They were out of the corned beef, but the sausage gravy and steak scramble were massive at a great price. Found where the locals eat. Huge parking lot. No fuss diner food.

While our server, Anna must have had a bad day, the food was exceptional! And the ambiance of the restaurant was great. We'll be back.

Jodie's is a true gem! We happened upon it during a recent vacation, tired and hungry after a day…read moreexploring the area. It's a very casual, unassuming place but don't let that fool you. We sat by the window and enjoyed the wonderful river view, and then the food came. Just wow! The fried green tomatoes were piping hot, crunchy and so delicious. No crumbs left! My husband ordered the fried shrimp -- they were huge, fresh, hot and perfectly crispy. Yummy potato wedges too and cole slaw which we have many opinions about. Their version was really tasty! I had the southern fried chicken with white gravy and it was savory and satisfying. What really got me was the "vegetable of the day" -- most places have soggy corn or something but not Jodie's. It was fresh green beans, a very welcome addition to the plate. They were cooked perfectly and super fresh! We were too full to have dessert, but the bakery case was full of yummy looking treats. Jodie's is a bargain to boot. If we lived nearby it would be on our regular restaurant rotation. We will be back on our next trip for sure!

Okay service Haddock chowder was more like potato soup…read moreway too many potatoes very little haddock and thin flavor was decent. Seafood platter was pretty terrible haddock was either frozen or old calamari was hard to find inside the breading same with the shrimp way to thick of a breading. Maybe I just got the worst things on the menu not sure but we went out after to get more food elsewhere.

My parents had raved about their previous experience here and wanted to bring us. We did arrive a…read morelittle later than open on Saturday and it was quite a long line. So firstly I would recommend showing up early or to expect a wait especially on weekends. Also related to this their space is quite small it can be a little chaotic with finding a spot to sit. Despite the small space they have made sure it is very beautifully designed and amazing vibes overall. Makes sense why it is so popular honestly. We snagged some of their outdoor seats and enjoyed the nice weather with our breakfast. They have a good mix of sweet and savory and talking to some others in line they said you honestly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. They have a great amount of coffee drink options too and when you order a large they are not lying, it is huge. I finished mine during breakfast but my wife and mother got theirs in a to-go cup before we left and looked like a normal sized large still. Food wise I felt like I had to try their Blueberry French Toast and it did not disappoint, great take on the dish. Only real complaint I could say is I would prefer a little thinner slice of bread so it can soak a little better but no real complaints. My wife got the Librarian Omelette (minus mushrooms) and it was large and jam full, they did not skimp on ingredients. Her only real complaint was some bacon was thicker than she prefers but again minimal. If you are looking for a spot to grab some delicious breakfast and/or coffee in central Maine this should be near the top of your list. From the overall vibes to quality of drinks and food you will likely have a difficult finding a better spot.

We tried Pistachio Chai latte, Chicken wrap and Toast. Chicken wrap was decent and the toast was…read morebaked in house. The toast came with complimentary jam and tasted delicious. The Pistachio was too sweet for our taste.The vibes and the energy of the cafe is amazing. It offers scenic view to dine outside.

We arrived early and found a spot in the very small lot they have next to the building. There were plenty of street spots open within walking distance as well. The whole area fills up starting in late morning, so I would plan your trip and know all of your parking options in advance so that you aren't driving 5 miles an hour down the road looking for parking. LOL There is usually a wait, so just be prepared for it. I was able to put our name on the list and we walked around the area. Our server was great - wow was she energetic. Zipping around, smiling and engaging with all of the customers. Our food was delicious!! The sticky bun...we managed to snag one of the last few left. Again, get there early if you don't want to miss out. The corned beef hash - amazing Biscuits - YUM Gravy - savory goodness. Home fries - flavorful and not too greasy. Eggs - perfect! I highly recommend this place and I hope to be able to return again soon, during the non-tourist season.

Sunday around noon, needed to wait for about 10-15 minutes for a seat on the patio since we didn't have a reservation. The staff were incredibly sweet and the food was out of this world. I don't know what they did to that burger, but it was amazing!

What a hidden gem in a town i've never visited before. I decided to make it to brunch for mother's…read moreday weekend and i really can't recommend this spot enough for a delicious and down to earth meal with people you love. I think the space is very cozy, with an open kitchen and wood tables and bar. The cute little market in back is wonderful to check out before or after your meal. The staff is absolutely wonderful. So kind and making recommendations along with answering any questions you have. I think for the price of food you are really getting a great deal. Everything is made fresh in house from scratch which you can watch when you sit at the bar which i did. Watching orange juice wbu freshly squeezed and the donuts being put together from absolute scratch. The burger is definitely a great choice, I couldn't get over the house cut fries and the alna sauce was wonderful to dip them in. The burger was juicy and delicious and paired perfectly with the Volcanique red they had on the menu. My mother ordered the grits and eggs, this dish was cooked perfectly and had a house made salsa verde. The side of sourdough is a must get for shareable side. The house made jam was spectacular - they make every sauce and dip and spread in house and you can really tell. It elevates the meal so much. The drinks were a bit overpriced in my opinion but as someone who lives in Portland i wasn't surprised they were priced that way. The standout from the meal was definitely the sour dough donut. This was fried fresh to order and we had the seasonal flavor that was lime glazed and it was absolutely breathtaking! The crispy exterior with the fluffy inside was perfection - you have to order this. I definitely will need to come and check out dinner here. Highly recommend making the trek out!
