Lori's cafe is an oasis on Rte 3, super cute and welcoming. The menu has some homemade Maine classics like fried scallops, fried haddock and haddock chowder. I tried the Cajun tacos. 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. read more

I ordered the haddock reuben. It was a generously sized sandwich. Haddock was flour breaded and fried. There were no tables available inside so we sat outdoors. It was breezy out, but we found a nook that was tucked up against the building with a roof overhead so it was quite comfortable. Service was "wicked good". The waitress was very sweet and attentive. read more

Lori's Cafe - Haddock reuben with crinkle fries and Moxie - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Liberty, Maine

We live in the area and I think people like this place because it's the only place in the area. I went two times, each time there was someone else's hair cooked into my breakfast. I won't go again. Staff was rude to seat you then they are not clean? The end. read more

We always stop here on our way to Acadia. It's delicious, friendly and lots of locals.

Cozy little cafe with excellent food and service. Amazing homemade donuts! Today's special was squash with options: plain, sugar, cinnamon sugar or a cream cheese frosting. SO good! I had the 1/2 lobster Benedict and it was delicious! Best hollandaise I've ever had. Highly recommend! read more

Best pies ever. Order a whole pie to take home. All the staff friendly and ready to please. If you eat in, try the home made chips. The come thick hot and crispy. read more

Very nice people. Good food! We have eaten in and our breakfast was great! We've been doing take out and enjoying it at home.

A cute little local diner. Staff was friendly and attentive. I had the steak and cheese with peppers, onions and mushrooms and homemade potato chips. My wife had the grilled chicken sandwich also with homemade potato chips. Our food was served promptly and was delicious. My steak and cheese was very tender and the sub style roll was soft and fresh. My wife's grilled chicken was cooked and seasoned perfectly. We both enjoyed our meal. The bill was about $34 with tip. Their lobster rolls looks ridiculously good. When your finished eating go next door for some homemade ice cream. read more

It's a homey small restaurant that serves comfort food with great service. It's nothing fancy. The menu is simple. I order chicken tender basket which come with hand cut fried and coleslaw. We was hungry while driving to Acadia National park and this seems to be the only restaurant on this road. If you get hungry on the same route, this is a good option. read more

Haddock and scallops combo, mashed with gravy, coleslaw Probably the most perfect fried seafood in a long time. Portion, price, quality... all hit the bullseye. Very quick, excellent tartar and cocktail sauce choices as well. $24 inc tip happy to pay fir this. Lori does the baking here as well ... this place is a gem read more

My brother & I had lunch here. I had hotdogs & fries while he had a haddock burger. Both of our plates were really good & so was the coffee. This is a nice place friendly place to enjoy breakfast & lunch. read more

Awesome food and service. Only thing of note - the space is quite small. But they were able to seat us quickly despite being a party of 7.

From the looks outside, it looks like at night might not be much this little country diner in the middle of nowhere in a tiny little spot. Some of the best fish and chips in the New England states super friendly team with great home cooking. read more

We stopped for breakfast to go on our way out of town. My children got a cinnamon roll and a side of bacon. The cinnamon rolls were homemade and HUGE!! And the side of bacon was more than they ever get. My husband and I got a croissant egg sandwich on special- delicious!! We saw people getting pancakes the size of the plate itself. Definitely a must stop! read more

The Haddock Chowder was great. Friendly service. Comfortable and welcoming place. I'd certainly frequent if I lived closer.

Food is very average. Not much in the way of atmosphere or service. Seating is very limited. My to go order was missing contents. I'll not patronize again. read more

I've been going to Lori's since before it was Lori's. They're real good people and the food is good. You can't go wrong.

Old school Maine diner on Route three, the Belfast Road. The most casual and unpretentious place you will ever find! Great Maine diner menu, seafood, fried chicken, Salisbery steak, you name it! Very friendly and welcoming, A lot of locals hanging out. read more

Great home cooked meals! Nice people! It's quite small inside so plan on that, but there's seating outside when warm out. I highly recommend playing music in the background as with such a small restaurant, it's necessary and soothing to have. Thank you Lori's! read more

Having recently purchased a home locally that will become our retirement home, we have been trying the local places to find new favorites. Still undecided about Lori's Cafe becoming a regular stop. The service was great...very friendly and welcoming staff...and though the place is small, we had no problem being seated and served quickly. Lunch was good...my fish was delicious but the 'chips' were not cooked through. French fries should be crispy outside and soft and fluffy inside...these were neither. The most disappointing part was the pie. I LOVE pie and when I saw coconut cream pie on the menu I knew a piece had to come home with me! Not a good idea! What I saw when I opened the container at home was a thin piece of custardly looking pie with coconut sprinkled on top...where was the inch of fluffy yummy cream? Definitely not coconut cream pie and not fresh tasting at all! We may try again since the reviews about the great homemade breads got my taste buds interested...I LOVE bread, too! Time will tell. read more

Lori's Cafe - Sad, sad piece of pie. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Liberty, Maine

Walked in 15 minutes before closing, fast service and best fish and chips on this vacation in Maine. Great onion rings too.

We went to Lori's last night for dinner. I had fish chowder and sweet potato fries. It was a good dinner but the coconut cream pie was to die for. It is the best pie I have ever had. We go to Lori's every year we are up here and usually get ice cream after dinner but never again. Desserts at Lori's are fabulous! Food came quick and great service too. This is a small homey restaurant with home style cooking. Prime Rib on Thursday's and Fridays. read more

Super cute!! My friends and I stopped in and had a nice lunch outside. There menu is a little limited, and there's no indoor seating. Outside is fine but there's just not any shade. But the food was really good! They also have a ton of fry options and it's always fun to be able to get tator tots or waffle fries. The service was awesome and very friendly. Covid has definitely made things tougher for them but overall we left happy and with full bellies read more

Doesn't look like much but my haddock burger was delicious- crispy and light. The homemade potato chips are addictive- don't skip those. Nice people read more

Excellent breakfast, charming little diner. Friendly service, very reasonable prices, and delicious blueberry buckwheat pancakes.

Quick little stop here for breakfast. Nothing fancy here, basic diner food but very good. Waitress was friendly, the place felt like a grandmoms house from the 70s. I had a Greek omelet that was seriously stuffed with veggies and feta, boyfriend had the kielbasa, broccoli and cheddar omelet, both were very good. read more

Staff in 2 other local businesses recommended Lori's when we asked about someplace good to eat. Lori's did not disappoint, the food was good and the prices reasonable. The fish and chips were fresh and tasty, lightly battered fish and crinkle fries. Seasoned fries and sweet potato fries are also available. My partner had liver and onions, which was perfectly done. The mashed potatoes are homemade and when the first serving arrived stone cold, the waitress whisked them away and returned with piping hot in 2 seconds, so we knew they hadn't been nuked. The first serving must have been from the wrong pot. There are booths and counter service, as well as a few tables. Lots of locals eat here, judging by the banter with the staff. The coffee was good, they also serve Pepsi products and unsweetened iced tea. Our bill for 2 meals plus beverage came to under $20. We were trying to get to the Common Ground fair, but arrived too late to do more than sit in miles of traffic. We'll try again next year and definitely stop at Lori's. read more

***CLOSED TUESDAY***** This review is not for the food. We were not able to eat here. We planned our trip so we would go through Rockland and try out Lori's Cafe. It is clearly stated on the sign but no days/times other than a Yelper photo with Tuesday listed as OPEN. Sorry we didn't get to try but want to make sure that others don't make the same mistake. Five Stars - I didn't want to lower their great score. I am sure if we had be able to eat there, we would have enjoyed! read more

I truly love this place! Homey muffins! Their eggs are always cooked perfect. The eggs Benedict has several varieties including crab! I had the potato pancake with ham and poached eggs. Just so good! read more

Local to our camp. I've had a couple mess ups on my orders but the food is great in the end.

Funky little cafe with the best crab roll I've had yet. Homemade potato chips served hot out of the fryer. Staff was friendly and fun. My next trip to Maine, this will be worth going out of the way for. read more

A small diner that knows how to cook well. Their donuts are delicious! It is unassuming, but has local charm and friendliness.

Good service and tasty good. Nice homestyle menu with a good selection of specials. Burgers ate constantly good. Great omelettes. Can be crowded at times which shows how good the food is. It is a small place but what it lacks in size it makes up in flavor and value. Always great service. read more

WOW! Everything fantastic. Amazing raspberry and other pies....95+% fruit, not glarpy or too sweet. Perfect crust. The best breakfast I have had in years.. Perfect eggs, perfect pancakes, perfect French toast. they make all of their breads, even the side pieces. Lovely Greek omelette, wonderful fresh ingredients, not greasy. Fried chicken, really tasty, also nongreasy. Might consider moving to Maine just to be near here. read more

My wife had the fisherman's plater huge . The staff was very friendly and helpful. As far as the person from Springfield goes your type of person is the reason we moved to Maine from Massachusetts get a life and stop calling every one a racist this only proves your the racist read more

This is a warm and well run family diner. You have the owner Lori cooking true comfort food such as cranberry walnut pancakes which are the size of dinner plates graciously served by her daughter, Danielle with a warm smile. There is plenty of well prepared food at very reasonable prices in this quaint location where you know everyone is a local as they are coming in being greeted by first names and discussing the latest storm, church or baseball game. The Maine accent is heavy in the air while patrons are chatting about the latest fishing efforts. Coffee is hot and strong and the desserts are all made right there in the kitchen and in fact you can order a pie at breakfast and pick it up that afternoon for your cookout. Easy way to impress your guests. We have stopped here and eaten numerous times and have never been disappointed in the food or the people. read more

Lori's for breakfast is one of our favorite vacation highlights every year! The grilled muffins, homemade baked goods and service are all exemplary. And, on this visit, they went above and beyond and made our toddler son a special Mickey Mouse pancake that made his day. Thank you so much, Lori, DeeDee and Michael for making a great breakfast tradition for our family and friends! read more
