This diner is amazing! It's in Biddeford, about 30 minutes south of Portland. In a small train car, the diner only fits about 10 or so people. Be prepared to wait for a spot at the counter on the weekends and even weekdays during the high season. It's really good diner food!

Delicious food-- one of our favorite places. A lovely place to sit and enjoy company. Smell the wood fires when you walk in and don't miss the walk in wooden vegetable refrigerator near the hostess table. Everything looks so beautiful. The mussels dish is famous! But basically, everything is delicious!
