Becky's Diner

Jill, our server was patient, polite, and very friendly. Suggested some local nightclubs since we were looking to party after. The food lacked a little salt but overall had good portions and filling.

Great low key, normal diner! Too many fancy places in Portland, this place is nice, and down to earth. I had the hamburger steak, it was great! Lobster roll was good too. Friendly staff!

We had breakfast here while staying in Portland. It right on the main street along the waterfront. Nice little place with a good amount of seating. A lot of food choices and coffee, juice, soda etc. I had the Maine wild blueberry pancakes and they were delicious! The waitress was friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend.

Not my first time here, but I had a much better experience. The place was less crowded and chaotic. The food was good and I had my first omelette there. Very good and will return to try more of the menu.

Best lobster omelette I’ve ever had!!! Loved the location of this diner and the service was excellent! Can’t wait to come back in the summer. Also highly recommend the clam cakes!

I've been coming here since my college days in 2015. I have loved it every time. Becky's always has friendly staff, nice atmosphere and good food. Unlike many diners in the area you don't get an upset stomach when you eat here. You leave feeling full and good. Thank you Becky's! Always a fan favorite and I always come back.

True diner through and through. You can feel it in their bones. The coffee was spot on.

We got the wharf breakfast. The Italian ciabatta bread was perfectly grilled. The homemade corned beef hash was so meaty and tasty. Something I’m weary of at a lot of places.

The star of the show that we came for was the blueberry pancakes. They did not let us down!

I was already digging in and forgot to take a picture before I started. A very delicious diner for breakfast food. I am from Texas and this reminded me of all the old time diners back home. Delicious!

Not sure if there's always a queue here (I wouldn't be surprised if there is) or it's just because of the holidays.

Anyway, the 20mins wait for a table was totally worth it. Lobster rolls come with fries and coleslaw and it's 1/3lb overflowing from the bread! It can come with either mayo or butter, we asked and were recommended to do butter so that's what you see in the photo. Poured the whole thing on the roll! The lobster is obviously very fresh and I don't think they add anything to it, it's just very fresh lobster on a roll and it's really really good!

We also tried the clam chowder which was a nice starter and we asked for the best desert of the day and they gave us blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream. I think both are home made, the blueberries still have their shape! 10/10 must try and will come back when we're in the vicinity of Portland again!

First of all I want to say thank you Crystal for telling me about this place!! Would have never knew the gem that was hidden here: Went to spot Sunday morning at 7am, seemed like the perfect time. We immediately sat down and ate within 15mins. The food was so tasty and different… I’ve never had anything like it. I love eggs Benedict but with LOBSTER??? It was just OUT OF THIS WORLD!! I left feeling light and full. The Market price was 29.00. The only I didn’t particularly like was the potatoes. But I definitely overlooked them because the lobster eggs benny was delicious! RECOMMEND 10/10!

This is an amazing place to get really good food. Small diner atmosphere with just delicious meals. No white table cloth, no fancy plates or plating, but awesome flavors. As good as I've had in Portland. Do not miss this jem.

Such a lovely diner experience! Expect a wait *we waited about 45 min during peak lunch time on a weekend* but it'll be well worth it! The food is classic and simple and delicious. The service was wonderful and you feel right at home!

If you want to just enjoy a lobster, this is the place! No nonsense operation, food was great and amazing service considering how busy they were.

I had an absolutely delightful experience at Becky's in Portland, Maine. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for a memorable meal. The menu was a true treat, offering a wide array of options ranging from classic comfort foods to more inventive choices. Opting for their signature dishes, I tried both the Lobster Benedict Eggs and the Lobster Roll. The Lobster Benedict Eggs were a revelation - the perfectly poached eggs paired harmoniously with the succulent lobster, all topped with a delectable hollandaise sauce. Equally impressive was their Lobster Roll, with generous chunks of tender lobster meat nestled in a buttery, toasted roll. The attention to detail in both presentation and flavor was evident.

Portion sizes were generous, and the reasonable prices made the dining experience even more enjoyable. What truly stood out, beyond the delicious food, was the impeccable service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and ready to offer recommendations, which added a personal touch to the meal.

Becky's is undoubtedly a must-visit in Portland, whether you're a local or a visitor. Their commitment to providing a memorable dining experience shines through. I'll definitely be making a return trip to savor their culinary delights again!.

Becky’s Dinner was outstanding! I was lucky and by myself, so I was able to walk right up to the counter and grab a spot. However, there was an almost hour-long wait for tables for groups. Just an FYI.

The service was great. Given plenty of time to review the menu and when my food was delivered, the server suggested a local sweet-chili hot sauce (Captain Mowatt’s Canceaux Sauce) that really good on my order.

Now, this was my first meal in Maine, so I had to go with lobster anything. Ended up getting the Lobster Omelette and wow - delicious! Yes, it was expensive (lobster was “market price”) but it was worth it. They loaded the omelette with lobster and each bite had a nice chunk of lobster meat. I added spinach to my omelette and it went perfect with the Swiss cheese.

All in all, I really enjoyed Becky’s Diner. Would gladly go again on my next trip to Portland, ME.

Reuben sandwich was delicious but the standout item for me was the pancakes 😍 especially the wild Maine blueberry. Topped with real Maine maple syrup it was heaven. Thank you for such a fluffy savory pancake experience

Came here due to a recommendation I found on another restaurant's reviews. I was not disappointed. Staff was great. Food was great. Had clam chowder, Haddock fish and chips, and of course a lobster roll. 🦞 Check this place out.

Was recommended by a few people that we had to have breakfast at Becky's before leaving Portland and I'm glad we listened!

We had the Irish eggs Benedict and the Steakbomb omelet and I'd say they were tied for best all time breakfasts.

Great mix of locals and tourists. Parking is limited for it's popularity but it's worth it even if you have to walk a bit.

My favorite diner in Portland. Crab melt was so good. My 2 year old son likes haddock chowder.

I ate at Becky’s for Breakfast and Lunch. The food was amazing and both breakfast and lunch service was great. Kate in the morning and Morgan in the evening took great care of me. They were very personable and fast. Highly recommend Becky’s
