    Across Maine, iconic diners come in different shapes and sizes. From the fluffy pancakes as big as a plate to piles of perfectly crisped corned beef hash, these beloved spots have served classic comfort food to generations of hungry patrons. For more than ninety years, Moody's Diner in Waldoboro has offered famous homemade pies to regulars and visitors alike. From the Lumberjack Breakfast at the Palace Diner in Biddeford to the steak and cheese omelet at the Deluxe Diner in Rumford, author Sarah Walker Caron reveals the stories and recipes behind the state's most iconic community eateries.

      Classic Diners of Maine - Sarah Walker Caron

      Introduction

      The Cultural Significance of Diners

      It’s near the clock tower—the literal center of life in Storybrooke, Maine. And there, inside the house that holds Granny’s Diner, locals meet for coffee, drop in for breakfast or take out, celebrate birthdays and mourn bad news. This hub of activity is where new folks are told to go to find a helping hand and a friendly place. It’s also where so many of the residents of Storybrooke begin their days.

      Granny’s Diner is, truly, a welcoming center of activity. And while Storybrooke is fictional (you might recall it from the Once Upon a Time television show that aired on ABC), the significance of diners to local life is not. This could have easily been written about diners in towns across Maine that serve as cultural hubs.

      Diners in Maine are familiar places, serving familiar menus and welcoming folks from all over. Since the 1930s, Moody’s Diner—a long, white building on a busy midcoast road—has been serving classic diner fare from its Waldoboro location. Today, it’s run by the same family who opened it so many decades ago.

      In Biddeford, the familiar red-and-black dining car Palace Diner has served hungry folks since being delivered by the Pollard Company of Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1927. Sure, those faces, and their stories, have changed over time—gone are the days of millworkers seated at the counter for a quick, cheap, good breakfast. And here are the days of this little diner, which still has Ladies Invited emblazoned on the outside, being written up by top publications as a must-try restaurant.

      Moody’s Diner has been on Route 1 in Waldoboro since the 1930s.

      At the cozy Deluxe Diner in Rumford, perhaps Maine’s best-kept diner secret, folks have been sliding open the diner door since the 1920s. With sixteen stools at the counter, alternatively covered with red and brown leather, the space is tight, but it works. These days, the sisters who run it have great rapport with each other and customers, greeting many of them by name and saying goodbye with things like "See you
