Kelley’s Sebago Diner – Windham, Maine

Background

We were heading back from a visit to Bridgton along Route 302 and thought we’d stop for brunch. Kelley’s Sebago Diner was a perfect place to stop. An easy turn into and ample parking. Kelley’s is open seven days a week, 7 am to 2 pm every day except Sunday when they close a 1 pm.

Arrival

We arrived a little after noon and were seated quickly. We opted for the “sunroom” and found it cheerful on a beautiful summer day.

Ordering

With a name like “Kelley’s,” I figured that the Corned Beef Hash and eggs would be a safe bet to be great. Then I saw the “specials” menu and ordered a Chorizo Hash Omelet instead. My wife was in the mood for a BLT with the bacon well-done/crispy, and she thought she’d try onion rings. (We are still on the search for the world’s best onion rings .) Rather than order extra bacon on the sandwich, she ordered an extra side of bacon, which is usually more economical. 

Food

The BLT was amazing. It was thick-cut bacon, well done as she asked, and plenty of it. She didn’t need to add any from the side order to make it an excellent sandwich. The tomatoes were fresh and tasted like they were locally grown, and the bread was hearty and fresh. Pretty purple orchids adorned the plate for a pleasing splash of color. 
My Chorizo Omelet was one of the best omelets I’ve had in years. The chorizo was made in-house and wasn’t greasy or overly spiced. It was delicious. The eggs were like I’d cook them if I were cooking
them myself. The portions were generous, and I was able to take about half of the food home for a great breakfast the next day. 
The table has jelly and butter, in case you want to add either to the scrumptious toast that came buttered.
The only negative thing was the onion rings. They were overcooked and very greasy because the cooking oil wasn’t hot enough.

Rating: 4.2

Ambiance: 4 (Clean and open, suitable for conversations.)
Food: 4 (Great except for the onion rings.) 
Service: 5 (Our server—Brittani—was friendly and attentive.)
Price: 4 (Brunch was under $15 each, not including drinks)
Value: 4 (Good food, excellent service, reasonable price.)

Conclusion

We’ll definitely keep it on our list of places for brunch in the Windham area.

Chef George’s Auto Mile Diner, Saco Maine

Restaurant Review – Chef George’s Auto Mile Diner, Saco Maine I’ve found a great little breakfast place in Saco, the Auto Mile Diner. It is small, but the food is excellent, and the staff is always friendly. I’ve been there several times for breakfast and have always found the breakfasts great. I was getting my Jeep serviced across the street and walked over for breakfast. I there are only eight tables, but I was able to find a good seat. Moments after arriving the Owner asked if I’d like coffee. After hearing my reply, a nice cup of coffee was placed in front of me. There is a menu on the table as well as posters on the wall suggesting other items. After several visits, I’ve found the Mexican Omelet is one of my favorites—peppers, onions, cheese, jalapenos, and tomatoes, wrapped in eggs with salsa and sour cream on the side. There are several choices for accompanying sides, I picked hash browns and a grilled English muffin. The food arrived quickly and was delicious

Restaurant Review – Pappy’s Café aka Pappy’s Tavern

Review by Don Taylor Pappy's Tavern - Andover, Minnesota It is rare that I go to the same restaurant two times in a row; however, I during my recent visit to Minnesota I went twice with friends to Pappy’s Café (The sign outside says Pappy’s Tavern while the menu says Pappy’s Café. People who know me know I really love a good breakfast, so two sets of friends on two separate days took me to Pappy’s. Frist, I went with friends from Blaine, MN, who live about 10 miles from Pappy’s. When we arrived, the place was very busy. We threaded our way to the back to a table next to the pull tab sales booth. It was busy, but it made buying pull tabs easy for my friend who only needed to turn around to purchase them. We ordered Bloody Marys while we reviewed the menu. The waitress, Sidra, brought the Bloody Marys with a snit. It had been a long time since I had a Bloody Mary in the Midwest that I had forgotten the tradition of having a small beer chaser (called a snit) with your Blo

Bridge Street Cafe - Rockford, MN

Image
While I was in Minnesota my brother suggested we go to breakfast at just about the best breakfast place he had been to lately.  He said it was about ten miles but would be well worth the trip.  So we loaded up our mother and headed to Rockford and the Bridge Street Cafe. The Bridge Street Cafe is a home-town cafe which is open for breakfast, starting at 6:00 AM (7:00 AM Sat & Sun) and open until 2:30 PM (3:00 PM Sat & Sun) and provides a nostalgic trip to a classic all American classic cafe.  Apparently downstairs of a Masonic Lodge the decor is pleasant. We were quickly greeted and asked if we wanted coffee or juice. We looked over the menu, my mother decided upon the “Breakfast Scramble” with breakfast potatoes (versa hash browns).  Both my brother and I decided on “The Bridge Street Breakfast.”  Three eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes, and toast.  Quite unusual, one of the options is French toast and both of us selected that as well as hash browns.  Breakfast Scr
