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)
Marni M.

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.

Maine blueberry pancakes

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.

They were super accomidating and went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. We got to try their herbed butter candle along with some rustic bread and let me tell you, it was wild how tasty that butter was, not to mention the fun of the butter candle. We had a BBQ burger along with the pretzel and beer cheese, as well as a cocktail and a mulled wine. It was quite possibly the best beer cheese we have ever had, and the burger was fantastic as well. The cocktail was brilliantly balanced and absolutely gorgeous in presentation as well. Obviously the decor and vibe of the whole place is incredible. It does a great job of blending cozy and fantasy along with a modern cafe/bistro. Can't wait to go back, and overall hope to see their evening menu open soon.

Came here with our son visiting from Seattle - and who is a huge LOTR fan. He loved the decor and…read morethe food. His French toast was cooked perfectly (not too dry or lacking spices as sometimes happens). My wife liked the eggs Benedict and I was very happy with my scallion pancake wrap, which was a full meal plus enough for a light breakfast the next day. The coffee drinks, hot or cold, are a nice change up from what we usually order at any of the half-dozen amazing and friendly coffee shops / bakeries within a few hundred yards. My orange mocha was a mocha but with a light and delicious overlay of orange. My wife loved her cinnamon bun latte - we'll have to make these at home on a cold blustery evening.

Both were very pleasant and every time a meal was ready from the kitchen, you could hear them say thank you to the cooking crew. The menu options are pretty standard and the prices are reasonable. They have a special board, so make sure to check that out before placing your order. They also have lunch specials on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. The dining area is very accessible. And there are no stairs upon entry. I'm not sure about the accessibility of the bathrooms, though. Besides booths and tables, there is a counter with about eight stools.

Not only is the "standard" menu amazing and varied but there are also always a lot of specials to peruse. The hardest part is deciding what to order. Don't worry: I don't think there's a bad choice. Today I opted for the Monte cristo. Yum!! Perfect blend of sweet and savory. Coffee cup never runs dry - always appreciated. Cash is preferred (and there is an ATM on site) but cards are accepted.

Looking for a European-feeling cafe in Brunswick? Looking for a place you can spend hours at…read morecomfortably solo with a book and a coffee? Looking to have a nibble and a mocktail or cocktail with friends? The Abbey has it (and more). The vibe: relaxed, warm, mid-modern meets minimalism, gorgeous stained glass windows, lots of natural light pouring in, the most comfortable seats you've ever sat in at a high top, lots of wood and greenery, a playlist that makes you stop and lean in. It's a cozy place that makes you want to stay a while. The drinks: I tried an iced cardamom latte with oat milk and it was fantastic (if you've ever had the vanilla cardamom cold brew coffee from Trader Joe's, it was an elevated version of that). I've also had a couple cocktails - since they make their syrups in house when they run out, they run out and your drink might be unavailable... BUT the staff is exceptional at making alternate recommendations and even making totally off menu drinks entirely! The food: Several (clearly labeled) vegan options! We tried the muhammara (a housemade dip topped with spiced walnuts, chickpeas, and three half slices of toasted sourdough) and the hummus plate (housemade and topped with marinated chickpeas and a drizzle of olive oil, accompanied by six naan wedges). LOVE the quantity of both dips, but wish there was some other dipping vessel outside of (the sometimes stodgy) bread. A little heap of rainbow veggies would be amazing! While the muhammara was a bit more liquidy than I've had elsewhere, the hummus was thicker than I was expecting. Solid shareable options regardless! (Grab a seat, order at the counter, and they'll call your name when your drinks are ready so you can go grab them; if you've ordered food, they'll bring that to your table. It was confusing what the clean-up situation was, several of us just sort of walking back to the bar with our plates and cups.) Excited to return again!
