Reviews for Otherside Diner in Portland, ME
Insanely small menu done very average. Portland has so many other options. My spinach and cheddar omelet was $15 and $4.50 for... an iced coffee. The food had very little flavor. The service was super nice. Attentive, friendly waitresses. Not worth thestop. Read more
Service wasn't too bad. I had the regular breakfast. I asked for over medium and the eggs were basically cooked through. The... scrapple was cut extremely thick and fried which isn't the best way to eat it. The hash browns were unique and very good. Thetoast was hard and not very tasty. Little expensive for the quality of food. Read more
Hands down best breakfast in Portland, ME. The Baklava cinnamon roll was a daily special, and the best cinnamon roll I?ve ever... had. The pancakes are huge and perfect. Served with citrus butter and fresh fruit which really takes them to the nextlevel. The hash browns are like giant tater tots. Big balls of shredded potatoes fried up with perfect golden browncrust. Every time I?ve been in, the owner has been running the FOH, and the service has been exceptional. If you haven?t triedthis place yet, you are definitely missing out. All fresh ingredients which really does make a huge difference. They also havedelicious local coffee from Coffee by design and amazing orange juice. It is a clean open kitchen with employees that obviouslytake pride in what they do. Do yourself a favor and try them out. Support local businesses, and if you?re looking for anamazing Italian sub, I highly recommend their other restaurant, the other side deli. Last but not least, the music andenvironment are perfect. Just be patient, they can get rather busy at certain times, but it will be worth the wait! Kudos to agreat business that takes pride in quality and does things right!! That you OSD!!! Read more
I stopped in for breakfast on my way to the train station. It?s very conveniently located and has a great atmosphere. The food... is was great and provided classic diner food with a slightly different twist. I had the lamb sausage and hash browns and it wasdelicious. Would definitely recommend checking this place out. Read more
Delicious! Took one look at the menu and knew what I would get. The pancakes are incredible, fluffy with a hint of lemon. If you... like palace diner pancakes, these are on par if not better. The only downside was the wait for the food after ordering, or itcould have been the hunger talking Read more
finally checked this spot out on a snowy morning and so glad i did! biscuits were dense and slightly sweet, which made an... excellent compliment to the not-too-heavy gravy, plus a generous amount of sausage. over-medium eggs were actually cookedover-medium ? always a great sign. service was speedy and friendly. between the music selection, ambience, and attention givento the ingredients, this feels like a refreshing departure from the old school diners we all know and love without going too faroff the beaten path. my only complaint is the menu being somewhat limited, but what can you do in these times. overall:classic, quality diner fare with a welcome, hip flavor. will be back soon!

On our trip from California to Portland we tried a few breakfast joints but none compare to this place. The food and service... were so amazing. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone and everyone. I ended up ordering the breakfast bagel with theirfeta cream cheese and it was bomb????! Heather was our server and she was wonderful. She was super nice and friendly. I can'tget over how awesome this place is. Thanks for the great service and the yummy food! Read more
Really good, diner places usually have either good eggs but bad fries Vice versa, but everything was super good here... (breakfast-wise) HAVENT tried other. The pancakes had an apple taste, so if you don?t like that you probably won?t like them.The portions are okay for the price not the best. Would be a 5 if it was cheaper Read more
