Sausage Scramble w/ gluten free toast
Renee C.

HIDDEN GEM ALERT!!!!! This was the best breakfast I have ever had, the eggs were incredibly fluffy and cooked to perfection! The wait staff were friendly and helpful and made delicious mixed drinks - I got a Bailey's coffee that was to die for. My mother, who for the Irish Omelette with homemade corn beef hash, said that the hash was the best she's ever had! It gets busy on Sunday mornings, so get there early, but it is WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!!

Steak with eggs

Great food , great people, nice and Cozy little diner in the middle of (or is it just outside of?) downtown kennebunk. They're open year round except for a few weekends like thanksgiving, Xmas and sometime in march. Don't miss it.

French Toast

The options that stood out to us were the French toast and hash browns. The home fries were a bit under, so maybe request extra crispy? As soon as we sat down, coffee was offered (just keep in mind, if you get another drink you still have to pay for the coffee as it is not included). The wait time we were given was extremely off; Instead of a 30 minute wait, it was a little more than an hour, which was disappointing. I feel like this breakfast spot may be a little over hyped, more touristy than a local spot. It may have been an off day, but there wasn't much to remember.

Lobster Benedict

Decadent dining from a delightful diner, Squaretoe's earned it's five star rating due to the welcoming and accommodating staff, the timely service, and the above average breakfast fare. We inadvertently arrived an hour before closing time and the place was full. Just to make sure I wasn't gonna be "that guy" I checked with the lady at the door to make sure we had time to eat and she says "Oh yeah! Of course, as long as you don't mind waiting 5 minutes or so??" I assured her we didn't and asked if we'd have time to eat without them closing late; "Hey, sweetly, we ain't gonna cut ya off!" Perfect. So after a short wait time we sat down at a table for two and had ice cold drinks and a mug of coffee within seconds. The menu was straightforward and not too crowded so it didn't take long to decide what to order. Without hesitation I opted for the Lobster Benedict; "When in Main...", right? After waiting for what felt like an eternity (I was starving and my wife assured me it had only been 7 or 8 minutes, AND the place WAS full) our food arrived. My wife claims that when my eyes landed on my plate my face lit up like a kid on Christmas. I believe it because damn, it looked immaculate. Tasted better than it looked! The perfectly poached egg atop fresh steamed chunks, and I mean CHUNKS, of lobster, smothered in hollandaise sauce all piled on a toasted English muffin set my tastebuds into overdrive. Maybe not, but this breakfast dish looked as New England to me as biscuits and gravy with a side order of ammo is to the southern U.S. And the home fries? Crispy on the outside and smooth as butter on the inside. A side dish that almost tasted as good as the main course and that's hard to do. The place was clean with overly satisfactory service and a fairly low rumble of murmur from the other patrons. Overall an exceptional dining experience that I highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Great food Extremely nice service Loved the food Would definitely come back again Went there with a good friend to celebrate my birthday

Chicken salad sandwich- good chunks of white meat with lite mayo and celery.

We stopped in after having no luck at the local bakery. Glad we did! We were all pleasantly surprised how good this place was. No frills, no fuss- just low key, good food. The blueberry pancakes were huge and flavorful. Service was slow, but they were busy. We didn't mind since we weren't in a rush. The hostess was friendly and quick to greet us. The inside is small and a bit noisy, but I like to think of it as cozy!

A fantastic breakfast stop just beyond (or before, depending on your direction of travel) downtown Kennebunk. The corned beef hash is the star attraction here, and the Irish Omelette is filled with it. Not a place to dawdle after breakfast because they want to turn the tables over to serve the big crowds.

We enjoyed breakfast on the patio on a picture-perfect July morning, along with our dog who was…read moregreeted warmly by the hostess and promptly served a nice bowl of water when we were seated. The staff was genuinely friendly, service was outstanding, and the food was fantastic! Hubby got the house hash omelet and enjoyed its spiciness, along with generous sides. I chose a pancake that was the size of a dinner plate and done just right--a bit crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. The only bummer is a few bites tasted of onions and vegetables...ugh! Next time we're in Wells we will *definitely* go back to Merriland Farm, but I'll get tea bread (a baked good) instead of pancakes in order to avoid the whole griddle flavor transfer situation, which is NOT a knock on this restaurant; it's meant to be a helpful note for others with ARFID and/or on the spectrum with food/sensory issues.

For our food, the meat pie was so flavorful and fresh. My mom loved her eggs Benedict, and we split a blueberry pancake which was delicious. The homemade whipped cream and real maple syrup really topped it off great. I NEED to try the blueberry French toast or crepes so we will be back!! My only complaint was how busy it was. We made a reservation and we weren't seated until around 20 minutes after that time slot. Not a big deal, but there's really no good place to stand and we constantly we were in the way of other guests/servers. Anyone trying to walk in quickly left after hearing it was a 1.5 hour wait for a table so reservations are a MUST. We came on a weekend in October. Additionally, the room we were seated in was only heated by one small heater so it was pretty chilly. But totally worth it for the food! Staff was also very attentive and friendly despite how busy it was.

I am very curious at the type of training they get but they are FANTASTIC. Our waiter Tristan was great, very patient, went over to explain every dish and how it was prepared. Coffee and tea was served within 2 minutes, followed by complimentary dishes from the kitchen. We ordered three dishes: skillet breakfast, fluffy pancakes and lobster with polenta (sorry, forgot the exact name). OMG. Those pancakes were definitely fluffy and the chef didn't skimp on chocolate chips. The skillet breakfast was savory, nutritious, side salad was a nice touch. My husband loved his polenta with lobsters, he was in the carboloading mood that day. I believe the rooms at the inn are great too; I heard other visitors commenting how much they were enjoying their stay. We would love to come back as guests next time.

We had a great stay at this inn. It was far enough out of town to ensure that we had a peaceful…read morestay. Arti, the innkeeper, was AMAZING. She was full of recommendations (i.e. Goose Rocks Beach) and was friendly and kind without being overbearing. We showed up a bit late and the key was left in a coded lock box for us. The room was compact, but fine for my husband and I for our 2 night stay. We knew beforehand that breakfast would be boxed for us and that was fine. I was happy that they provided yogurt was Chobani and actually had some protein in it (unlike most continental breakfasts that are a carb party). We rented bikes and kayaks during our stay. It was great that they had these for us to utilize. The bikes should be covered during storage, however. They were a bit rusty. This was the priciest place that we stayed during our 7 night trip, but I wouldn't consider it the best. After our stay, I do feel that our stay should not have cost us so much.

We just dined there, and the dish I had was a six out of five stars. We have eaten there for years…read moreand always found it to be excellent. I had some trepidation about going after it was sold, and after I read some so-so reviews, and the menu is different. The spinach and garden salads need some jazzing up, but I had the Statler Chicken entree, and I have to say that it was outstanding and probably the best chicken entree I have had at a restaurant. I heartily recommend it, and we will return. We live twenty minutes away, and it is worth the trip. The spicy margarita was also excellent. The waitress, Julia, was attentive but not intrusive. She was great. So yeah, the Village Tavern is worth the trip.

For years, Village Tavern was my favorite restaurant in Southern Maine. That's what makes this…read morereview so difficult to write. If you loved Village Tavern under the previous owners, you should know that the beloved restaurant you remember no longer exists. The name is the same. The esthetic is the same. Some menu items even have the same names. But the experience is not. During our visit, the calamari, salmon, duck, and haddock were all cooked properly, yet each dish was surprisingly bland and forgettable. Many longtime favorites, including the wide selection of side dishes like the broccoli with blue cheese, are gone. This isn't a bad restaurant on its own merits. The problem is that it's trading on the reputation of something that no longer exists. What I find most puzzling is that the new owners kept the Village Tavern name while abandoning so much of what made it successful. When a restaurant has earned decades of loyalty, you would expect new ownership to preserve its strengths. Instead, it feels like they discarded the very things that built its reputation. I left disappointed, but mostly sad. A restaurant I once considered one of the best in Southern Maine is now simply pedestrian and overly priced. Former fans should adjust their expectations accordingly or avoid the disappointment altogether.

Village Tavern - The money shot... There's often a bit of a wait for tables, but you can grab a spot at the bar for more casual dining.
