They have breakfast deals depending on the day. The food is kinda pricey but it was honestly pretty good. I felt like their portions were pretty big too! I think the only issue we had was with our waitress! She was pretty short with us and not very kind...I feel like we have had something similar to happen to us before! I had asked her if the home fries or hash browns were more popular, and she had a pretty short/rude response back! Although she seemed to warm up to our party by the time we left and it was time to leave a tip, she didn't come by much to see if we needed any refills! We tried to get her attention to get a coffee refill, and it was hard to get more! I think we ended up having someone go up to the counter to ask because it was so hard to get her attention! Overall, it was a pretty good experience! I normally don't get too worked up about the service not being the best, but she was pretty rude to us! I think I would come back but the service is really the only "bad" thing I have to say about the Olde Bay Diner if that's something that would bother someone! I would also caution against bringing a large party here! They would probably try to stick you at the bar which isn't the most comfortable!

We were there for the promise of a fantastic breakfast. The menu is manageable, lots of choices~all pitstop themed~ but not so many that it was a chore to choose. I decided on a 3 egg swiss and mushroom omelette. It was explained that toast was extra, which isn't the norm, at least in my experience. But I dove in and ordered Rye. My Son ordered 2eggs over easy, the potatoes (not the deep fried version), bacon, ham, sausage and 2 pancakes. This breakfast seemed to include a toast option, for those who are keeping score. The food was spectacular. Very well done, simply, and with no frills save for a killer playlist that included Bittersweet Symphony. You don't often find yourself sitting at a counter, eating breakfast with special toast and hear The Verve. Worth a mention. The service was crisp, thorough and we did get a lovely smile and thank you as we checked out. But at the end of it all, the food is, or should be the star. And it was.

We finally got to try the Lincoln Diner! Nice location and…read morebeautiful, historical train wagon restaurant that has moved towns and locations a few times throughout the years, and has now been in Lincoln since 2025. There weren't many people lined up, but we still ended up waiting about 30 min for a table. This seems to be caused by a lack of staff - we noticed tables weren't being cleaned up for a good 10-15 min after people left, and waitresses were rushing around. Honestly from what we observed - they could slash their waiting time by half by being more efficient and/or hiring busboys. But moving on. Food was definitely worth the wait! Boyfriend and I both had the "Cadillac" breakfast (because, well, our car) and we both loved it. He had pancakes with it and I had French toast - I *loved* the French toast. Delicious. Boyfriend also had a side of corned beef hash and I had a bite - it was my first time trying corned beef and I liked it a lot! He liked it too, and says he's usually picky with that dish, so... Overall we would return! Food was great and service was super friendly.

The waitress / hostess greeted us and sat us right away at a nice oversized booth for myself and my mother. She was quick to point out the specials on the board and the list of muffins that they had, it should be noted that their bread is homemade per the sign. My mother and I both ordered omelets that were on the board. They were a perfect size filled nicely and the potatoes, whether you want hash browns or home fries they were both cooked to perfection and delicious. Wr chose the sourdough bread, which again is homemade, and it was just perfect with a good amount of butter on the slices. That was melted!!! The one suggestion that I would make is with their j Jalapeno Popper Omelet that they try to make a change, or do one a different way, and use pickled jalapenos, but that's just this reviewer's preference.. I would definitely say that if you're in the area to stop by and grab a bite..

Everything we had was delicious and the service was a good balance of a hustling diner staff that takes time when needed to remain friendly and personable.

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!

I cannot get over how wonderful our experience was when making reservations for (2) for lunch…read moreoutside. Katie (assumed spelling) took our call & was so great to chat with. They had to move up our reservation by half an hr., but that was no issue & we didn't mind at all. I think a lot of the personal touches of being catered to made a difference, as well as the fact we were more than customers - felt more like friends. The lobster Rangoon's are a bit pricey ($6/ea.) BUT SO WORTH IT - I highly recommend this! The filling is INSANE. Crunchy outside with an awesome dipping sauce. They're large so I think next time I will order (2) with a side salad for a meal. Courtney was a very humorous, kind server that came by at appropriate times to check on us. Not sure of the hostess's name but she was lovely & brought us silverware when we requested. I believe that either a general manager or owner came over to check on us which was a nice touch. If you share the Pier Platter, note that there is a $5 'surcharge' to split where you allegedly get 'more sides' - I don't think that is necessarily true but boy, it's beyond delicious. There were (2) small dipping sauce cups of coleslaw on each plate, as well as waffle fries. One thing that knocked down a star is that the haddock seemed to be skimpy, possibly frozen. Flavor was great, but it was almost like a fish stick. In the past, we'd share a platter & received a large piece of fresh fried haddock. In summary, we love Shibley's & would never give up on going here. Reservations are highly suggested! :)

We stopped here around 2:00 in the afternoon with four of us, and our plan was pretty simple. We…read morehad other things to do shortly afterward, so we weren't looking to have lunch or spend a long afternoon at the restaurant. We just wanted to sit somewhere nice, have a couple of cocktails and enjoy the waterfront for a little while. When we arrived, we were greeted by two very friendly women, and we immediately explained that we weren't there to eat, but just wanted to have a couple of drinks. No problem at all. One of them walked us out to the back patio overlooking the water, and since we were the only people out there, it seemed like a perfect spot. The outdoor seating is really nice, and on a beautiful day I can completely understand why people want to sit outside. A few minutes later, our waitress came over and took our drink orders. Everything was fine until she realized we weren't ordering food. She then told us that we really shouldn't be sitting on the patio because those tables are generally reserved for customers who are eating and want to enjoy the view. That was a little awkward, particularly because we had specifically told the hostess when we arrived that we weren't eating, and she was the one who seated us outside. We're professionals and weren't about to make an argument over a patio table, so I simply explained that we had told the hostess that and that she had brought us out there anyway. The response was essentially, "I don't know if that's true," and she started to walk away. That part didn't sit particularly well with me. There was no reason for the situation to become uncomfortable when it was clearly just a misunderstanding between the front and back of the house. Rather than make a thing out of it, I said, "Look, I'll have an order of fries too." A few minutes later, the hostess came back out and handled the situation much better. She told us not to worry about it, that we could stay where we were and that we should just forget about the whole thing. She also asked if I still wanted the fries because she understood exactly why I'd ordered them. I appreciated that. I canceled the fries, we stayed on the patio, and the issue was effectively resolved. Once that little misunderstanding was behind us, we had a nice time. The atmosphere was relaxed, the outdoor seating is excellent, and being right on the water makes this a very pleasant place to have a drink. Our cocktails were also very good, and that's really what we came for in the first place. So I'm landing somewhere in the middle with this visit. The location and patio are great, the drinks were good, and the hostess ultimately did the right thing and resolved what was clearly a communication problem. The interaction with the waitress, however, left us feeling a little awkward and could have been handled much more gracefully from the beginning. That said, I'm not writing the place off. We enjoyed ourselves once everything was sorted out, and I'd be willing to give it another try. Hopefully next time we'll have a smoother experience from the moment we walk through the door.
