Martha MeeganSeptember 15, 2018The Blueberry Pancakes are Huge! The Baked Scallops are Sweet and Savory, the Corn Muffins are melt in your mouth good and the Seafood Chowder is worth the trip!
Ive been going here for years. My favorite is the lobster melt, lobster pie and the blueberry muffin. Supper friendly service but be prepared to wait. Long lines in the summer
Jake SmithFebruary 20, 2015The "2's Are Wild" Breakfast Specialty is a ton of food. You get eggs, sausage, bacon, toast, and two huge blueberry pancakes. An awesome value for a great meal.
ZenFoodsterJuly 17, 2021DDD’s Wells (ME) diner famous for MUST-TRY Lobster Pot Pie, Lobster Club & Lobster Benedict. Pass on Potato salad & soups since Seafood Chowder was watery & Clam Chowder was sour & cheesy..WORST ever!
Sherry BrownAugust 4, 2013Everyone I ate with this morning was extremely happy with their breakfasts. I had to have my own and find split the almond french toast with my mom. Biggest biscuit ever with the country breakfast!
- BBQ bill KowalchukMay 16, 2015Ordered the DDD. Seafood stew, Cod cake and Lobster pie. Stew was perfect Creamy n lots of seafood. Cod cake was huge, lightly breaded perfectly cooked. Lobster pie was the bomb.
Ed LiebiMay 8, 2019The Eddie Andelman was super delicious. Waitress was amazing she was so friendly and helpful. Thank you guys for a great meal!
The clam chowder soup is awesome here and breakfast is good here too. Don't miss out on the awesome clam chowder soup at Maine Diner!! 😀
Joe LytleAugust 3, 2015The Lobster Pie is great! And the beer and wine are both super cheap. A great place to eat. Just anticipate a wait because it's always crowded.
Todd RademacherJanuary 30, 2015Words cannot describe how good this place is. A must stop if you are in the area. Lobster anything and blueberry anything are a must here.
TiffanyAugust 19, 2021Lobster roll here was the best one I’ve had. I don’t think we’ve ever had anything we weren’t 100% happy with, and we’ve visited several times.
Appropriately CriticalSeptember 13, 2021Owner needs to see the dirt and grime everywhere get rid of needless things on every surface, paint repair restore CLEAN. Food’s good enough, prices ok, service is good enough hostess is crabby
Angela TripodiSeaboldtJuly 7, 2013I had the lobster Mac & cheese. It was GREAT Service was excellent. Well worth the wait and price
- Amanda SpurlockOctober 14, 2014Worth any wait. This place is amazing. Cod cakes are great for dinner and even better as eggs Benedict.
Todd NelsonOctober 28, 2012Had the lobster mack & cheese. It was really good and priced right. The wife had a great turkey club sandwich. We are definitely coming back.
jessica m. hintermeisterMay 13, 2013Though it may look like a tourist trap with its adjacent gift shop, its 30-year history, loyal clientele of locals, and vegetable garden set it apart from the average roadside spot.
JLAugust 5, 2013For all it's fame, I was expecting to be blown away. The seafood chowder is delicious, but I've had better. And while the lobster pie was tasty, chock full of meat, it lacked in flavor.
Desiree SweeneyAugust 11, 2014The chicken pot pie was yummy! Breakfast good and plentiful. Lobster club enjoyable too!
Beerlady TullysJanuary 11, 2012Located at the farthest north point on Route 1 in Wells before you hit the Kennebunk line, The Maine Diner is an institution that has been featured on so many food shows - who can count.
Sabrina Boyd-SurkaJune 14, 2014Everything with lobster and both chowders are delicious! Very fast service, too.- Heather FreemanAugust 7, 2014The lobster rolls are amazing! The wait will be long but sooooo worth it.
Fantastic place a must stop for the best in chowder & seafood.
Cole TJune 11, 2017Had breakfast here; breakfast burrito and coffee were extremely average. Apparently known for their lobster pie which I did not get to try.
Best Mac and cheese I have ever tasted. And the stuffed mushrooms are to die for.
Men's Health MagMay 5, 2015The Lobster Pie doesn’t look particularly noteworthy—it’s just a crock full of dark, greenish-brown bread crumbs. But oh, below that rich crust, you hit pay dirt: jumbo hunks of fresh lobster. Read more
Sara KennySeptember 24, 2013There is a reason the "Seafood Chowder" is award winning...do yourself a favor and order it.
Sara ShefferJuly 4, 2011The lobster pie was a touch over-rated, but the hot lobster roll with butter is a-dash-mazing! Read more
Visit MaineMay 26, 2011Folks swear by the lobster pie and other award-winning Maine food. They also have gluten-free bread.
Marcia DunsmoreOctober 18, 2022Hard to tell. Quality seems to have lapsed. But breakfast is still a winner
Chip TrottaOctober 19, 2010Smoked Mozz & broccoli Mac N Cheese was the biz!!! Blueberry Chip Ice Cream is real good too mmmm
