Great local diner. Specials every day. The staff was great. The coffee was drinkable. My chowder was very good and available for breakfast! Fresh biscuit that came with it was great. But ... We get 3 stars for $$- $14 for a cup of chowder and a cup of coffee is ridiculous. I suspect the from-away Tesla's and sports cars parked in front can afford it! read more

We were visiting the area with a friend that has property in Pemaquid. She said we must visit Deb's, so we did. Wow. The food was exceptional, the service was spot on, friendly, homey diner atmosphere. Timing is everything. The place is small and we managed to snag a table immediately. When we left, the line was long waiting to eat. There were four of us and we were all pleased with our food. A scratch diner and you won't be disappointed. I bought a blueberry muffin to be consumed later and it was delicious. read more

My husband and I stopped a Deb's on our way to Pemaquid Lighthouse. We just Googled "breakfast" on the way and found Deb's. Upon parking and walking inside I was kinda like... really? It's so tiny, very homey, and I wasn't sure how this meal was going to turn out. But HOLY SH!T! After our food came, I ate my words and my breakfast. The food was fricking amazing. We were soooo satisfied after devouring our breakfast. The only criticism I have is that their water glasses hold roughly 6 ounce of liquid and look like they're made for a toddler. What's up with the tiny water glasses??? The waitress also didn't refill our coffee or tea, but honestly, the food was so spectacular I didn't even care. read more

I can't speak highly enough about this place! My friends and I were up in Maine for the weekend and came here for Sunday brunch. We had to wait for a bit to get a table, but they gave us a buzzer and we hung out at the picnic tables outside. All the food was absolutely spectacular. The menu had all the classics, had a hard time deciding what to order! I had the swimming hole hash, which was delicious. The kielbasa was nicely browned and added a heartiness to the dish. Go for one of their homemade bread options for sure! My friends all enjoyed their meals (high praise for the pancakes and French toast especially). Not only was the food amazing, but the people were great too - the staff and customers alike! Everyone was really friendly and in good spirits. If I'm ever in the area again, I will have to come back! read more

Found this little place when I took my family to New Harbor. My daughter & I have a thing where we like to find places to get breakfast. Nice little place with a bar and maybe 6 tables/booths tops. Service was friendly, and the French toast I got was excellent. My kid got a pancake which reminded me very much of funnel cake. The friendly laid-back atmosphere went appropriately well with the general tone of Maine. Had a very peaceful vacation and this place added to the whole experience. I will definitely come back here if I ever get back up to this section of Maine. read more

Vacationing and needed a spot for Father's Day breakfast. Deb's hit the spot. We arrived at the right time and were quickly seated. Appeared to be a good mix of vacationers and locals. My husband and I ordered off of the specials board, Philly Cheese Steak eggs Benedict and the Sausage Gravy and Biscuits Casserole. Both were excellent! The poached eggs in the Benedict were perfectly cooked and the casserole had just the right amount of sausage. Our daughter ordered 2 slices of French toast. First, they are THICK--at least an inch if not more. Secondly, it was a cinnamon swirl bread which made it even better. My son went simple with eggs and toast and ate the whole thing. Service was quick and with a smile. My coffee cup was never empty. The diner itself is small. You may need to call ahead if you have a group larger than 5. A little gem in Bristol, for sure! read more

Unbelievably great food and service and reasonably priced. We are from Harpswell and have passed this place several times but it was in the afternoon just after it closed. We made a point to come Sunday morning during business hours and were rewarded with homemade corned beef hash and a blueberry pancake with Maine blueberries throughout the batter And sprinkled on top. Our waitress Melanie made sure that we were all set and brought the food out HOT and remembered the extra butter on the pancake and hot sause requested. Blackboard specials today were - Lemon Blueberry French Toast - Florentine Benedict - Mexican Eggs Benedict Plenty of food and a gem in Bristol Well worth the 75 mile round trip!!! read more

EXCELLENT food! Yum! The 3 stars are for the service. The server was nice and good service EXCEPT.... two of us decided to split one meal. I told the server that the two of us are sharing one meal. The server said she'll bring us two plates. I ordered an omelet. The server asked what kind of toast I wanted. I asked her what kind of toasts do they have. She rattled off a list including a whole grain with sunflower seeds and I picked that one. The other two ladies in the group put in their orders and were asked which toast they wanted. We got our meals and everything was DELICIOUS! Then the bill came. My bill for one delicious omelet that came with homefries and toast, along with two coffees came to over $28. I thought that was kinda of high. The server informed me that there was a $3 CHARGE FOR SPLITTING THE MEAL and the TOAST WAS AN EXTRA $2 because we picked the wholegrain. Never, before, during, or after ordering or when we were presented with the bill, did the server mention the extra charges. Thinking about it now, the $3 charge for splitting must be per person! Along with the toast.. per person. We should have been informed of the extra charges! read more

Continuing our drive north we came across the famous Moody's Diner that's known for their pies & down home cooking. They cook their own turkey so a turkey club is a must. For me it was either a 1/2 # lobster roll or a Percy burger with Swiss, onion & mushrooms. The burger was the juiciest burger I've ever had & I had a hard time getting it around my mouth. I managed to eat 3/4 of it & took the rest back to our B&B for later. We also had a side of awesome onion rings. If you've never been go eat & enjoy Maine cooking & hospitality. A factoid: They serve over 55,000 pieces of pie a year. Off to Whitehall B&B to rest up, go sightseeing & have an extraordinary dinner the night before our 37th anniversary.

The free street parking right outside the restaurant was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. Just as surprising was the overpriced and just-okay food. I gotta say, both the inside and outside vibe of the place are a bit misaligned with the menu and food quality, and also the prices. We arrived at around noon and the menu unfortunately didn't look any breakfast items as they stopped those at 11am. Instead, our options were burgers, sandwiches, and dinner plates. The menu was quite extensive and creative -- it wasn't your typical diner menu (Asian noodles?!) -- but also, prices were steep for a place like this. A cheeseburger was $16+, with an extra $1 charge for tomato and onion. The sandwiches were more expensive and just included chips -- fries were an up-charge. Honestly, just the prices alone were a turn off. My burger -- I ordered the one with brie and jam on it -- was so underwhelming. Not even an exciting cheese like brie could save it. What a shame because it really did seem like such a cool spot!

The fresh ground coffee was very good and the weight staff was outstanding.
