    Breakfast

    Food is home cooked. No frills, just home cooking. Diner has a menu and specials of the day.

    We always search out diners when traveling as they usually have good food. This place is no exception. The decor is very cute, with old TV and movie memorabilia. You seat yourself and a friendly server brought us menus. Breakfast is huge here, but I wanted lunch and they had enough items for me to make a good choice. They offered a ham and cheese sandwich and our server fortunately told me it was cold. I dislike cold sandwiches. She willingly offered to have it grilled. Yay for her! The sandwich came with chips, coleslaw and a pickle. We didn't wait long at all. The sandwich was real ham, not deli meat and was super tender. Great sandwich and great service. Definitely worth our stop for a simple fare after eating lobster for days.

    We visited Martha's on a recent trip to Maine. There was a little bit of a wait on a Sunday morning but we were seated at the bar promptly which overlooks the kitchen. This place was dirty to me. Everything felt sticky and messy. It seemed like there was stuff everywhere. We felt a bit out of place as it seemed like everyone knew each other. While waiting to order we watched an employee (maybe owner/manager) handle cash at the register and then use bare hands to handle cookies without washing hands in between. :-/ We ordered coffee and OJ. My coffee mug was dirty and I had to ask for another mug. I ordered the house sandwich and my husband ordered the eggs Benedict. My sandwich had a piece of ham but it was missing something. (Like a sauce instead of mayo) My husband's eggs Benedict was lacking in flavor also. The potatoes were just ok. Overall it was an ok stop but we didn't really feel welcome and the food handling practices seemed lacking.

    If you're in the area you gotta stop by! Been family owned by Peter and Martha since 2004. Carol was my server and she was a delightful person to talk too. The vibes are amazing, I sat at the bar top that has about 5 seats and got to watch the cooks and the owner prep and cook everyone's food in their open kitchen concept. It's exactly what you want in a diner, great atmosphere, great service, and great prices for food. Can't say enough! Make sure to stop and get some food!

    Atmosphere - If you are looking for a modern, slick looking setting, you will be very disappointed. However, if you are interested in an authentic, small town diner, this is the place for you. The place is very small (a dozen four-tops)? The ambiance is from the 60s and the staff is very friendly. Service - Very good. Our service was very nice and attentive. Food - Very good.. I had a grilled ham and cheese on homemade white bread. It tasted as though it was homemade (and I mean this in the best way) and was very tasty. Overall Value - very good. This would be my go to place to eat if I lived in the area.

    Egg Benny.....Fabulous, great friendly waitstaff. Highly recommend! My only complaint, so many choices I have to come back. Ha ha

    Stopped here for breakfast wait staff was amazing friendly. The food was fabulous! There are so many great choices we need to come back.

    What a find! This terrific little diner has it all. A great casual ambience that favors Americana, Lucille Ball, Elvis Presley and more. We loved The Beach Boys tour poster on the wall! An open kitchen diner where you can see a perfectly seasoned grill. The owner and the servers greet you warmly as if you were family when you come in. The food was incredible. So darn good. Each bite makes you feel like you are in your grandmother's kitchen. The home fries were just perfectly grilled. The eggs were not overly cooked -- an all too common occurrence. Our party had the ham and eggs with cheese special, a blueberry muffin that was slightly seared on the grill, two blueberry pancakes and the freshest Crabmeat Benedict. In fact, the Benedict was so fresh it was flirting with us. The homemade toast was soaked in butter and still crisp. Our server Carol was incredibly friendly and helpful. Her smile was infectious. She showed us the specials and answered all of our questions without hesitation. The owner checked us out and was genuinely concerned that we enjoyed our breakfast. We would return here again in a heartbeat!

    The only thing that tastes good are their english muffins. The food is runny, nasty and will cause "tummy issues"

    One of those places that are too popular. The pancakes were good but not enough better to justify the wait.

    The service was quick and cheerful. It was good diner food and reasonably-priced. Keep in mind that's cash and check only.

    Great place for breakfast. Locals gather here all winter - it can be very busy on the weekends in the summer. Solid diner food!

The historic building has a tin roof and a wooden bar that eeks history. Our waitress was so welcoming and made us feel right at home. I enjoyed the roasted tomato burrata baguette sandwich and it was toasted and tasty. Several of my dining partners also had the same sandwich. Another had the Warm Roasted Root Vegetable Salad that she said was wonderful. We finished the meal with generous portions of carrot cake topped with delicious cream cheese frosting. There is a store inside the Black Moon (that happened to be closed on a Saturday night). In the corner they sell vinyl records and CDs and there is also a selection of guitars. There was also a musician playing live music near the front of the pub that really added to the atmosphere. It was a truly great find right on Main Street in Ellsworth.

We walked over from the main strip of downtown and loved the vibe as soon as we arrived. Walking down the stairs to get to the brewery versus the glass blowing shop was so cute. With apples on the ground from the apple trees, it couldn't be more "Maine". When walking in, you order at the bar for both food and drink and then there is a booth/trailer out back where the food comes out. The inside is set up for open mic night and then outside they have a full stage where they host live music. There is plenty of seating outside at the picnic tables as well. We ordered a couple beers, the Margherita pizza, the potato chips, and the Carrot Top salad. I cannot tell you howwwwwwwww amazing the salad was!! I have never had a salad like this and I ate every last bite. The roasted carrots were so good, combined with the crispy onions and the dressing; it was heaven. The chips were incredible and the dip that comes with it just elevates it that much more. I believe it was a pickle dip of some sort? I can't remember specifically, just that I needed a vat of it. Then the pizza?! We couldn't finish it but man did we want to! Add all this tasty food to a beautiful backdrop and we were the happiest little foodies in Maine. Hands down best stop in Ellsworth!
