    It was really nice inside the restaurant, but service and food left a lot to be desired. We had to flag our server down multiple times to order, get more napkins, and then finally to get the check. The pancakes were good, but the sandwich had a thick layer of plain boiled spinach that added an odd texture and no seasoning.

    I had high expectations when bringing the family for breakfast this morning. A lot of people have told me Valerie's is great and I needed to try it. This morning was very busy, as expected. I brought my mother, wife and 2 kids and have to say I was quite impressed. To start, they were quick to seat us even with a full house and we didn't have to wait long for drinks and appetizers. (The cider donut balls were a huge hit with my 3yo) I loved the atmosphere! Homie, and tastefully decorated making it feel like a nice breakfast spot, yet had plenty of seating. I ordered the special, (apple waffles of some sort) and they were great. My wife got the regular waffles, and noted they were slightly dry however she doesn't use syrup so I take that criticism with a grain of salt . The children seemed to be happy with their pancakes and eggs, and also loved the home fries I ordered for the table. We will be stopping by again.

    We have always been a fan of what was All-Day Breakfast and is now Valerie's Scratch Kitchen. Their updated location is a serious upgrade! The atmosphere is relaxed yet fresh with polished white subway tiles, mixed wood, and warm, friendly colors. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and other staff. Our waitress was great- just the right balance of personality and service. The real star, my friends, is the FOOD. We are fans of breakfast sandwiches and the breakfast panini did NOT disappoint! The sourdough bread serves as the perfect complement to fresh eggs, cheese, and your choice of meat (crispy bacon for hubby, ham for me). The blueberry pancake was absolutely the perfect mix of sweet and savory- and literally took up a whole plate! The portions are substantial. We could have split a panini, but kind of glad we didn't because it was SO good! Can't wait to go back again for more!

    Valerie's kitchen is right off the highway and it was a perfect stop for breakfast! There were three little tables outdoors, perfect as we had our little puppy. The service was rather slow, however it was very crowded. We ordered several dishes to share, including the homemade corned beef hash. I am a sucker for homemade corned beef hash! And my egg white Greek omelette with spinach, tomato, onion and feta was amazing! Huge portion of spinach, which I love! This restaurant definitely hit the spot!

    Awesome paintings !!

    Valarie's is a win almost every single time. The only complaint that most people have, is that the place is a bit of an ice box. It's the same crew from All Day Breakfast down in Biddeford. They moved to the spot they are now near the Walmart a few years ago. Their menu is one of the best in Biddeford, and we keep going back, all the time, all the time!! And we will keep going back. There's almost always a wait any given day of the week, and that's for good reason. The inside is newly renovated and has barn chic decor and some unique paintings with various farm animals sitting around a kitchen table with the sign "eat" in between. It's quaint and sweet and the servers and staff are always delightful, efficient and flow well together. It's a restaurant trifecta for sure!! Great food! Great Service! Great Setting !!!

    First time here. Right off the highway. Cute ambience. Bar inside. We had a great breakfast. The regular home fries had perfect consistency but lacked flavor. I had to add salt and some ketchup. Easy fix by adding salt, pepper, and garlic powder in the kitchen when cooking. My secret is using sazon seasoning mix. Overall, great place to visit. Serves lunch and breakfast. Has a parking lot. Great service with a friendly smile.

    Irish eggs Benedict with Homemade Hash
    Jack R.

    The eggs be eggs Benedict was good, and the homemade corn beef was nice. The home fries on the side were very mushy and didn't have much flavor I would have been ok without them. The coffee was fresh. Seems like a popular place every table was full when I arrived.

    2 eggs scrambled with bacon and hash browns
    Allison K.

    Very cool spot. What stands out the most is the ambiance (cozy but also very clean!) and the service. The folks were so warm and welcoming! The food was also delish. I loved the veggie Benedict. Their English muffins are homemade and SOOOO much better than anything you can get at a store. Stop in!

    Eggs Benedict florentine

    Great service, the waiter had a joyous whimsy. Eggs Benedict was great and home style potatoes weren't bad either. Reasonably priced too.

    What a great dining experience! Having lunch in a 100-year-old dining car with only 16 seats at…read morethe counter was such a fun experience. The real spotlight should be on the quality of the food. We ordered three completely different items, each was excellent and made with high-quality ingredients. A great example, my daughter ordered a traditional breakfast plate. The pancakes were light as a feather, perfectly cooked with a hint of lemon in the mix. And, the syrup, pure maple syrup, is superb. There is a wait, but they take your phone number and will text you when your seats are ready. Waiting gave us time to visit some of the unique stores in town, only minutes away on foot. Bring cash; they don't do credit cards. But they do have an ATM outside. Grab a seat at the counter, and you will promise yourself that you will return.

    I have eaten breakfast here before-it was mediocre. Service was ok, we were pretty much ignored in…read morethe beginning although there were only 3 other people there. I cannot even remember what I got but I remember thinking it was a waste of $. As for the ambiance-it's a fiber with a counter & stools (no tables), it was uncomfortable & freezing inside. Decided to give them a try for lunch, I have read so much about how amazing their fried chicken sandwich is, so I entered that online and see the sandwich is $22...to get fries with that it is another $8.50...ok, I think it's my birthday & my husband and I can split it all so that's only about $15 a piece. Go to put order in and there is an AUTOMATIC 22% gratuity added that cannot be changed or removed. Let me get this straight-ya'll are charging $30.50 for a chicken sandwich and fries (nothing special-no antibiotic free range chicken, probably saline packed chicken from China ‍) AND you think it's ok to tack on 22% tip for LUNCH TAKE OUT???? Sooooo that's $40.56 for a chicken sandwich and fries, tax + tip. ‍ Yeah, no. I would not eat here if they were the last restaurant on earth. I love supporting local, but how greedy can you be?

It's really a combination of everything about this spot that brings us back. The only thing even close to a negative I could come up with would be the fact it's not located closer to us, but it would become dangerous and a must visit every weekend if it were closer. You will step in the door and it's a warm and welcoming space with a selection of tables, window seats and communal style table as well. Also during warmer times they have a back patio as well. The staff and owner Tyler have always been nice greeting you right away and going the extra mile for customer service! Besides the vibes the drinks and food are always top notch as well. From the chai lattes, espresso martinis, huge list of flavored lattes you really can't go wrong! Food wise since the beginning the sandwiches were my all time favorite breakfast sandwich and they continue to be! Besides their usual menu offerings they are constantly working on specials to keep you coming back for something different. For example the visit today my wife loved her Catface Florentine that came on an English muffin with swiss, bacon, sausage, spinach, with a lemon-dill aioli. If you find yourself in the area or even semi-close add this spot to your list of places to check out! Incredible food and drinks with friendly and fast service with phenomenal vibes overall!
