.
