The staff was very friendly. The food was really good and reasonably priced. The menu has plenty of options for most people. I would go again if I were in the area.

A vintage diner. Very, very busy. 11AM and still a 44 minute wait. That was a surprise. But the food was good, and the wait staff attentive. Most of the wait staff were masked, but not all. Cooks were not masked. Fortunately, the unmasked waitress was not ours.

The décor is charming. the staff was wonderful our waitress gave great service and the food was good i had the stake and eggs and my friend had the Corn beef and hash both were good the breakfast potato are amazing and the stake was good but i tried my friends corn beef and hash and i would Definitely get that next time

What a cute little diner! Food was delicious, portions not overly huge. Dogs allowed outside. Waitress was so friendly and prompt. Very inexpensive too.

The wait for food was a little long but clearly it’s because it’s a popular restaurant. The wait was worth it I had the best corn beef hash omelette of my life. Irish coffee was delicious. Party of 6 all of us enjoyed our food.

Great selection, very good service and fair prices. Wait time extensive, but they can be proud of that- never a bad thing for a small restaurant!

Never tried the food just an experience on a phone call.Me: Good morning, do you do reservations?Rude Worker: We do, but not over the phone! Click.Update: To the reply of the ownerIf you see the reviews of others, this is typical of your wait staff.I was hoping that I caught one on an off day, which happens, however reading other reviews this is not the case.I understand that you are telling me it is walk-in, wait list only, however it doesnt seem that everyone there understands the verbiage.

I loved the old time charm, the ambiance was nice, the prices were extremely good, the hostess was really nice too. The bathroom were so clean and nice. The food was really good, the french toast with the maple syrup is to die for. Yep I would definitely visit this dinner again whenever i come to portland maine.

This place is amazing and a must when you are in Portland!! I would give 10 stars if I could! Jessica was super nice and great!

A little pricey than what I expected but very delicious. That clam chowder was enjoyable and the lobster roll had plenty of meat.

The pancakes were the size of the plate!! They were huge and delicious we had both pumpkin & blueberry. And a breakfast egg sandwich which was also very good. Wait staff was great & friendly. Definitely would recommend!!

A cute little diner and the food is fantastic. We stopped for breakfast and both got the Irish Benedict with corned beef hash and I cannot recommend it enough. My only complaint would be the location, but its worth the trip

Good food and love the atmosphere!

I had the traditional eggs Benedict it was delicious. My friend had a burger and said it was cooked perfectly medium how he asked for it. Very juicy and filling. We took slice of carrot cake to go for his birthday. But we wished we would have gotten two because it was THAT good.

Get the home-made corn beef hash!! Never have i ever had it so good, it really is home made not like the canned stuff. I love the blueberry pancakes here, not overly sweet which is almost always the case! The staff are very friendly.

Amazingly busy, for a reason. The breakfast was served quickly, hot and deliciously prepared. The omletes were on point, chock full of ingredients. The experience was worth the wait. Totally recommend.

Had lunch here today... not that crowded (weekday). Breakfast all day, good burgers...Diner-style comfort food... great place!!

Outstanding value and food! Must try their signature Corned Hash Beef dish. Great dish. I also enjoyed their pumpkin pancake. Will return again.

The food here is veryyyy good. The service seems slow, but the line was also very long. Adorable little spot though. I’d definitely come back.

Miss Portland Diner was a fantastic spot. As previously reviewed, the pancakes are amazing. I had the buttermilk. Pictured to the left of the pancakes is their Irish Benedict. Corned beef hash instead of the traditional Canadian Bacon. It was fantastic. They also had a apple cider mimosa that was perfectly splendid. Definitely worth checking out if you can. Service was great too.

For many years, I thought of the MPD as home. With the departure of some long time staff, the familiarity has diminished a little. The food is great. Prices are reasonable. To visitors, it is place not to be missed. Ill still drop in when Im back in town for the Reuben or the Bayside breakfast.

Nice place. Friendly staff, excellent food.

Loved the vibe here. The key to a great oldies vibe is the music. You cant sit in an oldies diner or an old rail car diner and listen to Cardi B. I need Jailhouse Rock with my flapjacks and thats what I got here.

Fun and delicious. Great service. We were seated relatively quickly, even for getting there during primetime breakfast hours.That pancake was HUGE and buttery delicious.

Goodness I love this place. Visited last weekend and the wait was worth it. They gave us free coffee because it was cold outside. The pancakes are massive. Great fries, food, everything. Waitress was a delight.

Portions are big, food is tasty and pricey. Wait staff are pleasant and attentive. My waitress was Emily.

Awesome old diner with great food and nice music. Even as a young person its truly nostalgic, if you want a nice and easy place to stop for lunch in Portland, you should go here.

Cute diner. Breakfast was exactly as ordered. Very pleasant staff.

Great service, great little American diner. Food is fantastic, buttery and delicious. Seating was a little tight up top in diner area but there is more room on main floor as well as outdoor seating. Very comfortable environment. No mask required! Get the muffins and toast grilled!

Pros: Authentic Worcester Lunch Car Co. diner in beautiful condition, it is a step back in time. Vintage music playing. Convenient location with off street parking. Eggs benedict was awesome. (Theres some cheese in that sauce i swear) Service was good and friendly. Cons: pancakes a tad bit dry although they come with real maple syrup

This place was great. Good prices. good people. Good food.

Miss Portland Diner is a cute breakfast spot by the local college. They added outdoor seating. The prices are reasonable. There’s a big parking lot to accommodate all customers. Definitely, stop by Miss Portland for some food. Try the Lobster Benedict and French toast!

We were there this Sunday for breakfast. Super cute trolley diner. Outside seating is limited but theres an inside first floor seating area along with an upper level. All staff were very friendly. Food was great. Menu has a lot of options. You can also enjoy both breakfast and lunch menu after 11am. I highly recommend it.

Stopped in after a long morning of lighthouse peeping! Great menu, awesome food and service!!!Old school diner atmosphere!!

There was a little bit of a wait to get in...sat in the diner car...had a great breakfast and pretty good service

If youre in town for breakfast you need to stop here. Its a wonderful experience.

My first lobster roll .... WAS DELICIOUS. Good Portion of lobster, mimosas were good too. 25 minute wait was a bit long but very happy overall.

Since 1949 this diner has served the greater Portland area. The building itself if a classic old diner with an attached modern-ish addition for extra seating. The staff is very nice and helpful, the coffee was good too. One thing that really stood out in the meal was the pancakes. These were some of the best pancakes I’ve ever had and they took this place from a 4 to a 5 rating for me.

Very nice place great food and service its very clean and the staff are all great!

Great food, great staff! We’re just visiting the area but will def recommend to anyone looking for a great breakfast spot!

Huge disappointment. Ive been here before and received much better service before. However, this time waited about 40 minutes for food (not too big of a deal) but when we finally got it, it was already getting cold. When we finished eating (about 15-20 minutes later) we then waited for roughly 20 more minutes for a check. After receiving no check, we just left cash on the table (what we assumed our bill was) and left. Our table was only checked on once, and it was before we were served. Our waitress completely neglected our table. Half of our group (4) didnt even want to pay. I sincerely hope that service improves, or I wont be returning. Its a shame, because Ive had some great experiences here.

Short (15 minute) wait on a Friday wasnt so bad. Food was great and they serve big portions for breakfast. Lots of options to choose from without being overwhelming. Service was quick until we needed our check - then it took a while to get someone to come over, and then another long wait once they took our check. Otherwise, good experience.

This place blew my mind. The food is incredible and the staff laughs at your bad jokes. 10/10 will visit again!

Very accommodating, opened their outdoor seating for us and our dog. Coffee is bracing, as in loosen your fillings strong, but good. My gigantic blueberry pancake was very tasty with fresh, not frozen blueberries. Eggs were cooked to order and sausage was savory. Friendly staff and a dinner with history. Thumbs up all around.

We had to wait a longer time than promised to get seated and then also waited on, but they were very apologetic about that- it was a Saturday and they were very busy after all. The food was good!

Eh… it was just okay. Came on a Friday morning, long wait… ordered the 3 egg scrambled and waitress got the order wrong…food was fine but nothing extraordinary

Great food. Friendly service.

Good food cool old school feel on the inside.

This place is awesome- super cool. My breakfast is scrumptious. Forget all those reviews stating that service is slow- those people are total fools. The service here is impeccable.

I am a regular at this dinner. Im always greeted with a smile and friendliness. The food is excellent and the coffee tastes really good. Could go there every day.

Great food and great service! Loved outdoor seating

Great service and I enjoyed my corned beef hash quite a lot. Their pancakes are also huge and Id recommend just getting one if youre eating them by yourself.

Fantastic diner atmosphere, friendly, quick service! The food was exactly what you want and hope for at a diner: fresh, delicious, and straightforward. I got the pancake special and we split a frappe that was a special, too. My spouse had eggs cooked to perfection. We’ll definitely return any time we’re in Portland or driving north to other points in Maine.

As has been for the many years good food, very reasonable prices and a little nostalgia thrown in

We had a fantastic breakfast. The home fries were cooked perfectly and had just the right amount of seasoning. The French toast was the best!!

Great food. Corn beef hash was heavenly! Definitely would go again!!

The portions are HUGE (especially the pancakes!) and the service is friendly. Very unique interior (train car!) - definitely worth a visit for breakfast or brunch when in town. Popular with locals and tourists alike.

Great diner in Portland with reasonable prices. Be prepared to wait a little on weekends, but the wait is worth it. Though not technically a brunch spot, they do feature mimosas and draft beers.

Ok, not great, eg, breakfast burrito.

Charming little diner! Excellent customer service, coffee constantly topped off. The food was delish! I had the eggs Benedict and the hubby had the breakfast burrito. A must do for any diner or breakfast enthusiast!

Try the corned beef! Its excellent

Such a fun, classic place; delish food.

Everything about this place is pretty meh. This is the first time Ive ever had blueberry pancakes that actually needed maple syrup in order to be edible. The coffee is just okay, eggs were way undercooked, home fries were a notch below standard, omelet was extremely watery like a pool of water on the plate. Rarely have had a meal tear through our stomachs so fast.

Always very good food and good service at a good price.

I honestly hate giving bad reviews, but this place was not all it’s made up to be. The service was good and the environment is cool, but the food was just plain awful. I can’t put it any nicer than that. My husband and I couldn’t even finish the food that we ordered. It didn’t look appetizing and the taste was just so bad. We won’t be returning here.

Good diner breakfast food. The biscuits and gravy are homemade and delicious. Perfectly cooked sunny side up fried eggs. The staff is friendly and attentive.

While my daughter was in surgery, I found this cute diner and gave it a try to keep my mind off things since I couldnt go in with her due to Covid. The waitress was exceptionally friendly and the food was amazing. The receipt says her name was Catherine. She made me feel welcome and took my mind off things. highly recommend, thank you!

Waited for a table for 25 minutes when there where plenty of open seating. To only to have been severed horrible coffee and overprice dry food. Also stay away from their corned beef hash! Tasted like something scraped off a bathroom floor and heated.

Excellent hand pattied burger and hand cut fries.I tried a bite of my husbands Irish Eggs Benedict and it, too, was delicious.Great service and atmosphere.

Eaten here several times, always great food and service.

Love that place. Server was slow to bring coffee and get order., but food waa awesome.

GREAT FOOD! GREAT SERVICE.We had several itemsOn the menu and none disappoint!Fast friendly and reasonable!

Service was good and the food was great. Try the carrot cake.

Corned beef hash was fantastic as was the customer service. The train car was a great place to eat my breakfast. I will be looking forward to eating here again soon

Get more staff. They are obviously overworked. Good food and service. Good location.

One of my favorites for a hearty breakfast. The place is divided into two dining areas. One more of a cafe setting with tables and chairs and then another that is more of the classic rail car style diner with booths and counter stools. I always choose the latter. I used to go to this section as a kid when it was a stand alone diner at a different locale. The food! Classic diner breakfast and lunch. I ordered a Shamrock omelet which was stuffed with homemade corned beef hash. It came with classic grilled, skin on home fries that are perfectly seasoned and marble rye toast. More than I could eat... it generally is over there. Bonus: They actually serve good coffee too. Previously I dropped in for lunch. Again, great experience and food. A big ole fresh fried haddock sandwich and a cup of chowder. Fantastic! The counter service is always pleasant and attentive. Price point is on par with most other diners in the area.Easy 5 stars.

Always a good meal in a classic setting, and a bonus is the large parking lot next door!

A historic Portland diner experience.If youre a fan of greasy spoon diner establishments, you need to come to Miss Portland Diner. Located near Bayside, its not very far from downtown Portland or Forest Ave.They offer traditional diner breakfast foods at reasonable prices (most dishes are around $10 or less), as well as lunch. The interior is deceptively large - and its generally clean inside.The only downside of the place is that there arent usually a lot of servers, and the waits tend to be on the longer side. Still, the food is great, and the atmosphere is fun as long as you dont mind a little noise.Would definitely recommend for breakfast, brunch, or even just lunch.

Always a super place, with very good food

Very enjoyable breakfast. Extensive menu. The Western omelet is a full breakfast. Stayed for over an hour. Great service.

Great atmosphere, great service, incredible food! Loved this place!

We enjoyed breakfast here. great service and excellent food

I was a little apprehensive after reading mixed reviews, particularly about service, so decided to check it out for myself and was pleasantly surprised. Coffee was offered immediately upon sitting down, and refilled prior to my breakfast arriving. I ordered the Bayside Breakfast, with one piece of French toast and one blueberry pancake. The eggs were fluffy, home fries well-seasoned, bacon wasnt overcooked as is often the case, pancake was good, but the star of the show was definitely the French toast - crispy on the outside, moist in the middle, and made out of a delicious cinnamon bread. The check was brought over immediately upon finishing every bite on the plate. Would definitely return.

Great place to grab food before, hitting the Grocery shopping. Lots of variety, for any time of day.

The best,, great breakfast or lunch. Long wait lines, one hour.

Yummy comfort food in a retro setting.

We had brunch at Miss Portland Diner. We had the Chicken Pot Pie(Special), Banana Pancakes with Granola and the Arcadian Omelette. The food was really good. Service a bit slow, but considering they were dealing with a busy morning and covid restrictions, I would say they did their best. We did not get a chance to try their milkshakes, but definitely recommend Miss Portland Diner for a hearty breakfast.

Great food nice helpings at reasonable pricesAwesome turkey dinnerLoved the sweet potatoes fries

Great menu. Amazing food

Always delicious. My favorite pancakes in town.

Fun stop. Excellent Blueberry pancakes!

Poor servers. Theyre understaffed so I never got served.

Great food.Great pricesGreat staffGreat location.

Stopped through here on a road trip and happened upon this diner. AMAZING service, food was great and hot and served quickly. They had a dog friendly patio with heaters. Our server was Susan and our experience with her was perfect. If we are ever in the area we will be back!!

Yum yum yum! Food was delicious! Service was great! We will be back again!!

Dee- licious, old timely comfort food served at a high level of quality.

Great food! Great staff! Great atmosphere! If you don’t mind a little wait and believe me it’s worth the wait. Go here you won’t be disappointed. Five stars doesn’t truly describe my experience every time I go here.

Excellent eggs florentine!

Great food! Good prices too.

Awesome diner environment - railcar, counters, and standard tables
