    Johnny Cash - chicken fried steak breakfast
    Diana G.

    This place is special! We visit often, and the food and service are always awesome. True friendly neighborhood diner vibe that makes everyone feel like family. The food is truly at a high level. The prices are a bit above standard, but well worth the cost.

    Angus burger with fries and coleslaw.

    What a fun place! Quaint old school diner with decent food and friendly staff. We enjoyed our food. If you're claustrophobic you'll want to use the outside seating. It is unbelievably tight in there. We pretty much had to get up close and personal with the folks at the counter just to get to and from our booth.

    Bowdoin bowl (hollandaise on the side)

    Got seated for a table of 3 right away on a Friday for lunch by the kind host. They have large windows that open and allow lots of fresh air in. We were feeling pretty full from a weekend of eating so we shared all of our dishes. I got their Bowdoin bowl with a side of gravy. The tots were crispy and so all the veggies on top were perfect for it. The biggest improvement could have been the "poached" egg that was really overcooked in a cupcake tin. Miss B's was a good amount of food and prepared well. The side of avocado was a store-bought more watery version than I am used to seeing. The Demi salad was very simple and plain. The cornbeef hash was seasoned well but could have benefited from more of a char. Overall, this is a good classic diner vibe that I imagine has not changed much over multiple decades. Staff were super friendly and as efficient as they could be given the tight quarters. Would come again.

    Our family was in the area on vacation. We love pancakes and these are the best we've had anywhere! With those tiny sweet Maine blueberries too. So good we went twice during our stay! It's an old school classic diner with a jukebox and diner classics with a twist. The owner is out front with customers and is a true delight. Great coffee too!We will definitely come back on our next visit!

    What a great find! Usually, I don't go out to eat in an area I'm not familiar with without consulting Yelp. But on this occasion, we both decided to stop for breakfast at the first appealing-looking place we encountered on the way to our destination. The Brunswick Diner caught our eye--it's hard to miss--and in we pulled (after pulling a 'u-ey' because we missed the entrance to the parking lot initially). We were happy we did. After the fact I learned that Brunswick Diner has a solid 3.8-star rating on Yelp, and I'm not surprised.  This place has 'a look' -- a combination of old-school diner meets 50's soda fountain meets a classic Maine lobster pound. Not sure if that's what they were going for, but that's what I took away.  They have outdoor seating in the summer, which looks very inviting, and indoor seating (booths and a counter). We opted for the counter because there was no wait.  They were super busy when we were there this Sunday morning, but I bet that's usually the case. Despite being slammed, the staff--starting with the hostess who's stationed outside as you enter the outdoor seating area from the parking lot--was super friendly and pleasant, as well as attentive to our needs. She had the Miss B's--two eggs you like with bacon and home fries. There's nothing special about this dish--it's typical American breakfast fare--but it arrived exactly as she wanted it (eggs over easy, bacon not too crispy, home fries, and toast).  I had the Sinatra -- homemade beef brisket hash, two eggs as you like, home fries, and toast (I opted for the grilled homemade biscuit upgrade). My hash was delicious but a little bland, honestly. There were no onions, garlic, or potatoes in the hash that I could taste--just the meat. And it was ground a little too finely for my taste. Typically, a homemade hash is on the course side. (I'm NOT suggesting it wasn't homemade. I'm only saying I prefer the coarser grind and some add-ins that I've come to expect in a homemade hash.) All in all, we were pleased with our choice and would stop here again if we were ever in the area and were looking for breakfast or lunch.

    classic eggs benny, and the bowdoin bowl!

    AMAZING SERVICE EACH AND EVERY TIME!! i will never not suggest the Brunswick Diner to anyone who asks, because it's just so darn good!

    Biscuits and gravy
    R A.

    Seriously, some of the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. A little bit spicy, and put over a griddled biscuit. Really good stuff.

The…read morehomemade corned beef hash is the star of the plate: big chunks of corned beef and potatoes, crispy on the outside, tender inside, and super flavorful without being greasy. You can taste that it's made from scratch, not scooped out of a can. The blueberry pancake is everything you want from a Maine diner--loaded with berries, golden on the edges, and fluffy in the middle. It's one of those pancakes you tell yourself you'll share, then somehow you don't. The fiddlehead omelet is such a fun local twist, with the fiddleheads adding a tender, slightly earthy bite that makes the whole thing feel special and seasonal. Service is friendly and efficient, even when they're slammed, and the whole place has that busy, waterfront, "locals and tourists together" vibe. Expect a wait, especially at prime breakfast hours, but the homemade corned beef hash, blueberry pancake, and fiddlehead omelet make it more than worth it.

When the food is this good, the charm comes naturally. We stopped in for breakfast on a Thursday morning, and despite the crowd, the wait was only about 15 minutes. A good sign. The moment the plates hit the table, it all made sense. The pancakes were the standout -- fluffy, flavorful, and with those perfectly crispy edges that pancake lovers dream about. Easily my favorite part of the meal. Everything felt hearty, comforting, and made with care. For a spot that keeps things simple, it delivers a solid, satisfying brunch at a very reasonable price. Sometimes the best meals come from places that don't try too hard -- they just get it right.
