Diners near Belfast

“You can find Traci's Diner at 57 Main St, Belfast, ME 04915 at the intersection of Washington St - about half way up the hill where Belfast resides from the harbor. There seems to be a lot of street parking and also a few scattered lots here-and-there. We walked the nearby Armistice Bridge winding down the Train Trail and back to the Belfast Harbor walk, finally winding up the street to take a look at this picaresque town. Looking for something simple to fill our bellies, our local host suggested Traci's as he'd eaten there several times in the past. Traci's occupies what appears to be a local house that's expanded over time - there's an upper seating area with a counter and a lower room for additional seating. The interior is painted white and kelly green with polkadots - very whimsical. The available dishes are what I think of as traditional lunch/diner plates and sandwiches, breakfast all day with a few seafood items thrown in. I asked for tea and to my surprise they had an excellent southern-style sweet tea (seems someone there had spent time in the south so they made it right and fresh). For lunch we each had sandwiches and fries - mine was a pastrami reuben that was pretty good, served on marbled bread and a pickle spear. Fries were served with local ketchup. Service was exceptional - we arrived about 15 minutes before closing (afternoon) and everyone was really nice about feeding us anyway, knowing we would keep them there past closing. Kudos for this place for doing things right and taking care you customers.“

“From it's opening, my parents were early supporters and regulars of this Cafe. They have been gone from Maine for 15 years. This summer my brother went back and said he had the best breakfast of his entire life. And he's a foodie. I had occasion to return this October. We had the French Toast, eggs, sausage, bacon, muffins, sour cherry jam. All was outstanding.“
