Fun breakfast spot in the heart of downtown Portland. Place was small (5 booths plus 10 counter seats) so we had to wait about 20 minutes outside for seating to open up. Food was super delicious. I got the corn beef hash and eggs while my partner got the pastrami sandwich. Was fun to watch the staff work which ran like a machine in such a small space. Biggest complaint I saw from other reviews was the price. I will admit it was a hair on the high side, but it is a small independent restaurant so it was good knowing what we paid was staying in the local economy. Don't pass this place up.

Looking for a new spot to check out for my wife's birthday breakfast and this was the spot she wanted to try! It did not disappoint and thanks to getting up early and it being Decemeber we had no wait, although by the time we were leaving all the booths were full and some families were waiting. So expect a possible wait but I would say worth it based on the food! It's all you can ask for in a local diner. Small little booths and two sections of a bar top with the old school stools. They serve breakfast and lunch all day and have special boards for both breakfast and lunch! The breakfast menu had exactly what you'd expect a diner to offer! Everyone should easily find something they enjoy. The staff were friendly enough, but the only negative I would mention is that our server seemed much more friendly to every other table than to us. Just in the sense that it seemed to be more natural conversation and they seemed interested in talking to others. For us, it was more of a get it over with vibe. But, won't really let that factor into my rating as it seemed to be a small thing. My wife got the Number 4 and loved it, French Toast was on the colder side than we expected but wow some real tasty French Toast! I got their spicy pepper jack omelette and it alongside the hash browns and raisin bread were so good! The food is 100% worth coming here for especially if you want that small local diner vibe! I would enjoy coming back regularly to see and try their daily specials!

Had an amazing experience. Not the type to leave a review but my time was so great here that I had to. I would come back to Portland maine just to eat here again. This place will always be in my heart. Owner gifted us with free food, drinks, and stickers for the ride home. 10/10

This is definitely a gem in Portland, Maine. We've been to most breakfast places and wanted to go where locals go and this is it. It's a small space, but you're in and out pretty quickly. Our waiter was very attentive to everyone and extremely friendly. I would definitely go back!

I found out what the locals are onto....one of the best diners north of New York Best breakfast I've had in years - everything fresh-coffee served in real mugs - can't drink enough Here for business and instead of the tired hotel restaurant this is a great local place with good vibes. Wish we had one in New York!"

Classic diner vibes, classic diner fare. It's a small space with just a few tables but we were able to get a seat at the bar on a Saturday. Service was extremely friendly. I ordered "the classics" #1 - 2 eggs (I got them scrambled), 2 pieces toast (choice of white, wheat, cinnamon raisin - there might have been other options too), and hash browns. Everything was tasty and service was quick. Nothing blew me away but I did order something very simple so I didn't expect it to. Fair prices too, although a bit higher than what is listed online. Would definitely return!

Cute, busy diner. Gluten free options. We had the chili bean omelet, it was pretty good! Fast service, nice people. The owner is the cook - always a good sign for a diner!

Had a big night out, and while I didn't have a hangover, I also didn't want to make breakfast. Never been to Marcy's before because I thought it would probably be crowded being so small (and I'm usually at work during the week). But things lined up and I decided to try Marcy's on a Thursday. I sat at the counter and immediately felt welcome. The staff is friendly and seemed to be having a great time behind the counter. Ordered "the neuge" - a breakfast sandwich consisting of two eggs over hard, pork roll, american cheese, and a grilled roll - and an iced coffee. The sandwich was served with hash browns. This was one huge sandwich, egg and cheese spilling out the sides of the roll, yet still held together when I picked it up. Hash browns were delicious, crispy and well seasoned. Pork roll is something I don't think I've had before and I thought this was great. What really made the sandwich for me I think was actually the grilled bread, since the sandwich doesn't have any other toothy, crunchy aspects to it. The bread also did a lot of work I imagine soaking up the grease and fat and was all the more flavorful for it. My doctor says I need to watch my cholesterol and watch I did. It looked delicious and was. The waiter asked if i wanted anything else and I asked for hot sauce. He put a BUCKET of hot sauces on the counter for me. Mostly run of the mill fare like tobasco and cholula, but an impressive array nonetheless. Just a great breakfast all around and I'm so excited to go back again soon.

Classic, old-timey diner in Portland. Prices used to be much much lower but it is what it is. So many classic options as well as creative spin offs with local places like the Holy Donut French Toast that it's hard to choose. I came with a party of 3 on a Sunday morning, about quarter to 9am and we were able to get seated within 10 minutes. I got the No.4 and chose the Cap'n Crunch French Toast and sausage. Just be aware that if you prefer real maple syrup, it's a $3 upcharge. The French toast was perfect, and the savory dishes were standard. They do have an assortment of hot sauces that were nice. I also wish they served espresso drinks!
