As a food reviewer for Foodjoyy, I had the pleasure of visiting Mike's American Diner and sampling their well-loved dishes. The menu features a variety of hot luncheon plates that boast classic American flavors, including:
- Yankee Pot Roast - A comforting dish that warms the soul
- Baked Meatloaf - Tender and flavorful, just like Grandma used to make

“ Mike's diner has delicious food and great service! We had corn beef hash which was so tasty, we cleaned our plates. The eggs, toast, and potatoes were cooked to perfection. The cinnamon roll was delish but the BLUEBERRY MUFFIN WAS THE BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFIN I'VE EVER EATEN! And Mike was awesome! ... ”
“ Nice family friendly place. Good food and awesome service. We've only gone for breakfast a few times but are happy and full when we leave. ”
“ We were kind of in a page that day and needed something for takeout. My daughter lives right near Mike's and we go there a lot to sit down but we ordered a cheeseburger with french fries and a turkey club sandwich with chips and they were both excellent. We also got a soup of the day which I can't remember what it was but my girlfriend loved it. The food is always very good there. They have a great comfort food type menu that we really enjoy. The takeout was excellent that day. Always good food there. Always good service and a really helpful staff. Never had a bad experience..... I would recommend it to anybody looking for a nice casual sit-down restaurant that isn't too expensive and always has something that at least everybody can find something that they would like on their menu ”
“ Hands down the best breakfast I've ever had, the bacon was cooked absolutely perfect the reason bread is to die for two slices of heaven. My server Bonnie B is absolutely fabulous. I cannot recommend this place enough if I lived here in Maine I'd go out of my way just to come here and I will be back when I come back for vacation next year. ”
“ Very clean restaurant, you can see into the kitchen and it was clean as well. Our server, Deb, was awesome! You should ask for Deb she gave us the best service we have ever had. The food was five stars. I had the Irish Benedict, and my wife had the special, Haddock Benedict. Both were excellent! We also tried the Lemon Ricotta pancake. And a French Toast muffin. WOW They both were amazing! We will definitely be back! The pictures are not quite right, it was so good that we had already eaten about half of it before I remembered to take pictures. LOL ”
“ Excellent restaurant for those who like the nostalgia of eating old fashioned foods. You won’t ever be disappointed with their quality food and customer service and it’s Ideally a great brunch spot to enjoy. ”
“ We’ve driven by Mike’s American Diner a few times, and finally gave it a go. My only regret? Not stopping by sooner. The portions here are massive, and the prices are super fair. It’s rare to find breakfast spots these days that don’t skimp on food, and we left brunch full and happy. We both went for the chicken and biscuits, added eggs on top (2.75 extra), and it was even better than expected. Two big, juicy chicken breasts, one deliciously flaky biscuit (sliced in half), all blanketed in this unreal gravy — easily a 10/10. I have no idea how I’m going to order anything else next time. We also shared their French toast muffin, which came grilled with a side of butter. It was just divine. Parking’s easy too, with lots of spots out front and in the back. Service was friendly, and they kept our coffee and water topped up. If you’re looking for a hearty breakfast under 30 minutes from Portland, this spot is a win. ”
“ Excellent service and a wonderful meal. Highly recommended the chicken and waffles and blueberry pancakes. ”
