Brunswick Diner

I had the absolute pleasure of indulging in a culinary escapade at the Brunswick Diner, nestled at 101 Pleasant St in Brunswick, ME📍 on this sun-kissed Monday. 🌞 This enchanting establishment effortlessly emanates classic vintage diner vibes, delivering a robust menu of classic comfort food that not only captivated my taste buds but also came with a heartwarming backstory—the delightful owner, Cassidy, a sweetheart with an immense passion for the diner, which was previously her mother's. 💖 From the moment I stepped in, the aura of nostalgia and genuine love for the culinary craft set the tone for a remarkable dining experience, earning this spot a well-deserved 10/10. 🌟 Our gastronomic journey commenced with the Bowdoin bowl, a fully loaded breakfast masterpiece featuring crispy tater tots, brussels sprouts, cheddar, crumbled bacon, cherry tomatoes, and two impeccably poached farm eggs—all harmoniously smothered in hollandaise and adorned with scallions. 🍳🥓 The unexpected hero of this dish? The brussels sprouts, their unique inclusion weaving seamlessly into the symphony of flavors. The chicken and waffles presented a delightful symphony of tastes, with a fluffy Belgian waffle cradling a hand-breaded crispy chicken breast tender, crowned with a decadent combination of whipped sea salt maple cream cheese and spicy hot honey. 🍗🧇 The star of the show? The sea salt maple cream cheese butter—a genuinely distinctive and scrumptious touch that elevated the dish to unparalleled heights. 👌 The two blueberry 🫐pancakes were a study in simplicity and perfection, each bite bursting with flavor. 🥞 Pro tip: drench them in syrup; you won't regret it! The chili we savored struck the ideal balance of cheesy goodness, leaving us yearning for more. 🧀🌶️ And finally, the Reuben sandwich—a culinary masterpiece showcasing some of the finest-cooked beef between two slices of bread. Each bite felt like a celebration of culinary perfection. 🥪✨ In conclusion, a visit to the Brunswick Diner is not merely recommended; it's a necessity. The food deserves its solid 10/10, with affordability following suit. While the ambiance scores a respectable 7/10, it undeniably contributes to the overall inviting atmosphere of this vintage gem. 🍽️🎉 P.S.: Treat yourself to the delightful mimosas here, priced at only $10! You can even split a bottle of prosecco with fresh orange juice. Alternatively, indulge in an Irish coffee—either choice is guaranteed to hit the spot! ☕🍊🥂

Old-school diner in appearance but with a more modern, pared down menu. I saw lots of different options for Eggs Benedict but didn't notice some typical diner staples like pancakes or French toast on the menu the day I was there. Very accommodating staff and quick service. Recommended for a great local breakfast spot!

Pleasant and snug little diner. Pancakes are very good. Homemade corned beef hash is excellent. Avoid the Reuben, because although it is well-done and the corned beef is homemade, it is sliced way too thick and tough to eat on a sandwich.

Don’t let the unusual ordering arrangement deter you from eating at this fabulous diner. When you walk up, there is a booth outside where you place your order. There is an atm there as well but they do take credit cards. You can pay either there or inside, although the card reader outside was not working. Once there is room inside, they take you in. There is outside seating too, but everything was wet from a storm when we went. Inside is a classic diner setup with counter seating and booths. It’s a tight squeeze between the two. Coffee is fantastic, I had the breakfast sandwich with home fries. Came on a perfectly crisped English muffin with gooey melted American cheese. Home fries were nicely seasoned. My son got the blueberry pancakes and a milkshake and said they were both really good. $70 without tip for 4 people with non-water drinks. Service was super friendly and attentive. No issues finding parking. Would definitely come here again if in the area.

Our group of 9 enjoyed breakfast this morning at the Brunswick Diner, a great, historical diner. We were met and served by fabulously friendly folks! Every single meal was delicious; we left no crumbs nor morsels. Fantastic!
