No matter how hard we try, we’re just not morning people. Sure a sunrise is lovely, but so is getting those few extra moments of sleep on a day when we know we’ll be running around busy. The only exception is waking up for an absolutely fantastic breakfast and you’ll find that at one of the most iconic diners in all of Maine! These days they even have extra outdoor seating!

Miss Portland Diner in Portland is a great example of a diner car produced by the great Worcester Lunch Car Company.

Originally built in 1949 the diner had a home on Forest Avenue until 1964 when it was moved to Marginal Way. It was restored in 2007 to it’s current appearance and inside things look exactly as you’d expect!

No room at the counter or in the booths? No worries! The diner has expanded to include a larger dining area to fit more people.

And these days we love that outdoor dining is an option. The patio has even expanded allowing for more patrons to enjoy their meals with the fresh air.

But, of course, the real reason we’re here is the food and breakfast does not disappoint. Just look at the size of this hearty breakfast.

If pancakes are a diner staple to you, they’ve got some of the best. And even if you choose a hearty breakfast, you can always get a pancake on the side.

This Irish Benedict is a popular (and delicious!) option.

Refuse to be a morning person? That’s fine! Their lunch menu is great, too.

And while we like to say we’re always looking to make great choices, we can never miss out on one of their classic and inventive milkshakes. Even at breakfast!
