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.
Linda S.

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
Lisa K.

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.

We pulled off…read morein Brunswick for a quick break and ended up having one of the best coffee experiences of the entire trip. I walked in thinking I'd order something simple, but Jocelyn somehow anticipated exactly what I wanted before I even said it -- an oatmeal latte with honey infused right into the espresso. It was warm, silky, lightly sweet, and honestly one of the most thoughtful, dialed‑in drinks I've had anywhere. You can tell when someone really knows their craft, and she absolutely does. We also grabbed the curried chicken sandwich, which was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect balance of creamy and bright. It's the kind of sandwich that makes you pause mid‑bite and go, "Wait... this is really good." The whole place has that cozy‑local‑favorite energy -- friendly staff, great food, and the kind of coffee that makes you want to reroute your trip just to come back again. If you're driving through Freeport, Camden, or anywhere along the coast, Wild Oats is 100% worth the detour.

Reasonably priced at $25 for an appetizer, main course, and dessert. We both got the garlic Caesar salad, which was tasty, but would've been nothing special without those lovely garlic homemade croutons. For the main course, my friend got the Chicken Parmesan, which in the past she says has been overly spiced with additional red pepper flakes, but this time, at her request, came out with a much better balanced sauce. Based on other Yelp reviews, I decided to get the Marsala Porcini. It was good, but I felt it was also nothing special, and compared to the size of the Chicken Parmesan serving, was considerably smaller - look at the photos. For dessert, we both got the mini cannoli, which was OK as well. Certainly nothing like Boston East End cannolis, which is probably an unfair comparison. Because they are so small, the cannoli shell is much too crispy, and very difficult to eat with a spoon. In the end, I think the food was OK, and the price is reasonable. if I lived in the area, I may return, but I'm certainly not going out of my way.

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.

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.

We ordered two turkey sandwiches and a tuna salad on a bagel, so nothing cooked, besides the toasted bread. While waiting about 25-30mins for our food, it got really hot inside. I looked up at the built in fans/vents in the ceiling and noticed they were filthy. I was afraid if I had asked for air to be turned on, that dust would have shot onto people's food! There was also a situation where the man behind the register needed a choice made by an elderly customer that had already taken a seat. She shouted out the answer to his question and he responded rather loud and rudely for her to "Next time come to the counter! I don't like yelling across the room!" (Or something to that extent) Whatever it was, it seemed really aggressive and unprofessional, not to mention disrespectful. The sandwiches were good, had fresh ingredients, but I'm not sure this place was throwing the right vibes for me to revisit.
