Renarda's Kitchen is a local hangout for older folk in the morning, everyone was enjoying a hearty breakfast and conversation when I walked in just after 7am. I ordered a bacon, egg & cheese on a croissant and a sausage & cheese omelette w/ home fries and rye toast. Egg sandwich & omelette were tasty, but the homes fries were kinda blah, to be honest. Needed seasoning. Renarda seems to be a one person show (at least in the morning), she was working hard preparing everyone's meals. It's definitely a local "Greasy Spoon" and unpretentious. Nothing wrong with that, that's Americana.

Lots of seating and quiet areas if you ask to be sat in your own area. Hostess was very friendly and sat me in a great spot. Waitress was friendly and helped me navigate the menu. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and specials. The food was great. Cooked as requested and the omelette was filled with a good amount of filling without being over filled. The eggs were cooked perfectly. Some places over cook the eggs and these were not!! The tables have salt & pepper shakers. They also have jellies, butter, ketchup, syrup and creamers. I like this feature so you're not always waiting to catch the waitress if you need one of those items. This is a great hidden gem in a truck stop. You should give a try if you're in the area!! Hope your experience is as good as mine!!!

I give this review with the best intentions because for years now a trip to Dysart's has been a…read morefamily favorite. Not sure if they were having an off-day today or they've been sliding downhill but today's experience was far from ok. Starting with the good. It was quite busy when we arrived around 7:30 pm and despite this the waitstaff were very friendly and were helping each other out. The server who brought our drinks even brought shorter "kids-size" straws for the children. Very thoughtful. Our primary server (Kallie B.) was covering several tables in our section and had signaled that she was coming to take our order when she accidentally spilled a drink at the next table. She was apologetic to that that group and moved quickly to clean it up but knew that we had been waiting a long while to order, so asked another server to come and take our order. Again, thoughtful. The food was simply not good today. We were a group of 6 adults and 2 children. Most had fries with our meals. They were all very undercooked - as if they were rushed. The bacon on my wife's club sandwich was undercooked. Several of us left large portions of our meals barely touched because they just didn't taste good. I had ordered steak tips. I tried to eat the first two and were so chewy that I had to put them in my napkin. I left the rest on my plate. This leads to an important recommendation. While the staff's teamwork and friendliness was great, the servers would benefit from some training in attention to signs that customers are having issues with their meal. While our server did ask at one point how everything was, she did so hastily and said, "ok? Good." without waiting for an actual response. She didn't seem to notice that I hadn't eaten my $21 steak tips meal - or if she had noticed, didn't bother to ask about it. It felt insincere. Likewise, a lack of inquiry for the barely touched french fries and portions of several meals left on plates. In a word, today was disappointing. I hope they'll do better.

Admittedly, the tacos were not what I expected. They were fried fish with Cajun seasoning sprinkled on top in taco shells that looked more like small taco salad bowls with heaping levels of iceberg lettuce and tomatoes. I ate the fish and couldn't have been happier- light and delicious. Onion rings were very good. We grabbed a donut and cinnamon roll for the road. A bit dry - maybe it was day old - but 15 seconds in the microwave and it was yummy. This is a great stop because you can get gas and ice cream right next door. This is a keeper stop when we are in the area.

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. I forgot look at the size of this oatmeal raisin cookie we bought. Biggest cookie I've ever seen. BTW: Kris ordered a slice of strawberry rhubarb pie, she didn't like it. I passed on dessert.

The sunrise smoothie was equally bland. Looked nothing like the photo. My smoothie was a pale pink whereas the photo has a smoothie that looks orange like a sunrise. Overpriced garbage.

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!
