Great breakfast (they make the corn beef hash) with excellent service at great price. This is a go out of my way place that I will visit again!

Nice enough place. Haven't been back in years, no noticeable changes, still your typical diner. Service is good, well staffed, attentive and cordial. Food, again typical, though a bit greasy for liking, still using an excess amount of butter or whatever they use, at least in my opinion. Wife's ruben was by no means "lean", but she simply trimmed the fat away and moved on to enjoy it nonetheless. Because it left no impression on me good or otherwise not sure I'd ever recommend it, not out of malice, just don't think it would cross my mind, if asked.

Cozy little place in a beautiful town, the service was great. The food came out fast and tasted amazingly.The price was surprisingly cheap for the great food i received too.The only thing I can say is the pancakes are a little grainy. but other than that, this is a must visit for a great breakfast.Didn't have cream cheese or bagels, too.

We went on a Saturday morning, and this place was packed. We had to wait for about 5 minutes before we got a table, which isn't bad considering there was a line when we got there. It's a small little like family owned diner. Everyone was super friendly. The food was amazing. The French toast was the best. My husband had what they called the Gongoosler. Now that's a breakfast plate. It came with 3 eggs, 3 kinds of meat, potatoes, and bread. The prices are great, not too expensive. Definitely recommend that if you're in the area, you should try this place out. They are open from like 9am to 2pm

The service and atmosphere were very nice however the food wasn't as good as I expected. Don't get me wrong I thoroughly enjoyed what I ordered (a breakfast sandwich) and it was very good, I just don't think it was exactly worth the restaurant outing as I'm pretty sure I could make something about the same quality at home. Maybe if I was a little more adventurous and got something else off the menu I would be wowed, but I just wasn't this time. I do plan to come again and try some new stuff. The service was very good though and all the staff was very nice. We had a little bit of a wait (around 25 minutes) but as soon as we got seated lots of tables became open. We just arrived at the wrong time I guess ??. I didn't mind the wait, but keep it in mind if you plan to dine here around 11:30am. The French Toast was very good!

There was parking on the street for this establishment. When we arrived which was around 11am on Sunday. I ordered the eggs, hashbrowns, white toast and bacon. Everything was so delicious! We had a bit of a wait. But we had heard good things and we were patient. We noticed a long line appeared while we waited for our food. The waitress moved fast and tried their best. I would advise anyone to try this!Parking: Parking in front of restaurant and across the streetKid-friendliness: Plenty of options

It's Dale's! Breakfast is amazing. Some of the home fries were a little undercooked but everything else was great! Service is quick and friendly!

It's a smaller restaurant so if you come during peak brunch time grab some patience! The servers and the kitchen work their butts off and remain friendly and kind! Your coffee cup will never be empty! Food is pretty good- filling portion sizes.

The wife and I love this local spot for brunch before doing our Saturday chores. Food is made with great ingredients and service is fast and accurate. Only negative is I wish there wasn't so many condiments on the table, especially for a 2 top, it feels a little claustrophobic. If you can look past that everything else is perfect and small town Waterville feel. Will continue to come back ?Vegetarian options: Not vegan friendly, menu is meat and dairy focusedParking: During busy times it's hard to get a spot and or a tableKid-friendliness: So/soWheelchair accessibility: Yes but it's a little tight
