Hard to catch it, but the decor is modern plus Maine woods
Bill D.

I had errands to run in Portland and a quick search of Yelp-reviewed places brought me to Dutch's. It's a pretty cool place inside with a decor that mixes modern with Maine woods. There is a mix of tables, booths, and high-tops. The person running the counter was pretty friendly and the kitchen got my order up quickly. I had the turkey sandwich, which was very tasty. The bread was top notch. I had heard about their hashbrowns so I ordered them as a side. They were hot from the fryer, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside (you can also get them loaded with toppings). I'd definitely come back with my only reservation is that it's on the pricey side.

Tasty breakfast sandwiches, so delicious! They came out quick too. The spicy chicken sandwich was delicious, I added an egg on mine too!

Butternut squash soup

Wow. Dutch's is a GEM!! We came here for an early lunch with the kiddos and we're not disappointed. The prices were adorable and the portions were generous. Staff was nice and made some kid friendly options for us. We asked for some chicken from the bang bang chicken sandwich kept on the side so our toddler could eat as "nuggets". We also ordered mac n cheese (5 stars) and butternut squash soup. Every single item we ordered was phenomenal. The butternut squash soup was $8 and came with two giant crusty pieces of bread. The soup was SO good. In one bite, you got notes of nuttiness, spice from the chili flakes maybe, sweetness- simply umami. You have to order the soup. The bang bang chicken sandwich was delicious as well. I was a fan of the broccoli salad on the sandwich. Compliments to the chef- chef's kiss and 5 stars. My ONLY gripe was there were only 2 high chairs in the entire restaurant. Cmon guys...that's not enough. You know it, get more high chair. For the kids!!!

This place has an old-fashioned diner vibe. The food was decent and flavorful. The banana pudding was a bit too moist for my taste, but the hash browns were great - they had an interesting shape and were perfectly crispy. Service was good as well.

Finally got to try this spot out! Came in around 11 on a Sunday and it was super busy, but the line moved pretty fast. I got a breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel and it was really great. Also tried the hash browns and I think those are my favorite. I would get those again for sure! You order at the front and then they bring the food to your table. Big space with lots of seating. I will be back to try some of the delicious looking pastries!

Loaded hash browns with 2 fried eggs.
Adrienne R.

Came in for brunch on Saturday, 10/26/24 around 11am. The line was fairly long and it's my understanding that it usually moves quickly. Not the case this morning. The 2 women working the register were working hard, but my guess is they were understaffed. With all that said the woman that took our order at the counter was friendly and patient while I had to make a new choice because they were out of cheese grits. I was so bummed! I had a Bloody Mary and my friend had the Antioxidant Screwdriver. Both were served in a good sized plastic cup with a lot of ice - which I really appreciated. Who wants a tepid cocktail!? Both drinks were delightful. Much to my surprise and delight - I was given a little bowl of cheese grits!! The woman that delivered them to our table said there wasn't enough for an order and they wanted me to have them! So incredibly kind!! To eat my friend had the special that was an everything bagel with chive, cream cheese, heirloom tomato, a green relish of some sort and bacon. It was so good! She kept saying "there are so many flavors popping in my mouth!" Apparently I JUST missed out on the cheese grits so I went with the loaded hash browns with 2 eggs. Ermergerd. Those hash browns were golden puffs of goodness. I don't know how else To explain them. They have to be made in house. It's as if grated potatoes were cooked to perfection, made into 1" squares and fried. They were topped with cheese sauce, bacon and scallions. I ate every single one of them. I also ordered a brioche cinnamon roll that I ate a couple bites of and was too full to finish. But you better believe I had a to-go box and had it for a snack later The decor is so cute and a lovely representation of Maine. The signs look like the Maine Stare Park signs, the bathroom was wallpapered in pages from the gazetteer. It's so cute. If I lived here, this would be a regular spot. Highly recommend!

Loaded Hashbrowns
Melissa H.

YES. One of those few places that lives up to the hype/expectation. Exceeds it in so many ways. Dutch's is a Portland staple for breakfast and lunch - counter service, quick turn around, bus-your-own-table kinda joint. But they do everything SO well. Some of my favorites: the Breakfast Burrito - MASSIVE, fully loaded, delicious. Chicken Biscuit - heavenly. Perfectly crispy chicken thigh, well seasoned gravy, sweet and crumbly biscuit (add bacon and an egg, thank me later!) Loaded Hash browns - their hashbrowns are these crispy little cubes of deliciousness, and loading them up with cheese sauce and scallions just brings them to another level. Additionally, the pastries here are exceptional. I just had a rhubarb almond danish that knocked my socks off. But the variety changes every day and the reality is that no matter what you choose, you will be a happy camper. Speaking of camping, that's the theme here - the great Maine wilderness. Little gems of decoration make you almost feel like you are urban camping. Yeah parking kinda sucks but it's downtown Portland so that goes with the territory. Staff is super friendly and the food comes out quicker than you would think. Coffee is delicious - cold brew is the way to go for summer. I can't think of a single thing I don't like about Dutch's.

Spicy chicken biscuit
Surge C.

Seeing all the reviews, I was excited to try this place, but found it to be underwhelming. The biscuit was decent and the chicken was okay. Was expecting the chicken to be crisper and for it to have more spiced flavoring. I think it is a good spot for a quick bite and if you want something filling, but nothing to go out of your way for.

Anmol D.

The breakfast in Portland has been immaculate!! spicy chicken biscuit fr just melted in my mouth. The biscuit was crumbly in the best way possible. I WANT IT AGAIN

Veggie Delight Bagel Sandwich
Gary G.

More breakfasts, more pastries, more excellence. Somehow most of my photos from my first review got deleted, so I'm reposting here with an updated review. Everything I said last time I still think, only more, with one improvement and a couple of additions. Great place. Chocolate Croissant: Just tried theirs again after liking it last year but not thinking of it as elite. This time it was elite: warm, crisp, light, flaky, buttery, and melty of chocolate. This time on the same level as the place to the east that specializes in them. Danish: The Danish that wowed me and continues to do so is a regular thing but with a rotating filling: strawberry, grape, and melon have all impressed, but I'm hoping they do the pineapple again. But the star is the buttery, flaky dough with plenty of crunch and plenty of give. Funky Bun: Basically monkey bread, firmer and denser than the other pastries, with a light cinnamon glaze. Fun to pull apart. I prefer the muffins and danish, but your mileage may vary. Bagel: They only offer two kinds, plain and everything, choosing to keep it simple and execute. Solid, especially the everything bagel. Not the best in a town with good bagels, but right there with them. Their veggie deluxe bagel sandwich is a thing of beauty. Blueberry Muffin: Like a mini pie with compote and richly luxurious dough. Still among the best few I've ever had anywhere, if not the absolute best. The dough is another winner: fluffy, often warm, rich, moist, and just the right amount of heaviness. Avocado Toast: Thick, crusty bread that's crisp outside but still has delightful fluffiness within. A jolt in that avocado, plus the crunch and nuttiness of the seeds and spices. So good. I like this more than the bagel and I can't imagine a better avocado toast. Add the house made hot sauce to really bring out the flavor. Pancakes: Thick, yet still fluffy and light, with browned flavor too. Real maple syrup. Service: Friendly and quick. Only downside is the order-at-the-counter service model, which means you might have to wait in line again for a coffee refill. Bottom line, Dutch's is the most versatile breakfast joint I know. Some things they're the very best at, and the rest they're very close.

David H.

Had the pancakes, as well as the banana bread while we were in the restaurant, and it was good but nothing to write home about. With that being said, the cinnamon roll was absolutely a top 5 cinnamon roll that I've ever had. It was very fluffy and had a delicious cream cheese icing.

Chicken Biscuit with Hashbrowns
Priscilla M.

Came to Dutch's bright and early around 8am on a Saturday with a couple friends. A line to the door was formed by the time I ordered my food, a testament to the reputation of Dutch's! I love me a biscuit with gravy type of brekkie, so I got the Crispy Chicken Biscuit. The chicken was topped with a sausage gravy, and I got a side of hashbrowns. The way to order this biscuit was a bit confusing, so be very explicit about what you want (wish Dutch's would change the menu in person on how to interpret it). I got a (average) cup of coffee as well where you can self serve milk/sugar at a table. The biscuit was not what I expected -- square dough and not really fluffy. I also did not expect the hashbrowns to be huge cubes of potato that needed more seasoning. They have hot sauce, but it has pineapple in it, so be aware of that if you don't like fruity hot sauces. All in all, I would try something else if I came back.

Taals B.

Yummy and delicious. The hashbrowns are a must. The lady , I believe the owner, was super nice and explained about what's in the blueberry jam. I asked for their breakfast without meat so they substituted it with avocado for free! Yippy. The place was packed on a Sunday morning. Like the vibes.

Lots of inside seating.

Went back outside to wait. Since it was already getting pretty hot, we went inside to sit on the chairs they had available for waiting. Finally, the hostess came and seated us at the empty table I had passed 20 minutes earlier. Could only assume they didn't seat us there sooner because they're understaffed, which is the case at pretty much all restaurants in Portland. Once we were seated, everything went very smoothly. Service was great, server delightful, food well prepared and just right. My sister had granola with yogurt and fresh fruit, her husband had salmon benedict, and I had classic benedict. All were great, as were the home fries served with the benedicts. Well worth the price and the wait.

Marcy's was part of the latter - I had seen the name float around a while, and since the reviews looked great I thought it would be a good place to have breakfast. That being said, I made plans to check it out. Marcy's is a small corner diner, located just off Congress Street near the Portland Museum of Art. It wasn't crowded when I arrived, and immediately got a seat at the counter. The interior is super casual - more casual than an average diner, but is also very welcoming. I can see this place getting crowded/a wait during peak times as there are only a few tables in addition to the counter. The diner is only open for breakfast and lunch, 5 days per week. The menu has several breakfast staples as well as some more creative dishes they concocted. I didn't want to go off the beaten path, so I focused on their breakfast combos which had a mixture of eggs and carbs. I decided on their Number 6 which contained choice eggs (I got scrambled), has browns, choice of breakfast meat (I got sausage), and choice of flavored pancakes (I got blueberry). The breakfast was delicious - the portions are large and I could tell they use quality ingredients. There isn't much more I can say outside of the fact that this was a solid meal with delicious food - it was really everything you want out of a diner breakfast. Service was also great - everyone was friendly and chill; I could tell they get along well and that they put a lot of love into this place. Overall, Marcy's Diner is a yes - there is nothing flashy here, but I had a delicious meal in a friendly, casual environment. I wouldn't hesitate to return the next time I'm in Portland.

The corned beef hash here is excellent - that I do have to acknowledge. I was a bit underwhelmed by the fried green tomatoes though. The tomatoes were just okay, but the excessive hollandaise sauce really just made the whole dish waaay too heavy. It was also just messy. Service was slow & our waitress tended to disappear for long periods of time. Coffee & water refills both took a long time. Parking here is difficult but not impossible.

Plenty of seating outside which is perfect after the long wait. Staff was super nice and helpful, made sure everything was packed up nicely in to go boxes. I'd come back again, but now that I know what we want I might just order online. It's a very long wait to get inside

I'm not trying to beat a dead horse, but these are the best biscuits in the world…read more Crunchy, soft, airy, moist, buttery... It's literally everything you'd ever want in a biscuit and to make matters worse, they do a sweet and savory option that really puts me over the edge. This weekend: tomato jam and goat cheese. These biscuits have to be on it a top 25 list of best things I've ever put in my mouth. It's really an incredible experience, even if you wait in that heinously long line. But, you don't have to wait in line. Wake up by 745 and place your order online you can order any of the baked goods or breakfast sandwiches, along with drip and cold brew coffee. They will keep your biscuit sandwiches hot, store your pastries for you, and they don't pour your coffee until you arrive for pick up. So you can order at 7:45 in the morning and pick up at 1 PM if you really wanted. It's as good as they say, and you must make a point of visiting when you're in Portland!
