Listen, we know a thing or two about breakfast here in our Pine Tree State. With the sun rising here first, we’ve got a head start on perfecting the most important meal of the day—it’s no wonder we do it so well!

But how do we determine if one breakfast and brunch spot is better than another, let alone the best in the entire state?

LoveFood’s report, ‘The Best Brunch and Breakfast Joints in Every US State, Ranked,’ highlights top spots for breakfast and brunch across the country. Their rankings are based on reviews, awards, and accolades, combined with input from their experienced team. While thorough, the list is subjective, reflecting the team’s personal tastes and preferences.

Now, let’s dive in: which iconic Maine breakfast and brunch spot is being celebrated as one of the best in America?

According to LoveFood and their report, ‘The Best Brunch and Breakfast Joints in Every US State, Ranked,’ the top brunch and breakfast spot in Maine—and the #2 ranked spot on the list—is Palace Diner in Biddeford. Second only to Leonard’s Bakery in Honolulu, LoveFood had this to say about their selection:

Portland is home to countless breakfast spots, but Palace Diner in Biddeford has the edge partly because it's set up in a vintage dining car. The all-day breakfast menu ranges from buttermilk flapjacks to French toast and several plates featuring the joint's exceptional crispy potatoes. Really hungry? Stuff yourself silly with the lumberjack breakfast – flapjacks, two eggs, potatoes and breakfast meat.

There you have it! The iconic Palace Diner in Biddeford is being recognized as the best brunch and breakfast spot in the contiguous United States!
